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

[beardymat]

Just had a call from Steve to tell me how utterly undriveable my car is even in the slightest snow, had it come round on him on a motorway slip road

Tried ringing you Scott, steves going to come to mine in his van so if you come in the 5 we can still go down.

[scott180gtb]

Going to set off in five. Hide your glass ornaments

[Jim320i]

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.

Plan is, its still on mate. Alot of people who said they were coming havent commented today which most likely means they wont be there, but a few others have so should have a few of us there atleast.

[Jim320i]

Last one from me as i'm about to leave out... I'm only 30 minutes away but need to grab my dad as he doesnt want to drive so he can have a drink... So might be there slightly earlier depending. See you all later.

Jim,

Cheers,
Jon

[The_Diddler]

Jon you girl its just a spot of rain

[The_Diddler]

Dot have to stand around outside, nice and warm in and we get to talk bollocks whilst no women around, win win

[staley_turbo]

The misses might be coming

[The_Diddler]

The misses might be coming

Doh

[Jim320i]

Good meet lads.

Weather held out for us too which was good, just cold.


Thanks all for coming along.

I didnt get any pictures but I noticed a few others did.

[beardymat]

Was a good meet, food in the pub was good too, nice venue.

Came away feeling a little ignorant once again as we didnt get chance to chat to everyone but thats what tends to happen i suppose, still there is always next time when maybe a few more e30`s will turn up mine included.

[Mungo1337]

Thanks for organising Jim, it was good to meet folks. I was surprised to see so many chromies, put my touring to shame I've stuck some pics up in the other forum.

[J6]

Good day today, shame we couldn't have stopped for longer but we enjoyed the company & the drive out to the venue, cheers Jim for organising it, great to see the E30s

[Wingnutleft]

Yeah good work Jim good meet and great company, was nice too see a reasonable turn out too even with the weather, will stick some pics up when I get a chance. Good to put a few faces to usernames too and meet some fellow zoners

[e30topless]

for such a sad miserable day it was a good meet, lots of pre-face action
the pub grub was good too

[Andyboy]

Aye, twas a good first meet - thanks Jim. Ignorant Northern Gits not mingling!

[Kedge]

Good effort for a wet Saturday afternoon in Febuary!

Bit of a novelty with all the pre-facelift action instead of Tech 2 Sport overdose

[Jim320i]

Cheers for coming girls. We should make a extra special effort this year with getting about to meets...


Not sure when Rav wants to start the next one up but i'm ready when ever. Dont want to step in and make another one as its Rav's job.

But I definately think we should tour around the midlands this year, making sure we have one in each major city or something.

[Rav335uk]

Jim, As always, I work different to the other Meets organisers and welcome suggestions for Mids Meets.
So If anyone has suggestions, fire away on locations

[Jim320i]

Good man Rav. I'll have a look into locations in Derby or Notts? I think save the Toby Carvery in Coventry for some good summer sunshine. Although there is no stopping us going there more than once.

[Andyboy]

I would keep your meet in one place. Folk will soon get used to it and it'll become a fixture. That pub was good yesterday - big car park and very good food.

[e30topless]

did anyone see where this guy went ? he was last seen running off towards a skoda with my cheeseburger

I got this photofit from the local plod,

I have just spat budweiser all over my laptop (makes a change from what it usually gets).

Diddler , no doubt, he looked like that when I dropped of the A/C parts to him and that was over 3 weeks ago

[The_Diddler]

fookers!!! the lot of yer

Incidently that moredoor was'nt all that close up so i left it to a brummie who turned up just after me and was amazed to find that genuine sport he'd always promised himself

[lee131]

Well my v5 arrived today?!?!?!?!? i mean FFS, i didnt turn up in the van for fear of being classed as a pikey,

[Jim320i]

But Lee, I thought you was a pikey? Should have come still mate, a few turned up in non E30's. They were also pikeys to my knowledge.

[Kedge]

I would keep your meet in one place. Folk will soon get used to it and it'll become a fixture. That pub was good yesterday - big car park and very good food.

The man has a point, the biggest attended meets always remain in the same place!

Come the summer months a meet in that location could prove quite popular if you wanted to extend it a other retro cars. Has been murmours of such a meet starting up in the area this year.

[Jim320i]

Aha! Means it pretty local for me then. Keeps my millege down.

your right i should've done really and yes im quite pikey TBH

[Rav335uk]

Well Toby Carvery stays, as it's central for a lot of Sotherners too

Not a bad idea at all actually... Might look at doing a monthly thing for Retro cars at the Forest Rock, I know they wouldnt mind at all... Would have to be a dead night for them though as I could see the car park filling up very very fast.


@Rav - The Cavery is a very good location, and like you say, its good for the southeners too, plus, loads of people already know where it is.

When shall we have another one then? I have nothing penciled for March yet.

[Rav335uk]

20th March?

[Jim320i]

Oooo. I'm in fella. Start a thread dude.
