North East Meets!

**After_Shock** · Saturday 11th March 2006, 19:33

Right people after a recent pole it was good to get a decent list of members, or at least enough of us in the area to justify a meet.

Looking at the locations of most of the people on the list it appears that most of us are up past Durham and mainly concentrated around Newcastle so ive taken the decision to leave out a Teeside area for a meet unless people suggest otherwise.

As lil_me has suggested a good pub at the arniston centre area in Durham I think this would be a good spot to kick off a meet as its right near the A1 and central in the North East for people like me down in Teeside.

Would Sunday the 19th of March be too soon for people in the evening say 6p.m ish?

It would be great if we could get meets kicked off up North as soon as possible and therefore get together and discuss ideas for the summer when the weathers better, personally I think having a few locations in one night would be a great idea as were all sensible drivers and be nice to see the cars on the move!

Ive PM'd everyone that put there name up on the list in the other thread and a couple of others aswell so everyone knows about the thread (you have no excuse

)

Hopefully we can all get together and have a good meet.

Its not closed to North East members so if anyone from outside the area would like to come along make sure you bring your passports and you wont have a problem getting in!

**Diesel64** · Sunday 12th March 2006, 17:10

hey up, yep - I'd be up for it but it depends on a couple of other commitments getting sorted first.

Would be good to get some feedback on my 850

**Aiken** · Sunday 12th March 2006, 17:42

I'm up for it, would be good to see all the cars in convoy

4 Diesel64 (Possibly)
5 Aiken

Just add your names to the list!

**lil_me** · Sunday 12th March 2006, 20:05

Yeah we'll be there, if I can't get a babysitter being short notice I'll throw them in the play area in the pub

Might be a bit late if Pete finishes work late thats all. It is a family pub with a children's play area.

Directions >> Map <<clicky

Can you let me know how many people each of you are bringing ish, and I'll pop into the pub next week and see if they can keep us an area inside seperate, save us waiting for a big seating area together, few extra seats are never a problem but if we have a minimum amount it helps.

Thanks lil_me thats much appreciated!

**Bakey** · Tuesday 14th March 2006, 20:02

well as long as the 480 duznt throw another one of its electrical wobblys I should be there too!

I was hoping to have the suspension tore out and replaced this weekend but i'm running desperately short of workshop space at the minute and think it'll have to wait another week.... suppose the kids can always use it as a bouncy castle

!!! Just dont hold me responsible if they get an electric shock

So what exactly we gonna do?? It would be cool if we all went for a spin as a convoy.....

**After_Shock** · Tuesday 14th March 2006, 23:16

Tried to organise it for as early as possible on the evening so can hopefully get some pics of the cars etc, as its a first meet think it will be a good idea to all sit down have chat for a while and get to know each other and discuss ideas for future meets.

Some of the best meets ive been to in the past have included 2 or 3 locations in one night and its something would really enjoy doing with the Volvo's travelling about a bit. Will see how the night goes!

No probs mrs mopp, hardly around the corner for you!

**Anthmurphy** · Tuesday 14th March 2006, 23:38

thats sounds cool to me......U in teeside like Aftershock?? how long you drove a t5?? only just had mine 10 days 2morrow but wanted one for years.......i must say im loving it!!!... T5s get a lot of respect from anyone who knows anything about cars......

**After_Shock** · Tuesday 14th March 2006, 23:53

Yeah im down on Teeside, had T5's for over 3 years now.

People who know the cars respect them and people who dont know them but know of them know to respect them which is always good!
