The planets have aligned and I can finally make it to a drive day! However, as luck would have it, the mk1.5 isn't running as good as it should so fingers crossed I'll get it going properly by then.

[Gilles27]

Put me down for this please. I'm sorry I missed the Lakes run, but the fact I'm typing this next to the pool in ,Egypt makes up for it!

[Scott Forster]

Im up for this run, please put my name down.

Ta,

[Johnsf]

Please put me (and probably my co-pilot brother) down for this.
Thanks John.

[Martin42006]

So don't be shy.
Bill.

[mk1 dal]

Put andy and me down bill , going in own cars .

[BIGBOYZJUNK]

Hi Bill, Please remove me from the list, unfortunately I have an engine issue!! #GUTTED!

[chief44]

That's a shame, I was looking forward to seeing that car. Hope you get it sorted fairly easily.

I've got my new brakes on and have sorted the power issue so there's no more 'fingers crossed' about it. I'll be there! I'm really looking forward to this.

[BIGBOYZJUNK]

Got an enigine to drop in at the weekend, hopefully will be able to attend the Peaks Run:lol:

[BIGBOYZJUNK]

brilliant work , i bet your one happy man now :+:

Four hours blasting round the Peak District without issue this morning, well chuffed and cracking weather also!!

[chief44]

Fair play, that's some quick work. Very well done!

[Johnsf]

Have just noticed Bill has got his mobile number wrong !!

It should be 078 127 387 64 (as he has it in grey writing at the bottom of his postings)

Don't want anybody getting lost and then trying Bill on the wrong number !

See you all tomorrow,

John F

[Lakelad]

All set, ready to go!

Graham

As above really, an excellent day out. Rich, my passenger, took plenty of photos and videos so I'll edit the bunch and get some stuff up later tonight.
Many thanks to Bill for sorting yet another cracking day out and for providing some serious fun on that last thrash. It was very nice to meet some new people and we had some lovely motors out today.

Cheers all,
Ben.

[dylbie]

We had a brilliant time as usual, I will post a few pics up when I get chance, might be a couple of days before I get it done.
Thanks to Bill and Gary for their efforts in organising and leading the run.

John & Martin F.

[Lakelad]

So this will be the filming that was taking place today on the shores of Lake Gwynedd just after we lost our police escort and passed the hillside fires!

Looks good to me mate , the OOOOooooo at the end said it all top fast run ,Cathy was usually quite at this point and gripping on to the poor door handle but TBH i was taking it quite steady :lol: .

[Gilles27]

I didn't realise I'd said that till I just watched it. Those lads in the hot hatches at the beginning of the video were really caning it.

[mk1 dal]

V tec yo them Honda boy's had them singing and yes they were going like fook that's for sure

[BIGBOYZJUNK]

Honda's!!! bring back good memories of my CRX VTEC, it was a flyer!!

[Scott Forster]

Had a great day yesterday, so much so that when |I got home I passed out from tiredness!

My passenger took a load of good shots and took a few movies too. As soon as he sends them to me I will post them for everyone to see.

See you all soon hopefully!

Scotty

[Scott Forster]

P.s Ben I didn't realise yours was a 1.5, now I know how you took three of us on the windy road sprint :P

[chief44]

P.s Ben I didn't realise yours was a 1.5, now I know how you took three of us on the windy road sprint :P

Ha! Yep, it's got a the rev2 turbo lump in it which is very handy on those roads. But even with the extra power, it took a fair bit of effort to keep up with Bill!

[Scott Forster]

I was there or there abouts! Bill is pretty handy behind the wheel.

I think a brake upgrade is on the cards, which I noticed you mentioned something about Celica pots in one of your threads.

The going is not the problem, its the stopping!

[chief44]

Yes indeed, you did well keeping up.
It was my first proper drive using my new st165 brakes and I'm glad I finally got round to doing it. It's a fairly simple swap and they provide decent stopping power.

Well spotted Graham, I thought I'd got away with that !!

[bill hulme]

Thanks to all that turn out for the run, also thanks to all of you for being patient, As I get quiet bossy to keep things running.
It was good of Gary to arrange a police escort for when he was in front, Nice one also it was lovely to see Cathy on the run, Lets see some more partner joining us.
It was a smashing day out but I was knackered and in bed for 9.00.
Hears to the Peak run, See you all soon,
Bill.

I am 50% confident that this link will finally work! It's a must-see if you're a fan of watching a middle-aged driver attempt to recapture his stupid youth by driving at speeds that are greater than his ability to think and react - and Top Gear's not on anymore! ;)

works a treat !!!!
Love watching it ;)

Yes, your car is featured for a few seconds until it becomes a dot on the horizon! :)

[BIGBOYZJUNK]

The noise is my fav! :D

[Gilles27]

The noise is my fav! :D
Yes. I have a bluetooth stereo in my car so it doesn't get cluttered with tapes or cds. I was playing music all day from my phone, but my phone can't play music and record video at the same time. I'm glad though as I like to hear the engine noise in the video even more than the Thin Lizzy that was playing before and after!
