Mid-week meet - Lake district

[Poodle]

306 fail, will probably be in the beemer. Still, not a bad car, although it's also been in bits, so may not start... Final option is a mk6 fiesta... *shudder*

[D@wson]

Car park just south of here is easy to get to and the main road would be gritted.

[mark_airey]

boo, thats cheating, half the fun is actually getting there

And should a tow rope water and oil not be standard in any 306 owners boot?

oh and I did wash it on sat but since going to work and back today the whole front is covered in salt and the boot in a mix of salt and soot............standard for winter! It'll be filthy again by Thursday

[Jonny81191]

meh, just thought it would be worth the option incase the pass is closed!

Yeah the roads are properly filthy at the moment, I'll clean mine on weds.

No I agree, there was snow up there on sat and I doubt it will have gone far in the last two days!

I won't be doing mine again, i cleaned off the 3 months of crap on sat so it could be worse :dance:

[masterj555]

I tow any one who gets stuck in the snow. Winter Tyers FTW!!

[Jonny81191]

Well mine's now stuck in the garage, but it WILL be ready for Thursday!

Only dropped it in for tracking, the guy spent 2 hours trying to shift it, so he's going to fit new TRE's tomorrow :roll:

[THE_Liam]

Looks like I'm bringing Kyle as well
