Ok so first post and i guess i better post it here as i was the virgin
first off all it was great to meet all who turned up i can honestly say in all the car meets i have attended i have NEVER turned up with my ride strapped down to the vehicle i arrived in lol.
ok so i get to the meet with mikedx not having a clue what the hell i was letting myself in for (ah daz we just got a few mile run to find the rout for the main meet) so im thinking ok full battery 5-10mph yeah im good i wont have to do a great deal of peddling hahah
so lets get to it get the c5 off the roof and we are all set wwwooooooooo lets go..........No mike decides that the great group of guys that are there need to help fix the pod lights 1st so 3 blokes on there hands and knees getting the control box apart again noooooo........ i sugest we pick it up and for once actualy put it in the back of mikes car to work at a decent hight(us mechanics dont work on the floor
) so after massive thanks to everyone the c5 thats taking my virginity is up and running.
skip forwards to the run, now we start at the carpark now thats easy right its all set out in the marvelous mk city circular trail brouchure we had, WRONG its set in 24 segments and as we found out many many many a time unless you think your left is your right and your right dont exist its probably only good to use as a good kneel matt for when you get a puncture lol, but undefeted off we go and wow did we go.......and stop right we are getting nowhere with the map so mike gets us the directions off the phone (whilst stopped halfway up a hill and me driving the only c5 with a slipping drive belt,,,story of the day lol) but again woooo we are off.
Until...... the 2nd biggest hill of the trail 3 get to the top and realise 007 has a puncture easy fix plenty of innertubes no probs but wait 6 of us started out and only 3 at the top whats goin on here??? after walkin back down the bottom off the hill i see the others fixing a puncture at the bottom of the hill lol now i gotta walk back up it grrrrr. long story short after several more breakdowns (punctures and brake cable and various battery lead disconnections) we are almost on the home straight...........
part 2 to follow i can hardly move lol
