UK meet No.5?

[TheJoyOfSix]

Ok guys, ideas please.


I propose a get together/gatecrash of the Volvo300Mania meet at Gaydon Motor Museum on November 7th. We'll show them what a real Volvo is................

[CHESH740R]

Can we all meet up about 30miles from there and go in convoy, cos i'm sick to death of getting to the last 30miles from a meet and then the AA directions get me completley lost.

This has happened to me know going to Gaydon, going to Kinver, Going to the Rolling Road.

Heck if we had a meet at santapod i'm sure i'd find a way to get lost and its only 8 miles from me.

[1stRaven]

I'm in. I know we were talking about meeting at the end of october and i will need some help with wiring in new lights so this meet sounds perfect.

I have seen a banner manfucturer with a sale on at the moment. £2 pre Sq Ft so if you really want to storm their meet, can always get a banner made up eg turbobricks.com or something and unfold it there.

Convoy sounds good as long as you are slow enough for the derv support car. Chesh - you got tb meeting place to mind?

[CHESH740R]

I think we should just get a loud PA speaker system and play ride of the Valkaries as we come gatecrashing into their meet with boostly goodnesss and loud NA Power from Rupert.

[Dr Dokeh]

I might actually come to this one, I might actually have a proper car too!

[1stRaven]

i've got loud system but rupert will drown out most things (apart from a boost derv of course!)

My car is also getting serviced and mot'd on the 22nd, so hopefully it will pass and be running well.

[volvorsport]

Nov 7th will be about the same time you want to come back on the rollers chesh

[TheJoyOfSix]

Don't worry Chesh, it's quite easy to find.

Come off the M40 at Jnc12, turn SE (left for those heading to Brum, right for those heading to London), up to the cross roads, turn right and the museum is about 1/4 mile on the left hand side. It is even signposted from the Motorway.

[grizlyadams]

Well you know im going to be there...... :-( :-D :badboy: :-P

Griz

[CHESH740R]

I might actually have to drop out of the Gaydon event, the petrol money getting there and back could be better spent on these ****ty ****ing rusty cars i own.

[foggyjames]

Glad to hear you decided to consult me! :-P I'll see what everyone thinks and let you know :)

cheers

James

[1stRaven]

mmm, yea im going to shove huge turbo and injectors on the poor old 236k mile komfort motor and see how much boost she takes to blow up.....with any luck on the rollers, maxing them out ;-)

Griz

[Dr Dokeh]

I'm 99% sure i'm coming this time, it's only 120ish miles so I shouldn't have to stop at a petrol station with a dodgy pump that doesn't stop when the tank is full and spray petrol all over myself again :grrr:

[foggyjames]

Yet more punishment for owning a 400 series?! ;)

cheers

James

[grizlyadams]

what we need is for rupert do fo a huge smoky burnout in the beast and scare the crap out the poor little 300 girls :badboy: ;-)

I carnt remember if you have to pay just to dangle in their carpark or not...? any ideas, and will we get moved on??

Griz

[foggyjames]

Griz there, getting henchman Rupert to do his dirty work for him....presumably because last time he tried car-acrobatics, he just understeered like crazy! Arf arf arf...

cheers

Griz

[1stRaven]

Are we on then? Same details?

One surprise of mine has died a death due to lack of funds (damm mot!)

[foggyjames]

Yes, it's happening. You guys are more than welcome to turn up, but remember you're tacking on to our meet :-P This is a local meet for local people....

Hehe... I just remembered this classic quote from Comrade Rupert...

We'll show them what a real Volvo is................

You mean like this one....

I prefer the terms - Gatecrashing / Invading!

[Dr Dokeh]

Same here, I'll be bringing the 460, which has now miraculously stopped leaking since a switch to Castrol GTX, awesome stuff.

[foggyjames]

Excellent - so what is the attendance count from Tbricks?

Rupert
Griz
Dr Doke
Ryan
Chesh?

This will be the biggest non-VOC meet that I'm aware of...

James

I believe i'm gonna actually miss this one, as a mate just rung me last night to remind me that were suposed to be going Mountain Biking in Wales that weekend.

Not the easiest thing to get out of as we've rented a cottage to stay in whilst there.

Oh well have fun, at least someone else can have a turn at having the fastest car there. HA HA

[1stRaven]

No Rice mobile?

It wont be a TB meet without it!

It wouldnt have been there anyway mate, its got no MOT at the moment, and theres currently no plans to get it one.

[1stRaven]

True, forgot about that.

Would have meant that i had a Derv brother at the meet thou.

[CHESH740R]

Nah you wouldnt i would have come up in my 740 Turbor Saloon.

[1stRaven]

Doh!

[foggyjames]

I think that would make Rupert's 760 the fastest car at the meet...even if he brings the LPG one!

cheers

James

[1stRaven]

So whats the finally count for sunday?

[foggyjames]

Somewhere between 10 and 15 :)

Not bad! It's pretty sad that the UK tbrickers get owned on numbers by 300 series fans :-P

cheers

James

[volvorsport]

unless i bring me turbo - which meant it wouldnt be , but im dubious since ive got to spend some time with the missus before i have my serious operation , as she likes to call it .

[grizlyadams]
