    Smile Smoke Stop Meet 26/4/15 Shropshire & Mid-Wales 1.30pm

    Shropshire & Mid-Wales Meet at The Smoke Stop, Ford, Shrewsbury, SY5 9LH

    Hi all. as some will know our old meeting place has got a bit too busy of late to accommodate us as we would like and the car parking is getting too crowded to get the Volvos all together, so we have been looking at alternatives. We where going to try this place out last year, but for one reason or another getting it sorted didn't happen and the place changed management and had full face lift, so we left it for a while to see how they went on and we now been in to check it out and see how receptive they would be to a bunch of Volvo nuts turning up on a Sunday afternoon for a drink, natter and a bite to eat for those that wish to. They are more than pleased to have us along, thus this thread was started

    All are welcome, hope to see some new faces as well as the usual crowd, from 1.30pm onwards

    yep and the coke-cola is good (didn't try the beer but there looked to be a good selection for the non-drivers)

    Looking at the menu for that place has made me really hungry, nacho's, burgers, wings, pulled pork......sounds great.

    Another reason for me to try and make one of these meets some time.

    Looks like my diet will go out of the window that day, but already looking forward to the grub.

    I'd be more concerned about taxing it............the mot should be a doddle on a newly built car

    I'm hoping to have the fake R back in one piece & with its freshly flocked bits fitted by then.
    Hopefully I'll be able to fit my boost gauge by then too.
    Venue looks great! I'll have to look for the longest way to get there.
    Colin if you get the t10 legal I'm afraid you'll have to fit a passenger seat.
    Pretty please. Lol
    Be good to see you guys again.

    Hound I sure will mate, hoping my caliper paint comes tomorrow as I'm paying demon Tweeks a visit for some expensive brake pads on Friday & fitting the brakes on Saturday.

    Good idea, although it's possible I'll already be in Oswestry... Hopefully I will have that annoying coolant sensor issue sorted too.

    Hope all your brakey stuff goes well. I'm still willing to try turning off that service light when you're free!
