No Peter,just not gone to bed at that time,given it was Friday night,lol

I agree with you that the sights and sounds of several zeds..especially of different configurations often brings a smile to my face, especially if I'm playing tail end charley.. :thumbsup:

Whilst I do enjoy a hoon on my own across some of the fabulous roads we have here in the Borders, I do miss the banter and the drives with the Forum guys.. :driving:

Its a kind of Mr Bean meets The Last of the Summer Wine medley! :rofl:

More like Del boy and Rodney with the Yellow Reliant in tow,lol :rofl:

I've attended a few runs from different clubs but they just don't seem to quite strike the appropriate balance as the Forum runs do..

I did have 45+ days of various Z4 based hooning planned this year..so far only one day experienced..
Yeah,there was alot planned. And the great weather we have had just makes it more frustrating :x

Here's to the future where through drugs/vacinnes we can get together again!
Yes,fingers crossed :driving:

It’s definitely not the same hooning about on yer own.
Miss those great roads around the Dales and the sound of a bunch of zeds, and even the odd Jag.
Yes,here's hoping :thumbsup:
Yeah,some absolute crackers on the routes we do.....roll on freedom :driving:

I recognise those roads Moz.....lucky for you that you're not too far from it.
Trough of Bowl and that we did a couple of years ago was one we were/are planning on doing this year, if things can go ahead.
That Ingleton/ Hawes road is a good un :driving:

See you both soon,hopefully :thumbsup:

Since then each run I have planned to attend something has happen to prevent me attending. A blown tyre the day before SW run, better than on the run I guess and my mum passing away just before last years Lakes run. Not looking good for this year either. I get out with the local PH guys but your right Craig, nothing better than seeing and hearing a line of Zeds enjoying a good road. :driving:
Hopefully see you at a meet soon,John :thumbsup:

Mr Tidy wrote: Fri May 22, 2020 7:56 pm Yes, sadly it's been a while since I last met up with some Z owners to discuss all things Z4 related.

It's just a thought, but if we stuck to social distancing might it be permitted now?
You would think so,but still frowned on,unfortunately. I don't see it should be,if we kept to social distancing when not driving, as that's the only risky bit,as we are in our cars more than out of them on meets,I would think.
I guess its down to those who don't social distance properly/at all,that ruin things for the rest of us,wanting to meet in groups....like those flocking to beaches ,etc, with large groups of friends and being only inches apart from each other :headbang:

Hopefully from July we can get some things/meets on the go??
