North East Hoonage

[OlberJ]

Okey doke folks, there seems to be some interest in this from a few folk on here and also in my Mr2 club so i think we'll get the ball rolling and see what we can arrange.

The last one we had was a great success and we took in some rather tasty roads, a quality pub lunch and indulged in banter a plenty.

1st up, date.

What suits folks best? I'm thinking start/mid July to give us all time to get organised and make it happen. How about Sunday 12th July?

Route.

Will take plenty of suggestions and the final route will be posted out by email to keep things proper.

Cars.

Anyone can attend as long as they're not a cock and don't drive like one.


For anyone who's not been on one of these runs before, it's a nice leisurely drive out with like minded people who congrogate somewhere for lunch and then drive back home. No road racing or prizes for getting anywhere 1st. And DEFINITELY no prizes for binning it.


So stick your name down if you fancy coming along and we'll get this party started.

Think I'll have to give this a miss, looking like the Cooper S needs a new engine

I could rock the 525i again though (oh yes, it lives following it's write-off!)...

[OlberJ]

Aw man, what happened?

MINI - It might've ran on not a lot of oil due to a false reading on the dipstick...

BMW - Got driven into the back of. Has a fly-ass wing on the back now though.

Possibly interested, if a 17 year old with a 1.2 clio is invited

[OlberJ]

That all depends.

Are you, and do you drive like, a cock?

a) Yes

b) No


Get your answer to me on a postcard, or the next post in the thread will do, and we shall make a judgement.

[timlongs]

According to top gear, I don't drive an Audi and therefore I'm not a cock.

And no I don't think I drive like a cock...

[OlberJ]

Good man. You passed the test.

Don't worry about keeping up or trying to outdrive anyone (even if you can, there is no point) it's a liesurely drive and speed limits will not be broken.

I'll add your name to the list.

And now I need to get the time off work!

[Gad-Westy]

Would fancy this. No idea if I'm free that weekend yet. But will keep fingers crossed.

Good call

Too far ahead to see if I've anything on that day, but if I'm free, count me in please OlberJ

If we are free me and Shar will join in.

[pbirkett]

Count me in, if you need any help organising let me know

[OlberJ]

Nice one folks, this should make a nice wee drive out indeed.

Paul, i'll defo take some help from you. All of you infact, let's get some road suggestions in.

Suggest a whole route or just one road, we'll be starting off from about 6 miles south of Durham methinks

Hmm, where I live has some nice roads over the hills but is a bit of a trek from Durham.

[OlberJ]

Well the last one we left from Newcastle, got most of the way to Carlisle and then came back along the A68.

So when i say NE, it's more just N.

[clarkmagpie]

Newcastle - Alston - Hartside Cafe and back?
Fantastic road
