We’re off!

Pob luck

 

[varesecrazy]

I will be flying below 100 feet, just to keep off the radar !!

I'm at 700' already

 

[portland_bill]

I think Birdlip may be more than 100', plan on staying with the road, rather than any tunnelling.
Just leaving, later than advertised.

Shall be down shortly, just looking for my hat or a hooded top or something lol. It was so nice the weather here yesterday ?*?

Thanks Charlie I would drive to the top of Scotland for a good fry up but it has to be in the right car. The 126 is off the road with an ignition fault and as much as I love my bravo it's too dull to drive for 2 and a half hours. I dont drive the punto much so wanted to use tomorrows meet as a shake down.

I wouldn't drive a ford to my local shop if I could get away with it

Gutted mate, if it makes you feel any better we did lots to Frazer's car yday and then discovered the leak is the radiator and we couldn't get one so it's not fixed yet, and he needs to get back to Huddersfield still today lol.

Blimey that is bad I snapped my bleed screw off at work but managed to plug the hole with some plumbers putty that someone at work had. Tbf it got me home drip free but wasnt confident about a 4 hour round trip to the Welsh borders lol

Moving on to cafe
See you there

 

[Zeewulf]

Was good to see everyone again and meet a few new people as well. Plus the breakfast at the Steel Horse Cafe was great

 

[varesecrazy]

Not the driest of days.. but we did ok

Some new faces..more new cars

I also thought the cafe was very good

Good parking too

Will return again in better weather!!

I was home in 30 mins

Had fun morning, good little cafe that actually. Fry-up wasn't greasy and very tasty. The bacon pancakes Owen had looked delicious as well. Can't help feeling a fry-up at that price should include a tea or coffee rather than it being extra but other than that zero complaints on the cafe.

Who was the chap with the tjet panda? I forgot to ask his name, he was giving me lots of naughty ideas for our panda [emoji23][emoji23]

Noone went to clearwell in end but I went had cake anyway lol

 

[Eklipze3k]

I just got back to Yorkshire 30 mins ago, but was totally worth the trip, I should've brought the Alfa instead of hitching a ride in the Suzuki but we were worried it would pee coolant everywhere.
As it happened, he behaved the whole way home and only just went below the Min mark

[blu73]
