You'll do for us Stu.

(mind you, some of our NW gang have bought GPS thingy's (and still go the scenic route!!! )

You can't beat a ride out with our Robbo (& Mitch, for that matter!) but when it comes to REALLY getting lost, no-one can beat Irish Bob! (210 miles to go 2½ miles, in France!)

LOL!!! what happend did he take in Nürburgring whilst he was in the neighborhood!!

[Big Jim]

what happend did he take in Nürburgring whilst he was in the neighborhood

 

 

We were all at Le-mans, it was Friday 10-30am, and we all go to Indianapolis corner to see the cars. The weather was 'iffy' so we had our roofs on, one of our guys was in a Cobra. the 'gate' off the campsite was also the exit from a number of different areas of the site, Bob was following the Cobra, at the gate you have to 'filter' Bob had to let a lorry out in front of him, when he got out, he saw a cobra and followed it. After some time on the motorway, he noticed that the distance to Paris had decreased considerably, realising that he'd followed the wrong Cobra, he turned around and headed back to Le-mans, finally getting into Le-mans, where he then toured every road in the town trying to find the road to the racetrack. he arrived back at the campsite at 5-15pm, after 2 petrol stops!

 

He did get an award for it!

[Guest stu205]

"on the road by easter"

 

I love optimistic people,

 

Welcome to the group, mines T2 when we call,

 

And Jim has trouble leaving Cheshire, he thinks its North of Lancs (and cant find his way out of Widnes).

 

He doesnt tell us where we are supposed to be going, that way he never gets "lost"
