Calling Belfast/ N.I crew

[jim91]

Reckon we maybe need another run again over the summer?

I'm away for a bit but 23rd/24th 30th/31st maybe or else August (give Doc time to MOT the GTS ? Saturday or Sunday suit best?

Any thoughts on route............. ie good rocco friendly roads like last time (except the small off road section I choose LOL)

Plenty A and B roads and no dual carraigeway or motorway maybe maybe county down out towards Newcastle etc and get some ice cream or ards peninsula??

Now that's probably the best kick in the ass I need to sort the rocco

CB's at the ready

I'm away until the end of July, so if you can keep it till after the 26th I would be much obliged. On my annual Munich German pilgrimage. Haven't seen one Rocco for the third year in a row!! Just back from a frustuck beer festival in Konningsdorf. They have a religous ceremony at 9:00 in the morning. Then beer for breakfast with live Jazz and all day drinking. Proper order.
At least they know how to do hair cuts over hear. Prost / slainte to all !

Forgot to mention, sitting last night watching the Womens world cup football. I asked the in laws where the Match was being held. Wolfsburg was the answer. Then my father in law, who has spent most of his life working in Siemens calmly told me how he spent many happy years working as a student in the Wolfsburg factory! Back then he told me, Wolfsburg built everything, nothing was shipped in. Small world. The same guy used to design and build Satellites amongst other things for Siemens, not the dishes, the ones that orbit. Now, Kevin, get that car MOT'd!!

Spent the day undersealing her , just gotta get her running right and fire her in for MOT .Worst can happen is they'll tell me what she needs .

[jim91]

quality stuff Phil, we'll leave til end of July or start August then.

Any suggestions for a route or direction?

[whiteshark]

Either North Coast ending at Torrs Head or Ards Pin, whatever, Im easy. The longer the better as it is the one day I can spend child free. Crossnacreevy, Ballygowan, Kircubbin, Strangford and back to Belfast on the ferry is a nice drive or Torrs head via whatever, any other suggestions more than welcome.

[doc400sp]

Any of those routes sounds good to me . Went into town today and got ownership transfered to my name, hope to get V5 back in time for this . If not would you guys be ashamed to be seen with a Rover ? Anyone know if Inker is up for this ?

Kev
The blue one is off the road at the mo, nothing wrong sorned it there and let the insurance slide, all down to the dreaded monies.
Yes would be up for this have access to trade plates and may run run with that only concern is "the blacks" and running into a jobsworth regarding the trade plates.
Ards Pen down one side up the other (the irish sea side would provide jim with his photo opp) or cross over the ferry not fussed.

[jim91]

The drive from N'ards round to Bangor is really nice route if I remember

[jim91]
