I will be there,
nice to see the locals again.

I am at Oulton park on the saturday so if any digs are going spare im up for that,will stay overnight.
Proccy might also benefit from this as well.

In fact i will invite myself and proccy and Niff to Mattm's house.
Done.

I've managed to get this weekend off so would love to pop down to this.

Anyone else coming from the north that i can tag along with on the way down?

Im on holiday then I think!!!! I fancy this !

I'm also going to the Hopetoun House meet the following weekend. Was trying to make Tatton Hall as well but need to work then so Mitcar was the nearest to me.

Paul, let me know if its definitely on and i'll meet you on your way down.

Willdo Rob. May make a weekend of it.
Any of you local chaps recommend a b/b hotel type place?

I'm just waiting for the organisers to get back with a time.

I'm tagging along with a few Alfa's (we're meeting at Bolton Services M61 @ 08.30) then meeting the rest at the Shell garage on Hyde Rd, end of the M67, then going over the Snake Pass before ending up at the Peak Village retail village to pick up some others before we enter Chatsworth. Anyone fancy it?

Oi!!!!!!!!!

Is anyone coming up from London way to this? I may be interested

Also patch good business oportunity this! Could have a dirty demo coupe detailed to perfection

Just realized the yellow peril is in need of a MOT come this Saturday will try and get it done though fingers crossed

He's got a minging red one lined up and a load of flyers that will hopefully be handed out by fellow coop members on the day.

If we can attract some of the more prestige car owners for Phil, he'll be able to charge them a fortune and save the 'mate's rates' for us

Is this a racist thing? Iv been ejaculated from the list!!!!!
Is it because I iis Scotch?

Hope that's all sorted now and that everyone's attending.

Thanks T,you know how us Ethnic Minorities take the hump easily lol!
Im driving down on Saturday,having the night at the New Bath then making my way to event Sunday morning,would appreciate meeting up prior to attending there though!
All things being equal,Jane will be riding shotgun!

Not sure what I'm doing myself yet Paul.

Maybe get in touch with porkypaul, as he knows the areas better than me.

Ok T willdo

Paul, i'm working saturday so will be heading down early sun morning.
I'll be stopping off in Manchester to pick up Sofia on the way down, she'll be coming back from Gran Canaria but doesn't want to miss a meet

Should still be there around half 8ish but haven't a clue where to meet anyone!

I'll be posting up a meeting point tomorrow I know where the pub is but can't think of the name :-)

Sorry folks, I'm going to have to drop out of this one as I have to work now.

im still coming, but at dinner time i have to pop to a pub around the corner from chatsworth for a birthday dinner for my grandad, will be coming back after the dinner.

Worth meeting up with these?

Peak Retail village sounds like a plan,esp if its closed lol!

I'll be there if I can find a baby sitter for the youngest - no point taking a Mondeo to an Italian car meet!!!

Porky - Have we been told a time that we have to be there?

I hope its a nice hot dry weekend again like last year

I'm still waiting but I think it should be the same time as last year so if we meet at the peak retail place at 10.30 we should be ok.

Cool!! Sound like a plan!

That's ideal for me as I need to be in Manchester at 8am.

Can you give a post code please Paul?

i might pop along to this instead, since mario dropped out of TOTB (yes i know you're as surprised as i am ) and Nigel is a possible non-runner

I think this is the correct post code DE4 2JE

That's right Dan.

Hi chaps,thats us about to set off to Matlock,so all things being equal we will see you at the Retail Park at 10.30 tomorrow.If there is any change to plan,my mobile is 07729188817,if someone could phone and tell me as I wont have tinterweb other than phone and its pants lol!
Drive safe ,looking forward to meeting you all!
Cheers Paul

Looking forward to meeting you as well Paul see you tomorrow.

What what?? Why didn't I see this post sooner?

Anyway, I've craftily sweet talked the misses and am now coming down

Is there any meeting point? and/or any cars driving up from west mids way?

See you all tomorrow, looking forward to it!

Absolutely gutted to be missing this one

if you have a look futher up this page you'll see where were meeting and at what time fella.

I'm also gutted you can't make it Bob.

So just to be sure then, its the peak retail village on the chatsworth road at 10.30?

I'd hate to be lost in the wilds of the peak district

Yeah that's right mate. See you tomorrow.

not with the roads round there you wouldn't

heheh yea good point

see you tomorrow chaps

if im not there in the morning, ill be there after dinner,

i have a birthday meal at a pub round the corner from chatsworth but if your all not meeting till around half ten it seems pointless me turning up for half an hour to have to then leave, so ill probley be there after dinner

See you all in the retail park!

Bring us me back some nice roast beef and potatoes niff

See you tomorrow

i may still end up meeting you all, cant really be arsed with the whole family round a table thing

we're your real family niff

That's right, so make sure you bring those roast potatoes and the beef. I can cope without gravy if that's too awkward and might spill in the car

Sorry chaps. I aren't going to be there tomorrow. Had some more car issues at Oulton today.

Sorry to hear that Matt

Looking forward to this tomorrow, and it looks like the weather will be on our side too. Mayzon, I'll keep my eye's open for you on the way up and we'll convoy home if you like mate.

Proccy if you go, can you wear your peach one .....

He's keeping the peach one for TOTB

Maybe we should have a TOTB jumper contest

Great - I have a Val Doonican Special Edition, I'll dig it out

Well, thats me just in after a 13hr shift.

Glad to hear the weather will hold out, we've had torrential downpours today.

Quick detour through Manchester in the morning then hopefully meet you guys at the retail park around 10sih.

See you tomorrow Rob

Will do T,
i hope the roads are as clear as last time

Have a good day,did you get sorted out Rob?

Yeah Dave, done it on line like you said

spot on

excellent day with the usual suspects and some new people (to me) - nice to meet you folks and hope to do so again!!

Lovely job everyone, great day all round

See you all again soon!

Fantastic day some great cars. And a great turn out by us. Great to meet everyone new and old faces. That 458 and F40 were my favs.

was a great turn out!! Great day too!
was good to meet y'all and put a face to the name!

nice to meet everyone, some stunning cars and the sun was out all day, see you all again soon.

Quality show yet again, nice to meet some new faces note to self: lay off the pop the night before a meet in future photos on my facebook Tom Dabbs, only add me if you're sane ;o)

Great event, good to see everyone and thanks for not killing the kids!

there was more chance of them killing me lol

Excellent day, thanks for organising Paul

New gazebo/event shelter seemed very good too and also impressed a few other people who came along and asked us about it.

Was lovely to meet up with all the usual people and nice to meet some new ones too

I saw a Sprinty coming towards me, out of Stockport, which wasn't at the meet and a black one in Stockport.

Also had a play with a Porsche on the way home too.

I thought it said GTO on the back, but realise now, it may have been a GT3?

It's not like me to do that with other cars really, but I'd pulled out in front of him on the M56, not realising the speed he was doing and knew I was in his way, so put my foot down to get past the cars and out of his way.

Anyway, won't mention the rest on here, due to the nature of events that took place but we were playing until I turned off for Wrexham.

Was a good laugh and resulted in lots of thumbs up, waves, etc and he was also kind enough to warn me about some coppers sitting in a layby.

What sort of bhp are the GT3's? He had loads of torque and power and was much faster than me

How weird, I had a play with a GT3 today on the way back from TOTB Well, I say play, it was more like cat and mouse (and I was the mouse) he wasn't even trying. They are about 400-odd BHP I think. One was running 12-sec quarter miles totally standard today.
Sounds like you all had fun, no wonder there was only a few coopsters at Elvington

they have 381 bhp and 385nm of torque, 0-62 is 4.5 and top speed 190mph

All that said i still think only old and gay people drive these cars lol

( the figures are for the standard 911 gt3, not the rs version )

so niff, jbt - did you hear my exhaust from across the river when we left?? how sweet eh?

she sounded gorgeous mate, what system you running under it ?

i can't reveal that mate, top secret

im guessing its a product of motormech,

anyway it was the best sounding coop ive ever herd, upto yet.

Great day, good weather and company and a little convoy home. Cheers everyone, till the next time then ...

I'll post a vid later, just sat down

Yeah, I was there too remember

I heard it as well and it sounded absolutely

Well, me and fi are down in Bromyard and just checked in to our regular haunt. Spent the last couple of hours at Phil's where he gave the coop a good going over with his magic and she's come up a treat, hadn't been waxed since April prior to the Bristol meet.
Phil, you might call it therapy, I call it a conscientious obsession, and you are a legend in your own right

A brilliant turnout and well worth the trip down, it's always great to meet new members and thanks for all the compliments, the hard work was worth it just for that.

Well done to steamer for making the epic journey, I'll see you in Edinburgh next weekend mate

Explains why he was a lot faster and pulled away a hell of a lot quicker than me then lol

He wasn't old anyway and we didn't hang around to chat, so didn't find out if he was gay

Video uploaded here

cool little video there patch

A few snap i took, nothing great though...

Good video there patch.

Hi folks,just back home,had a leisurely drive back,after buying a nice cheap bike jacket in Matlock Bath!
Great event well worth coming down too,hope more of us Northerners will come next year,fantastic cars,venue etc!
Really great to meet new people and some old ones too!The standard of the Coops are getting higher every meet,they really are coming into their own!
Looking forward to meeting you all again soon!

Nice seeing you all there folks,

Proccy,yes it sounded smart.
Is that a motormech custom job?

yes john.....and thanks, it does scare the kids though!

Looks like a great meet nice vid patch
Nice custom T shirt Rob (2.4 20v turbo FCCUK) do you have anything that isnt custom??? lol
