As Karl has pointed out, its time to start thinking about next years run's, I will be having a run from mine to Sandringham again next year, any thoughts of which Sunday would be good for everyone in June (not fathers day) ?

Andy - how about June 27th ?
I've just gone through my shift rota & will be updating the 2010 calendar with weekend dates that I'm not working ( I only get 2 weekends out of 5 off ) .

The 27th June is fine with me, lets go for then.

Just a reminder that this is our next run/event for this month, who is up for a gentle ride around the Queens estate ? 8)..
Andy -did you want to update this with a meeting point for those that are new to this run ?
This is a really good run as Andy has sorted a route that includes a wicked downhill section just perfect for those high speed runs ;D

Hey guys, if there was one meeting I wanted to attend more than any other this year this was it.
BUT. As fate has it, a bird pood on my head, I fitted a satellite dish on the conk & Julia has just reminded me that I have to fetch Mark from summer scout camp on that day major bummer !!!
-

many thanks neil
-
Meet at mine anytime after 10.00am and plan to set off before 12.00 (PE30 3LY No.4) see above for full address, a real shame you can't come along Ian, but I fully understand its hard to get a weekend that is free, will see at Brooklands later in the year.

Retro Andy
-
I'm in the doghouse for this meet now. it's wifeys birthday on that day and she wants to go out, so I may have to make a trip on a different day (maybe earlier) to collect my batteries unless I can somehow take her out on a different day.
So, unless I find a way.. I'm out :(
-
Know how you feel mate.
-
No worries Mike, if you can't make it just let me know when you want the batteries if you still want a couple, if you can make it all the better.
Retro Andy
-
Is Steve coming along ?
Retro Andy.
-
Not posted for ages :D
This looks like a nice run, and not that far away, so i'll give the C5 the once over, pump up the tyres, check the battery and aim to join you all on Sunday ;D
Daz

Look forward to seeing you again on Sunday.
Retro Andy
-
Is Steve coming along ?
Retro Andy.
Steve can't make it on Sunday, he is duty grand parent for the day ;D
Angie and I will be there with "moneypit" and "voodoo" 8).
If anyone wants any c5 bit'n'bobs bringing along let me know asap.
So far on the list is; chassis for Neil and rear wheel bearings for Andy.
Fingers crossed the sunshine hangs around long enough :)
-
Karl, what is the wiring kit situation? :) :)

Karl, what is the wiring kit situation? :) :)
creeping up my list of things to do, after keeping up with the shop side and the forum, the recent restoration job took up what spare time I had left ...but I am looking to do them soon (they're only about 6 months late :-[...)
-
hi karl can you bring a set of brake cables please.....so i have a spare just incase..lol....
many thanks neil
-
Just the right rear wheel bearings for me Karl please, can't go anywhere without them, so I haven't been able to give Charlie a good test before the run this time, fingers crossed all will be fine :)

Think we'll be needing plenty of sun cream, and ice cream on Sunday. Looking like a hot one 8) 8)

Yeah baby, bring it on !
Don't forget to put sun cream on your knees - I remember Kurt getting badly burnt on one of the Brighton runs. Looked like he had been up to no good on the carpet :o ;D
-
A cold pint at the pub stop, is going to be so good ;D
Retro Andy

Charging my battery yesterday and the charger decided to break >:(
I'm sure i've got plenty of juice in the battery, but i guess we'll find out tomorrow :D
Just went out for a drive, without battery, to test the brakes ... the front is useless and needs tightening and the rear is lethal :D and needs loosening a little bit.
Any chance someone can give me a hand tomorrow to sort these out, as this morning i decided to burn my little finger on the steam from a just boiled kettle, and i now have a nice blister on it, which makes doing 2 hand jobs on the C5 a little tricky :D
Luckily it doesn't affect me driving the C5.
-
You know you will always get help from any of us mate, so you tomorrow.
Retro Andy
-
Not sure who's coming along, but realley looking forward to tomorrow, see you all in the morning :)
Retro Andy
-
Cheers Andy ;D
Leaving about 9am so should be with you about 10.30.
Daz
-
We will be there mate. Matt is really looking forward to it !!!- Minidaz may well see you on route! Andy -Hope my new battery is fully charged mate hope to give it a go.
-
Got back about 5.45pm.
I'm now knackered but it was a great day ;D
Even though my chain came off ( still not sure how i spotted that bit :) ) i enjoyed the ride. Certainly the longest i've ever been on, and i'm sure my legs will be telling me that tomorrow :D
After missing out on MK, it was good to get on the C5 and meet up with everyone again
Thanks Karl for fixing my chain .... everybody should carry a small keyring in their toolkit :D
Thanks Andy for the bacon and sausage rolls ... or should that be Andy's other half :D
Looking forward to seeing the pics. Time for a nice cold drink now ;D
Daz
-
.... still not sure how i spotted that bit
Daz
I'm renaming you "Sniper" ;D :D , that was superhuman vision being able to spot that half-link pin...I'm still in awe 8)
As always, the c5's provided some unexpected entertainment along the way....but a definate case of improvise,adapt and overcome meant we all got back under our own power 8)
Thanks again to Andy and his family for hosting yet another top run ;)
We'll post some piccies later...just about to enjoy a relaxing cold beer :-*
-
Gutted that I missed this! :( Still, wife had a good birthday and she does put up with my hobbies all year round, so she's allowed at least one day!
When / where is the next run?
Hope to see pics soon!
Andy, I'll try to get up to see you soon to talk C5 and collect those batteries :) :)
Hope you all had a good time!
-
Great fun at this run - many thanks to the Family Retro for hosting it - great weather and a very good route. Karl as always playing 'Jim al fix it' Minidaz using his six million dollar man eye to find the missing chain pin has to go down as one of the most remarkable breakdown turnarounds of all time - we all got back ready for the next one !!.Great to meet you all again as well as some new faces -Video coming very soon

And here it is thanks to young Matt -

My first attempt at video editing, sorry about the wind noise, and the quality has degraded once up loaded to Phot bucket.
Here it is anyway.
