yup sure is..

only thing that would put us off would be snow, Very strong winds or very thick fog.

fingers crossed.todays rather nice here so im living in hope.

meet at the cat and fiddle 10.30am then we can always tailor route according to weather or what people feel like on the day.

This time last year on the road just outside Buxton:

Let not snow and fog put you off!

See you there.

I'll be in the 911 if I can get it to start, after a reasonably sucessful 'italian tune' last night, it just clicked this morning. Guess an earth has come loose.

wow that 2nd picture would make a great xmas card or December in a Porsche Calender.

fingers crossed you find the problem. we'll bring a starter/charger unit with us just in case

Gary71 · Post by **Gary71** » Sat Jan 06, 2007 3:46 pm

All fixed

(I hope!)

The live connection between the solenoid and the starter itself was slightly corroded, so I hope this may be the first DDK event I can get too (and back!) under my own power.

See you all at 10:30 tomorrow, must just check where I'm going!

Had a great day out, thanks to Helen for suggesting this

Hope everyone got home safely.

A few pics from the day.

It was freezing outside, but luckily the raging fire kept us warm...

many thanks to the landlord for agreeing to open half an hour earlier for us and making us all coffee....most welcome.

What a great turn out for a miserable January day

Thanks for a good day Helen.

A first for Gary? Out and back on a DDK trip out - yay

And the inaugral honorary "white stick" goes to Larry 'does anyone know where we are?' Goff, for his inimitable style of navigation. We got there in the end and the lunch made the mystery tour worthwhile

Many thanks to Helen and larry for the run round it was most enjoyable even if the weather was crap, and nice to meet some more new faces.
Gary if you can e-mail the pictures I would be grateful.

Thanks for organising that Helen .
Crap weather but some nice roads .
So nice it was worth driving most of them twice

So where are you taking us in FEBRAURY ?

Gary71 · Post by **Gary71** » Mon Jan 08, 2007 7:54 am

Richard /Helen,

If you can pm your email address I send the pictures out tonight

I have a couple more as well, but strangely for me not 250!

I managed to drop my camera just as I walked in my back door, suprisingly the lens and shutter did not appreciate a 4 foot drop onto a tiled floor. Ah well, that's what your insurance is for I guess..
