What is it about vicars and bikes? We had A famous vicar and his bike club in Birmingham in the 60's

They were trying to reach out to the youth, as back then bikers were frowned on. Mind you I think it's good to be a petrolhead as it's better for your health than drinking and smoking ever will be!
 
so, 9am @ donington services for a short convoy & brekky and gorp at the cars @ Donington race track dec 16th then ! ALL ABOARD :driving:
 
It's about a 90 mile drive for me to the services (off the M1?) "RW" would you check to see I've got the right place https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/8...75e18f24d465bb8!2m2!1d-1.3083128!2d52.8216418?

It might be a bit too much for me to do a 200+ mile round trip atm (due to my back being untested driving this far in my Zed), but in the new year I may be able to handle such a long trip on my own (I think my old man won't be able to join me this Sunday).

That's the donington services :thumbsup:
 
Cheers for the comfirm Mark! :thumbsup:
i'll have to see how my back behaves over the weekend, but I kinda want to do a really long journey blasting in my Z4M :driving:
 
I HAD ONE OF THESE for my last car.

in fact, if you make it up to here on sunday i will loan you mine till we meet again - talk about try before you buy ! :D

tbo, the m1 should be pretty kind to you - and stopping at services along the way will help.
 
I actually sorta lay with my seating positing , which keeps pressure off my damaged areas. I'll try and sort something out, as I would enjoy the long drive :thumbsup:
 
Hi All

I'm hoping to get across to Donington this Sunday (depending on kids activities) however what about his place:

https://www.farmhouseinns.co.uk/pubs/derbyshire/cherry-tree-farm/

Really easy access form all directions, food and drink, next to a service station that sells V Power!

im happy to go with this for the 29th

so.. saturday 29th chaps ? any thoughts ? pub brekkie maybe ? somewhere :driving: ?
a post chrimbo shakedown ? when your sick of turkey and you want to kill the kids..

Also, i recall Neil mentioned a Toby in Knowle that may be still be doing "all you can eat" breakfasts for £4.69 - i will check on that - this will suit our more southern fellas, about a mile from junc 5 m42, close-ish to the nec of course

and i was thinking..
anybody in the midland posse, or wants to come along . is more than welcome to suggest a guest meeting place - different places - differant every time , and later in the year , we can go and see other members meets, now who fancies a day at the seaside :driving:
 
I'm not sure what I'm up to yet on the 29th but if I'm free then the Tree Farm is about the right sort of millage for a meet.
Also just a quick one, is anyone going to Mallory Park on Boxing day for the Plum pudding races ?

You need the extra power to shift that lard arse :rofl:
Right I'll be in touch over the weekend the makes sure I'm still going.
 
It sounds like something out of Dickens but the wife only has Christmas day and Boxing Day off, so... Have fun. :( I can't make the pudding races, only the 29th for me, so which day/ event are you fellas talking about ?
