Boxhill 12th March 2006

[Scott_W]

Yup, Neil (SkyJawa), Karen (Nice/RVFBabe) and I went over to Boxhill. Below are some of the pictures (and I just randomly took them!)

The size of this bike was HUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!

We had a good ride back afterwards and although there were quite a few Sunday drivers out we managed to get past them and have some fun! I am sure the site of Neil and I dancing at some traffic lights would have been funny for those in their cars around us, it certainly was for Nice who was sat behind us! ;D We even had some young girlie singing to us at one point via our intercoms and I think the people in the Merc watching us dancing to Grease (whilst accompanied by the girlie singing) had huge big grins on their faces! ;D ;D

[SkyJawa]

Yep - cracking day!!! Got a few wobbles of the bars on some of those back b roads (a bit dodgy surfaced areas!!) but nothing major!! Thoroughly enjoyed it 8-)

As dancing at the lights was well funny!!! Wasn't aware of the people in the Merc until Nice said as we were driving off LMAO :-[ :D

[Mac]

No pics of u lot in all ur gear then?
Looks like a great day!

[Mac]

And all those bikes from the Ninja lot...got some good tastes in there...Hondas...Suzukis...lmao

[SkyJawa]

Good pics mate :)

[Scott_W]

Richie, I said to the others that we should have got your mobile before leaving! We weren't too sure which blue one was yours out of the two.

The three of us are nearer so we just went M25 from Guildford (which is where Neil is from) to Boxhill as we wanted a cup of tea! From there though we went cross country back towards Guildford down the A246.

[R1chie]

ah right, didn't realise you were that close.

i know where to pop in for a brew then the next time i'm at the Box lol

[GIXER_PAUL]

Looks like like a good day was had, i could have done with something like that today as i blew the gearbox on my 205 last night so have been sulking all day lol.

::) ::) ::) ::) :-/

[Amante_271]

Im so jealous!!

I stood outside a F*cking petrol station in Salisbury freezing my tits off fundraising for local kids with Cerebral Palsy!

Worthy cause I know but still F*cking cold & having seen the pics Im even more jealous!! Trouble of being car bound these days :(

Had a S40 Volvo pull out in front of me while overtaking a line of snail paced cars on a mile+ straight on the road between Devizes and Avebury! I was doing over the ton at the time! Thank God for ABS!!

Bugger mate :( I have my old 1.9 8v gearbox in the garage if it would help? Fits the Mi16 lump fine, and alot prefer it to the Mi16 box. I replaced it with a recon box, it works perfectly fine, just a slight crunch into 3rd which goes when the oil gets up to temp. There if you need it.............

[Mac]

Syncros on its way out then...same with my current 205...its ok if u drive and change gears gently...but if ragging it then its does grind...lol

Back on subject...great pics...

[Amante_271]

Had the synsro go on an old 405 SRi, I could only use 1,3 &5th! Still went like hot sh*t off a shovel!!!

[Scott_W]

Paul unlucky mate! :(

Cheers mate but ebay has come up trumps already got a new box off a 92 16oogti for a whole 31 quid :)

[Rich_aka_Baldspeed]

Cool pics, looks freezing though. Dancing wise keep it up boys and girls.

[SkyJawa]

Sorted :)

[Scott_W]

Rich, it was really weird when the girl started singing in to our helmets! I thought it was Nice to begin with! ;D

Paul, I just hope the gearbox is a good one! Fingers crossed......

[Dutch]

how many people have intercoms?/?

Used to have a limited edition 1.9Gti in miami blue. Had full leather seats, power stearing and grey carpets instead of red. It was a beast but got rid of it for the 206 Gti. Biggest mistake i made. Should have put a new engine in the 205.
If you only have faith in this new gear box to last a little while then if i were you, i would start saving now to send it up to scotland and have the 306 Gti6 lump put in it with gear box. last time i looked (which was a while ago) but it was about £1500. good luck with the car.

So when is the next box hill happening and how far did most people travel??

[SkyJawa]

Rich, it was really weird when the girl started singing in to our helmets! I thought it was Nice to begin with! ;D

I did too!!!! ;D Thought being around you for so long had finally turned her mental!!!! :P ;D

[Rich_aka_Baldspeed]

She was mental before hand probably...............sorry sis.

Dutch, most people on here run them. Mostly fitted by myself.............or Neil being my new fitting expert.

mine is one of the miami blue LTD editions aswell it has the mi16 lump, im not going down the gti-6 route though as the gearbag is alot wider.

[SkyJawa]

you can use the 8v and Mi16 gearboxes with the gti-6 engine which solves that prob as its still an XU series :)

Most still tend to go with the Mi alloy block rather than the cast "6" lump as its minimally more heavy than the 8v lump. The cast block is a bit more torquey mind and still a good conversion :)

LOL @ Rich re the fitting 8-)

[Rich_aka_Baldspeed]

I use more cable ties though!

[Amante_271]

I use more cable ties though!
I use stick backed plastic just like on Blue Peter!!! ;D

are the intercoms really good then?? any ideas on price as if i get one it would be one for me and one for my missus. She likes going pillion but is still al bit nervous and it would be good if i could talk to her and let her know what was happening next.

[Rich_aka_Baldspeed]

The worlds best mate if you run Autocom, for you and your misses talking bike to bike will cost you just over £350 or on a rider to pillion on one bike £169.99. PM me mate if you need to know anymore its my job.

[SkyJawa]

Damn you, I was only king of the cable ties for a week? :(

Dutch - they are superb. When I picked my 6R up I went with Scott having removed it from my px bike. It was so hard to provide directions or say if you needed petrol etc - with the intercom it was great :)

[Rich_aka_Baldspeed]

I am the king mate you are a slave.............:)

I have a feeling you'lll be seeing a right fist approaching your face when you come down next! ;) :D

[Rich_aka_Baldspeed]

Best get the step ladder out mate

[Scott_W]

how far did most people travel??

For us it was only about 30 miles, however for Richie and the others I'm sure it was a lot lot further!

aint that the truth!

200 mile round trip i reckon. i've been aching all day today after the coldness got to my old bones lol

[SkyJawa]

No rest for the wicked I say - was back on today to work, was a bit chilly but being on the bike is worth it! Though I'm sure the Jag XKR didn't think so ;) :D

[RVFBabe]

Hhhhmmm maybe not mental but a little crazy.

Of course this has helped me fit in with the Wallace clan

;) ;D

[RVFBabe]

Oh and I have the step ladder ready and waiting (standing by it with arms crossed tapping foot)

;) ;D

[SkyJawa]

HAHAHAHA! I can just picture you doing that!!!!! LMAO!! ;D

[Scott_W]

Neil, you know what, so can I!!!!

Oh, hold on, I've seen it in real life! ;D

[Rich_aka_Baldspeed]

[SkyJawa]
