C'mon AONW

New Years here and it's time we had a meet

I'm proposing the Whipping Stocks as usual

Map for those that haven't been to one before

It's on the A50 between Knutsford and Holmes Chapel

Wed 16th 7:00pm bit of scoff and a chat

As usual we can be a bit flexible but it will be that week

I'd like you to bring your thinking caps as well beacause I'll be asking you what you want from the Club this year

I've got at least four events planned but I'd like do do more so think about places events or any fun stuff you'd like to do this year
RSVP'd Yes: 5

Not when you take advantage of the extra light and really attack them

Re: Time we had a meet

i have a thing for things that light up nicely in the night. like houses on fire.



nice meet again, good to see you chaps again and glad you came (new) scott, tony promised not to fart TOO much so hopefully we haven't put you off coming to more

nice run home, zero traffic and took it easy round a nice empty M60 with some gems on the ipod. good job i was taking it easy though, the dibble were out - a marked volvo v70 went whooshing past at what must've been a good 120mph, maybe 130, closely followed (VERY closely followed) by a black unmarked audi a3 5-door. don't know what they were doing as no blues & twos, probably doing high speed training or something. either way it's another unmarked car filed in the "keep an eye out for that one" drawer in me brain

Re: Time we had a meet

seeing my car in daylight this morning i realised 2 things -

1. it's bloody filthy after the run round the lanes last night
2. the pothole i smacked into has put a nice big dent in my nearside front wheel

1. So's mine, but I think that's a good little route, so it's worth making your car look like Ari Vatanen's been for a spin in it

2. Aww rubbish...... don't say you'll have to get a nice set of 18's now, what a damn nuisance

HM, You were booting it at times, I was struggling to keep up. MInd you I normally won't go over the legal limit, nudge nudge.
I was a bit wary of those Volvos who were keeping up. I understand the county has unmarked Swedish cars so I keept back a bit.
Good blast though.
