There's a bit of a mini-meet next Saturday if you guys are interested. Around midday.

Couple of lads from Leicester and RetroRaz plus myself and another member from Sheffield. The more the merrier.

Where at?

It's the place where me and Eddie (when he did my steering wheel and seats) were driving round in circles trying to sort the power steering out.

Any other of you chaps interested from Nottingham?

There a lot of avg speed cameras on the 614 between Clumber and Nottingham?

Where abouts you from? I'm usually in Warmsworth visiting my family and Rotherham visiting hers...

There's nothing to worry about between the Ollerton roundabout and Clumber on the 614, as far as fixed cameras go. Although I did pass a suspicious Octy VRS estate sat in the lay by on that stretch with the new traffic lights a week ago..

Further south, I think there are those lovely blue and yellow things unfortunately.

I'm 10 mins off the roundabout that joins the 614 with the A1.

As it happens, if you head east off the Thoresby roundabout on the 614, towards Retford, you'll find what appears to be the remnants of a Roman Road.  Good for vmax and brake testing. Apparently.

I used to love the 614 from Nottingham all the way to the A1 - lovely wide road and nice overtakes. Unfortunately it is littered with average speed cameras now and I've been caught near the Nottingham side sadly (luckily didn't get points).

I used to hammer my 205 GTI up and down those roads back in the late 90's when I was in my teens  :smiley:

Looking forward to meet you guys on Saturday.
