north east yorkshire meet

[graemewelch]

just got my s60 back after waiting 13 weeks for it to be repaired so im a bit excited and thought why not try and sort a meet. any one intrested. could meet at scotch corner to make it central for a loot of areas

[foammanmark]

I could make it over from near Blackburn. I'm looking for advice from you guys as I've only had my T5 for 9 days and it's the standard car at the mo. Count me in! I can drive over the Blubberhouses, which is the only road that I've ever been done on for speeding( touch wood).

[t5_monkey]

I could do Scotch Corner this coming Sunday PM ?

You're down from Glasgow on Sunday? I could do that as well- Dazab, can you make it?

[t5_monkey]

Wonder if Nosh fancies this too ??

Yeah down in York - although my primary function is to bang the girl I'm seeing, see the parents and hopefully catch up with you guys :D

[smithson007]

Hey! So you'll be coming back over to Accy from the meet- we can have a race over the Blubberhouses, as I'll be going Home to Great Harwood. As my car is standard, I expect a five minute start on you, no make that ten minutes!

Yes mate back Accrington via Huncoat probably pay a visit to Ewood Park to.

My car is standard too so no need for a headstart!

Why would you want to go to Ewood Park, or is that a dig at me because of me being a Claret? Huncoat is the Home of Readview Volvo, my local independant Volvo garage. Is there where you're going? It will be good to drive back with you!

[graemewelch]

id like to think i could make sunday. hopfully i can get my emisions sorted by then. suspected full pressure sensor

Ewood park, well I thought i'd go pay Jack Walker a visit!

Yes I know Readview quite well, I have a friend who lives on the outskirts of Huncoat just off Burnley Road so off to see him then pay a trip to the folks down Peel Park Close in Accy.

Nice one- if we don't see each other on Sunday, we could always meet in the future at Huncoat/Accy.

[graemewelch]

are people meeting at scotch corner or thirsk. think thirsk could be to far for me

[graemewelch]

just checked and thirsk only 55mile away. so can meet at either if this gose ahead

[TheT6Kid]

Any times in mind, out Saturday night but probably free Sunday afternoon.

[foammanmark]

I can meet at either Scotch Corner or Thirsk, but Thirsk is my preference. Mid-day/early afternoon is the best time for me. Are we definitely doing it please?

[t5_monkey]

Scotch Corner would be good as it's on my way home!

We gonna set a location ?? Thirsk is pretty much on the way also.

You up in Glasgow now? How's the weather as it's bad here in Lancs, but a lot worse up there from what I'm hearing.

[volvo]

Mark...hows it going mate?

Have you guys got snow up there yet? Im supposed to be going up to Oldham very soon to pick up a car i bought!

[foammanmark]

Hi Qady, going pretty well thanks, and how's your Wife and new born? Hope they're both well.

No snow- it's quite mild, blowing a gale and pi--ing it down. Further north is even worse. Stay in Swindon if I was you! Is it a Volvo that you're collecting in Oldham? I don't know if you saw my posts but the car's had a service, cambelt and PCV. New headlamp done, tailgate sorted, so I'm getting there!

[volvo]

Hey mark...glad the car is going well!! the wife and baby both doing well thank you, i forgot about the sleepless nights that came afterwards lol

Yes i bought a V70 T5....it has some good kit on it so looking forward to getting it up. Well, my mate already picked it up for me so will pick it up as and when i can!

I may be going up to yorkshire after i pick it up as i dont often get chance to see that lot! As i will nearly be there, may as well pop over!!

Cheers

[volvo]

I have some fog lights in for your car, one has a crack but looks like it hasnt leaked. You can have them for yours, straight swap if you want, just because yours had some overspray on them.

I will check the condition on them close-up and if i think they are worth a swap over i will let you know.....

I bet your motor runs even better now and mpg should be better....it was very smooth when i had it, but required a service

In York! Heading back this Sunday hence Scotch Corner being handy.

[volvo]

yeah would be nice but if not, i will post out the lights if they are any good.....

whats next on the motor then? ECU?....

[foammanmark]

Hopefully the winds will have dropped by then before you get back to Scotland.

Running really nicely thanks but had a slow puncture which I had repaired today, so haven't used it much because of that. I was going to try and remove the overspray from the foglights as they're working but with a coat of silver paint on them! Tints will be done by Dazab in Jan, remap, wheel refurb and wishbones also hopefully in Jan.

[volvo]

ahhh, ok. let me know if you sort out the lights then....are you leaving the bumpers as they are? they arent that bad are they until you do a close-up inspection!!

Will look very nice with tints and go very nice with remap too! lol

[foammanmark]

Exactly! I'm going to have the wheels darker so that they contasts more with the silver, and with the tints, should be pretty wicked! Bumpers aren't too bad at all, but maybe a job for later next year? I've got a load cover coming, and also the sides, floor and plastic trim for the boot area.

[foammanmark]

Can we decide if we're having this meet on Sunday tonight please. Sunday is homework time with the kids, and if we're having the meet, we'll do the homework tonight or tomoz.

[t5_monkey]

Yes, I think you'll win. Touch wood, ours is very quiet and seems a pretty sound car for a 117,000mile 1.8TS.

Go to the end of the hotel car park as you pull it (it's pretty obvious) there's usually loads of spaces there.

[foammanmark]

[t5_monkey]

I'm from Yorkshire :D Just live in Glasgow.

[foammanmark]

No, I'm the Scotchman, well a quarter of me is from St.Andrews! OK, so no proper Scotchman!

[t5_monkey]

Weathers forecast to be 7 degrees with the odd light shower so bring a hat :D

When you drive into the Services.... go past the first small car park next to the moto and you'll take a left into the hotel car park which is much bigger... drive down to the end of that and that's the meeting point.

I may be a bit early and be in the moto grabbing a coffee... see you guys soon!

[foammanmark]

I'm setting out at 10am, so may be early as well.

[graemewelch]

We may have accelerated up to 70 when pulling onto a dual carriageway... and then cruised at the speed limit all the way up to Penrith :)

Nosh has some serious overtaking pace in his - now I know why mine annoys people so much :D

I'll be heading the same route probs on the 26th or 27th if anyone fancies a re-run.

[graemewelch]

ill be up for that if ive got its runnings problem. dont fancy turning up in a alfa again.

26th / 27th would be ok for us but would need a few days notice

[t5_monkey]

Let's go 27th everyone will be busy with boxing day family etc...

I reckon you being 2 up slowed you down a fair bit Nosh :) you were still pulling on me once we got to 70mph mind you :D

I'll post up a new thread with the info on.

[Haizum74]

[Toad740]

Well in that case see if anyone else is off from round here and convoy it up? 27th be good, get boxing day out the way

See if I can't get Mick850R out too, could be he's working or I am, which will suck.
