Nice day for a Sunday drive - northern style!!

[Geordie-Chris]

The Northern JOV lads had planned a early morning run up the 'Alston Pass' or Heartside Cafe, which is the highest cafe in England. Awsome driving roads, and if you don't want to get stuck behind sunday drivers all the way you've got to get up there sharp'ish! We set off at about 8, and had an awsome convoy of Novas, Corsa's and Mk 4 Astra GSi's along for the ride!!
Here's a couple of camera phone pictures of the turn out, and a short video of me giving the Nova death up the hill!!

I managed to loose my clutch on the way up (stuck to the floor, thought I'd snapped the cable) so carried on without it, then it came back to life all by itself, very weird! Also managed to fill my breather tank, AGAIN! Will have to do the breather mod before PV!! Looked strange having an oil leak from my bonnet and headlight area!!

Some of the best roads ever mate!! If itsa really sunny day you can't get moved in that car park for bikers, they love it up there!!
One old guy had dropped his bike about 30seconds away from the cafe, he looked sore as he hobbled back in lol

Carb's sound awesome chris, really miss mine :(

Your engine's doing a fair bit of breathing tho, breather mod should help alot!

lol, we had the same problem with Chris T's at Combe (now my engine). TYhe breather was blocked up so it was spewing oil out of the oil cap at high revs :0 Breather mod will solve it :)
