    Had a great drive out this morning couple of slight issues with my GPS.  And Macclesfield mcdonalds but otherwise great roads mostly empty. 

    Dry for most of the route with rain at the end through Castleton. Stopped half way for a mini photo shoot to 

    Will probably organise a similar event for September as there is no Tss.

    I'm just dying to get into the groove with my car after spending all that money on the new mods. Should be good. :)

    If you can convince Claire it's worth the money then I might stand a chance of getting my car sorted.

    Fab @Lauren. You might be able to lead some of it then. That way you can have a play and ease off when you're ready for us to join you again. Also Claires a little embarrassed to ask you for a passenger ride to learn from you. 

    @lewisw. No problem pm me your number and I'll keep you posted on our progress. 

    At the moment it looks like the 4 of us so I might add a few more miles in as we may as well make the most.

    Some great ideas and even better reasoning. 

    I modded my mx5 spending a fortune only to break it on a track day.  As such my lovely lady has banned me from spending money on mods for the 86. Saying that I've still managed to aquire brand new coilovers new tyres and better break pads For £0 keeps the blagging skills sharp

    Purely because my organisational ocd is starting to kick in with the drive being a week away.  How many drivers are planning to turn up (do we need more then 1 group of cars if so we might need a second group  leader) and how many stopping for breakfast (so I can let the yonderman know rough numbers) 

    Drive meets at 5am 16th July at rrg Macclesfield. Map details at the bottom of page 1.

    Attendees 

    1) Neal and Claire (maybe in both cars) 

    2) @Lauren+indy? 

    3) @lewisw

    Afternoon all. 

    Sorry it's been quiet on here for a while. 

    Reminder 5am meet on the 16th July. 

    That's two weeks today. 

    Having spoken to a couple of local councils about potential road works and diversions I've amended the route which should now be attached to this post.  I'll see if I can pin it to the top of the page. 

    @Robins. Thanks for the the surgestion of the yonderman for breakfast looks fantastic and by 8am I'm sure everyone will be wanting a full English. 

    Katie one of the Macclesfield tescos managers mentioned they may be shutting the car park gate Saturday nights as they have had some youths loitering so simple change we will meet at rrg. Toyota Macclesfield. Any questions let me know.

    Looking like a slight delay and going for the  second of July. 

    My work rota is being a pig to organise around and as I'm organising the drive I'd kind of like to be there haha. 

    Start my new job on the 3rd July so will be able to organise 1 or 2 meets a month from then on.
