Midlands Meet 19th Febuary, The Forest Rock. LE67 5GQ 2:00pm

[Rav335uk]

im deffo in, looking forward to dusting the beast off.

should be a couple of other shady looking northerners tagging along too.

not looking forward to the petrol bill

Rav if your going could you bring them council rimmz ?

Was going to call you ,you Northern "TIT" , was thinking the same thing
Will bring them with me

[Kedge]

Jim, you still ok to pick me up if needs be? If so gimme a ring before you leave yours to make sure i'm up, nightshift tonight

*******Warning to all of you as well**********

I'd advise avoiding the road up to the Forest Rock called Broom Leys Road which is what Sat Navs will probably tell you to go up from the A511. It has a couple of those god awful traffic calming red squares in the road however you can't straddle between them due to a central reservation so your car is gaurenteed to scrape over it, even standard height E30s i've had struggled.

My tip would to take the road prior to that called Hermitage Road (assuming your coming from the A42 direction), will be a left had turn off the roundabout Morrisons is on, the roundabout after MacDonalds and KFC.

Who edited my post to say 'I LOVE THE ZONE!!!!'?


Anyway... Yes Dave, I can grab you mate, no worries. Gonna be leaving mine about 1I think, down to junction 21 and down the motorway just to give the old girl a blast. Then got to wait for my old man to meet me off at the A50 junction as he is coming in his Beetle and only goes 50 so didnt want to convoy with us on the M1... I'll give you acall just before I leave, then give me 40 minutes from then or something.


Anyone else coming along?


BBC weather is saying Heavy rain, yet other sites are saying cloudy... We'll see in the morning I suppose! As long as it isnt snowing.

[kieran325]

My name isn't down but I'm not coming.

Hope all goes well.

[Jim320i]

You should come Kieran.

[kieran325]

It's a 240 mile round trip for me and the weather this side is turning shit now.

The M3 is tucked away in the garage so I might join it for the day.

[E30_Crazy]

Still planning on 2:00pm as on first post? That's perfect for me, means I have to leave by around quarter before noon. Should give me time for a quick rinse, and maybe even a vacuum!

[Kedge]

Yea still 14:00 mate

[Jim320i]

Morning all, weather is looking wet this morning where I am based, so assuming its wet there too... Weather forecasts it to be light rain all day, hopefully they are wrong and it stops.



Regardless, I'll be there.

[beardymat]

We have snow in Sheffield Not settling on the roads so assuming its not worse at Steve's end and he can get my M3 over here we should still be coming.

[e30topless]

Mate, it's pretty grim up here,
Hopefully the EVO chin spoiler will help clear the snow on my back road...

[beardymat]

hmm not lookin good is it, the beast really doesnt like moving in snow.

[e30topless]

it's your call Matt, I will be able to get it out i think, a very lively S50 + LSD can't imagine it would be good in the white stuff,

I don't want to break it

[beardymat]

been looking forward to this for ages but getting stuck in snow aint fun and crashing isnt any better. Im hoping it stops snowing and warms up a little but its coming down as fast as ever.

unless things improve vastly i think we may have to give it a miss.

[scott180gtb]

I will drive it Matt! Bring your crash Helmet

[The_Diddler]

I will drive it Matt! Bring your crash Helmet

Good call Scott, it'll need the cobwebs blowing off, i dont think Matt can handle this one

Mind i think Steve may tickle the loud pedal a bit on the way to Matts

[beardymat]

easy tiger

just spoke to Steve and hes going to go out and see what the situation is, regardless he wants to get it back to his unit for some dry storage so if its okay on the motorway he will keep coming down to mine. still not really settling on my road which is only quiet so we should be good.

get your helmet on scott.

and no excuses for you either diddly, get that skoda warmed up.

[scott180gtb]

If you still want to go we could always go in the big D

[beardymat]

as soon as i know what Steve thinks ill let you know so you can come on over and we can take it from there then.

[Jim320i]

Chromie is out and running sweet. Bit gutted about it being in the rain though, hoovering it in a moment just to give her a clean.


Weather, its been raining, but its slowing down so i'm hoping for just drizzle... Fingers crossed its just cloud.


A fair old few coming now then? Should be a good meet, shame there is no sunshine.

[mrjonchandler]

What's the plan, i'm still up for coming up, will prob have my lad with me. I don't really mind the wet as i'm driving the tourer. Can't believe how bad the snow is up Matt's way.

[Wingnutleft]

I'm about 2-3 away from the pub and although it is raining its not too bad at the moment. Is a bit on and off but nothing too heavy and no white stuff

[E30_Crazy]

Of course! It would be this morning that the ICV goes wonky! At least that's what I hope it is.... Starts just fine, and runs ok-ish. Only problem is after starting cold, the idle drops down to warm running idle, maybe a little lower. Might pull it off real quick to have a look. Whatever the case though, shouldn't keep me from coming.

Drizzling here too.
