peaks hoon - Sunday 8th june

[identity_crisis]

so long as the weathers not shocking ill be having another blast out if anyone fancys it?

usual sort of route through the peaks.

starting at the winking man pub inbetween leek and buxton at 4:30 for a 5pm depart.

couple of rules

1. no stupid overtaking moves. if you think your holding someone up signal to let them pass at a convient place.

2. to save people getting lost if you are about to turn off somewhere make sure there is someone in the convoy behind you (unless you are at the back) this way no one should miss there turn off and it takes the pressure off people not knowing where they are going.

couple of vids from the last run (thanks andy)

I'll come, weather permitting. Might even have had my tracking done by then.. I can try the cam on top of the rollbar, instead of underneath and see if that gives a better view. It might just get covered with flies tho..

Have you done anything with your brakes yet?

Andy..

[identity_crisis]

had some decent pads, braided lines and some fresh 5.1 dot brake fluid done. still bedding them in at the mo but seem to be having trouble with the rears as they are only wearing on the outside of the disc and squeal a bit. if you look at the rear disc you can see where its not making contact and the outside edge is going bluey (brand new rear discs) as if there getting hot.

going to take it back to the garage tomorrow.

ill update the list.

will be good to catch up jaik

[jaik]

Likewise Alex, it's been far too long!

Dam, I'm away that weekend. Let me know when there's another one planned. I pick up an Elise S2 this weekend, so if I can convince my girl friend to turn up to a future peaks hoon we'd be able to add an Elise and a scooby to the convoy.

Have a good time, I'm going to be out for a play in my new toy this weekend

[rufusruffcutt]

Just a quick heads up for you guys, that weekend is the Rally Show at Chatsworth house, so you may want to attend or steer clear because of the extra traffic on the roads.

Have fun either way!

[identity_crisis]

bloody hell, glad you told me that as part of the route goes through chatsworth.

will have to figure out a reroute.

might go out for a blast sunday and try and find some more nice roads. anyone fancy it?

I might be up for a drive round on sunday, where were you thinking of going?

[Andy_742]

I'd love to come out sunday but its the monaco gp, and that one i can't miss... I wish you'd stop picking gp weekends! The 8th is the canadian too!

[identity_crisis]

i have every other weekend off so always will fall on the gp im afraid.

trying organise meeting with a mate in buxton at the min but not sure what time. anyones more than welcome to tag along.

could certainly do with a hand getting the right roads.

[Andy_742]

if it was any gp other than monaco i would come out anyway, the rest i'm not that bothered about now shueys gone. unfortunatly it's right in the middle of the day as well, 12 till 3.30 and i'm at least an hour from you. will deffo be out on the 8th tho.

[identity_crisis]

not a problem mate, we are meeting in buxton this time though which is abit closer to you, still unsure of a time.

[Andy_742]

could come straight out after race in seicento but would still be at least 4.30ish before i got to buxton. and my cento is slow! if your still out then though i'll come and meet you somewhere.

[identity_crisis]

meeting in buxton at the main carpark in the centre where all the pubs are at 3 if anyone wants to tag along.

[identity_crisis]

went for the run last sunday and been thinking about a couple of changes.

first one is the time. would anyone have any objections to doing a late run, say meet at 4:30 and leave at 5 for the run. reason is all day sunday i was stuck in traffic and it was crap until i was heading back home at about 6 and there was no traffic on the roads at all.

second thing was the meeting place, if we start later it might be better to be closer to the best roads and work around there totally avoiding chatsworth all together. was thinking of meeting at the winking man pub inbetween leek and buxton like we have done before.

any thoughts?

[Andy_742]

are you sure it's not cause you've noticed the gp starts at 5? i don't actually mind, just say where and when and i'll b there. You've even shamed me into buying some new bonnet locks for my car since you have done so much to your brakes. i might even have put them on by then... the only real problem i see with going later is i really will have to sort my headlights out! by the way, are you new brakes better?
