Is now ;)

Threads up on Kent Scoobies as well but no interest yet.

D'oh! I don't think I'll be able to make it next weekend either, what is it with women and taking up all your spare time :whistle:

Nothing f***ing new lately :-o, shame I'm working as its a nice pub :chug:

Don't know what you mean ;) :lol:

I'll leave it until Wednesday or Thursday then give the pub a bell to book some tables, so plenty of time for people to join the list yet.

Us Kent boys prefer to travel further than most actually ;-)

Would love to be joining you but working, look forward to the photo`s instead :doubleup:

I know steve...your venture to Barcombe at xmas was duly noted:grin:

There is a lot of that Norovirus :vom::vom: about its quite common to get it :nod: :lol:

you could even both get it :whistle:

Trouble is I just don`t do sickies :sadnod: and if I did it would be just my luck someone would walk into that pub that knows me.

Could book the day but need to replemish the coffers.

So as I said looking forward to the photo`s and snow :yeah:.

Well in that case I think you should sell it to me :lol:

I will see if funds are good as back up in Scotland again on a recce for an exercise that my regiment are taking part in .

Sorry folks I'm double booked, so can you take Dibdob from the eaters and I will meet up with you next time.b Steve

:D:D

needs an MOT aswell!! :P

is there any meeting points for any convoys for this meet on sunday?

May pop in as I need to see Ian. Subject to the weather.....

Something about this pub, it always seems to snow when we go there!

you'll have to excuse my multi coloured car at the moment, just installed sti scoop and one piece front grill, also a sti wagon interior, thanks to Si42.

too cold to spray them at moment. project wagon sti is getting there.

Thats cool...:lol: :doubleup:

Be good to see you Greg. Been a while!!!

It's been ages Steve - it will be good to see you!

Sorry guys looking at the forecast it looks a no go for us, especially as we'd be bringing the wee one! We're going to bail early to make more local plans.

Sorry to mess you about guys but I've got to work sunday now due to the weather,

I will get to a meet one day i promise!!

Weather might play havoc with this meet, will have to wait and see. I haven't booked any tables yet as want to see what the snow does.

It will be fine, it cant be any worse than our Christmas meeting :lol:

Come on dont be affraid to drive your scoobies in the snow its more fun as we have 4wd .

Only two of us turned up in Scoobs then! How many are going in Scoobs to this meet? :angst:

Something tells me it might be the only vehicle to make it .:whistle:

Yep!

Just looked at the BBC weather page for Sevenoaks and sods law - no snow on Saturday but it returns on Sunday at midday :doh:

Will keep an eye on things but keep checking this thread folks - we might have to make a late call on yay or nay if its looking heavy.

Not able to make this now. I'm on nights again tonight. :drive:

i will be there inmthe Scoob if it is still on.

I will be popping in with the scoob too. Forecast is for snow from around midday, but only around 5cm

Might be ok for this one as my Lisa's football match is off.

Thats the spirit.:nod:

well we've had no further snow today eastbourne....assuming it doesn't drop any overnight we should be ok;-)

Drove over to Eastbourne and back and all was fine. Roads were even pretty dry.
Worst bit was getting to the main road from here. Will be nice and ice'y tomorrow morning, but shouldn't be a problem for AWD.

Ive been brought in tonight due to others who have fell fowl of the poo bug! If tonight isnt to bad work wise i might try to make it over. :drive:

That will be good..:doubleup:

No more snow in Mid-Sussex either, showing as due some tomorrow but its not meant to be more than 5cm at most - sure it'll be fine. Might be a bit slippy in places but its winter after all, just drive safely folks. If theres snow up there it might be a cool photo for next years calendar for December or something :)

No tables have been booked as i've been weather watching - but its a big pub and i'm sure they'll be room - especially as we're meeting from 12pm. See you all tomorrow.

11. Kartingsteve?

sorry guys gonna pull out of this one now.

Now forecasting upto 10cm of snow in South East during today. Have to wait and see as the forecasting so far hasn't been too accurate.

Been snowing for last hour here

Same here in kent, coming down rather heavy now, do you think many will turn up today??

snowing a small amount in horsham, i'll keep an eye n this thread as if still on i will be there.

Its a nightmare here. Been snowing for a couple of hours. My road is back to tracks again. A real shame as i was looking forward to catching up with everyone .

Whats the general concensus then guys? I'll be getting there via M23/M25 so sure i won't have any problems, but then i'm not sure how the back roads will be.

Happy to still go but don't want people taking risks with their scoobs just for a pub lunch.

OK Steve, no problem. Sounds a lot worse over there than in Mid Sussex at the moment then....

Not looking good here and it could be twice as bad the other side of The Ridge which is quite common.
Don't fancy getting stuck in amongst a load of idiots so seriously thinking about pushing this meet on a week. What do u reckon ?

i could do next week. I think we would probably get there its just the thought of being stuck behind some idiot who cant drive in the snow or being hit by one that is putting me off:x

Think it safer all round. The turnout isnt going to be a full one, and as steve said, main roads should be fine, but the back roads wont be. This lot has apparently come over from france so has hit here first but it is forecast to spread all day.

You dont have to follow me if you dont want to :lol:

Probably the safest bet to postpone it now Scott - yesterdays forecast didn't have snow arriving until midday today so that was clearly wrong. Now showing as going to get worse (snow until at least 3pm). Sure most folks could make it fine, but as you say, its all the other plebs out on the road you can't trust. Lets call it now.

Meet postponed until next weekend - Sunday 27th January, 12pm onwards.

Sorry guys.

cool, good shout Steve, will see you all next weekend.

Last night it had mostly disappeared. This is now

Right I'm off sledging on the Ashdown Forest.... and maybe find a nice deserted car park for some fun (not of the dogging variety by the way)

Same as Steve, it was clear this morn and then this lot landed. I'm fine driving in it, it's the other idiots spinning their wheels up trying to get about.
http://i1237.photobucket.com/albums/...B6BF0DABB2.jpg

Bit too cold for that eh? Have fun :lol:

Snowing again in canterbury wont be able to make the meet on the 27th as i will be in france then for two weeks hope the weather is good and you all have a good time and please do take some pics of what i have missed see you all when i get back in feb for the next meet .

I am still going out with the camera as I think the main road will be ok and after all we have Scoobies not Bm's. As for next week if the weather ok then the football will be on.

Good call. Up on Ashdown Forest and all the back roads are impassable for anything other than 4WD. Funny to watch though :lol:

Quite funny & not really relevant BUT. My neighbour within the last month has bought a Hyundai 4x4 thing. We spoke before he bought it as he was sick of his Previous car a Merc getting stuck every time it snowed. Anyway he bough this thing for £23k ,hid dad thought he would do the Same & bought an identicle Hyundai. There both stuck outside my house £46k worth. Father & son have both given up. Just for the hell of it I've jumped into Ali's Rav & driven straight past them both. Maybe a bit cruel but I just had a big grin across my face as the neighbour 's dad sold his Rav to get the now stuck Hyundai. :drive: I will give them another half hour then pull em out. Or I might just carry on being Mr Smug. :rofl:

Sorry I should have said AWD. Never seen so many cars in ditches

Nige, just make sure you wave as you go past.

Plenty of divs out there trying to get about!! i see wavey tyre marks a good 6ins away from my scoob!!

Sounds like they just can't drive lol

Better still tow them with FUGLY :doubleup: :lol:

Cancelling was a good call.Just heard on news that A21 was shut.

100% :agreed:

Can't make next sunday as promised to help the wife with her work....bollox

Probably worth starting a new attendance list. I'm unlikely to make it at the moment.
