2008: Runs, Meets and regular activities

[riwiho]

Joined a while ago and only met a couple of people from PH.

I have now sorted out a motor and am currently waiting for the good weather to return so I can go out for some blasts and meet up with the PH-NW members.

What/where are the PH NW regular meets over the summer months? Any frequent currys/beers take place, most commonly used roads for blasts?

I am located nr Knutsford in Cheshire but originally from Bentham which is a small North Yorkshire village about 3 miles from Ingleton which intern is about 12 miles from Hawes and some of the best driving roads in England (IMHO).

Look forward 2008 and Happy New Year to all.

Watch this space for runs around the Peak District, there is a 'monthly' run/westfield tyrekicking coz it's damp at Rainsford and another regular meet in Yorshire at the Globe in Huddersfield.
Have you considered the local Lotus owners group? The TVR monthly gathering at Little Bollington is very friendly and doesn't mind 'outsiders' crashing their jolly. Expect beards/mighty tales of sideways and project bores with chassis no1 that they are building from a lollypop stick and some sticky backed plastic

The romper seemed to have died a death...maybe that needs to be reignited!!

Yep, I am all registered and chatting away with the NW Lotus club so will no doubt go along to a couple of meets with those chaps this year. I just wanted to find out what happens with the PH-NW

I'm up that way if you're ever near the Three Peaks.

Yeah, I head up that way every couple of months so next time I am up that way a good old blast around Ingleton, Settle, Horton etc could be a good run

That sounds like a challenge Lois........but are you up for it?
Get one organised!!

[Lois22]

Guess we should wait for the weather to improve a bit, I know what your driving's like

Once I get my shifts organised and get on top of my dissertation I'll get planning

[Swanboy]

Excellent, about time i got to test the new motor through the tunnels

How dare you..........

Anyway, Chim long gone, (Purple???) 3 series long gone, now in a sensible 5 series diesel so won't be scaring anyone! If the weather's nice might use Lisa's A4 conv though, nice 3 litre V6

[Lois22]

Sounds good! Hopefully we can get a good few of us there, I'll plan in advance!

Best get cracking with my work then...

It was actually a 330 clubsport in Estoril Blue which for some reason Lois thought looked purple. I think it was those dodgy lights in the underground car parks at the Traffic Centre. Either that or she's been working too hard....................................................It'll be the lights then

My Dad has an Alpina 330 conv in Estoril Blue, doesn't look even remotely purple...
