Hi guys, what time do you meet? I need to see some completed cars to give me some inspiration to get on with mine. Any BEC's going to be along?

Rhod


bob - 11/3/09 at 08:51 PM

normally 10am ish till midday 1pm ish

I'm sometimes there before 10 but depends how lively i feel


rodders - 11/3/09 at 09:03 PM

Cheers for that, I don't think I will be there before 10 as it's a bit early for me on a Sunday.

Thanks mate.

Most decent of you!


Humbug - 13/3/09 at 05:34 PM

I would like to come along but it's my mother's 75th birthday and I'm supposed to be helping prepare for a lunch for her


jimgiblett - 13/3/09 at 11:37 PM

I'll be there. Need to avoid the burgers as I need to shed a few kilos for power to weight ratio

andylancaster3000 - 14/3/09 at 01:43 PM

Would very much like to come down and get along to Newlands tomorrow but can't afford the time at the moment

Would have finally been able to get a Locost along to it too!


Meeerrrk - 14/3/09 at 05:41 PM

weather is looking good, had the car out today and all seems good so ill see you chaps there


bob - 14/3/09 at 06:03 PM

Looks like it could be a good turn out, i think i will pack the camera.


bob - 14/3/09 at 06:22 PM

I have asked mrs bob as i always do but the weather has to be near tropical for her to even think about getting in the car


Johneturbo - 14/3/09 at 07:26 PM

I may have my wing girl with me too

or lucy the satnav girl


Meeerrrk - 14/3/09 at 08:08 PM

LOL the reason i enjoy using my car often is that mrs meeerrrk refuses to go anywhere near it


bob - 15/3/09 at 06:24 PM

was a good morning, hopefully do it more often this year.

yes loved the red MNR, top car that one


jimgiblett - 15/3/09 at 07:57 PM

Nice too see all you guys. Sorry I had to fly but son was starting to miss his xbox.

James, hope you got at least a B+ in your gradings

- Jim


Meeerrrk - 15/3/09 at 08:12 PM

nice to meet you too jim, never had a look at a fury before, liked yours alot. they make more sense than the 7 for a road car IMO!

Mark

PS love the "warning" stickers!!


Johneturbo - 15/3/09 at 08:28 PM

Great to meet all you guys and see your cars
now i know where it is, i'll try and make a few more

i think if i was to build a non 7 type car i'd go for a fury with a BE of course.

great pic Mart shame i spoil the mnr a bit!!


James - 15/3/09 at 10:57 PM

Ok, I was lame being so late.... again!

But really enjoyed it anyway. Not sure the marks yet Jim but think I passed!

Glad I managed to re-aquaint two old colleagues as well!

Fingers crossed for more weather like that... oh and me getting a job so I can afford to put mine on the road again!

Cheers,
James
