Racing Blue meet - 28/02/2010 - Ladybower - All Welcome

[jenic]

The downside :dapprove:

I was in two minds about how long to make it, people seem to want to do the Cat & Fiddle as they're coming from far away.

Since the cat and fiddle is being ruined soon after this meet I think everyone should make the extra effort to drive it, even if it means an extra £30 of fuel used.

 

[ipodsandguns]

Could have to routes?

The full one and a light wieght one. Would be best way also as alllll those clios on one route could attract un-wanted attention.

 

[The Boosh!]

Im easy. I will try and programme both routes into my sat nav so I know what the crack is. Not sure how I'm gonna manage that then?

We will finish Route 1 (about 1 hour)

See who wants to go/stay, then crack on with route 2 if there is demand for it?

a 1 hour blast isn't gonna use that much fuel!

im coming down from up north east and meeting a few guys on route so gonna have a hour convoy then too. think ill just bring the sat nav along so that if after leg 1 my money is gone &/ its enough i can head back, although i think with so many of us when im there ill wanna stay on.
yeah 36 clio's will probs raise the 5-0 attention lol.

I bet I'd easily use over half a tank.

I'll be driving from Durham so can meet up if ya like and convoy down.

 

[hhh182]

I'll be driving from Durham so can meet up if ya like and convoy down.

my plans are to travel from home (northallerton) to leeds saturday then meet up with some people on here at brighouse, theres another forum thread about that, its like half hour away from me (m1 south direction, second junction for A621 leeds). basically 2nd turn off you come across on m1 past selby.
if you fancy i can meet you outside leeds? then go to brighouse?

 

[DMS]

What trying to keep up with me?

I could keep up with you on tickover

Seriously though, it's quite thirsty nowadays because I can't resist driving with my foot to the floor.

 

[kev182cup]

Well just gonna be using sat nav I could probs meet ya in some service station on the motorway, would have to try plan our trips so we meet at the same time, was thinking about a 10.30 set off from Durham so would be in Leeds for 11.30.

 

[The Boosh!]

Don't blame me if this meet is shite.

meant to be meeting in brighouse at 11:45 so if you left half hour early kev182cup then i could meet you at 11:15 on the roundabout off the m1 onto the A621 'leeds'? im coming from girlfriends uni halls 15mins down the road.
its the junction off m1 between junction 44 and 43.

 

[kev182cup]

Yeah could probs set off earlier, I know Leeds alright but not sure on junction numbers and stuff.

 

[hhh182]

just thought its not the flippin A621 its the turn off m1 junction 45. ill meet you there if you like. its a new sliproad and roadabout and is huge and theres a place to pull over and meet on side of roundabout.

if that works lol

 

[clio carl]

cant make this one now guys

i aint wasting 2 tanks of fuel on a meet lol, it dont even cost me 1 tank to go to fcs n back ffs.
how the f**k did this meet start as a few pics n a blast and end up a world cruise lol. rediculous,i think you just managed to ruin what would have been a top meet with 36 cars, but you aint gonna get that now.

 

[Laura182]

So, are we still thinking of going to Ladybower then? There's plenty of room in the car parks and things like that, seems a good place. If we are, I might just meet you there instead of going to The Strines first?

[Laura182]

Oh god i'm useless!! lol. :dapprove:

 

[hhh182]

Dont hold back mate, tell it like it is.

 

[DMS]

I may or may not be able to attend. Depends on whether or not I'm on call again this weekend (I shouldn't be).

 

[Matthew]

Think I'm gonna have to pass this one over - I just cant afford the fuel costs this month :dapprove: gutted.

 

[clio carl]

just ignore me lol having a bad day, enjoy the meet though.

 

[jenic]

We need a planned stop at a petrol station too luke :rasp:

Everyone who was originally coming (especially the rb's) should at least come for part one, or even just the little meet before hand.

I'd like to ask those not wanting to spend so much on fuel why they bought a hot hatch and now don't want to go for a decent drive in it? you should of bought a golf tdi tbqfh

 

[DazJ]

So where is everyone actually meeting first, hopefully the offers for me to jump in with someone is still open
Will need postcode of 1st meeting place as well

We meeting at strines mate. Strines inn.
If I dint have a passenger you can come with me.

Using fuel ftw!

 

[Jonff]

Looking like it'll be a good meet/drive this one. Hopefully as good as the 1st Cat&Fiddle meet I 1st went to in summer last year.

Just a question about going over the Cat&Fiddle, with the proposed average speed cameras going up soon, won't there be speed traps and police all over the road leading up to when the cameras are put in place? Alot of people will have the idea of giving the road one last blast before it's ruined with cameras and the police will anticipate that surely?

 

[DazJ]

not enough money yet to afford full tank or 2 of diesel
Apprentice wage + emergency tax code [BR] = lack of funds

Strines Inn - S6 6JE if anyone wants to know

If we are sensible we will be fine. You can usually see the cameras long before you get to them anyway.

Besides, you don't need to be driving at ridiculous speeds to have a laugh - There are some good corners out there that will keep you on your toes.

 

[Melissa]

I have far too many outgoings this month including car tax so cant afford 2 tanks of petrol, i'm not being an arse, if somebody asks me if i want a blat with them cool, if not life goes on.

Yeah I agree, wasn't my intention to pick holes in the route/plan , just a general question about it.

Lets just hope you can indicate correctly this time

 

[kev182cup]

People who are short on funds can always jump in with people and park up somewhere, I have 1 passenger but some1 else is more than welcome to jump in.

LOL! I'll be pulling the fuse out if that happens again.

nice offer like, shame im the worst passenger ever!


im definately there for meet at this stinnes inn, and a few pics. itll depend on costs for rest of this week and also cost there considering convoying too the venue too.

 

[not normal dan]

so then wots the plan now? meeting place? an where exactly does the drive end?

 

[Dave..]

Meeting place is the strines inn still, and the drive ends back at the strines. One big circuit.

 

[not normal dan]

arr right so where the first drive ends the second begins jus confused me a little ha ha

 

[Dave..]

Yeah, it's basically a circuit, cut in two.




I should probably say at this point, that there isn't anywhere to stop at the end of part 1... I literally ended it in the middle of a village cus it was easier to do it like that on google maps.

Good stopping points would be, Chatsworth and the Cat & Fiddle Pub

 

[not normal dan]

wicked sounds a top plan i just didn'y quite understand maps tbh thanks for clearing that one up dave cheers
