Looks like a nice place to live. I'm pretty near by in Huddersfield. The rally course look quite cool, the only track I been to around the area is the 3 sisters, which is in manchester.

Ahh I spy The Thatch in your pics Mk2 fan

Spent more than one night out in Poulton, usually ending up in Cubes. I worked at Warton before I came out here :wink:

I'd rather go out in Poulton than Blackpool but that is my age showing lol

I have a mate called Brooksy who is also in Texas, he's flying to UK this weekend to get married in Poulton as it's his home town.

Small world eh? 8)

I live nearer :P

Poulton and Poulton-le-fylde (sp?)... any difference?

Looks pretty sedate in the pics, but i can't really comment having never been there :oops:

Not seen you around on JW lately... how were your exams (we discussed them in a PM), I've still got a maths exam on monday... it sucks.

Anyways, thanks for the quick tour, the rally track looks fun (though i should pass my driving test before i think about anything like that :P )

If I am right, they are the 'same' place - similar to people from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where I guess the locals just say Newcastle :wink:

hey guys yes they are the same place :)

TRANSAM2001 - your rite this is an extremely small world :p at the moment i too like going out in poulton much more than blackpool as blackpool is full of scumbags. the Cube is quite a decent place now, tried to get a job in there the other week but failed as i only noticed there wasa ojb rite at the end and didnt have time to fill everything in :( I wouldnt of seen your mate this weekend as I have been at that race track / army base, our rally club held an event there and i was there for 8 hours on saturday setting up (followed by a few pints at the pub) and then i was there from 6am till 9pm on sunday racing, i had a great time on the corner that i was in chage of there were a few crashed, mk2 escorts came flying round hit the kirb and knocked wheels off / broke half shafts etc - there will be one or two pics of this later but only phone camera pics as cameras werent allowed in atall

Thenumber1 - yeah i havent been on here for a while and thans my exams went medium lol, hows about yours ?
