Sounds good to me.

Any ideas for some events this year? A good day trip or perhaps even an overnight? Where's the best driving road in the UK?

twybrow - 26/2/09 at 10:05 AM

Nice one chaps. I look forward to meeting you all there...

Not in Warwickshire ...

I came back today from a week away to find the best driving country road between home and work has had its speed limit changed from 60 to 40 mph.

I've seen a whole load of country roads around S Warwickshire getting lower speed limits in the last few weeks.

What's going on?! Was it announced?
Have I missed some news?

Mads,

See you in the bar at around 7:30 then.

I don't expect we'll see many interesting cars at this time of year - we're all too soft.

(Except Colin, who is hard.)

mads - 27/2/09 at 05:38 PM

Cheers Dave. If the weather is alright, I will be coming over on the bike so look for the guy in biker gear (plus biker chick too)

T,
It will be good to see you. Looks like you might even have a choice of exhaust sniffers if you still need one..

MikeR - 2/3/09 at 10:54 AM

but not today. I've been in to work but regretted it. Its early nights for me until I shake this cold. See you next month guys.

mads - 3/3/09 at 04:55 PM

so did anyone make it...?

sorry i couldn't make it. looked outside and was starting to get windy and wet so ended up staying at home and kicking ass on the Wii.

MikeR - 3/3/09 at 06:13 PM

I made it!!!!

And will try doublely hard to make it next month. I'm technically in the garage now having been inspired....

Technically as in not! Its cold, wet and windy out. The house is warm, dry and not windy

prawnabie - 3/3/09 at 07:14 PM

Yeah was quite a good showing, a few of us stopped past Daves bedtime too!

[Edited on 3/3/09 by prawnabie]

Dave Ashurst - 3/3/09 at 07:41 PM

You missed a nice evening, mads.

It was a good night out, great to see everyone. 8 of us there. Excellent company.

Clocks go forward at the end of March and the nights get lighter, so you should see some cars at our next meeting....

Should we go back to our drive - pub - drive summer format from next month (non-alco for drivers, of course) or is that a bit brave, it being the start of April and all?

mads - 3/3/09 at 09:51 PM

Will definitely try to make next month's (just make sure it's not in the first few days of April as away on hol then!). Up for the drive.

anyone thoughts on a route?

[Edited on 4/3/09 by mads]

Dave Ashurst - 3/3/09 at 10:45 PM

mads,
We meet every 1st Monday in the month.
Next = 6th April. hope to see you then.

Colin,
A road trip would be good. dunno about the weather though. http://uk.weather.com/weather/10day-Birmingham-B48

sunset will be at 7:46 on 6 April apparently, so bear in mind it will be dark by 8:30. sunrise/sunset times

Also don't forget our hillclimb driving school is booked on 2 April. We might not have our cars repaired by the 6th, ha ha


Edit: A road trip would be good.
