Hiya,

we had some big meets here last year and it would be great to get another one going - I have cajoled 2 friends in the local press to cover the meet in the local papers again...

The route might be Kenilworth to Stratford Upon Avon - down the Fosse :D...Beautiful scenery - lovely driving roads and some cracking historical sights for pics...

Some dates might be...8/9th 15/16th

Last meet before Crimbo - and possibly the best excuse to let "Them" trot along shopping...

What are your thoughts?
And whos up for it?

Meet details –

Starting Point – Meet at “The Saxon Mill” (CV34 5YN) (www.saxonmill.co.uk)

• For a few pics – Paint stroking – Beer and Snacks if you want.
• I will bring copies of the Route Map and it’s all straight forward.
• The day will probably go from 12noon – 3 or 4 o’clock - although you're all big and ugly enough to know when its time to go home!


• The drive is circa 45 miles and timed at just over an hour without stops,



This is on the route and offers a cracking photo opportunity “Chesterton Windmill”

At Halford (Town) we will head back on the A429

Arriving at the A46 – for a 2.5 mile blast up a nice DC

As I said I will take copies of the route to hand out – but I’m sure you’ll be able to figure it all out

FROM HERE IT’S HOME TIME !

you just wana show off the plus!!!what a cheek,i may make it? if i get the cambelt etc done,pretty decent last year

Yep, i'll go to another meet.

I may be up for the 8/9th, though it'll depend if I've got any committments re my track/race car. Can't do the 15/16th as I'm getting married This time I'll be allowed into the photos too!

Can I tag along with my quiet blend into the background STI.
Always nice to have a run out and say hello to people again, and just to keep the Coupe link I will transfer the air freshner over.

Hi, i might be up for this, depends on if i get my gtec2 fitted and rolling roaded in time, don't fancy giving it a big blast with just the novitech in.

Ash

Sounds good cjh! Just in time for me to show off my brand spanking new paintjob

I can do any day except the 16th Dec.

Looking forward to it.

James

Great lads...looking good so far...

We may start off at Kenilworth Castle for piccys...

But 6 and counting is great...
(Not counting the Jap import... .. seriously though - Crash's wagon sounds soooooooo sweet and meaty - and the spoiler is so subtle.. )

James - what colour - i hope its Red...

Red indeed. VERY red now and not the girly pink it was a few weeks ago.

James

Could well be up for this, the Kenilworth meets are always great and it'd be good to meet up with the usual suspects again . Coupe in for service and MOT on 7th so it should be running nicely for this- will confirm nearer the time.
Paul

So are we going to be stopping for some lovely pub grub ?

I might be able to go depending on if I can get my engine back together by then. Have to convoy with Rich24 from Banbury.

Sounds good

OK..

So up to 9 ish then...so realistically about 5-6 definates...

Pubs are lurvely in this neck of the woods...

I will scope out a few more with the prerequisite - massive car park...

And that is just to get my spoiler in !!!!

My old Sprinty is in those pictures. R.I.P baby....

here's some more photos from previous meet with Liquid doing his 'catalogue' pose

Sod it I'll come, is there a definite date set?

Hi All,

I will suggest the following

Meeting -
Sunday 9th December
11:30 am / 12 noon at Kenilworth Castle

Running through to 3/4 O'clock ish - Unless you have a Jap import, in which case you can leave at any point you wish - As Crash is coming along in his mobile ironing board (Mitsi Evo 4 ii think ) he has advised that the going rate is £5 for a bag of shirts...


Let me know if your all cool with that...

I will contact the local Newspaper and see if we can get some more press coverage/Professional Piccys !!

I should be able to make this , depending on traffic on the A1 etc as I'll be driving back from Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Wrong day, wrong time, wrong weekend. Sorry - won't be able to make it again.

Mind you, given my popularity at the last meet - all the better for you, cj!! The only people who turned up were the organiser and someone who has never met me!!

If I park in amongst the Coupes, I dont think the camera man would even notice I was in the shot.
I will tag along behind but dont go to fast round the twisties as I have handling issues.

Sounds perfect cjh!

Me and Alsion are both definites. We might even bring a coupe each if I can get the old girl going as well.

James

well you've got 2 kids, you must have got her going a couple of times before...

unfortunately i can't make this, coop is running VERY badly and is booked in to motormech for a look at....

lol @ proccy

Sorry to hear that you're running rough and hope you get it sorted - would have been nice to see you.

James

Engine now running. Although slightly noisy and leaking inlet manifold gasket but should be there.

Thanks everyone...

Looks like a decent turnout...

Can we just have a quick yeah or neah?
I dont want to get the photographer out to take pics of my car and Crashs'

So we will follow the same route - just meet at kenilworth castle (Free Car Parking-Nice Pics)
