The good morning thread

A bit late today an early start in the garage. Fulvia and Giulietta packed with all their spares, washed and ready to be delivered to their short term homes at a local storage facility. Weather clearing up nicely for an afternoon relaxing in the garden with a beer or three

Er... 'morning'. Back darn sarf after a cracking weekend in York, via Lincoln, to see Crud the Youngest. He's been chucking cricket balls round at the Cricket World Cup for the warm-ups in the nets and was very pleased with himself, so we fed him, gave him booze and went on our way.

This weekend I have learned that setting Waze to avoid motorways makes for far better and less stressful journeys. Highly recommended.

Thanks...noted re Waze.

I'm sure it was slower, but so much more interesting, and there were some pretty nice rounds, too.

I have to pick the Renault 14 up on Thursday and drive it on trade plates from Holyhead to Chi...consulting the map now...

conaero · Jul 7, 2019

...321 miles and 5:15 motorway or 7:15 and 290 miles.

Motorway!

From Holyhead I recommend the A5 rather than the A55, the pick up the motorways at Telford...

Yeah, it’s motorway for the win.

We had a superb run back today. Until 5 miles from home with a dual carriageway closed due to a nasty smash involving a ford Escort. Until then we had passed unhindered through strange and magical places, with weird names such as Boston and Prickwillow.

Morning mob. Smoke today for some team 1:1s then what might be a busy evening teaching.

Have a great day, all

Morning, hungover...Dan! and 14hrs drinking again.

Andy, it’s supposed to clear this morning so you should be ok. Enjoy.

Also Pook Lane is closed but New Road is open so just go down that.

Good morning all....

Thanks for that Matt......new road it was........I never cleared up.....rained most of the day.....got bloody soaked.....Did we care...No as we all had a fantastic time. Just a brilliant day out had by all.

I agree much better run and rarely takes longer, it's the way the SZ will be going in reverse later this month

Morning. Nice one Andy. The only person of note we saw was Sir Jackie Stewart.

Morning all, last week was short week in Dublin so this week is a long one but at least I will miss the great unwashed invasion until Saturday

Morning all, invoicing first then a couple of sites in east London later. A bit weepy this morning as it is six years tomorrow I lost my dad, I still have things I’d like to ask him, I miss his wisdom.

Have fun all...

Very sad Newton...a message to us all about our ageing parents.

daverichardson · Jul 8, 2019

Rustique restaurant in York Lendal was very nice yesterday.
Final prep for Med Cruise tomorrow
Be safe all and Good morning

MrPea · Jul 8, 2019

Morning everyone!
Newton, that's sad indeed, but you clearly garnered rather a lot of wisdom from him as you're (usually) a wise man.
Well that was a cracking weekend! New car and a trip to Paris and Muse at the Stade de France with MLC.
From Holyhead I'd rarely use the A55... A5 is stunning and it's a route I was driven at least twice every school holiday whilst growing up to visit my Nain & Tide on Angelsey. I hadn't been on it for several years before I could drive and now, the few times I've driven it myself, I instinctively know the road. I's a great one.
Mental health first aider training for me today - this should be very interesting!
HapPea Monday

Good Morning all.
Ms French making my second latte so nice to be back home.
Newton certainly miss my Dad lost him whilst I was in NZ.
Constantly thankful for all he taught me and leading me into the Automotive World.
Have my own private moments to remember all the Good times with him.
Have a Great Week all.

GeoffCapes · Jul 8, 2019

Morning all. Office today, aching after a 65 mile bike ride yesterday that included 4000 ft of climbing, which is 1000 more than Ride London in 3 weeks!
So I think I'm prepared!

We'll see in 3 weeks I guess.

Good Afternoon All, Well that morning went quick...
