Anybody fancy a cruise on Sat 9 May?

Post by spokey »

Nothing dramatic, just a little bimble, bit of fresh air and banter!

Dawn raid from the local Shell to the OK Diner, and then a short post-brekky cruise wrapping up in the early afternoon. 8-)

I'm a definite :D

I'll meet you at the OK Diner for part 2 of the cruise :thumb:

If anyone else from the Derby / Nottingham area is interested in this cruise, I have a fantastic route to the OK Diner. I'll be setting off from the A38/A50 services at around 8:00am to meet up with Spokey and the rest of the cruise for breakfast 8-) Any takers?

Go on, you know you want to.... :lol:

Nooo. I just fancy sitting in and playing with the buttons.
I guess like most people, I'm waiting for the Z2!
Plus I might be back in work by the time that's released...
