Dates for the next southern meets

[oblark]

As it's the first today lets start the arguing on when the southern meet going to be.

[V70 Graham]

Well it's not today, TRAX is next Sunday and I believe there is some drag racing on the 29th.

This leaves the 15th and 22nd, personally I can only do the 15th as I'll be on holiday on the 22nd.

[M-R-P]

I vote November :)

[V70 Graham]

I vote November :)

There are words to describe you Mr P none if which I am allowed to post.

[stribo]

We can't do the 15th as we're at my parents, could do the 22nd.

[M-R-P]

bring them with Steve :)

[stribo]

Not their sort of thing, especially as my Dad has always had Fords.

[M-R-P]

with mine and your wife's cars, there'll be a few Ford's there :)

[stribo]

He's owned proper Fords though, the first car I remember him having when I was 3 or 4 was a MKII Cortina 1600E, also had MKIII Cortina 2000E, MKI Granada 3L GXL, and countless others.

[oblark]

As the arguing has already started for this month's southern meet here some dates for the rest of the year

20th October
17th November
15th December

[M-R-P]

good idea Rob.

[stribo]

The only one that may be a problem is December, depending on when the Christmas do is.

[V70 Graham]

Working all those, guess I'll see you all in 2014

[stribo]

Are these dates set in stone? Who decided on them?

[V70 Graham]

Second thoughts, we'll skip the 'Softies' meets for the time being, we used to look forward to them but having missed August's and looks like September's too along with the rest of 2013 it puts a bit of a dampner on it.

TBH Graham looking at the other dates, this months will be on the 15th so we'll miss out. :( Would still like to know whose decided on the future dates, as this used to be decided by concensus, why the change? I think the way this is going the south coast folk can dictate to their own, and we'll have a North Hampshire/Surrey/Berkshire meet. ;)

[JUDGENINJA]

Most weekends are fine for me..

For ££££ sake................

At the begin of ever month when a date is put forward for the southern meet you get " cant do that one but I can do this one"

So I thought I would post up IN A NEW THREAD some dates for the next few months and guess what .........you lot bitch and moan about it.........

So ££££ it ......you lot can argue the toss on when or if you want a southern meet.

I now see why Jamest5 pissed off..................

[M-R-P]

----------this is me drawing a line under the last 18 posts----------



Right! Let's have another go shall we?

There's no way I'm gonna let this meet turn into a bloody bunfight so play nicely children or I'll bang yer heads together. The big lad has spoken!

15th or 22nd, what's it gonna be?

Discuss...

[MIKESC70T5]

I know I'm a bmw tosser, but I think I'll give it a miss t.b.h, sorry Martin but sounds like the meets won't be the same from now on.

[lukeous]

wheres the southern meet normally? or does it change?

[M-R-P]

You'll always be welcome Mike beemer or otherwise ;) Don't let a simple thread put you off mate, it's the turning-up that's important and it's always a laugh.

What are your thoughts on another Mountbatten meet - 6 years on? a click down memory lane (http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?12633-Bournemouth-Poole-Area/page3)

[M-R-P]

Junction 2 M27 near cadnam mate. Bit of a drive for you but it'll be cool to get the plodders together ;)

[V70 Graham]

I vote the 22nd.....for three reasons.

1) Steve, Rachel and Charlie will be able to go (should they wish).

2) If M-R-P's not busy on the 15th I may pop down to see him anyway (to install my delivery if it arrives, and swap over some plastics ready to be dipped.

3) As its my birthday on the 16th (and we go on hols) Anne may be kind enough to take me for some ribs on the 15th so we wouldn't be eating anyway.

[stribo]

You told us to argue about it, you can't start moaning when we do.:P
Back to this month, we can make the next 3 months, so hold it when Graham can make it, or have one every weekend then no one misses out.;)

Youre welcome down any time you like mate (14th would actually be easier but I'm easy ;)) although getting half-day holidays is getting harder since my new manager arrived.

[lukeous]

[M-R-P]

We can see if we can do anything with your car if it isn't sorted by then.

It's a full-blown tradition that someone's car gets tinkered-with at these meets (last months was a laugh - everybody had a go at it)

[c70geoff]

will i ever be off on a meet date

So what date are you going for ???

[M-R-P]

I'll do both if it keeps everybody happy. :)

[oblark]

15th- pre upgrades

22nd- post upgrades

And I can do both :)

[cherry1809]

Well I may make 22nd, as I'm off that week. Only been one so feel I'm missing out.

[M-R-P]

be cool to have you there Darren :)

[S70T5Chris]

Either dates are good for me - unless the Mrs has gone into labour!!

[cherrywaves]

I can do both at the Mo. And in only 10 mins away anyway. Last meet was fun! Will bring shiny tools and carb cleaner again (if anyone needs them...).

[stribo]

Good man :)

Got a forge MBC if you want it going a bit quicker ;)

[D5 Sophie]

I might come pop my head in and come say hi to everyone. Been a long time since I've seen a lot of you. X

[FIREBOLT]

If it is on the 22nd I'll try & come down in the 940, just need to fit a new front subframe, steering rack etc. Minor jobs really!

[jimka]

22nd I'm in China - have fun... i'll bring you back some knock-off goods :)

[M-R-P]

22nd I'm in China - have fun... i'll bring you back some knock-off goods :)

remap would be great mate, cheers!

[M-R-P]

Hmmm... a tricky one...

With all the fuss, I forgot I was supposed to be in london on the 22nd...

Well, I got out of that one and I can make the meet but....

I'm not sure if the Sweed will make it too :( 50/50 at the moment.

If you have to bring the ££££let make sure you park it in Mcdonalds carpark :)

[M-R-P]

If you have to bring the ££££let make sure you park it in Mcdonalds carpark :)

If all goes to plan, I'll not only be in the Sweed, but showing off some new mods ;)

If not I'll be having a big mac rather than a square burger :(

There's always the "how many people can we fit in a ££££let" game :D

[V70 Graham]

That's THIS SUNDAY 1400hrs.

[stribo]

I can only do the 15th.:P

[M-R-P]

[stribo]

nob

Stop running into things, that's Waynes job. ;)

[JUDGENINJA]

The lamp post hit me....

[M-R-P]

[S70T5Chris]

Cant make this one i'm afraid. My little boy was born Tuesday! So got daddy duties! Have a good one.

[JUDGENINJA]

Congrats to you both...

[JT]

congratulations :)

[M-R-P]

bring 'em with :)

congrats dude.

[cherry1809]

And mine picked up another misfire playing with a bike on the M6 yesterday.
Think it's plug related this time, as they're due... So that's another I've missed :(

[M-R-P]

Were your ears burning Darren? we were just talking about you lol :)

Bit quieter this month, what with people dropping out or being on holiday but still a good show of cars.
Once again, the bonnets were up and spanners were weilded as 3 cars were tinkerd - with. I'm happy to confirm that, in the "who can get the heatshield off the turbo first" competition between me and Stribo, I managed a 14.9 (minutes) getting the shield off, adjusting the actuator and back on again. Sadly, Stribo had a DNF due to a rounded nut lol.

Any way, the star car today was Robs (Oblark), with the new R rear bumper, custom spoiler and various other shiny bits, it looks stunning and the blast up the dualy was a frikkin hoot :)

Ha, my bonnet is up and it was one of the only ones not having any work done to it!!!
Steve will post a picture of my sausage later..... Let's just say Martin was impressed!'

It was indeed a mighty sausage you had there Wayne, all the white sauce dripping off it made me worry a little tho... :D

[stribo]

Another great meet, even if a few regulars were missing, great to catch up with MRP, Oblark, He who cannot be named, Cherrywaves and JudgeNinja. Martin did indeed beat me in the heatshield removal race (bloody seized nut), but bottled fitting a new gearstick surround trim for H.W.M.N.B.N, so I stepped up and sorted it. ;)

[merc85]

Cars looking spot on as always, really missing our essex meets :(

[M-R-P]

You're always welcome darn sarf Gav, the shiny car count drops a little from time to time. The only clean bit of my car today was the front bumper I resprayed yesterday lol.

[V70 Graham]

Looks like a good meet chaps, shame we couldn't make it.
Hopefully catch up with you all soon.....bit worried with all the talk about Rob's rear end and Wayne's sausage tho lol

[stribo]

Cant make this one i'm afraid. My little boy was born Tuesday! So got daddy duties! Have a good one.

Congratulations to you both mate.

[cherrywaves]

I had a good time once again gentlemen and lady! Massive thanks to Steve and Martin for the parts and hard work on my car!

Was great to see everyone and I'm looking forward to next months meet - although I'm not 100% due to the imminent arrival of Babywaves......

Congrats to Chris on the baby news too!

[oblark]

Any way, the star car today was Robs (Oblark), with the new R rear bumper, custom spoiler and various other shiny bits, it looks stunning and the blast up the dualy was a frikkin hoot :)

The video doesn`t work, it says "this video is private"

[M-R-P]

The video doesn`t work, it says "this video is private"

Fixed it.

[JUDGENINJA]

So next one 20th...?

Got to meet some people to change the electric window mechanism in the MG that was just sold(job I forgot to do)..

[stribo]

I don't think 20th works for Graham.

[JUDGENINJA]

OK, just need a decision on the date (don't care 13th or 27th is fine for me)

[JUDGENINJA]

I might even be early...

[stribo]

Any Sunday's good for us, now race/show season has finished.

[M-R-P]

27th suits me, gives me a chance to finish the rear bumper.

[oblark]

As the arguing has already started for this month's southern meet here some dates for the rest of the year

20th October
17th November
15th December

I thought it was going to be the 20th as pervious agreed !!!!

[stribo]

I thought it was going to be the 20th as pervious agreed !!!!

No-one agreed it mate, you just posted it. There's got to be some flexibilty.

[V70 Graham]

Well we can't do the 20th, and to be honest I'm working on the 27th and wouldn't be able to get there till about 1500 anyway so count us out this month.

[V70 Graham]

Got 2 mini meets this week anyhoo, Friday with M-R-P and Saturday with stribo and Relfski :biggrin:

[V70 Graham]

ps Looks like Decembers is the day after the Crimbo bash

(I know I could have put all this in one post, just aiming for that 10,000 post gold watch lol)

[stribo]

Well we can't do the 20th, and to be honest I'm working on the 27th and wouldn't be able to get there till about 1500 anyway so count us out this month.

There's always the 13th.;)

[oblark]

No-one agreed it mate, you just posted it. There's got to be some flexibilty.

I was wondering who would be the first to bite :)

Any date is good with me :)

[stribo]

There's always the 13th.;)


I was wondering who would be the first to bite :)

Any date is good with me :)

If you think that was a bite, you're in for a shock when I do. :P

So if everyone puts dates they can attend, then we'll go for the most popular.

[M-R-P]

I was toying with the idea of going to the Malvern show on the 13th. Haven't spoke to the missus yet so it'll probably be a no lol.

[V70 Graham]

I can do the 6th lol, on the upside Novembers looking better (so long as it's not the 10th)

[M-R-P]

Can't do the 6th lol.

[M-R-P]

If you think that was a bite, you're in for a shock when I do. :P
.

You don't bite, you just get more annoying :uglyhamme

[M-R-P]

C'mon you lot dates please!

13th, 20th (although it's the day after my anniversary) 27th are good for me :)

[oblark]

I can do the 13th, 20th and the 27th :)

[stribo]

I can do the 13th, 20th and the 27th :)

Us too.

Who's up for an exhaust sound-off in the car park, I'll bring a meter :D

[oblark]

Who's up for an exhaust sound-off in the car park, I'll bring a meter :D

This coming from someone who doesn`t like loud exhaust !!!!! :)

[M-R-P]

This coming from someone who doesn`t like loud exhaust !!!!! :)

"didn't" like loud exhausts ;)

12 speakers, 1.2KW of amps and I haven't used it since Sunday lol.

[oblark]

Hardly use the stereo in mine aswell :)

[M-R-P]

I feel a new thread coming on....

[stribo]

Who's up for an exhaust sound-off in the car park, I'll bring a meter :D

All noise, and no go :P You should get your car down the strip, then we'll see how impressive it is or isn't.;)

[M-R-P]

Blah blah - I'm not stressing a 205k mile gearbox just to put you in your place but it'll be on the rollers soon... ;)

[V70 Graham]

Blah blah - I'm not stressing a 205k mile gearbox just to put you in your place but it'll be on the rollers soon... ;)

Mine too.....fancy another showdown Steve ?

[S70T5Chris]

Who's up for an exhaust sound-off in the car park, I'll bring a meter :D


i'll bring the accord then :biggrin:

[M-R-P]

bring the baby - from experience, they're the loudest thing on earth. especially at 3am.

[stribo]

Blah blah - I'm not stressing a 205k mile gearbox just to put you in your place but it'll be on the rollers soon... ;)

Get left behind you mean, you've got less power than Graham in a heavier car, you'd be lucky to get in the 15's.:P

[M-R-P]

Get left behind you mean, you've got less power than Graham in a heavier car, you'd be lucky to get in the 15's.:P

118mph in 3rd, only 2 gearchanges for the quarter says it'll have a good chance but like I said, I'm not risking my box.

[JUDGENINJA]

[V70 Graham]
