Prom Night to the Rescue

Zebra4 — Sun, 10 Jul 2011 15:12:53 +0100

I missed the last "Coffee n Chips" night in Brighton because it fell on the same day as my anniversary. This in itself wouldn't have been too much of a problem if I hadn't been AWOL in my ride on so many occasions prior (the worst being home at 2am on a Sunday when I should have been home at 2pm the previous day! - still I did take in ACE Cafe & Chelsea cruise)

Coffee & Chips in Brighton

Zebra4 — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 14:38:15 +0100

Having missed a couple of these meets already this year in the main due to working, a sunny Friday evening & not having to work made the trip down to Brighton for the Coffee & Chips meet, a "no brainer".

So it was straight home from work, a quick shower & change, then throw the covers off my ride and head south - when you get to the sea turn left onto Madeira Drive, Brighton.

Wheels Day 2011

Zebra4 — Thu, 12 May 2011 11:34:33 +0100

For some Good Friday has prominence as a religious point marking the start of Easter, for the less religious it marks the start of a long Bank Holiday weekend that offers much in the way of chocolate & good living!

For most petrol heads Good Friday is known as the day that the Surrey Street Rodders hold "Wheels Day". Because the event is always held on Good Friday it does move between the months of March and April. This can make it a lottery when it comes to weather and the recent events before this year were no exception.

This year Good Friday fell on 22nd April and how fortunate it did, because the weather was stunning - a fantastically warm and sunny day with hardly a cloud in the sky - not the kind of weather usually experienced in April and certainly not when going to Wheels Day!

Fast Five is the fifth and latest offerring from the Fast and Furious stable.

The plot (as we understand it) is based of the familiar main characters of Brian O'Connor and Dominic Torretto teaming up once again, but this time on the wrong side of the law.
