View Full Version : CJ & Martin R send off (meet, eat (& sleep))
:trumpet: Attention please! :trumpet:
As most of you will know, CJ is off to Kos, and Martin R is moving to Scotland. :bye:
EDIT - And without me realising Ian R has also moved! Hopefully Ian will be with us on the day too so we can say a belated goodbye.
We can't let these chaps just leave so a send-off is in order! :friday:
We shall meet on Saturday 26th May at 3pm at the Barn Owl pub, just off Junction 6 of the M5. Postcode is WR4 9UP for you sat-nav-ers. :thumbs:
It's 5 mins from the M42, about 20 mins drive from the top of the M40 and 15mins from the M50. It's nice and accessible so there are no excuses for not coming and saying bye! :)
(map (http://www.multimap.com/maps/#t=l&map=52.21293,-2.17727|15|4&loc=GB:52.21293:-2.17727:16|WR4%209UP|WR4%209UP))
The pub does food - hence eat - whenever the urge takes you just order away; the layout of the pub is pretty casual. I'm not going to book tables as it'll get far too complicated to manage and there isn't really any need (prepares to eat his hat...).
If you are traveling from afar (or just want to get bladdered) and want somewhere to stay over (sleep), there is a Premier Travel Inn less than half a mile walk away; £55/room.

For the time being, get your names down...

So there are no excuses for not going .....................

lol :D
I gave my mates hamster some beer at the weekend, he/she/it was loving it! I'm sure I fed some other animal some cider recently, too, I forget what though as Kate was more annoyed with me that I kissed her afterwards - and that I'd drunk from the same can in-between. ;)
Link to the nearby Travel Inn has been added to first post. :thumbs:
Bugger, i am at my mates wedding that day so wont be able to come down. :(

Excellent Doug, look forward to seeing you :)
If it's nice weather on the Sunday a potter about on the Malvern Hills may be in order! :)
I'll be there too.
nice one:d
I have a slight problem in that Daniel (my eldest son) wont get to Abingdon until about 16:30 so we cannot get there until about 17:30.
providing I can get the other 2 wheels on my car by then I will try my hardest to make it.

Hurrah! :)
Worcester's Train stations (Shrub Hill perferably but Forgate Street is only a little further away) are no more than 10 mins drive away from the pub - I'll be driving so can pick them up if they end up coming on the train and that option is any help mate? :)
Im there :D
The more the merrier :)
Have you got the postcode for the pub please Steve?

Got my car back today so I will be there too! Touch wood. :)
I would dearly love to come and give CJ a big send off but Im going to be in great yarmouth with the family. Any other weekend would have been fine.

With this sort of competition I'm not sure whether I should bring the Supe or my badass Scorpio with flaking roof laquer. :D
Should I borrow the company diesel van for the day then?
Blimey, its like the christmas meet all over again. If i'm going to be the odd one out in a supe, i'll have to ask the missus if i can borrow her galaxy:p
Who can bring the sh**est car competition?
Award for show & sh1te? :D
Steve, I'll give you a call tomorrow to make arrangements. :)

OK matey - I was just about to PM you but I won't bother now as it's easier to talk :)
Count me in (assuming car is all fixed. It's booked in Wednesday - Friday)

If we are having food, we had better get there before Henk as he takes a lot of filling! :d :p
Ste is this the same pub as last time?

Looking forward to it, meeting & the big trip.....

Cheeky! CJ, neither of us look like the type of people to hang back in the BBQ queue ;) Or do erroneously remember you elbowing me out of the TurboFit BBQ queue......
I'd have to have bloody big elbows to shift you big guy! :d
Ste is this the same pub as last time?
lol no mate - you said you wanted to avoid that one. This one is about half a mile off J6 rather than J7 (so 1 junciton nearer to you).
The roundabout at the motorway exit is pretty large/tricky/confusing - just make sure you take the correct exit - the one just after the Northbound M5 traffic's off-slip, if that makes sense? :search:
I think I know this pub then, pretty sure it used to be called something else years ago. Think it's the same one we had a Japworcs meet at last summer. Great pub if it's the one.
Can't wait to see you all :)
Anyone mind if I take the top of their dash off to test out my hazard lights? I think my button maybe buggered (Here's hoping cos if it's not I've no idea what it is!)

My dash has been on and off so many times, once more won't hurt. I'll throw some tools/wire in the car with me.
Steve,
anything on weekend of 8-10 June as I am in Birmingham all weekend !! :search:

Pete - assuming I'm in the Supe your'e welcome to borrow my dash top bit too, if required. Not sure if you've done it before but it's a 2 min job to remove so no issue at all. :)

I can't remember off the top of my head where I am that weekend (here or Sheffield) but if I'm around we should at least meet up for a pint if nothing else. That reminds me, I owe you several beers and at least 2 litres of purple oil! :D

I'll break the Supe out then, it's as good an excuse as any. ;)
Not sure when Trick will be arriving but I'll be there from 3pm (as organiser I owt to be!) if you're particularly keen to get started.
IIRC you only need a screwdriver to get to the bit you're after(?), but don't depend on me to bring anything cos I'll probably forget! :)

All my screws are out anyway :D
I'm leaving here at 14:30 with a mate so should be there 15:15 ish I guess.
If you want to leave a bit earlier and call in at mine on the way, feel free, its probably easier to do it here than try to sort it out in a pub car park.

Thanks v.much for the offer mate, but I've got a fair bit to do in the morning anyway. :(
It won't take a sec to try another switch anyway.
Can't make it..:(
Good luck and best wishes to CJ and Martin. :)
Regards
Andy
I'm going to be there at around 3 but my sons wont make it until about 5
I have 5l of Silkolene Pro S 5-w40 engine oil that has not been opened for sale. First £25 at the meet this afternoon takes it :)

That mean you sorted then mate?

I ran a temporary wire so I know it's not the switch and I can fudge it in time for MOT retest. Just wish I know where it was actually broken.
Hanging upside down in the passenger footwell isn't very comfy and I don't have time to trace properly as I'm due out the door to meet you in 5 mins!
Good stuff Pete, see you in about 40 mins. Last to the bar buys the beers :d
Forgot to mention that the pub sells strapamanon beer, if you see me going near that pump give me a slap please mate :d
Damn - I missed an opportunity to give you a slap!
Great seeing everyone again.

"Burnas UK MkIV. It's shit" LOL brilliant Pete and I agree :)
Although my car is not named the jinx git face - it's actually called " Fu%$£ng g^y piece of s**t!".............. Thank you
Haven't long got in and wanted to thank everyone for a great day. ;) Big thanks to Steve R for organising it and to lots of folks for turning up. :)

Ok mate, changed it for you. :p
Sorry for the comment earlier - I felt bad about it on the way home. I just couldn't bite my lip when I knew it would raise a laugh. :innocent:
Just got home. Big thanks to Steve R for organising this after Burna dropped it in his lap. :D
Very nice to catch up with some old friends and meet some new ones, and spend a whole afternoon and evening, enduring all the p1ss taking. Thanks guys, just what i needed. That was a nice little get together. After every meet be it big or small, it always reminds me why I wanted to join, and why I continue to stay.
:grouphug: :)

I should've done a toast. In lieu of not doing it then I'll do it now.

I see those drugs are now kicking in :d Great to see you Vanessa and Milly again. Sorry about all the bad back jokes, but after you said it really started playing up after a lovey dovey donut weekend away with the mrs I think we all lost any sympathy for you ;) Hope you feel better soon mate, wasn't nice seeing you struggle, I'll be your crutch at JAE :)

P.S. Were you wearing black pants Col?
So, did anyone do the sleeping part? :d

That was a bit of a shame really as only Steve - Supra61 did. It was one of his first meets and I think he was led to believe it'd be a bit of a late one with plenty of beers. It didn't turn out that way though, I left him and his wife with Burna and TrickTT at about 19:30
Nice pics there Pete, and nice to meet a few new faces too.
Me, Burna and Steve managed to make it until about 10:30 before Jo and Ann got sick of us talking about cars:)
Was great meeting you guys, some again and some for the first time.
Will see if I any of my video footage is embarrassing for Burna :)
hi guys and gals.nice to meet new people.thanks to trick,burna and jo was an enjoyable time.hope to meet up at jae.

Sorry for not making it down, i overdid it in the morning while working on my car and hurt my back :d
I didn't fancy the drive while it was giving me grief.

No excuse given the state Doug was in. ;)
He was walking around like he'd filled his pants all day. Poor chap was in loads of discomfort.

Was great to see everyone, Kate, Daniel and I all enjoyed the day - like Doug says, it's part of why being a Supra owner is so good :D
All the best to those heading to far flung places, and the same goes (albeit a tad belated!) to Ian R, too. Will miss you all (then again I'll see Martin & Ian again in 6 weeks so maybe not that much ;))
Sorry I couldn't make this work work work at the moment. Looking forward to the ring :thumbs:
I did a moonlight disappearing act.
But sorry fella's will still be making cameo appearances on the Midlands meets :d
Ian,

Your knees are hurting Burna because you're old and fat. Even your balls are suffering age related problems but you choose to blame it on your 'new exhaust'. My arse! :p
