He's not allowed to go over 47mph. Why do you think he's always on holiday? He only spends about 12 hours doing holiday things before having to set off for home (or work? Does hairnet even have a job 🤔)

[gm]

that’s the durham / mazda lads just got home, had a great day out, cheers all 

 

[High Jetter]

😀

[gm]

some say his shirt is as loud as his exhaust, all we know is that he calls himself gm and drives an exo  

[loserone]

What happened to @Ghosty? And @alcyonecorporation ?

[tooSavvy]

The SavvMobile made it to Wallsend.... 160m

*Slightly more as we doubled back with military rd closed to traffic = RTA 😶‍🌫️

🚙💨

[loserone]

Also, can confirm that lunch with @tooSavvy AND @hairnet was a grand old time.

 

Got the impression they might have had differing views on making progress but it all seemed to go swimmingly.

[loserone]

So apparently we had a visitor who everyone assumed everyone else knew 😂

 

To the SCTSCH lurker with no username and the 04 plate Golf, was a pleasure talking to you.  We assume you were a highly trained TDW infiltrator.

WOMAN_df2k has a photo on the camera of the entire group at the Scottish border. He was in it so hopefully actually got a pic of him.

Good chap. Would shitefest with again.

[hairnet]

he was good to listen to 

did anyone ask him why glof

 

[loserone]

Never mind that, nobody asked him his name 😂

[Sunny Jim]

We did, he just he was a lurker who hadn't registered and then went on to ask about whether there was anything worth reading off the main board.

He'll see our comments here anyway but he's always welcome to join in again!

(Also naturally the for sale section is reason enough to create an account).

I've said it in the WhatsApp group before but once again thanks to everyone who joined us this weekend. I had a great time and really wouldn't mind being a host for another meet in the future.

Also thanks to @alcyonecorporationfor coming even after the nightmare that was the trip up here, just to have a chat about all the shite we both share an interest in. One of my personal highlights of any meet is getting to drive cars you'd never get a chance to otherwise. @gm's Exocet and the SVX are two perfect examples of those type of cars so I'm thankful for the opportunity to have a go in both today.
