Dommo Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Only went a short way across town this morning to help my brother fix my land rover (yup, read that right). Somehow with it being cold and drives few and far between, it feels different. More special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7sRWild Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Checking in Norm, back without mishaps, snow some hail and hung the rear end out a couple of times....altogether a great blat, bl**dy cold tho.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Good, sounds good. One of the things I miss about living in this pat of France is the lack of hills/mountains. My best blats were over the Snake Pass between Sheffield and Manchester over the Christmas holidays when the roads were empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7sRWild Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 I remember those days.The snake was one of my favorite runs also. The run today was out on Williams Coulee road,a combination of hard topand gravel, goes right thru raw ranching country, no other vehicles at all. Leads out to Chain lakes then back on the 533 highway to Nanton,a good fast winding road, nowhere near the road that the snake was but it will do.

Captain Colonial Posted October 20, 2012 Author Share Posted October 20, 2012 Done a search and the term "Blaturday" has never been used on the boards before, therefore I claim copyright on it for the next fifty years. Let it be so recorded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Podmore Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Went for a short drive out this afternoon for the first time in ages. Was great. Then met a new owner from Huddlesford when I was filling up with petrol after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciprian Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 went out this morning for a wee run, my last run in the Westfield, for now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidgh Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Had a wonderful Blaturday . . . . . last sprint of the year (at Lydden Hill). Weather was dry but the circuit was wet, and there was no wind -- which led to "interesting", but slowly improving, conditions. Fabulous hoon. There were Caterhams and Strikers, but not one single Westy in sight -- guess our southerners are indeed (as so often opined by Yorkshire area) "soft".

Matta Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Lovely day up here, so went for a blat with my daughter up past Knockhill and toured around Fife for a while. First time I've been out for 4 weeks and only to test my freshly rebuilt diff (of course ). I never realised how noisy the bearings used to be until now! Roll on more days like this over the winter, as I've finished all of my winter fettling jobs already! Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
