Rovertech 2.0

Ok, Changing the proposed date of the meet in an effort to get more notice and more people coming along!

The corrected date is now Sunday 6th April.

The route is as of yet undecided, but once Stef and I get a chance to discuss various options, we should get something down, or several variations, so we can allow for how far people want to go.
The barebones structure of the route as of this moment (24th March) is Start in the White Horse Car Park in Uffington, and from there roll out after a while through Wantage, and a couple of other villages - (and maybe some more roads including a short stretch of motorway to let us stretch our collective legs, depending on how far people are willing to go) - through to Abingdon, to a decent pub, the choice of which I shall leave to someone more local!

Chalked in for the previous date I had;
Din,
Stefaclese,
Yours Truly,
Rich_1988,
Juliangungho?
t666top?
absvicandmark?

Well I should have a bit of cash either way by then, with all the time off I'll have I might even have gotten round to fitting some of the upgrades I've accumulated for the car

this meet looks like it might actually have a fair few people , maybe closer to the time we should book a table? dependng on how many people come, seems like it could be a few

Ah, but are you in Blue or Red, Scott?
Plus - got a route pinned down yet, Stef?

Scott has no question mark next to his name so i would guess he is in

oops look like I wont be going on this anymore, reason, I have crashed my car im ok, but the car isnt noone else was involved, (well they were but I managed not to hit them)

red or blue?! car is white, what you talking about?

NNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

What did you do man ????

Btw i cursed myself...... i have just diagnosed mine with sticky valves... doh.
That will teach me to do a head job and not remove the valves

Scott wrote:red or blue?! car is white, what you talking about?

writing, is what I meant. Blue for confirmed, red for possibility.

Just posted this up on one of the Coupe forums I'm on to try and get a few more peeps along, will come up with a good route over the weekend when I'm not feeling so lazy.

Be lazy, by all means, just get a route done first. Then you can stock up a surplus of laziness...

So what happend to Rich ???

I'll let him explain when I bring him along for the drive as my passenger. He's not missing it, I won't allow it. Even carless, he's not missing it.

good to here he is ok though even if the car is fubar

well what happened wassss, there was this horse in this barn and then there was this fire... nah I went down a hill too fast (was only 35mph but apparentyl in the wet it was too fast) back end came out, tried to compensate, overdid it ended up on teh otherside of the road with an oncoming audi A4, was sure as hell not going to hit it and mess my insurance up so turned the other way mounting the verge sliding through about 10 metres of barbed wire fencing and posts then hit a double post affair, signed 30mph (entering) and ironically, (which my brother found most amusing) entering xxxx please drive carefully. pics to follow.


p.s ill probably go with someone else, since i own a vitesse it would be nice to be in something different!, ohhh my poor broken car.

How on earth will you fix that ?

I do feel for you mate but would it not be easyer and cheaper to strip it and flog the bits and simply buy anotherone ?

well yea it would be but I never take the easy option, (actually thats not true) but anyway im going to try and pull the frame out using aonethr car and a piece of rope, then remove what dents I can, it still drives perfectly so If I can get the frame straightened again and the doors looking not so stoved in I can use it again for a while, the chassis doesnt look 'too' bad and it has 11 months mot and 6 months tax so I may as well give it a go, cant do any harm anyway!.

Only thing is, it's only been looked after by two families, Rich, Andy and his best friends Dad. Shame, but nevermind, really.

No idea whats its like but this is cheap
