By the way the "idiot" often minces GT2's......... no fookin problem :wink:
I know your cars fooking quick Clive but a GT2's 612bhp 516ftlb torque & 1300kg aint slow. Maybe you meant a Gt3 :wink:

What a fantastic day and a big thanks to those that organsied it. Had a right laugh with different people, this club is in a very good place at the moment.

Thanks to Scott for the pipe and all the advice, you are a top man :doubleup:

Had a great day out with wing man Sim too.

And Ron, I really hadnt got that close to the 'B' up until yesterday. Mate, that is one awesome car and was a pleasure to follow it up to RCM yesterday. It kinda took me back to the Colin McCrae convoy a few years ago with VBH leading the convoy in one of his old rally cars. I does look rather special on the road.

Scott.T 11-12-2011 10:39 AM

Thanks guy's for organising and thanks to Olly and the team for letting us roam about the place all day. I'm sure we will be back in touch with RCM sometimeinthe near future.

Crowman 11-12-2011 10:41 AM

Steve, your so right mate, I followed Ron and Keith all the way back to Uckfield and wow the "B" looks stunning. It's sooooooo wide, the one problem I did have, it's so shiny I was getting dazzled by the reflection of my headlights :-)

That'll be your daylight producing headlights:zoiks: we went blind when you crested a hill behind us:sos:

Great pics of the day turning up:10: glad people enjoyed it......

Looked good but a bloody long way to go for a day!

My lights must need adjusting as I get flashed all the time , HID's very bright, but think they are to high.

You are right mate. It was a long way and a tank and a half of fuel!, but worth it. Shame you weren't there Chris.

It is a long way:nod: but, well worth it for a day:nod:

It's been worth going on previous trips, just to have work done on the cars:nod: todays trip was made even more worthwhile by the people that turned up:worthy: Everyone was talking, enjoying themselves and making a good day of it........

The journey up and back was no problem and again, enjoyable because of the company. People car sharing made it possible for members who didn't fancy driving to make it up there.........

Think everyone agreed that it was good to see Subarman enjoying himself:smblk:

We will be going again and i'm sure most if not all who went yesterday will go again, I would go as far as saying more will come next time because of how enjoyable it was for the members that went this time....... think about coming Chris, i'm sure you will enjoy it and see that the travelling is well made up for:nod:

Tank and a half:eek::zoiks:

I used a tankfull this time (normally 3/4) but I did fill up the day before, so some of that was used the day before........ that'll be those heavy newages for you;)

Great to cruise up with you Steve and perfect timing at Falmer in the morning:10:

Just over half a tank for me (it is a 17 gallon tank though & maybe a little bit less distance to go) although the bloody 50mph sections did help lol

BIG"E" 11-12-2011 12:02 PM

Looked like a good day.:doubleup:

What was the Slag having done?

I dowt I would go as its going to be a weekend again.
I go away for six weekends a year for car related events and feel that is anuff when I have children at school . if it was a morning or an afternoon then that would be different :nod:

Crowman 11-12-2011 12:50 PM

I filled up in Tunbridge wells then when i filled up again i got 34 litres in, that was covering 201 miles.
I have just under 3/4 of a tank left, so basically i used aprox 3/4 a tank
Have worked out its actually nearly 26mpg, so not to bad,the scoob felt so much nicer with the very cold air.

A little Geo fettling

Skullfudge 11-12-2011 01:45 PM

That would prove about right Martyn going by the mpg threads I have been involved in on The P1 Woc.

I always use my trips to RCM as a fuel guide as I do the trip so often and I have made it ti RCM on 50% of a tank although the many 50 mph restrictions assisted.

P1's have a 60 Ltr tank.

If I ragged the thing often on the trip things are very different though :)


Mine too performs much better on cold mornings/days as do many of the other guys with P1's.


Cold damp mornings are the best ;)

I did as well, not sure if they are pointed too high or if its just HIDs in reflector lenses not being quite right, but they are sodding bright! Pointing them downwards can only help tho :nod:

Bigtel 11-12-2011 03:32 PM

I made it there and back (About 290m inc detour to P2) on a tank although I did have to keep slowing down to let Fudge and James catch up on the way back which helped. ;-)

They are mega bright, when i put high beam on, its actually seems less bright.

I will get them looked at,as getting flashed all the time is a pain in the butt

Jason73 11-12-2011 04:30 PM

Had a really good day out:) nice to meet you all. Can't wait to go again. Very good collection of scoobys there as well

majorscooby 11-12-2011 04:54 PM

Late to reply as ive been so so busy, but yes it was a wicked day and i suppose my first proper meet in my new scoob for quite a few years!

Lovely place to visit and very welcoming from the crew of RCM. :worthy: top guys 8-)

Going up there and back i did a tank of fuel which i didnt think was to bad as we did have a little play here and there. :whistle:

looking forward to future visits for sure. hopefully with a bit more cash to spare. :doubleup:

LOL Tel. The Woccafellas do drive different to some SES members.

Although Anger did drive like my Grandmother for 98% of the trips to be fair he was nursing a small electronic issue as the car cut out for no reason a few miles after we had left Daz.

Bigtel 11-12-2011 05:15 PM

Ahhhhhh that explains that, I thought you dropped back alot before we got on the A14.

Just started the car up and not as bad as I thought. Had a full tank when I left and then put £30 in at the shell garage on the M1 on the way back, and still got half a tank left so reckon i did about a tank and a small bit. Round trip was 340 miles though so not too bad.

Scooby_Greg 11-12-2011 08:11 PM

Looks a truly fantsatic day. Hope one and all had a great time.
Thanks again for the offer Steve.

Scott.T 11-12-2011 08:13 PM

About £70 in fuel for me, but was 362 miles.
No hold up's though and M1, A14, M11 on the way back was a good shout as the sun was smack in my face on the M1, so running east accross on the A14 sorted that whilst it set.

Lucky did you go up to RCM in your black Hawkeye ??

Lucky 11-12-2011 10:07 PM

Yes clive, it was hidden behind Granbys monaro! Don't think I will ever forget your face when I said that woman was my wife lol, absolute classic :rofl: better point out she wasn't!

LMAO ........... Jeez you gave me a fright saying that lol.

Fudge <--- still learning whos who. Another one logged in my memory banks :)

SpecB 12-12-2011 06:20 AM

I'll have to come up next time - tad over 300 miles for me so easily a tank (plus a drop of oil the way things are going!)!

kartingsteve 12-12-2011 08:41 AM

Yes a good trip and I did 27mpg when I fill up on the way back but did not start with a full tank so prob a little bit better than that but it when down after that. But it's a sign of the times when we talk about mpg instead of saying we did a tank each way :drive:

thepieman 12-12-2011 09:24 AM

Just worked out the mileage from filling up on the Friday and its.........

377miles to a tank for me:coolsanta:

Its better than we get out of the Legacy:rally:

As I said to Keith at the services on the way back, don't care what it gets mpg wise:nono: if it needs 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or a full fill up, thats what it gets:drive:

All I need to know, is that everytime the car goes to RCM its going to need a tank of fuel:nod: Still not enough to put me off keeping the car serviced by them and will be going when the MOT and next service is due, without question:closed: Those who have been, will fully understand why.....

We came to one roundabout Tel and i lost all power including lights and powersteering and my Syvecs wasnt happy with me trying to boot it and kept on taking timing out.... Dont think my oil even got in the 70's on the way home.... Its grim up north
