Think the local dent guy & a fair bit of elbow grease are in order.

[QUOTE=abdul;618024]Where will this take place[/QUOTE] Now there's a good question.... I think it's Wrexham.
[QUOTE=Biff;618020]Nice dent in my boot appeared whilst outside my house mate, also got a few carpark dings to pull out.[/QUOTE] Sorry to hear that. You having someone out to it?
[QUOTE=abdul;618024]Where will this take place[/QUOTE] I think we're going for Demon Tweeks, Wrexham. It would be great to see Laser(and you of course), but I think that I will regret selling her, if I was to see her..................
[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave;617378]I should like to come if you'll have me?[/QUOTE] Please try and make it, as It would be great to meet you and see that C70 of yours.
[QUOTE=foammanmark;618125]I think we're going for Demon Tweeks, Wrexham. It would be great to see Laser(and you of course), but I think that I will regret selling her, if I was to see her..................[/QUOTE] Hope to come will be nice to meet up again
Might bring the laser or the saffron
[QUOTE=abdul;618404]Might bring the laser or the saffron[/QUOTE] Can you borrow a trailer and bring both? lol.
[QUOTE=foammanmark;618123]Sorry to hear that. You having someone out to it?[/QUOTE] I will do by then mate yeah. A lad who works with me does it on the side so think he'll be getting a call.
[QUOTE=Biff;618469]I will do by then mate yeah. A lad who works with me does it on the side so think he'll be getting a call.[/QUOTE] So you'll be all posh again for the meet. We have plenty of dents in mainly my wife's Alfa that need removing, if the lad fancies having a look.
[QUOTE=abdul;618404]Might bring the laser or the saffron[/QUOTE] I think if you bring the saffron it will show mine up. Lol
[QUOTE=foammanmark;618479]So you'll be all posh again for the meet. We have plenty of dents in mainly my wife's Alfa that need removing, if the lad fancies having a look.[/QUOTE] I've been recomended by a salesman friend so will have a word Mark. Not sure about posh, we still have the battle scarred bumpers, wheels & a small rust bubble. For the miles & owners I can't complain really.
So lets have a hands up who's coming. That way we could organise meeting places en route, :)
[QUOTE=Immingham;621437]So lets have a hands up who's coming. That way we could organise meeting places en route, :)[/QUOTE] I'll be coming, and can meet you near Leigh/Wigan. I think we're waiting for Biff to confirm on the DT Wrexham venue? A pair of guls.....................
Greyhound hotel on the east lancs?
[QUOTE=Immingham;621470]Greyhound hotel on the east lancs?[/QUOTE] Sounds good to me(I don't know it, but I'll find it). The thought of the cars together is going through my head, and it's a very good thought. What about the other Wigan branch members?
It's a doddle to find, if you come from the m60 and head towards st helens on the A580, you'll eventually come to a round about with a petrol station on it. The hotel is on the opposite side. what time is best to meet? :)

I'd like to meet up there too....see if the D5 can keep up with the Guls :)
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;621486]I'd like to meet up there too....see if the D5 can keep up with the Guls :)[/QUOTE] You'll pass me mate, as I'm V70 Graham's long lost cousin.
I'll promise to stay at the back.......wouldn't want to cover the Guls in the nasty stuff
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;621489]I'll promise to stay at the back.......wouldn't want to cover the Guls in the nasty stuff[/QUOTE] I wouldn't worry cos it'll probably be pi--ing it down anyway.
I'm waiting to hear if we can have an area outside the warehouse area just off the car park. I meant to ask what time will we be meeting? It's quieter on the Saturday morning.

It's quieter on the Saturday morning.[/QUOTE] Morning's OK with me, and you'll be an hour or so from the Greyhound Hotel, so 11.00-11.30am, if that suits everyone please?
I'll get on to them this week. I need to go get yet another exhaust rubber on my jetex so will clarify on Tuesday. That time is fine by me. Look forward to meeting you all & a cruise up in the hills.

Graham, nothing passes you, and my comment is meant in the nicest possible manner. I am a steady driver when working, and I'm in my car/s, not a bus.
Doesn't bother me, I use mine everyday for work.. :)
[QUOTE=foammanmark;621522]Graham, nothing passes you, and my comment is meant in the nicest possible manner. I am a steady driver when working, and I'm in my car/s, not a bus.[/QUOTE] Nothing wrong with being steady mate, I'm averaging 28.5 mpg for the first 6 months of this year.
[QUOTE=V70 Graham;621528]Nothing wrong with being steady mate, I'm averaging 28.5 mpg for the first 6 months of this year.[/QUOTE] Good stuff. Remind me, is your car manual or auto? I've been getting just over 30 from the R over the last 2 weeks, and I'm over the moon about that.
[QUOTE=Immingham;621527]Doesn't bother me, I use mine everyday for work.. :)[/QUOTE] Your car is still on 'Car and Classic', but marked as sold. I was looking earlier.
[QUOTE=foammanmark;621520]If you're struggling, I don't know if Chester Services is an option?[/QUOTE] Chester services would be fine by me too but I will speak to the lads in tweeks.
[QUOTE=foammanmark;621529]Good stuff. Remind me, is your car manual or auto? I've been getting just over 30 from the R over the last 2 weeks, and I'm over the moon about that.[/QUOTE] Manual mate, auto's don't count as real performance cars lol (that should get a few people going)
tbh i drive steady, especially in my volvo i always feel like im gonna bend a rod when i put my foot down, even though its only just over standard power lol. well i could meet you mark at darwen services maybe?
[QUOTE=Biff;621531]Chester services would be fine by me too but I will speak to the lads in tweeks.[/QUOTE] I had to read that twice then as I've had a few tinnies. At first, I thought you said I will speak to the lads in two weeks.
Not taking the bait Graham..... its all about cruising and looking good :cool: Averaged 35mpg cruising back from Morecambe today :)
[QUOTE=V70 Graham;621533]Manual mate, auto's don't count as real performance cars lol (that should get a few people going)[/QUOTE] I was always on 29 or just over on the obc, with my manual T5, but I could get 31 plus on good journeys.
[QUOTE=Immingham;621545]Not taking the bait Graham..... its all about cruising and looking good :cool: Averaged 35mpg cruising back from Morecambe today :)[/QUOTE] The thing that I really didn't like about laser, was that when I let my foot off the gas, she didn't slow down like a manual does. Therefore, I had to brake more, and didn't feel like I was in control.I hate using the brakes, so she had to go............
I am looking forward to seeing mark's C70 again.
[QUOTE=Immingham;621545]Not taking the bait Graham..... its all about cruising and looking good :cool: Averaged 35mpg cruising back from Morecambe today :)[/QUOTE] no cruising in mine , driven all the way and shows 21mpg on the dash, can get more but it makes me sleepy (boredom) and that I would consider as dangerous in traffic, so the car and I like to keep up the pace a little, just for safety's sake
I think I'm working then but if not I will try and get there.....North West? I thought Wrexham was somewhere in the Midlands :)

So I have to be good, other wise the wife will slam my nuts in the tailgate!! :)
[QUOTE=Immingham;621657]Have to cruise at the moment, got my 8 week old son in the back most days.

I might be up for it, will pencil the date in my diary :D
This could quite possibly be one of the closest meets to me for a while! Im on the fence at the moment as its my sons christening on that Sunday, so it all depends how much last minute stuff there is to do on the Saturday. Will keep you informed :D
[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave;621625]I am looking forward to seeing mark's C70 again.[/QUOTE] Dave, my intention is to come in the Gul, so that we have a 'set' with Immingham's 855. Biff asked if I could bring my R, and If I could bring all 3 cars, then I would............

The VPCUK Blackburn branch, travels over to meet the Wigan branch, and then to the meet in convoy. Awesome..........
[QUOTE=Liddo;621722]I might be up for it, will pencil the date in my diary :D[/QUOTE] Hope you can make it. If you have another PC for sale by then, I may be interested as the one I bought off you before has now seen better days.

[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave;621839]Nevermind - I kinda get the fascination with custard coloured cars.[/QUOTE] Dave, I can always make it down to another meet in the C70, say Shropshire/West Midlands. Let's see what comes up.
Perhaps a C70 only meet?
[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave;621845]Perhaps a C70 only meet?[/QUOTE] Like the one in Matlock last year...............that never happened. lol. Good idea, but if we say 'a meet with emphasis on the C70', and then we don't upset drivers of other models? When/where would you propose?
We could try Matlock again?

[QUOTE=stephenevans99;621861]Perhaps Vidal Sassoon Hair Academy :) pmsl[/QUOTE] Lol, I've only just seen this. I'll raise a thread soon, 'Hairdressers' C70 meet in Matlock', and see how many put their names down. Nathan's been in touch BTW, and I just need to go and see him now, for the car's handbooks etc.
Looking increasingly like I should be there.

[QUOTE=no1tosh;623198]oh i coming mate no worrys there[/QUOTE] Good stuff! We need Biff to confirm how's he's going on with the DT guys. Biff?
Sorry boys, my car is going to be off the road & the aholes higher up the food chain have changed my shifts. I was supposed to be on my week off but instead I'm in Friday & Saturday night. It's ruined my stag do too. Sorry to be a let down. Maybe next time I can meet up with you? Who knows when my social life is in the hands of a dictator!!
Count me in for North West Boys Thanks Seb

Problem solved. :) On another note, anybody know of any jobs going? Lol. :help:
Is this meet still on?
[QUOTE=Immingham;625220]Is this meet still on?[/QUOTE] As far as I know mate, but we could make it closer to us now.
Whatever or wherever. I've got that Saturday off, so I'm going out in my volvo. :)
Cool, I'm still on for this, car seems to be running fine at the moment.
I'd still like to come -debatable which Volvo mind.
You're more than welcome. Just pick one of your fleet. Lol
[QUOTE=foammanmark;623327]Where are you from please Seb?[/QUOTE] Im from Warrington Shall I come with the 852 T5 pick up or the 2007 R this is the question? Seb
If it's still at Demon Tweeks, then you can count me in.
Have we settled on DT as the venue or has this now changed?
I'm still heading for d/tweeks. :) I need another catalogue lol
hey up are we still doing this? and have we decided on a location and date?
Blind leading the blind.....lol
[QUOTE=no1tosh;626980]hey up are we still doing this? and have we decided on a location and date?[/QUOTE] I'm still up for it, but can't do most of August now due to a Holiday and other things nearly every weekend of the month. Can do next weekend, but that's it until the weekend of the 31/8-1/9.
So what about a week today at DT peeps? Guarantee the rain will be here by then...........
right well im free any time until september, so ill let people with date restrictions decide.
[QUOTE=stephenevans99;626984]Blind leading the blind.....lol[/QUOTE] Can you make it to DT next weekend?
i can make that:biggrin:
[QUOTE=no1tosh;626990]i can make that:biggrin:[/QUOTE] That's you and me, and I suggest we start a new thread if we get a couple of others.
Yeah I can make that too,Sunday?
[QUOTE=Tomcat;627013]Yeah I can make that too,Sunday?[/QUOTE] Looking at their website, and they only seem to open on Saturdays at weekend, unless I've not looked properly.
