What if we can see if we can get into Darley Moor racetrack for a few shots, im sure there will be racing on therefore be open and during the lunch hour they may be kind enough to let us park on the racetrack for some shots?

Make the call and let us know what they say.

You and your bloody racetrack.

Guys - very sorry, but I can't make it now.

Have a good UK4 and I hope to see you at UK5

Looking forward to some photos, tales of 'spirited driving' and jokes about Viv's sense of direction.

Sorry to hear that NFS. I'm going to be doing some videoing this time round, but I'll try to navigate drivers in the wrong direction!

Thanks Tony.
I won't be putting anyone's face on the video, unless they want me to!

I'm thinking of videoing from inside a few different cars, swapping between them along the way.

We should get some good footage this time round, Matt!

Meet at the Pub then? No probs with you hitching a ride Viv if you want.

Cheers Paul!

Who is coming from the SOUTH and wants to meet to drive in convoy - leaving either from Cobham (Junc 10 of M25) or Ottershaw Services @ Junc 11 of M25 ?

James and I are coming from the BMW dealer in Cobham, at around 9.30am. If there are other southerners who want to meet us there, then great, we'll meet at 9am. If you want to meet at the Ottershaw Services, then great also as James and I can come past the services to 'collect' people.

BUT WE NEED TO KNOW!! Either PM myself or James (SerJames) so we can work out what we're doing.

Cheers!

Tony & James look like they are organising the southern boys...nice work!

Hmmm....

I think I need to make a final decision, as there's far too much f*nnying-about on here for my liking. :mad:

So, I think we should meet at the Green Man Royal Hotel in Ashbourne.
10 St. John St
Ashbourne
Derbyshire
DE6 1GH
01335 345783

Those staying there on the night can dump their stuff & everyone can have some food & drink there.

We can then set-off sometime between 2-2.30pm to wherever you all fancy (Carsington Water, Darley Moor race track, wherever!) for some shots & a drive into the Peak district.

We can take some shots & video in a few different locations & we can all have a good, sociable time with each other, ok!

I'm not even going to bother asking if you are all happy with this, because it's just going to waste time, little of which have have till Saturday.

So, I'll knock up one of my 'Summary sheets', just so you all know the score.

All the very best.

Sorry to hear that NFS - we'll make sure we don't listen to Viv's directions!

Thanks for updating us though.

vivekk · 09-19-2007, 06:25 PM

Just in case anyone needs to ask...

Viv

mjh93sa · 09-19-2007, 06:26 PM

Hmmmm, maybe you can arrange to drag some of the Bennetts girls from Donnington up to the meet then Viv!

Matt, I've told Paul he needs to make the girls feel sorry for him- crutches or not!

This is just the way the world works.....

We're travelling up to Derbyshire on Friday night and staying in Middle Mayfield.

I'm committed to going to Alton towers

, so I won't be able to meet you at 12pm on Sat as I'll be probably

my guts up while doing a quad loop or something. However I'll probably drop by later on Sat. if you are still there.

Looking forward to meeting some of you.

Regards

Simon

P.S. I'm the Black Saph. E90, Blacklines, Blackout grill, VX55 ???

There's a coffee shop and restaurant at Carsington and LOADS of parking (pay and display).

I was actually going to suggest it but thought that moving the meeting point even further north would upset the shandy drinkers!?

Forgot to add, there are even swings and a roundabout at Carsington for Carlostandfound to play on!

You're not the only ones from the south, just the only ones that far east!

Serjames · 09-20-2007, 03:47 AM

Hey guys...

Picking the BM up this afternoon, unprepped so it will look like shite sorry - no pics !

I made them so paranoid about my phobia for black car cleaning they decided it wasn't worth the hassle, the darlings.

So Tony, you and me probably need to have a chat about what where and when we meet up on Saturday morning. Now we know it's just us and the crotchless womble, I'd be happy to cruise up to the Hilton (you posho) and join up for the 'Mini Meet' in wimbledon.

Then we all drive back up together. Suggest back via the 316 -m3 then onwards and northwards !

Simonbenn, do you have Viv's contact details, only we may well be harrassing sheep by the time you ca make it out of commercialand - and back to Ashbourne ? Would be cool to meet up.

simonbenn · 09-20-2007, 03:57 AM

No I don't have contact details. Mind you I have no idea what our plans are anyway. I'll find out tonight and try and sort something out, then post.

The more the merrier right?

You know what would be VERY handy is someone with a copy of Pro NAV 2007-2 + speedcams that actually works. I just can't seem to get a disc to work! Any chance of collecting one.? I'll pay in beer or blank DVD+RWs
