Title: Week Before Christmas Daytime Meet?
Post by: Grin-a-lot on 14, December, 2010, 10:02:30 AM
Anyone free next week sometime that would fancy meeting for a pub lunch/drive etc?  I've not got any specific plans but thought we might be able to make the most of a nice Winter's day with a bit of a drive and a bite to eat.

Back before the sun goes down.

I dont think there will be too many wanting to take their cars out, especially with the snow forecast and road salt about. There are also people who dont bother taxing their cars over the winter.

Dont want to put a dampner on a meet though ;D

You might have a point there; perhaps I havent entirely thought it through!

My Viper is in London, not taxed.

Dax in the garage, not taxed.  Plus if it was, I wouldn't take it out in the salt, eats alloy wheels as I found out last year.

Hope you're lucky.

Sorry I can't make it as the Hood is not finished and probably won't be until about February. Cold weather is preventing me working on it in the evenings.

Get the feeling the weather might scupper us for this weekend.  I was out in the Spire this afternoon - glorious but a bit nippy.  Hat and gloves a must - got colder washing all the salt off the alloys and ally bits.

I braved the weather to do a bit of flooring in Trowbridge......big mistake!!

Took me an hour to get to the job..... the builder's merchant there shut early 'cause of the snow......did a couple of hours work till I run out of wood then an' hour and a half to get home!!

Should have stayed in bed like Phil!! ::)
