Just figured out that, despite my car now running again, i cant make next months Mascrat either. Im in Wales. Bummer.
So im wondering if anyone from the area fancies a mini meet to catch up cos the last meet i made it to was November i think.
Not got any ideas for time or place yet but would have to be after Tuesday as thats when im getting the car taxed.
Anyone??
;) sounds good to me Gaz ......where ? how about the Wiggin Tree on top of Parbold hill maybe ? just an Idea :search:
I,ll take then bits we was chatting about off you then if you like ?
Cheers

Wiggin Tree is a decent spot yeah, and very close to me :)

Yes, probably 18:30 > 11pm if the weather stays nice.
Im always up for a chin wag matey :) Just let me know when :)
would do but obviously i cant due to lack of supra!
Count me in for any kind of Supra meet shananigans etc!!
Anytime and where!! Either Wiggin Tree or Yorkshire sounds good to me too!!

Must say im pretty tempted for a jaunt over to Yorkshire on Tuesday night if anyone is up for that. If there is enough will do that, if not then probably Wiggin Tree on top of Parbold hill Tuesday. How does that sound.

YEAH, come to Squires. Would be good to see you again with your new Supra.

Does it usually get packed. Theres no way i could get there for half 6 you see would be more like 7 to half past, would i still be able to get on the car park.

It'd be touch and go TBH. You could hope some Supra owners park inconsiderately and then closer together when you get there.;)
I'd be up for the wigan one :) give me a break from doing stuff in the house :( as it goes on the market next week :)
Could have a meet at your parents place, the drive is big enough.;)

When I rolled up to the Squires meet I ended up parked on the field opposite :( This wasn't too bad for me as I've got a reasonable clearance, but you might struggle Gaz.
I'd love to come along to this but I've got brake issues at the moment :(

Im a greedy person, lets have 2 cos i really fancy going to the Yorkshire one on Tuesday.
How bout a Wigan one at either the Wiggin Tree or Thatch And Thistle on A6 towards the back end of the week.
I know what you mean Rob our house has just gone on the market as well, was a pain getting it all sorted.

Its not too bad is it. You can see why i choose there to do all the work on my car.

Clearance is ok with the Stillen bumper but even so i think i may have to have a bit of lead foot along the M62 then to get there on time.
Im up for the squires run, is it tuesday? has anyone got the address as I have no clue where it is?

Ok well me and Paul (Havard) have decide to deffinately to the Squires run this Tuesday. As has mrmward now by the looks of it, so this is a call to anyone else that fancies a blast over there.
I know its a bit a long trek for a Tuesday night especially at short notice but it should be a good laugh and i just want an excuse to drive my car.
We are planning on heading off about 5ish, no later than half past i reckon though as it gets pretty busy according to Martin and Michael.
So come on who else is up for it.
1. Gaz
2. H
3. mrmward.

Quality, this could turn into a nice little convoy after all. The "plan" so far is to head up the M61 --> M60 --> M62 so if you wanna come to mine Ian, then we will go across to H's and onto the M61?? How does that sound??

I find the M62 > New A1 Link road > A1 > Sherburn route easier these days

Either of these 2 routes is fine by me. So Ian will you be able to get to mine for 5 you reckon, give us best possible chance of getting there for half 6??

Might be better meeting at Pauls to save me coming out to Standish then backover to Pauls it,ll give me more time so to speak but im Hoping to "escape" early like 4:45 at the earliest

Depending on the traffic I reckon you can get to Leeds in an hour. I have never been that way at that time though!!:rolleyes:
Like the sound of this convoy though!! You turbo boys will have to wait for me to catch you up though!!;)

Traffic will be pretty heavy on the M62 i reckon, plus its just the other side of Leeds so will have to deal with the Leeds traffic as well.
I drove from SW Leeds to Sherburn last week. Left at five and found the traffic heavy but not particularly slow moving.
The way I go is M62 > new A1 > A63 turning > 1st exit on roundabout > next roundabout > old A1 north > B1222 into Sherburn.
Sat nav seems totally confused by the new A1 sections though.

Yeah id be up for a meet around the Lakes area. When you thinking of??
As Mascrat is a little too far for me for a regular meetup I was just thinking of a possible Blackpool seafront cruise - its been a while since I was down that area.....or if you want a Lakes area meet up I could chuck something together?
This weekend is looking very warm and sunny. (According to the forecast - be perfect to get a number of Supras together).
;)
Not wanting to hijack any plans already made by the way.
Just suggesting a few possibilities. :)
I wont be able to make this mini-meet now guys, apologies. :(

Sorry about the "slow" cornering on the way Home guys i was trying not to let the UK calipers destroy my boot !! forgot at the first bend until i heard a Big Thud !! :blink: they are heavy buggers LOL
Cheers
Ian
Enjoyed the drive there and back. Good meet too!
Had to laugh as I was the last to leave the meet and lost sight of the other Supes and shot past the road leading back to the A1. Reversed a blasted down to the roundabout to find 3 Supes waiting for me!!:)
We must write up in the "Spirited Driving Chronicles" about the blue Fiat Panda that passed us all at about a tonne on the M62. We were all OWNED!!

Was a class night. Really enjoyed the drive over there and couldnt believe the amount of Supras over there. Pasties were pretty good also.
Right so onto the next mini meet. Options are Blackpool seafront or South lakes somewhere.
