Oh erm, I must already have used the sling shot. Only averaged 34mpg on the trip home. I’m assuming you got back without incident, in your fab Fabia.

Love Rob’s Smart car too

ric04vrs · 15-12-2006, 01:43

averaged 57.5 on the way home , not as good as going though , had 65mpg , done 190miles on trip and still showing 545miles range in tank ,its the best thing about the car

Surely a brick would be better under the right pedal

Well I was thinking of my shoes and boots, but yes you could be right.

I really wanted to go, but I have been waiting for a refund for a race I did not do in September and I was ment to get it this week. Was going to fill my tank up so I could do something this week and go there.

Don’t worry there is another meet next month on the second Thursday I think.

Yeah, sorry for holding you guys up on the road down to the motorway, have made it swap ends too many times for me to push it too hard down wet country lanes...

Rob.

Rob.

And the last thing you need is to follow an idiot through the bends

Nice to meet you all again and thanks to Caz

Should we be thinking about a change of venue?

I think that may be in order

As long as there are no dodgy singers and expensive grub

Lady Elanore · 15-12-2006, 11:34

Much nicer surrounds last night, just a shame about the wedding singer

It was shut to us plebs due to a private function....

PussCat · 15-12-2006, 23:57

maybe if folks like the Swan at Winwick when we go there next Thurs..... we could think about using that as a regular meeting place, if folk want a change from the Turnpike?

Depends whether the Yorkshire bunch have got passports or not.
The Malt Shovel might have been OK if PostpanPat and Mr G had been any good at lighting fires!
