Ah, that's a little too far away for me to attend - shame

Thanks for organising, I'm sure you'll get some takers on here.

Thanks for the positive feedback. They are always a great day, and hoping this one will be that little more interesting as it's the first multi club one I have done. Just need some attendees from mOre than just the Renault lot!

I'd love to do this, but the car's still on axle stands. I'd really struggle to make the 5th Feb. Maybe another time?

Think I should run my zed again made good power last time and have fixed a misfire since then.

@pingu I will probably organise another later in the year, probably september time.

Liam & Barry
How about the Fishing Lodge at Grafham Water, turn right on A1 at the roundabout at Buckden for Grafham Water.

We could meet in the Car Park at the Harbour View Restaurant at West Perry, just opposite the B661 turning for Kimbolton at 8.15am

PM for you, Barry

i see the list has gone down to nine running on the day.. does this mean the price goes upto £45? as it states min of 10 cars for the £35 rate

I would love to come but its a bit difficult driving the Z without a steering wheel...

Will still be £35. I know there are a couple more cars (M3s) coming and running that aren't on the list.

Qué!!!!? Macca

I sent my steering wheel off to Royal Steering Wheels 3 weeks ago for recovering and it still isn't done. I was promised delivery today and was let down. Now delivery isn't until the 7th. I'm not a happy bunny,

Oh no, Macca, Let's hope you get it back in time for 19th. I've got an old Landrover wheel you can have if not

What's happening if snows really bad?? Talks of it tonight

If its bad I wont be able to make it..

WEATHER UPDATE

All looks good at the moment with no snow down at TDF, Matt is going to let me know if this changes and I'll update the thread if things change.

UPDATE

Just spoken to Matt and can confirm tomorrow's rolling road day is now CANCELLED due to the weather conditions. They have approximately over 2inches of snow there and still falling heavy.

On a side note be careful if you are having to venture out, some major roads including the M42 have not been gritted!

It as been snowing here since 6pm and is drifting quite badly now, if it keeps up like this, we won't even be able to get up and out of our drive, never mind to Kimbolton.

Yeah it's about 3inches here too

Z3cade wrote:Yeah it's about 3inches here too

We think it is more than 3", seems more like 6" now, Liam, here are some pics from a journey to pick our daughter up from her work in Ely at 11.30pm. This is usually a 15 min journey, which even using the Landrover, became over an hours adventure each way. We passed several strickened vehicles including a Mazda MX5 trying to get up the hill. Some of the drifts on the road were at least 18" in places, more like North Yorkshire than the Fens.

Hope Caroline got home Ok and Mark reached Wales in his Rover snowplough

After seeing the MX5 struggling earlier, we are glad that The Rolling Road at Tour de Force has been cancelled today, disappointing though as we were looking forward to it. Hopefully another time.

This one is from our Patio

Yes Caroline got home at around 10.30pm after driving 70 miles in the thick of it all!!

Is the rolling road day being re booked for another time?

bugger i was looking forward to seeing the results of that

Hope so, Liam, Mike was thinking that it would bring forth miracles!!!!

Just to confirm this will be er-arranged, just waiting on better weather to ensure this doesnt happen again!

Hiya, when you do re-arrange it, please start a new thread or change the name of the thread. It means we can see, at a glance, that things have changed.

Many thanks.
