Anyone out on sunday in my area? Could meet up with the peterborough lot if they are about?

Could be a bit of fun.

eccsmk - 22/5/09 at 07:38 PM

i might tag along if im here.
(im on call )


matt.c - 22/5/09 at 07:48 PM

Does anyone know of a place to meet then? Need to avoid the A47 if possible as i hate that road!


flak monkey - 22/5/09 at 10:59 PM

How about meeting at the Guyhurn services, down the A141 to chatteris, A142 to Ely, up the A10 to Littleport, A1101 through welney to Outwell then back to Downham (just cos the road is fun ) then we can all go our seperate ways...

One big loop(ish) with some decent roads.

matt.c - 22/5/09 at 11:20 PM

sounds good flak.

Even if the peterborough lot dont want to do the route then we could all just meet up at Guyhurn services for a chat?


Paradoxia0 - 22/5/09 at 11:24 PM

Roughly how far is that? (so I can work out how many tanks of fuel I'll need if I can make it :-))

Mark


flak monkey - 23/5/09 at 06:32 AM

All in all from Guyhurn to Downham is about 50miles.

So not very far really

David

Sorry, think we posted at the same time.
If you guys want to go out earlier i'm ok with that. I'm ok going at any time.
I have asked melly-g if he is interested in coming as he is local. Not had a reply yet, thats why I suggested meeting at the services.


matt.c - 23/5/09 at 12:02 PM

11.30 @ guyhern is fine with me.

I need to get some go go juice at the A10 station so i can meet snap-off there.


Kev99 - 23/5/09 at 12:06 PM

see you all at 11.30 then

Kev....

Very nice car you have!
You must have put a lot of thought, time and money into it.
Especially liked the finishing touches like the powder coated floor, rear view mirror, colour coded interior/rear seats etc.
Puts mine to shame.
