[Dec 14, 2014] Yorkshire December Drive Out (Haworth/Rishworth)

[Matthew]

Afternoon gents.

Follwoing on from the success of the TOPO meet a week or so ago, myself and @leeds_182 are looking to arrange a driving meet.

The date will be Sunday December 14th 2014. The link to the route is below (if someone knows how to embed this, I'd be gratefull).

We did this back in 2009/2010 and it was a right good doo. Not a huge drive either, so no need to worry about the petrol price :wink:

Please use the RSVP buttons at the top of the page.

Link to route: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?sadd...FaC5JrOol1Ig&oq=HD2+2EA&mra=ls&via=4&t=m&z=11

I will add more details shortley, in terms of meet location etc..

Thanks

 

[jenic]

Yep, I'm up for this.
I'm in Halifax that weekend, although I have to pop to York that day, but I can likely get that done in the morning and then come to this after.

Is the road over Baitings open again then?

 

[Matthew]

Nice one mate!

I'll have to double check that Mike - if not I can re-route.

 

[leeds_182]

Ill be there homes.

 

[realnumber 1]

I can probs make this.

 

[Brookie.]

I'll try my best, although the date rings a bell for some reason. Hopefully I'll be ok for it.

 

[Matthew]

It the date proves to be a deal breaker for people, we can always review it.

 

[Feirny]

I can't do a driving meet until my driveshafts are sorted.

 

[dann2707]

Well up for this! Put it in my diary so I don't double book like I did with the TOPO meet (trials got in the way)

Is a driving meet basically meet at the place then drive to the end point? Sorry for such a noobie question but if it's exactly that I'd love that as I'd much rather be driving than looking at peoples cars

 

[dann2707]

@Nick_Leeds fancy convoying down to this buddy?

 

[Nick_Leeds]

Looks good. I'll check with the missus. We are getting into calendar dangerzone near Christmas + a 13 week old greyhound might make it tricky.

 

[Simon_16v]

May come along, pending any Christmas shopping I get told to tag along with

If I am free, I'll convoy over with you guys. I live very close to Nick!

Yep, that's pretty much it mate. I prefer a drive out than standing looking at cars tbh.

 

[dann2707]

Awesome. Definitely down for this. Will have my B14's on by then too hopefully :yum:

 

[leeds_182]

Anymore takers?

 

[Nick_Leeds]

I'm out,our lass is in Dusseldorf so I'm looking after the hound FFS.

 

[nebraska182]

I live in Ripponden - that road over Baitings is still closed due to them building a new bridge.

 

[Matthew]

Not to worry, ill re route it.

 

[joshster321]

Absolutely! We are on public roads so your 1.2 will be fine. All are welcome mate.

 

[ACS_Motorsport]

was there also something organised for this Sunday somewhere? cant find it on here unless it was on the fb page? Im temporarily not on fb so cant see it lol. It was a Leeds meet or Batley? Cant remember? Might have been @Spinksy who organised it?

Anyway off topic... if i can make this I will chaps! deadlines are going mental for me at uni so depends how busy I am!

 

[Matthew]

I'm not on FB so wouldn't know. Anyway, nothing else in the Yorkshire region's section, which is where it's at...

Anymore takers? All are welcome.

Sorry wasn't trying to step on anybodies toes in here I just recalled seeing it somewhere, I was hoping it was with you lads as your a lovely bunch! and its quite close to where im staying in hudds! :up:

 

[Matthew]

Amended the route very slightly, as a bridge is closed at the moment.

[realnumber 1]

Those lights/U turn in Ripponden could be interesting if there's a decent turnout lol.

 

[Matthew]

I'm thinking that

The turning circle of the fiesta is worse than my coilover'd Clio too!!

 

[schofield14]

I'll come. Not far from me, be my first meet in the clio too!

 

[Matthew]

Yeah get yourself along mate. The more cars the better!

 

[jenic]

I've had to change to a maybe, as I might be in York a bit longer than I planned. Do you plan to go to a pub or anything post drive like last time? Probably more chance of me meeting you lot then.

 

[Matthew]

Yeah probably get a drink in the Nags Head like last time I would have thought after.

 

[Donny_Dog]

If I had a car....
I'd probably let you down at the last minute anyway.

 

[realnumber 1]

I'm still hopefully going to make this but with recent events it kind of depends if I still have my car and if not what kind of rental shed I get. If it's a 1l piece of s**t then I'll be out.
Although they did suggest I should get something similar!

 

[Matthew]

Defo still come mate. Might be the last time you get a good drive out of the car. Or, you can smash a rentals back doors in!

Join the club haha, I'm coming in my 1.2 (all of 75hp) aha

 

[schofield14]

[Matthew]
