Lol geddes you need to loosen up a bit man, ya sound like someones dad

I'm thinking 70-80 all the way should do, I'm not crawling along at 60

 

[Stu-]

Lol! I think he means, no 130's haha.

 

[Chris205]

Lol! I think he means, no 130's haha.

I'm sorry I can't commit to this not happening lol, it gets boring sat at one speed for hours on end, trying to decide whether I should refit my steering wheel for the cruise control

 

[leeroybrown]

The day Chris sits at 70/80 on a motorway I will eat my hat!

 

[Chris205]

The day Chris sits at 70/80 on a motorway I will eat my hat!

How does that hat taste? Last year I took the mini and did 70 all the way there, apart from a motorway drag race with jimbo in his saxo, the mini won I got 43.5 mpg aswell over 250 miles

When me kev and dean went to trax I set the cruise control to 126 in the trophy and sat back lol quite scary tbh

 

[7unner172]

Lol! I think he means, no 130's haha.

lol keep the 130s for the way home haha

Cruise control- PAH! I love the feel of the Sabelt wheel, when i mount it correctly hehe

 

[Geddes]

70-80 will de me, it's so nee one dosnt do 'pedal to the metal' and spoils it for everyone and also on prev meets it boiled me pee i was livid when people took of and left people behind esp me while i was putting my facia on and sat nav n that. If this happens again you dont want to see me angry and i'm not joking

This is a new year a new start lets make this fair on everyone not just for your own amusment, not everyone wants to have abit of play on the road you know

 

[Chris205]

Just chill mate clio's are fun cars and the majority of us want to have fun in them. Granted the hartside trip was a bit faster paced than we'd of liked especially as I was co-pilot and didnt know where we were going. Although in kev's defence if you know the roads its hard to just crawl up them

I want to do another hartside trip this year and I will lead the pack and put someone who knows the way in the middle'ish and make sure the new people to the road are behind me. It's a very easy road to learn and there isnt many corners you can't see or have to take drastic measures for.

 

[-KarL-]

LOL! i might book up

 

[ken182]

i was up hartside on wednesday on the clio. know some good roads round there as i do alot of greenlaning in the area too

 

[jesus]

I'm in, will be a last minute job as usual. And you can all meet me on the way down, again.

 

[Jon.G]

I take it from this that nobody from the NW is interested in a convoy

Sell out.

 

[jesus]

Ha, I always go FCS with the North East lot! The night out is better

 

[Jon.G]

Ha, I always go FCS with the North East lot! The night out is better

Fair enough you big sell out. First year ill be going FCS. and probably the last.

 

[jesus]

Why the last? To be honest it's usually the same every year, but it's a good night out and a good day out to follow.

 

[Jon.G]

Why the last? To be honest it's usually the same every year, but it's a good night out and a good day out to follow.

Well i've never heard anything good about it, and im more than likely getting rid of the clio at the end of this year. But who knows I may carry on going fcs if its good like trax.

 

[jesus]

I went last year and I didn't even have a car! Trax is better, FCS is a bit French

 

[Jon.G]

I though you had your 1.2, with the wheeeeeels. Or was that the year before?

 

[jesus]

Year before I had my 172 this time but couldn't drive it as I wasn't insured until 26th June (my birthday ).

 

[Jon.G]

Ahh yes. So you first took a french car, then no car now an italian car. hmmm

 

[BenMc]

a few of us will be going down but will sort out bit closer todate when everyones sorted they all leave till month in hand lazyiness is bad lmao

 

[Geddes]
