We can add in a loop further north or south to increase the distance if you all want to make a full afternoon of it, but this should take about 1.5-2 hours with stops.

Done .

 

With this weekend being Japfest I'm not sure how many would be game. I'll be unavailable, it's bodyshop time, hopefully get the car sorted!

[Colin-mkiv]

Sunday 20th is my choice like...

[safcdixon]

Yeah 20th is my choice too but the 19th is also ok, i need too sort a few issues with the car this weekend

[pbryant_knight]

I'm easy so should be available for any of the dates.

[safcdixon]

Can't do 19th now only 20th I have too go too Chorley on a asbestos awareness course, on a Saturday!!!!!

[jonny248]

20th good for me I think.....

[Stevo]

Aye ganon then, I'll have a look out if the car isn't with Chris Wilson.

[safcdixon]

if theres not many interested in this, the japnortheast meet for may has just been confirmed for the same day sunday 20th so if numbers are low then we could take a look there instead and save the run out for a nicer day in the summer because the weather is looking dismal for this week!

[Colin-mkiv]

Aye, I saw that, I'm easy like.

[safcdixon]

maybe worth pm'n everyone up here too get there preference, as some dont get on here that often

[jonny248]

What about seeing what the weather is like on the day and if it's ok then a blast it is... If the weathers crap then people probably won't turn up to JNE as who's going to stand about in the rain??

 

Just a thought.....

[safcdixon]

Yeah true, just trying too come up with a back up plan really, hopefully the weather will be good, tbh I'm not gonna know I'm gonna have too count on you guys too say what the weathers like in northumberland

[Guest ugp]

I'll be there on the 20th if I'm allowed to bring the Porker along, my Supe's still not ready.

[qwarrior]

What about we start the run out at JNE, then we can factor in a convoy through the tunnel

 

I'll get a proposed route done. If we try and plan around the weather then it'll never happen.

[qwarrior]

OK guys.

 

Proposed route below.

In summary: Starting at JNE, 4 legs with stops at Tynemouth, Blyth (Lunch), Whalton and then finish near Ponteland. Total length approx. 45miles. Includes Tunnel Convoy, bring £1.30.

Any body know how to do a batch PM on people in your friends list?

[safcdixon]

That's a good route mark, be good too get a video of the tunnel should sound good at full chat in second there will be some good spots along the way too get some good pics

[Colin-mkiv]

Sorry guys, I can't do the coastal run, my car isn't running right, currently averaging 12mpg and popping and banging like a b*tch. Could possibly make the JNE meet though.

That doesn't sound good...

[Colin-mkiv]

I need to resolve this, it comes and goes but everytime it comes back it's worse than before. I've only just got the car looking how I want it as well. Gutted.

have you tryed cleaning the o2 sensors? maybe worth a try if you have time before the weekend

[Colin-mkiv]

I fitted known to be good replacements with very little miles on them and the issue stayed exactly the same so I dont think it was that, being 2nd hand ones though makes it hard to rule them out and I aint paying £50 apiece for new ones. I have a few little things to try before resorting to checking the timing etc. Fingers crossed I can sort it as I'd like to join the Coastal drive.

[safcdixon]

yeah hopefully you will get sorted mate
