you know il convoy, tis always good to have a candy white tom undertaking me all the way :grin: :grin: :grin: :drinking:
seriously thow, are we going to set a date?
y not have one in sheffield so a few of the southerners can come :grouphug:Probably cos we wouldnt have any wheels left to come home on afterwards!! :laugh:
M6 J14 would be OK for me.
What's around that area then?

Not much really but we only need a meeting place lke the service station then can move on from there, maybe a cruise along the A50 would be good 2 lanes all the way lots of roundabouts for checking the front wheel grip and very quiet, i travel it all the time and have hardly ever seen the Rozzers there. :smiley: :smiley:
Are we going to combine this meet with the crispy creme meet, there would be more peeps attending Joe if we head south a bit.
Someone could pick up a few boxes from Krispy's on the way past. :party: :jumping:
well im up for the friday night BUT saturday WOULD be a better do, as it would be daylight (better pics + rolling pics) lunch somewhere and cruise somewhere cool,
but its just an idea, im easy goin so both days are fine for me, also the location is fine, what about us northerners meeting at krispys first then, and convoying down?? good idea?? :party:
first forum meet coming together well :grouphug:

Any further south and us northern boys will have to stay the night. :drinking: :party: :happy2:

A good idea but why an evening meet on a dark night?
Methinks a lunchtime meet would always be better, especially for those travelling long distance. 5-6 hr drive each way for me to get to Manchester for example.
IS Flora and 182 not attending i dont see your names on the list. :evilgrin:
....
ST15 0 = Approx 190 miles each way and 3.5 hrs - Just about the max I'd want to do, especially on M'ways.
But why not!? I probably won't feel like a cruise though - Just lunch for me :party:
29th is good for me (I think!)

Especially during the day. I keep looking in my "reasons to get out of things with the wife" bag, but the more I use it, the more I can see the D.I.V.O.R.C.E. lettering at the bottom :sick:
I went to a "local" midnight meet at Tibshelf service station a couple of days ago and the wife thought I was bonkers then. I'm still paying pennance for it now :ashamed:

stopped on stafford north for my dinner (my own buttys) and did the"find me/where am i, on the tomtom it gave me these
N52.88544(0) degree o at the end
W2.17168(0) as above
also been on there web site and it gave post code ST15 0EO,
its 7km north of JKT14,
So if am right in thinking that when we go down we will go down to 14 and do a U turn then come back up to services, or we going down to 14 and going to that pub that was mentioned, coz the southern shandy drinkers will be meeting at servs then traveling northbound to do a U turn at 15 before traveling home, i think its best to all meet at said pub north and south travellers wouldnt be put out.
PS, living south of brum = shandy pants, coz brummies brew a bloody good bitter. BANKS :drinking:

Convoy for us piss-drinking Southern barstewardss? - Not a great route for it though - Mostly M'way for me - M5 etc though I could head via a more easterly route.

So do we ahve a comfirmed place and time yet? Im getting confused with all this J14 services / Pub talk. Please keep it siomple for us simple folk :drool: :grin: :grin:
this is wot i was on about b4, to do that we have to travel south down to JKT 14 do a U turn, up to servs, meet talk look, jump back on M6 north to JKT 15 do another U turn south to 14 again, turn left to the pub. i was saying its probly best just going to the pub (dont know its name)So do we ahve a comfirmed place and time yet? Im getting confused with all this J14 services / Pub talk. Please keep it siomple for us simple folk :drool: :grin: :grin:
Saturday the 29/11/08 Stafford services M6 north 12:30pm
I think its between junction 14 - 15 the original plan was to meet here and go for a drive down the A50 stop half way down for lunch
But Rob who lives in the area suggested a different pub so i think the A50 drive has gone out the window and it is just a meet at the service station and then move onto the pub. :smiley: :grouphug:
Will have to try and get off work also, but should be ok.
Shirehorse is a nice Pub, theres an Audi main dealer opposite to have a nose around, and if you wanted can come to where i work which is 1 minute away.

Here you go TC, I believe this is what RR is referring to: -Will have to try and get off work also, but should be ok.

Rob
So is it easier to meet at the Shire Horse rather than the Services??
Does no one with a standard ED 30 fancy going to this i have never been in a ED 30 and i would like to compare it with one of the mapped ones.
I will buy someone a bag of cheese and onion if you would make the effort. :laugh:
Thanks for the post code MR Geek. :wink:

This depends entirely on whether I'm in the area at the time or not. Would have been up in the Midlands around that date coz it's my sis' b'day so would have gone up to visit her. Not sure she'd appreciate me running off for a bit. Anyway, turns out I'm working only three days this week so I have a super-extended weekend. Might go up then instead.
It's a way up from Bournemouth.
(where's a Hmmmm.... smiley when you need one?)
Seem to have missed this one - is it still on next week - can somone confirm time and place of the meet and what exactly's going on - I tried trawling through the thread just got lost half way through when someone mentioned donuts.
Cool, think that might be doable - where abouts?
well I was forgotten :sad:, but despite that I'll come if I can :P
don't forget john o :smiley:

You do know that we've all agreed that if the carpark is too small only VW's are allowed in :wink: :laugh:
Hurdy will be ok, he has his ride heigth set like a 4wd :signLOL:
^^^^
:signLOL:
Because I left my Monza 18's in Wolverhampton today, I'm on my spare Monza 17's and barely legal tyres. But even in the greasy conditions I was surprised how well the Quaife handled it. Yes, I got wheelspin but only for a very short time and without any juddering - Just very smooth. It's not quattro though!
