Are you, your missus and Buttercup going to have a good time??

 

Yes of course you are!

 

Anyone who comes along will have a good time too so no matter if it's just one or ten

Wish I could go, but at Mira tomorrow. The video of the Wrynose pass bought back memories of when i did it years ago in my mk1 escort. You'll love it, must make the effort to do it again

Was a glorious day for being out and about with good company in Westfields yesterday; glad you all enjoyed it too.

 

Just wish I'd remembered the sun tan oil first! Feeling a bit crispy this morning!

Hi Geoff,

Route looks good. I can't make it as I'm on holiday. I for one are very limited to runs out as I have young n's and can't always find the funds for such a long trip out inc meals etc.

I always try to get out when I can, so just as soon as I can fit it in, I'll be there. Don't be discouraged though. I usually get out more on a Sunday which unfortunately doesn't work for you.

 I am happy to write something for the magazine or also for here. not sure how much room is in the magazine.

 

if one of the moderators could let me know that would be great.

Hi Rickyboy.

 

It was a great route and the roads over those passes were amazing. big warning signs saying "Extreme gradiants, turns, and drops" and boy o boy, they were not wrong.

 

Some of the roads disappeared and dropped away under the cars nose and until you dropped again you had no clue weather to go left,  right or straight on.

 

Two cars stalled on the turns and one was on three wheels at times.

 

I am so looking forward to driving in the other direction.

 

We will sort something out to meet again and we can go for do-nuts.  

 

I don't mind a long drive on a Sunday but it means me leaving home at around 2.30am to get to work.

Really - where does it say that??  I reckon Boardroom and Magazine are two separate entities with the Magazine reaching many more people - especially those who like to read when they are sat on the b0g
