I've got to survey some sh*thole flats in Birmingham on Tuesday afternoon so I'm not quite sure what time I'll be home but I'm
hoping to make one of them!

Who knows the roads best over the trough and wants to lead?
I guess meet up at the Marriott hotel off the M55 Preston/Garstang roundabout on the A6
P.S. I only typed numbers 1 to 9 for people to fill in who coming but it's not limited to 9 and anyone is welcome. 
Chris.

Thanks Ady

Sorry guys but I'm going to have to bail on this one.
My car is a bit poorly at the mo, I think the lambda sensor is goosed and the result is that she's running very lean 
Bit of a bugger as it's looking like it should be a great evening weather wise.
On a side note, anyone have any dealings with The Speed Factory in Chorley, good or bad?

I should be carrying a passenger, Phil, normally has a roadster with a 3litre Alfa V6 but undergoing engine works at the moment.
Keeping fingers crossed weather stays dry and work does not intrude.

Well it's an 85 mile round trip for me over some very nice roads
Plus the chance to meet some old friends, and maybe some new ones.
Then kick some tyres, sniff some petrol, and maybe try a pint.
Maybe I'm getting old, but it souinds like a good night to me

Been out for a curry and just got back to 7,000,000 posts. I think this thing keeps me logged in full time. I'm hoping to be able to put a
google maps route into my sat nav to be able to follow it live. At the risk of being found out by the rozzers as I cant explain it here is a link of
what I'm trying to do
ROUTE
If we leave the hotel at 6.30 we should make settle for 7.30pm.
HOWEVER.. I've been out to Southport in Sylvia and for a curry and she wasn't happy and kept missing and even cut out a couple of times at
lights with trouble restarting so tomorrow I need to look at her and find the problem otherwise she won't make it to the local chippy never mind
settle .
So Joe, I may see you tomorrow or Tom, you can come and fiddle around with me hahah to rectify things and make me happy again
Chris.

Just posted a route only to find you've beaten me to it by 3 minutes, Chris - however, your route doesn't do the actual Trough
road....having said that, your car doesn't sound like she wants to go anyway...or has Joe or Tom sabotaged it - they did declare WAR the other
day, AND they both have very war-mongering avatars.....
