We are doing the Santa buggy run around Birmingham again this year meeting at the same McDonalds -109 Coventry Rd, Birmingham B10 0RJ at 11.00am on Saturday 22nd December (weather dependent). Dress yourselves and your buggy up, have a drive around Birmingham, Erdington and Sutton and stop at the pub for lunch and a warm up :D
;-)up
We will be attending in the baja unless the weather is shocking
Just a bump up, but the forecast is not good so hopefully they will be wrong again. Following Allans example gold chocolate money has been sourced to pay off the police. traffic wardens and security staff encountered on route.

Pieces of 8 are in a bag so they would all get eaten driving there, the fiddley gold cover is hard to remove with gloves on.
The weather forecast isn't looking good for this Saturday so we are going to postpone and attempt to do this the following Saturday 22nd December, meeting at the same time and place ;-)up

Might be able to make this one now as I'm off that weekend not this weekend :-*
;-)up may be snowing saturday.
Well the weather lady this morning said Saturday will be fine, dry and about ten degrees centigrade so the 22nd is looking good for the cruise, see you all at Mc Donalds B10 0RJ at 11am.
yes see you all Saturday 8)
see you Saturday ;-)up
What you need is a mod to change the title of the thread to the 22nd.
I'd have loved to come up and do this, but it's my Dad's birthday and I have Christmas food to pickup too that day

Great effort.
Think I can spot a couple of real turkeys in all these colourful shots ?!
Glad the weather Gods smiled on you all.
And we stayed dry this year ;-)up
The lead buggy was seen passing gold coins to the occupants of a police van at the traffic lights, this deed ensured a problem free cruise ignoring double white lines and restrictions ;D

Keith, you wouldn't believe how easy it was for them to take my money. God help us if they tried spending it. All in all it was a great morning around Birmingham . Can't believe how many people took our pictures ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up ;-)up
A big thank you to all that came on Saturday, it was a great atmosphere with the shoppers. A special thank you to Bear and Kath for travelling up to join us and to Doug who tried to make it but had an accident in his buggy on the way. Thankfully. he is alright and would have made people smile as he stood at the side of the road dressed as an elf as he waited for breakdown recovery. We missed you mate but glad you are safe ;-)(-; Merry christmas all from Santa 8)

Eek . . . :o
Not a nice thing to happen on a bend like that either
Glad to hear all are safe ;-)up
Doug is fine, no injuries. The steering malfunction wasn't the cause of the accident though. He skidded and managed to spin it around, snapped a trackrod end and damaged a shocker when it slammed into the kerb and up the verge during the spin.
Good Doug's ok and not an expensive fix
Thumbs up all those who have skidded their buggy, . ;-)up
Easily done and the luck of the draw whether you get away with it
Gold is 11.76 gram . Careful with the twinkle. Wish we were nearer ;-)(-;
