[David1975]

Sorry about the short notice and all but Ever88 and myself are going for a blast out tomorrow morning starting in Richmond (N.Yorks) maybe about 10.30 ish. No idea of route as I dont know the area too well.

Any locals out there fancying joining us are more than welcome.

Petecossie, Daviddunn or Markolambo(maybe a bit far from you but more than welcome)

If you PM Ever88 if your interested he will advise you on adcent place to meet up.

Petecossie, if you want to join us you could meet me at/near mine and we could have a drive over to Pauls in Richmond together.

I've often wondered what it's like in the original Richmond. I imagine a quaint little town with 3 good pubs and an old coaching inn, good fish and chip shop and a lovely church.
Close?

[David1975]

have not been for years but as far as i can remember, not too far off.

:-( Too Short notice but need to be in Stafford as my team are upgrading Stafford Hospital patient managment systems. If you are Richmond way go to Masham and have a pint in the White Bear, foods great as well.

I took my Coupe across the hills up to High force last week end and had a stonking time, I have only had it a week and have clocked up 1000 miles.
I have seen a yellow one in Newcastle 3 weeks ago coming out of Newburn Business park, not sure if ihe is a member.


I am interested in future runs though keep me posted and a little more notice would be great.

very quiet last of the summer wine type market town surrounded by hills and waterfalls.

can turn into the wild wild west on friday saturday night as all the country bumkins come in for a belly full of beer.

Sorry lads can't make it, just back in sunny Angola. I'll keep eye on how your day went, also any future meet up with Daviddunn, Markolambo and yourselves.

You should just have set off as I'm typing this e-mail, have a good day out.

The Top Gear high speed run video clip with the Bugatti Veyron driven by James May has started doing the rounds here this morning to rave reviews.

Sorry, to late for me too but I'd be interested in any future blasts up north. Markolambo, that was me coming out of Newburn Business Park, I work down there, a fantastic quiet road if you start early!

Keep me posted on any future ideas

Great Pictutre Paul,

Glad you didnt include the one with the "bald wig". ;)

Roads were fantastic up there. A little hairy on some of the humpback bridges but I was glad Paul know the roads well as i could just follow him. It was nice following another MC. Its amazing how may people turn and point when Paul first went past. You do not notice as much when your on your own.

Paul: Hope you got your golf home? I tried phoning you yesterday but I guess you were were out for your sunday dinner.


Day ended with a bit of a nightmare. After leaving Paul I got a flatty and with my inflation kit out of date :oops: I had to ring Paul who very kindly came out with his trolley jack and I was able to take my wheel off. (Rear :evil: ) and trawl a few tyre places at 4.00 on a saturday evening. Only tyre I could find was a uniroyal and quickfit wanted £145 for it. Managed to get it for £120 but still was gutted. Paul must have been cursing me as on the way back to my car his MK1 Golf decided to pack in. So he had to phone his wife who came out the coupe to rescue us.

THANK YOU PAUL AND SARAH. :oops:

Cheers

David

PS. Sorry guys for the short notice. It was a bit of a last minute thing. Will give more notice next time.

Looks like you had a good run out. I went on a run with the ZRoadster forum around Harrogate/Settle area, let me know when you're planning another and I'll try and make it over that bit further over that way.

Quite like the look of the front end on the black one! (black grills)

Thanks C_W. I bought them off Ben @ Chromeline a few weeks ago. Was not sure at first but now I'm used to it i think it looks pretty good. I think it looks a little more agressive.

Would love to see you at our next run out. Definately will give more notice next time.

Cheers
