more than willing to meet up with anyone for a natter

where are you?

im from s.wales just outside newport

colin

I'm 8 miles north of Chepstow, happy to meet up with anyone to compare notes, and kick a few tyres

Rob

There's a few of us around.

I've tried to pull a bit of a meet together but it wasn't exactly met with massive enthusiasm.

Still keen though.

Any from the norf......... I'll be visiting the Snowdon playground in mine alot this summer

Be nice to do it as a fighting pair....

MOz

MOz.
See Chestersportscars - events and link to NWATOC. There are a few of us up here in North Wales, join up with us sometime.

Rescued attachment yellow5.jpg

Right then chaps.

As I see it, we have
1 x Newport
2 x Cwmbran
4 x Cardiff/Vale of Glam
1 x Bridgend
1 x Lydney (Glos)
1 x Milford H
1 x Camarthen

On that spread, Cardiff (perhaps St Mellons way) seems pretty logical.

Shall we aim for a Sunday afternoon?

Aye.

Sunday 25th Febuary.

Coach & Horses St Mellons?

Any other ideas welcome.

[Edited on 14/2/07 by TimC]

sunday afternoon is good for me too

coach and horses is easy to find to

Coach and horses - go on, give us a clue....hope it's sunny. Is the car park safe??

9 days to re-wire the car.....Hmmm

I like it the way it is, purely because it is a Hayabusa loom

Lyn, they'll certainly hear it coming.....run for the hills!!!!

---

Got one new complete L/H Drive shaft with new lobro's off Ebay this week - looking for a R/H, so only half as rattley after tomorrow.....

Anyway, where is the place, still don't know.

I'll drive mine down,
Lyn - you drive yours down,
Len - you drive yours down,








Tim, you bring yours in the back of a Luton Van.......

Can I bring my steering wheel and pretend like Maggie on the start of The Simpsons?

What time then folks??????

[Edited on 15/2/07 by TimC]

I can see who you base your hair style on now
Rescued attachment maggie scooter - tim c.gif

Go on then, post up Homer, if you must.

Homer rules !

Doh!

We setting a time then or what?

Who's coming?

1 - me.
2 -?



Mmmmmmm.......donuts!

[Edited on 15/2/07 by richard thomas]

2- me
3-?

3- Me
4- ?

I'll call Ed & John with the Orange MNR and speak to Lenny if he doesn't reply first.

Do we have a time yet?

I'll be there. Sorry to muck up your numbering system. I might even take the car off SORN.

Is it open all day or Sunday hours ?

What time then, say 2pm ?

I'll ring Haydn Gibbon too, he's got a Tiger Cat, from LLantwit Vadre.

1ish...2ish...?

Trust the p*ss head to want to start an hour earlier

Continental time.....

hi all
did you all turn up as i was late and seem to have missed it
got there at 2.45
cos me car is knackered so had to dig the bike out
can we sort out another meet
next weekend
cheers
colin

Errr......I thought we had arranged the 25th.....?

oops didnt see that first time around so you did be able to make that on time
he he he

"My bike's so fast, I got there a week early!"

I've just typed that to keep it at the top of the page to be honest.

What time is the rugby on ?

That could bugger things up.

looking at the last coupple of games wouldnt be missing much
just as well have a beer instead
( i also want to keep it at the top of the page tim ) he he he

France V Wales is ko 20:00 Saturday.

There'd have to be a LOT of injury time to clash with the meet!

So, 1 o'clock it is then.

This Sunday (this coming Sunday Colin the 25th )

Who's bringing their 7's. I'm going in comfort, not taking the car off SORN 'till I'm back from hols.

Colin do you want a lift down ?

cheers fesycresy i might take you up on that see how i get on with the corsa by the weekend still in bits at the min so my build is on hold till its done
so i will let you know a bit closer to the time mate
cheers
colin

Have spoken to Ed and Jon (Orange MNR in Sully.) Ed can't make it but Jon is hoping to come along.

Saw Lenny last night. He'll be over about 14:00.

Forecast is a rainy start to the day but a dry afternoon with some sunshine. Is anyone bringing their P&J?

Pride and Joy !!

Took a while for the penny to drop there.

Nope, leaving the new fishing rod at home

Possibly - dependant on weather. If, that is, one of you is going to tell me where it is......St Mellons is a big place and i am but a dim valley boy not used to the bright lights etc. etc.

Of course, the alternative is that you all bring tools and we have it at my place??

Nice that everyone turned up. Not so good that we had more worried looking sheep in attendance than cars.

yes it was good to meet up shame the weather wasnt nice enough for the cars to be there
we will have to meet up again soon
cheers
colin

Well, I thought I'd fulfil the stereotype before some Saxon did.

So when are we doing it again?

(The meet, not Flossy the Sheep.)

on a sunny day so we can see some cars this time
cheers
colin

so when are we gonna get together for another pint then people
cheers
colin

How about after the easter holiday ?

I'll have the car off SORN by then.

Yes, sounds good.

Have fitted one brand spanking new RH driveshaft, am awaiting two brand spanking new lobros for the other side....should sound a bit less rattley by then!!

HA! I am now rattle free.....lovely new lobros - will be considerably less embarrased now.

Refitted the lsd again, makes hell of a difference from a sideways perspective.

When we doing it?

Are they new as in, brand new ??

There a better pub around the corner with a bigger car park.

How about the weekend after the bank holiday ? Lets look at the weather forecast closer to the date.

Yes, brand new.

looks like tim is flat out on his build so he can get it finished for the next meet
is this right tim?????????????

He's not going to finish until i get them circlips to him...

hey rich
he must still be busy in the garage no time for the pc or he's ignoring us
lol

Probably in the garage drooling over that lovely chassis.....

lucky beggar...

I'm here -

Chassis doesn't look so good with a nundred-squilllion holes drilled in it.

Just let me know when you lot want to meet up. When does our american friend get back from riding Brokeback Moutain?

TC

I am back

Even managed to see some busa powered cars in a stunt show, I'll post some poo up later.

Didn't crash over there and Dollar didn't even hit me with any charges, but got a stone chip in my screen going down the M3 on the way home

now fesycresy is back from his hols are we all up for our next meet this weekend?????????????
hopefully nice weather to see some cars there

Afraid i'm away next weekend...in Spain 2 weeks after that and then Stoneleigh the weekend after that...

It looks like next weekend is a no-no. 21st or 22nd is ok for me - we'll have to do without Rich. Does anyone have any contacts for the Westfield lot?

TC

I'm here 21st - 22nd.....away the weekend after that.

Where we looking at this time? Somewhere similar? Is there anywhere good down the bay?

There's The Baron's Court Beefeater (edge of Penarth) that has a fair size car park with benches outside. Not much car friendly actually down the bay.

There's a sprint @ Llandow this weekend - including Lotus 7 Club and hopefully LSDWEB in his R1 Swift.

so are we on for the 22nd
lyn knows a pub down by the coach and horses with a big car park
if you can confirm this lyn
lets hope it is as hot then

Cool. I'm in.

What day is the sprint Tim?

Might be an idea to gather there?

(Plus it's closer to me Har Har)

Sorry guys - duff info.

Sprint is 12th May.

Never mind....where then? Somewhere more rural if we're going to convert CJ to bec.....

Okay then, what about one of the big pubs on the road between Cowbridge and Culverhouse Cross? There's a massive Brains joint along there - or even Llancarven. Apparently there's a stunning place by a ford there.

All for it....

What's the weather forecast? I've heard Sunday not so clever....

Errr....I take it that means rain?

As of 4.10, I still haven't had my camber gauge so it looks as if I won't be taking the toy out this weekend

Waited nearly two weeks for it now, well pissed

No wonder there's so much stigma attached to a Welsh Committee - if someone makes a decision, you have my number.

Well if Sunday's afternoon's out....

I have to go to Cardiff tomorrow midday to help pick up a triumph dolomite (!) for a mate, and she's out in the evening so I have the kids.

Sunday morning/lunch if anyone fancies it?

morning /afternoon is good for me
mind you any time for me is good

right shall we say coach and horses 1 pm
and maybe move to a better location
when we all get there
cos we all know how to get there
so who is up for it then
me - 1
?

Rain stopped play i'm afraid!

is it still rainig in bridgend rich??
sat in the garden in cwmbran on my birthday with a beer
cheers
colin

[Edited on 29/6/07 by richard thomas]
