CelicaBabe Posted 8 January 2011 Report Posted 8 January 2011 Not many from Cumbria as such but we LOTS of North Yorkshire/North East members
Rad Posted 8 January 2011 Author Report Posted 8 January 2011 I think most Cumbrian Celica drivers must be 'farts with no hearts' Rad
Rad Posted 8 January 2011 Author Report Posted 8 January 2011 (edited) Most of the gen 7 brigade are also those nearing retirement age, Celica's are supposed to be for young lads/lasses and those going thro a mid life crisis!! Rad Edited 8 January 2011 by Rad
philip27 Posted 8 January 2011 Report Posted 8 January 2011 (edited) Although I live in Nottingham I am often up in Cumbria with my Gen 7. Although I cant say I see that many Celica's up there though. Edited 8 January 2011 by philip27
Rad Posted 8 January 2011 Author Report Posted 8 January 2011 (edited) Where in Cumbria do you visit? There's plenty around Workington but none with any club stickers fitted. Edited 8 January 2011 by Rad

I pay 1083 fully comp, all mods declared. I had a gen 5 gt at 18, then a gen 5 gt-four at 20, now I have the gen 6 gt-four. The gen 5 gt4 only cost about 600-700 quid a year to insure, which wasn't bad and at that time I was getting quotes on the gen 6 gt4 for aboiut 900. The mods bumped it up this year by about 150 though. Where you from then, workington? Some nice roads around there, good for a burn about! Plus you're near camskill incase your car breaks down. Excellent! Edited 8 January 2011 by joe588
cavegod Posted 8 January 2011 Report Posted 8 January 2011 i can see barrow from bedroom window does that count as cumbria lol, i'm just a few miles south of lancaster and 5 mile to the left on the coast. Celica is out of bounds at mo till it's finished.
Rad Posted 9 January 2011 Author Report Posted 9 January 2011 (edited) Some roads are awesome, when there's no pot holes, the best road has been spoiled by the inclusion of SPECS radars - the A66 alongside Bassenthwaite Lake - used to be great throwing your car along that dual carriageway. I think Top Gear had a heavy metal petrolhead (can't remember his name) on who loved Cumbrian roads, I think he was from Alston east of Penrith. I've only used Camskill a few times for tyres, nothing else. Most of their trade is internet I think. Edited 9 January 2011 by Rad
philip27 Posted 9 January 2011 Report Posted 9 January 2011 I'm usually around Cockermoth visiting my family but do head into workington. I know what you mean about the road on the a66 shame about the cameras but it was all ways going to happen at some point. If you want a really great road though id suggest Honnister Pass stunning road and the views are amazing loads of nice photo opportunities along the way as well.
FlybyWyre Posted 9 January 2011 Report Posted 9 January 2011 How many of us are from Cumbria as I don't see anyone posting topics etc from up here.Rad Born in Whitehaven and now in south Cumbria. Used to go to Rowrah for karting and have passed my midlife crisis! I reckon there are as many Celicas as anywhere else despite the huge potholes we now have.
Rad Posted 10 January 2011 Author Report Posted 10 January 2011 I live in High Harrington and there's 5 Gen 7's here that I know of. To all non Cumbrians, H Harrington is spread over about a mile. Loads others knocking about West Cumbria.
