Well that makes 3 black FD\'s in blackpool now lol - we should have a mini meet.

The FD is fine - had HID lights fitted last month (very nice!) and just replaced my cd/minidisk head unit for one with an aux in so i can connect my zune up. Now it sits next to the FC Commander in another holder so both middle vents are covered lol.

How is yours? and hi to Tiger. Send me a PM when you get the chance and we can sort some sort of meet.

Cheers

Edd

Lets get it going then. as i say can we make it around easter, otherwise I will be stuck down in portsmouth :(. However i used to live around there, and did all my cycle training in the area, so know a few good roads north of blackpool ( there are infact quality roads all the way up to durham, and beyond) so could cobble together some kind of route, with other peoples suggestions for roads as well naturally!
As for the food bit, i have the inn at whitewell springing to mind, although it could be a little posh. but there are plenty in the area, or we can head further east toward settle, or north toward ingleton, or back west to lancaster, or, or, well you get the idea!!!!:Hammer

could be a nice little trip out for a few hrs

the A59 is always a nice road for a blast , thru the back end of keighley ( some nice open roads there ) - and back down the M65

there are loads of places around here :D

i reckon shaunwil will be up for it , Hotstepper will prob come out for a play , flat4matt im sure he wants a chance to show off the single turbo

there are a few of us around the preston and chorley area :D

so what are we looking at here

blackpool , garstand , preston ???
Title: Black fd, CherryTree Rd, Blackpool
Post by: marco on February 18, 2007, 09:35:24 PM
if we are going to do a blast on some roads, garstang would be a very good starting point. I guess it all depends on if we want to blast along the roads or just meet up?
if we want to do a \'tour of Lancs\' (ok, can jump into cumbria and Yorks as well!) then maybe a good idea if people put forward any roads in the area they really enjoy. Then we can look to link them together and get a really good appricaition of the area?

I put forward the road from the A6 through Nateby to the out skirts of Outrawcliffe. then turn right and head to the north end of pilling, then link up with the A road between pilling and lancaster (via cockerham) from there you can aim for Kirby lonsdae and the lakes, of the trough and North yorks.

Anyone else got suggestions? lets do the same for pubs and bars as well, even if this meet falls through then at least this can act as a database for vistiors to lancashire!

crickey - thats £75 of juice and a good few hrs gone !! LOL

might be best starting out as a meet and then as summer hits go for a little "jaunt"

Post by: marco on February 18, 2007, 10:16:52 PM
if its worth doing, it worth doing properly!

ok, lets do a meet then, i guess somewhere between preston and blackpool?

I was going to say preston docks, but only if they still do those crepes there! they are cracking!
Title: Black fd, CherryTree Rd, Blackpool
Post by: grinder on February 18, 2007, 10:22:59 PM
just trying to think of a nice place to meet up around that area

i suppose we need to know where all the people are - no point all meeting up on someones door step is there

can anyone recommend somewhere ??

there must be a nice pub or summat like that around the garstang area ??

ok guys, i think we can safely say this thread has been well and truly hijacked. Shall we all agree to decamp to the North west meet thread and continue on there? no point in discussing the same thing on 2 threads is there? :Hammer
