is there anybody outhere that would be up for a meet up in midlands area seeing as there are alot of owners in this area + i have yet to meet any fellow owners maybe 1st sat in nov?

Yes defo i'm up for a meet....but more like 1st Dec would be better for me...

I'd be up for a local meet.. Where about's in Leicester are you JJN? I've not seen any red ones around.

Cool im in loghborough mate could do most weekends acctually but sat the best for me if anybodys up for it we could cruise to stretton kart track in leics and do dome proper racin then chill at some pub! fancy kartin anyone then a beer?

depending on date i'm up for it - try and get mcmike, mr & mrs jap, iceberg maybe, maxxer, jbt, carlt, europa (does he still "coop"? nigel? could be good, just 40 mins from where we normally meet...

Depending on date,i'd be interested in another meet.

Yes - definitely interested. A mids meet is definitely overdue. Late Nov best for me. These things always soom to have a much better uptake if you give 4/5 weeks notice.
I should have my car back from the paintshop by then as well

James

i bet wild horses wouldn't keep you away when that's done lol...

I'm in Banbury, not exactly midlands but i'd go to another.
Starcity ?
Any chance of you lot coming down to a Oxford meet ?

aghhhhhhhh.......

would love to attend...! But yet agin car is poooorly.

well if the majority would like to meet up later then say a coup-le of weeks then later is fine with me il make this priority as to whatever im doing,regarding karting maybe we should discuss this when we meet and sort for next time just an idea.let me know your thoughts be nice to meet some of you guys,cant belive i didnt discover this forum ages ago,im on me 3rd 20vt!!!!

would be great to travel down to oxford in convoy yeah im up for it!

i could always pop down in my run about just to meet a couple of you guys!

karting sounds goood....

ill have to bring my kart along lol yeah wright!!! lol

depending on work i could be up for this

Fccuking sold!

...er, wherever that is!

Man, no meets near me all year, then 3 come along almost all at once?! Typical!

Just checked - pretty cheap actually! http://www.stretton2000.com/pricemain.htm

Cani come without the coupe?,its in bits at the moment but wouldnt mind seeing a few more coupes for inspiration and chat in person to a few of you

count me in as its over my way

wel im up for karting as long as least a couple other of you guys are, and those that dont want too for watever reason should still come down and have a watch- bye the end of next week latest il need to know who wants to kart so can book it( depending on numbers may not have to book) hopefully we can all agree the beat date in the next week. Iv come up with meeting at donnington park car park as this is pretty well known and sort of central! this could be a mega day!

all I hear about is "I Can't wait till my cars ready"

Sounds a brill idea!! Cant wait....

I am defo up for this, even if it is cold
My mate will come with me as his coop is still going through its mods. We will both do the karting too, sounds great fun.

Just let me know the date and now much for karting and i will be there.

Ash

cool numbers are looking good! Bear in mind folks this meet will have to be a saturday as 90% of the time they have club racing on sundays. i personaly would like 2 sort this for about 3 weeks time but lets see what majority say,i will speak to stretton 2morrow to see what dates available.we all gona go to a pub for 1 after or before yeah!!!!

Going to the pub after would be best i think good relax after a good fight on the karts

not that i'm important to this event happening, but i can make wks 3rd/17th nov, 1st & 15th dec....

If you want to organise and exclusive Karting booking, I guess you're going to need about 15 people min and will probably need to book this for about a months time at the absolute earliest. If they are a popular venue, you can expect weekends to be booked out for months in advance...

btw, can't make 1st Dec, I'm organising some Karting with Piston Heads at Sutton Circuit.

I fancy a meet but money is tight (something to do with a fuel thirsty car bought with a loan!) so may have to pass on the karts part.

dont worry about stretton karting i know the chaps there,anyway there isnt a min requirement.

maybe we just do full grid practice seesions that way its only £20 quid a time-and fastest lap of the races is the best man

Man, would I even have to turn up? Hardly any fun if it's a foregone conclusion.

We'd only need 10 people for a mini race or a mini GP. That's where the fun is.

im up for tracking

I'm up for it, stretton is only ten mins from my house, then its cross country blast to a pub!!
I'll be in the bravo (hopefully running this weekend) but its got a coupe heart and soul (read engine)



Steve

so you got some expeience then av ya! what sort of karting you done ? anyways if thats what peolpe want then we will do that if they aint bothered then we will do that.

I WILL STATE DATES AVIALABLE FOR KARTING TOMORROW
and then we can decide on the best date.

nah, just once or twice a year, with work lads out for a laugh. i'll suggest the old library in oadby for the pub after, rear car park, nice place, within 'quick race' distance of the track......

yeah your suggestion is cool mate,soz for confusion my quest was for wellinformed he sounds like he could be a wee bit nippy round the track!

mmm, your on-board vid equipment might slow you down...

Good point. I knew I should've bought that mini helmet cam! It was too tempting p0rno for me to resist tho!

You think they might..?

Hi,just spoke to stretton kartung and the dates available are as follows
17th november anytime before 4pm
24th november free all day
1st december morning free.

Can you all please tell me what dates you can make it and i will then ring stretton and book it.please feel free to come down even if you cannot bring your beloved baby with you( your coop obviously) also if you dont want to kart.Please be quick as poss replying to this as dont want to miss these open dates.Cheers

Just had a look on the web-site, and Stretton Karting is just down the road from my Parents.

[dreamy voice] Leicester Air Show, ahh!![/dreamy voice]

Might be interested.

How about that pub in what used to be Stoughton Farm Park? Cow and Plough? Never been there but the local folks regard it as tops.

open for suggestions mate,id go there aswell as somewhere else-chance for another litlle cruise me thinks!

jjn, 17th or 1st dec for me, easy either way as long as we end up in a pub!

list for definate so far: i think 1st dec should be the date to go for.
Proccy 17th nov/ 1st dec
Cooter All dates
Coupe dummy 17th/24th nov
Jaip All dates
Ash p All dates
Wellformed 17th/24th nov
JBT all dates
Stuart 81 17th nov/dec 1st
Dan 17th nov

cant go on dec 1st as im on my way to the millenium stadium to beers then watch the welsh rally!!anyonthers are fine,but dont mind giving it a miss if it is

come on then you spanners! give me some details on whats what ! or are you backing out now? who has experience in karting? if we end up having teams dont want unfair teams you see.

Can't do the 1st Dec and if it's earlier than that I'll be turning up in the Accord... Just don't go too fast!

Done Karting about 15 times, but I'm used to getting penalised and being lumbered with thh fat boy of the group. So I always prefer individual events!

Could be up for this but will have to attend in the alfa as my bravo is in bits at the moment.
Im in leicestershire so im easy.

all dates cool with me

All dates fine with me, my bro wants to come aswell as my mate. So i should be able to get 3 :), Dec 1st would be best for my mate.

Ash

hmm mixture of cars by the look the coupe,welforms accord,jbt alfa,me zafira sri lol
good coupe club lol

more like a variant club

lol shall i come in me golf gti to add to the mix!!!! lol

I've checked my work load & its a no go for me i'm affraid

My girlfreind is saying im a sado for being on this forum lots! is she right? Also she doesnt want to come with me on day-she has no respect for my coop i think she is jealous that i have another beautiful italian girl in my life!! anyways cmon get your details down here asap as last thing we want is a late decision then to find circuit booked!!

i'm still game, 17th nov or 1st Dec....not experienced at karting but i'll give it a fekin go!!! it's only pain ennit?

1st dec fine for me.

JBT i didnt know you were in leicestershire!? Will have to meet up when your car is back together!?

Huh? Surely 17th Nov would be the best date as that's the only one everyone listed can attend?

well its looking that way at the min,im gona book it tommorow so if anybody else wants to come let me know today,and if the numbers arent there then maybe some of us could bring a mate.

I can probably get some 'ringers'.

ok matey lets see who puts there name down and i will book it tommorow morn.have you been streeton before?

stretton i meant!

I'd like to come to this. Would prefer 1st dec, maybe able to do the 17th Nov.

Iv added you to the list dude.

Looks like im going to be booking the 17th nov for the guys that are listed in the morn,unless there is a mad rush tonight of people wanting a diff date!

put me down as well.. 17th should be ok

Dan your on the list.

17th is fine mate.

Steve

Stretton? Nope. Always excited by new tracks!

Confirm I can be there for the 17th, but in the Accord I think... maybe... I'll bring my camcorder too.

if its the 1st Dec -

i will bring along a new toy....

COOOOOOOL!!!


Steve

To all:Could you let me know when you have paid-cheers.

I can probably get some ringers if needed.

If 20 people is the max, I'll ask some mates about this tonight. Some Piston Heads might be interested too.

Can i please stress the intended reason for this day is to meet fellow coupe owners,if you have a coop but are not karting please still come along.The place we are to meet is Donnington park front car park(outside museum) try and be there for 10.00am want to leave at 10.30-for the cruise to stretton,then cruise to pub afterwards ;).

Yeah thats fine.

Has nobody paid there deposit yet???????????????????????????

Send some PMs. I will on Friday, if I don't need to be reminded...

This is the bugger about organising karting, getting people to commit by parting with some cash!

i will make payment fri

i'm struggling to make this now guys, it looks like i have to work saturdays from now on until christmas - i won't know for sure until two days before...

Deadline tomorrow 6pm for all your payments sorry to go on about this but not one person that i know of has paid yet,even if only 5 of us end up wanting to race we can still pay deposit and have 15mins races,anyway i asure you when you get to the track if your not karting you wish you have had its a real nice litlle track,and the karts are pretty quick and maintained well.

will do chap,will do....
You mofos better watch out as im on a diet special for this event.Lighter=quicker

If the tracks wet you wish you had of kept eating the burgers!! lol

Phoned today to pay deposit and she wanted to take the £100 for all the 10 ............ nooooooo anyways she has taken my £10 and apparently i am the only one thats called.

she advised that today is abad day to call and later tonight or even tomorrow would be prefered as she is not in the office where the card machine is.

Good Luck all

Best hope for rain then cooter.And bigger seats.

not heard much though?!

Just looked in my wallet, looked at my fuel guage, looked in the bank and everything is empty so going to have to bale on this totally. gutted.

Well the numbers arent looking good at the min!! even so the few that are karting will still have mega fun,if you cant afford karting please still come for a cruise and a beer-thought the midlands was supposed to be coupe heavy!!

it is, theyre all in pieces!

what am I doing in this thread?

I will not be able to make it i am at work in the morning till 12:30, i knew it would fall like this, its a pain.
Sorry to let you lot down, when i worked it out i wasn't in work that day, but now my boss is having the day off i have to be in

Ash

Ok dude so you coming a cruise to the pub then yeah!!!

Shame. You had a couple of mates up for the karting too?



It still stuns me how many people accept this kind of BS from their employers. Regardless of what I may have planned, the answer is always to politely tell them to enjoy that day off, just like I will be enjoying mine too! No-one can MAKE you work...

Another one drops JBT gotta work till 2!! i cannot belive that they are scared of being beat on the track!lol.Where you coming from wellformed i get my car back fri eve and fancy some driving il meet ya half way if you want??

I can't believe these peope have bought a car so far beyond their means they have to work weekends to fund them! Working weekends is no life at all, it's slavery!

I'm coming from MK, so I was going to go past Sutton to get to Donny. You should come to MK and we'll go hunting some expensive meat...

I think Brumjim is still up for both karting and meet. I can get some ringers probably, if you want?

It's just a shame this is a bit too far away for me. 'Real' midlands I could make, but this is kind of south-midlands, or northern-south, if you get me?!

'Team Coupe' out hunting in pairs.. now that WOULD be interesting

Yeah bring along some ringers mate,and i will prob come over mk il let you for def thurs or fri dude.

Donny is east midlands dude, just come along dont you like driving your coupe!!lol

OH, last i heard it was oxford way?! shite i really should read these things more thoroughly!

in that case.. let me check the old diary and let you know!!

No mate not oxford its a midlands meet!! hope to see you there.

Wheres the pub going to be ? I'm fitting the Billies in the morning so i doubt i'll make it to the karting.
So i'll probably just meet you at the pub.
What time are you going to be there ?

We will prob decide at karting mate,where would you like to meet? you will have to pm me your mobile.cheers

If i can get the car in my dads place first thing i 'should' make it while your karting, i'll pm you my number.

After my trip to motormech last tuesday my details are as above. however i am waiting on a cheque back from paul due to fat fingers and a keyboard. so if post person pops it in the letterbox in the morning i will be off to the bank and all will be ok.

fingers crossed

Did you pay your deposit mate?

i did yea

Well hope you dont join the list of letdowns dude-keep us informed of whats what.cheers

I not got a choice about going in work what time will you lot be at the pub, might try to get down after work, I am fitting a h&s dp after work should only take about 1 hour on the ramp. Also whats the pub called and location.

Welformed you need every penny you can when you have a coop and being a mechanic you don't get good wages either . Only benefit is i can do the work myself on the ramp with the right tools

Ash

Ok dude you do the best you can to get to pub.Il have a think and list the pub of choice on here 2moz-think thats best then people can turn up if they change minds.

Thanks for the lift Cooter but im having to pull out of this one as i have got to work.I cant ring in sick either as im the only key holder at the weekend.
Fccuk sake.

Rest assured though Johnny i will have your car lowered and on increased boost for the run over there.May even have your guage installed as well.
If your coming back to coalville Cooter let me know as i havent got any plans after 6 ,so hows about a few down the Ville.

Hi johnny, i need to talk to you about that engine, my sis doesn't live in the house anymore and the landloard wants it moved

I have been trying to get hold of you but no answer from your phone (have you changed number).

Chat soon

Ash

No i threw the phone at the wall as it kept crashing.Sort of meant i had no phone for a bit.

How far is your sisters house from you.
ps i never got a invite to the hose warming party.

I like the sound of that JBT the missus is out all day/night so when your done and ready give me a call and we will hit the vodka redbulls to start with!!lol.

arr right thats probably why i couldn't get through, the house is about 2 mins from mine, but will need to get a time from the landlord as my sis has moved out now. She wasn't there long enough to have a house warming party i kept bugging her though

Ash

Ps sorry to go off course on the posts.

Rite you hoons!! any body have any good ideas on where to meet after karting-somewhere roughly 20mins from stretton so we can ave a bit of a drive!! also people who just coming pub will prob need a postcode for satnav so if you could source that ,that would help-if nobody agrees anything then we will just stop at stretton(thay have a bar) until the army turn up!!!

lol what time roughly do you think you will finish go-karts, got afew things to do to my car before i come over.
Can't do it in work time as i have a service and brake pads to do on a doblo van

Ash

id say 13.30-if you pm me your numb i could txt you where and when if its not decided on here by fri eve.cheers
