Just to let you know that if the " a longer drive will take in some of the finest roads in the Peak District " was going to include the A57 snake pass then you might be in trouble -

A57 [Snake Pass] closed affecting all driving lanes
- Sheffield Road closed both ways between the Shirebrook Drive junction and the A6013 junction in Glossop, because of a landslip.

BBC - Travel News - UK National Roads

just seen this on the north west news , just confirming that the snake pass will be closed for at least a week

Same here! Must be the weather

Tom_vRS · 25-01-2008, 12:36

Bummer...

Surely the whole of the pass isn't closed?? Take it this means the route will need drastically altering...

philje123 · 25-01-2008, 13:10

That would be shame... but im sure we'll find another route that will be just as good.

May just be a section of the road closed that we can divert around...

Loz · 25-01-2008, 14:54

I'm excited now! I want my steak

My car will be dirty by the way. I wont have time to wash it tonight I don't think

philje123 · 25-01-2008, 15:22

That's in-excusable Loz!!! hehe

Will be giving mine a jet wash at work and that's it!

I too am excited! One more sleep to go! wooooop!!

Loz · 25-01-2008, 15:31

I don't jet wash my car though. It takes me hours and my back aches and I get all cold and wet and stuff

it will also be dark so I'd have to have to spotlight on outside and it only shines on one side of the car. It's just generally annoying tbh

jaymd · 25-01-2008, 15:32

Loz is not the only one who won't be washing their car.

vRSLen · 25-01-2008, 15:34

No point washing it before as it WILL get filthy

Wardy · 25-01-2008, 15:37

Just cleaned mine this lunchtime

Steve

FOZ1 · 25-01-2008, 16:19

Cleaned mine on Tuesday, not looking so clean now

Have had to swap shifts round to allow me to work o/t tonight so I can finish at 02.00 & get some sleep

.
See you all tomorrow

yashicamat · 25-01-2008, 16:20

The Snake Pass isn't part of this meet's driving route so there's no need to panic.

robb06210 · 25-01-2008, 18:22

I'm not going to have time to clean mine either... plus it's dark and cold out there

See you all tomorrow

furelise · 25-01-2008, 18:25

I'm now hoping that I will be able to make it to at least the C&F part of the meet.

Clean on Wednesday - but getting grubby already alas (and they put salt on the roads up here in Cheshiire last night - making it worse .......

BTW: don't forget the earlier warning in the thread abou the police aerial reconnaissance up here - they do pull !

But i have cow **** on mine!!!!

philje123 · 25-01-2008, 18:37

I thought of something we can do too... all make a note of how much fuel they used driving to/from and during the meet and we could work out our combined fuel consumption! hehe

Just jet washed mine off in the bus wash! lol

Reece_1 · 25-01-2008, 18:42

Not able to make it - maybe someother time

I put the car through a carwash earlier, but I did fit my spacers last night, and gave it a full interior detail not too long ago, so I hope its not too shabby!
