Peak District Laning Day 13th October

Up and ready for the off

Had a great day

I was a little slower that the rest :oops:

But they always stopped and waited for me :angel:

Well just got home after a great days lanning in the Peaks, a big thank you to Danny for sorting the lanes and to the other guys for the company and banter. :thumbup:

A noisy trip home and the ears are still ringing, tried, Halfords, Kwikfit and a local independent guy for a quick fix to get me home but to no avail i thought kwikfit stocked loads of exhaust parts but they have to order them in :thumbdown:

and the local guy quoted me £220 plus labour the whole front to back system new is only £140 wtf

You all left your cameras at home ? C'mon chaps get 'em up

I'm just waiting on photobucket boy's. :shock:

There the only ones i managed to get. Many thanks to danny for a great day out.
Hope everyone made it home safe. now its time for a few :drink:

Had a really fun day, thanks for the company chaps :thumbup:

, hope you all enjoyed the lanes we got onto and especially the bit of playing in the old quarry

! Cant belive we had sunshine 1 minute and sleet the next :crazy:

too! Sorry to hear about the truck Gary, bet that was a nightmare driving all that way with half an exhaust :oh yer:

, oh yeah and mines broke too :oops:

, it appears that my oil pump has packed in or sumat :shock:

? Will need to look into that later :problem:

. Did everyone get home ok n without issue? Awsome pics mate! :clap:

Looks good guys...great pics...

Danny be aware that goosed oil pump+2.2i isnt good news for the bottom end of the lump...this is one of the causes of the bottom trying to get out of the engine normally I think... :shock:

Good job the A swb is a 2.0 then isnt it matey :wink:

Quality day out guys thanks for your company and thanks to Danny for organising it.
Here's some pics I took, got loads of videos to sort out and put on too!

No need for thanks guys, i was just happy to have a bit of company whilst out :thumbup:

Forgot about the "BULL RUN" :lol:

here's the photos i took

looks like you had a great day out so looking at this i am going to have to get off my ar5e and get some more midland meets sorted so we can start having a few get togeathers again but great pics guys.

Wow! Awesome pix

Hoping to come along next time

The trip home wasn't that bad the rumble of the exhaust drowned out the whining I got most of the day, in a high pitched voice don't drive down that were never make it and screams of OH **** and **** but as usual the Fronties just drove through it all taking the terrain in their stride oh a a couple of large rock with them in some cases :thumbup:

Hope you get the shortie sorted soon Danny, did you manage to nurse it home ok ?

Think the sister has more of the adventurous side to her mate :wink:

Got it back mate, it sounds like the top end was abit starved of oil even tho it was full to the line, so thinking its gota be the pump?? As you know the oil pressure was low all day and ended up being non existant on the way back and when i heard the tapping start i turned it off straight away n let it cool, then started it back up n no tapping so there mustve been some oil getting round as the cap was covered?? so limped it home :thumbdown:

.
Next step is oil n filter change n an engine flush as it seems to be full of gunk n sh1t, might just be blocked due to lack of service?? HOPEFULLY!
Who took the vid of me driving down that death drop in the quarry???????? id really like to watch that

Nice pics guys looks like a

day

and a big thanks to Dannyboy for taking over the run so a :clap:

So what did I hit to bend my sump guard :shock:

I didn't even go that fast over anything :lol:

At least the rattling has now stopped

Can I ask where's the vid if it's where I think it is shouldn't of been there it's of a very sensitive lane. Sorry to be a kill joy but there is some much going on in the peaks don't want to give them any reason to close them.
