Cheers Paul. Few different reasons, moving house, getting married next year, the paranoia that comes with owning a Supra. Basically id rather have the money in the bank at this moment in time rather than sat on the driveway being an expensive ornanment.

I do if lube up first :d

Thanks Paul :blush:
I used Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo Wash with a wash mitt (2 bucket method)
I then used the Clay bar detailing system all over the car keeping it lubricated all the time.
The car was then rinsed off and dried with a waffle cloth
Meguiars Crystal Paint cleaner on with an applicator sponge and off with a microfibre cloth
Meguiars Crystal Polish on with an applicator sponge and off with a terry towel
Meguiars Crystal Carnauba Wax on with an applicator sponge and off with a terry towel
I only got chance to wax it once ...
I was basing it on Lewis' car cleaning process I'll try and dig out a link

It's a bit of a trek down for you all, I'm not sure what time this event starts or finishes but I'm thinking that I could get a few takers to come up on a different weekend for a meet.
The guys here are also looking to organise another drive around Wales - see the pancakes thread in the North West

hi guys
my first meet tonight, quite a police presence:rolleyes:
didn't get chance to speak to any of you, cos i don't know what any of you guy's look like, and all the Supra's i saw there, had nobody near them, apart from one. A lovely silver n/a with loads of shiny metal panels and covers under the bonnet, but he was busy talking to some people, so didn't want to interupt.
seemed like a good turn out, is it always like that, or was it unusual?
got there a bit late, police were passing out fines to people and they wouldnt even let us in :(

Hi Buddy, sorry you didn't get chance to meet any of us, It was a bit busier than usual early on so where normally we would usually park up together we ended up getting split up.
That silver NA would have been Ray's (theroof) you should have just interrupted, we're all friendly enough.
Shame about the Police, even though we're all well behaved, they seemed to take delight in getting their tape measures out and checking the legality of our plates. Needless to say they aren't usually there and they actually forced people to leave early because of their presence.
Mike

Sorry mate, I think a few members got turned away - we're thinking about splitting our meet off to a different time and place if this continues :(
Mike
Great Drive out and back
shame about the police , it seemed the topic of the night
great to see familiar faces sober
we left shortly after to police did (full sized plate didnt slow me down too much);)
looking forward to seeing you guys again soon
jamie
it was a shame we drove past and saw lots of wonderful looking cars and then got turned away, never mind get there earlier next time ;)
Right then peeps
the owner of mascrat has had complaints about peoples attitudes towards customers and staff. there seems to be boy racers turning up every monday and racing. its all got a little out of hand. the police told me tonight they want to shut the meet down , and are taring us all with th same brush. next month there will be a meet but only japnorthwest members will be allowed on the car park. we will need the registration number from members who are going to attend. further details will be posted shortly.
and
last month a pregnant women couldnt get out of the car park !! it took her an hour. the pub staff where abused tonight and mandy (the landlady) was to. the pub has had complaints about people being rude to them.
not looking too good for next month either we sign up on JapNorthWest forum or we go elsewhere :search: It'll be chaos next month if they start turning us away, but I guess it was always JapNorthWest's meet and even though we were always welcome, we can't object if they're changing the rules.
Mike
I can also see why the police were pissed!

Like i said last night Mike its going to be easier to change the venue and day tbh. They were saying that they would block off the far end of the car park for Jap North West cars but you would have to sign up. The thing is we now how many cars that will be and there just isnt going to be enough room in that far end so unless we plan on getting there very very early then it probably wont be worth it.
Shame really cos they really did spoil it last night. Made it home safe though without my plate on :)

How did you manage that Gaz?? Had the Police gone by the time you left??
I would also like to see a Supra only meet. I fear that that will be my last visit to Mascrat.....:(
H.
Looks like my first and last time unfortunately unless something gets sorted out
Looks like my first and last time unfortunately unless something gets sorted out
I was furious to be honest! My wife Vicki kept telling me to keep away from the coppers as I was dying to find their justification for 5 cars and 8 officers to basically do everyone for parking on the pavement or having too small a number plate. Only 2 days before a mate of mine was kicked to death less than a mile away from the meet.
Where were those b@stards then?? I was thinking about writing to the chief constable of Cheshire Police to ask if he thought it was a worthy use of Police resources. Funny thing was that the pavement was next to a motorway sliproad where pedestrians aren't allowed anyway.....WTF!!
As an ex copper I felt glad that I had left the force as their priorities are now so far away from the real issues. Making money is all that matters!! I know there are some good coppers but they are now in a small minority....:(
You should have seen their faces as the Supra trundled past with a plate blu tac'd on to the front......:d

Lucky boy!! My plate stayed on all the way home too.....:d
I was stopped by some of the people on the way out giving me the thumbs up for having a legal plate obviously stuck on top of my semi legal one......:sly:
H.
Can not just change the day i.e. Friday so we can all stay late and not worry about work the next day.
Its a shame as it really ruined the night.
Ive got a feeling we have not heard the last of it either, I spotted they were writing down all registration numbers as people left, I did not get stopped but I did get noted down!!
Does anyone know if they can just issue fines through the post? Kates convinced they can't but I dont see why not, they issue speeding fines through the post!

:) Was a good meeting but like has been said before the "Police" didnt do anything for the atmosfear of the place, Like everybody else I'm up for a "supra" only meeting
I think the Japnorthwest meeting has out grown the venue IMO its far too small now it need to move asap and stop the "kids" racing if possable....although ive not witnessed any of it
I feel Sorry and upset for the Wales and Birmingham Crew that made the effort to come up to the meeting to have all that happend spoil it,hope you all "Escaped" and got home ok :thumbs:
So to another venue OR keep the same venue and have it another night maybe ?? we have had some "mini" meetings at the Charnley Arms Pub/restaurant or any other suggestions ??
Cheers
-Ian-
sorry didn't make it last night peoples. last week the valeter at work drive my car into the kerb as he was parking it up to clean it so i didn't fancy turning up with a cracked front bumper :( plus it was first day back in work after a week off & i had quite a bit to catch up on so didn't leave there till 7ish
doesn't sound like i would have got in anyway turning up late but i think Mascrat has gone downhill the past 6 months really with lots of scrotes turning up in nothing like Jap cars & looking dodgy round the cars!
bring on the new meet!

Mike,

One venue that has been talked about is the Charnley Arms at Standish. We have had a couple of mini meets there, its a decent pub with a good sized car park and im sure the owners wouldnt object to a Supra Only meet (its only round the corner from me at the moment so ill bob in and ask them).
Another place i thought of, if you want a more scenic spot, is The Wiggin Tree at the top of Parbold Hill. Again, nice big pub/restaurant with big carpark, there's usually an ice cream van outside (:)) and decent views.
I journeyed up from Birmingham, met up with ray, and carried on up. A bit out of my territory but wanted to give it a go and meet some of the NW gang on their home ground ;)
Some fabulous cars there and enjoyed meeting our lot :D
It was a shame about the police presence, so pointless and aggravating when they should be off tackling crime, instead of harassing peacful folk having a bit of social interaction :stickpoke I was bricking it as I dont have a plate yet.... the bumper still being so new ya know :whistle::d
Unfortunately for me anything further north would be out of the question but hope you guys get a scenic and more friendly alternative sorted for next month, not worth the hassle of going back to mascrat IMO.

Was nice to meet you Linda and nice one for making the journey over for it, bit of a trek for you. :)
I enjoyed the night. It was good to see you all again. We got a bit lucky coming out as there was only 1 copper left who had already pulled someone, which left the path clear for us. I dont think they got down to our corner.
I would definately be up for a splinter group though. Always nice seeing other makes and models there is always something rather nice being supras only.

In contrast I couldn't give a monkeys about the other jap models as they are not as nice as the Supra.......:sly: The idea of the Wiggin tree is a good un'
I am going to do a bit of venue hunting in the next couple of weeks whilst out and about!

Just off Junction 27 of the M6 so about 20 mins further up from Mascrat.

closer or further away from Stoke (i am shit with directions)
Rovervi: just a bit futher for you I'm afraid.
Leon: Friday night is sound in principle but unfortunately the pubs tend to get busy for the very same reason you suggested it.
Tom S: Yeah I'm thinking that Mascrat has held it's last - I get the feeling from the JapNorthWest Forum that the owners are taking abuse so the meet is probably losing credibility with the owners, and I wouldn't want to be near when they eventually turn cars away - I can imagine it might get a bit ugly, and I wouldn't want our club associated with it.
Wiggin tree might be an option - Whilst I'm conscious that I don't want to move too far from the regulars who travel North from Stoke and Staffs, I'm also thinking it might be nice to try and entice some of the Lancaster guys back and some of the Yorkshire tribe across. Ross and Suzy (Kn1ght) mentioned that they would be interested in a more central meet (West of Leeds)

Well looks like it was a good one to miss! I was going to come down later on but glad that I didnt now.
It had been mentioned afew times in the last few months about the non-jap cars and townies turning up. Maybe its for the best we have a change, its defo not worth the hassel of having anything happen to your car or the police making life hard for us all.
I will defo be keeping my eyes open for new places when I eventually get out and about again.

I've just got back from camping & missed mascrat on monday!.. Just read through the thread and i'm gutted to say the least!... I can't see why JNW can't find another, bigger location. It was getting a bit of a joke trying to squeeze onto the car park and then re-arranging cars when people were leaving. I quite liked wandering around looking at all the different cars. Lets be honest, there were some awesome one's, not just supras! I'm sure there are a few of us that would trade in for a R34 GTR Skyline given half the chance! :D
I'm still up for a supra only meet though, always have been! Just try not to make it too far north eh? ;)

Was out and about the other day and spotted somewhere that looked ok for a meet in Bolton, just off the motorway to. Tavern on the hill, hunger hill, bolton. I think a plenty big enough car park for a Supra only meet and never many cars on there at all that I have seen. Not sure what the food&prices are like but I could always go and find out if anyone would be interested.

Thanks Adam! I am going to reply to the paper later!
I am absolutely fuming about this! As an ex member of GMP I was appalled by the petty, arrogant attitude of the police. A lot of genuine, law abiding citizens were made to feel like criminals. They actually achieved nothing bar make a few quid for the forces coffers!
It's typical of todays police force to concentrate on all the "small" issues and try to crack a wallnut with a sledge hammer. 8 officers and 5 vehicles were there at one point and for what?
To stop someone possibly blocking the entrance and get a few people for illegal plates.......big deal! How many peoples tyres did they check etc?
Shame about the guy who was murdered just down the road two days before being kicked to death by 8 youths!!
Where were you b@stards then??
I refuse to return to Mascrat as the management are hypocrites. They are happy to take the money but don't want anything to do with the chav element that has started to surface!! So everyone suffers as they can't deal with the minority effectively.
Rant over!
H.
:iagree:
Utter Bo$$ocks!! They were there to make money and thats it! Why did the owners of Mascrat just not speak to the clubs and tell them about the problems before contacting the police.
That explains why they were writing down number plates - reporting to the DVLA!!
I think Mascrat are going to have a shock on the 10th when no one is there and profits are down!

But will they?? I have a feeling that nothing will change. It needs a group to get together and find a new venue. I am running the risk of ending out on a limb here but I will not go back!
I heard the female manager slagging us all off to her staff and obviously didn't realise I was there. She told them "we'll get rid of them one way or another!!"....:blink:
An hour later when the Police were making a right balls of it, she changed her tune and said it was the Police who has instigated everything and they were innocent! Bollocks!
Wiggin Tree anyone?? I might be there on my own on the 10th but at least I won't run the risk of getting arrested!:(

Cant believe that. The police are in a world of their own. There was no trouble or messing around. And from what I gather there never has been. Granted a few cars were parked in places that may not have been that sensible, but when the traffic warden says to park there thats what you do. A friendly word would have been a lot easier than issuing fines.
All in all it was a nice friendly atmosphere untill the boys in blue arrived, putting a lot of tension in the air.
Wiggin Tree or the other place sugested sounds good for the 10th!
Can you post some directions and estimated time of start please. I would love to come but all depends on getting there after work.

Cheers sharpie:) Hows the car now? Have you had it back yet?
No, not yet. Don't know the outcome yet since, it was an unscheduled drop off and Chris is a busy chap….all in good time. Thanks for asking :)
I'll still come along in my Volvo and park out of the way of the soops :D
Fair point:) Well good luck with it matey:)
sorry,
but complete b****ks. I drove to meet the gang and go to Mascrat to see some friends, I spent in excess of £100 not including food (which I paid for) to spend time with my afore mentioned friends.
My response is f*** them and find some where else with approval from the owners and make the new venue some money, Mascrat will soon wish they were sorry
anybody going to mascrat ??cant work out if its worth going or not this month
If anyone does go, just try not to park on the grass :p
I was sorry that i missed last month being on holiday and TBH i really enjoy the mascrat meet, but if this is how we are going to be treated then the Wiggan tree or something similar is the way forward!
Jase you still got that panel buddy ;) :D
I'll be able to drive again, so I'd be up for a meet at the Wiggin Tree. I think Mascrat should be abandoned by us all now.
Yea but mascrat is two for one on grub. And its good grub if you ask me:)

Aye. I brought it down with me at the last meet, but didnt realise you where on ya jollies. I will bring it down to next meet, whenever it is.
Right then boys and girls. Following the excellent atmosphere at Mascrat last month, I'm thinking that we'll all be happy to meet up once more. However as I'm sure all who were there will agree that the management at "the Manor" will not be graced with our presence any time soon.
Therefore I propose that this month we (respectfully) descend on the Wiggin Tree at Parbold for a private MkIV meet.
10th September to keep with tradition, and shall we say 19:00 hours?
I'm thinking of popping along one night this week to politely ask whether we'll be welcome - unless Paul wants to pop in (being a local and all that)

No pics at present, but I've been reliably informed that it's a suitable location, and is in easy access of the M6. I'm not certin what the best approach route would be for you Rob, either follow the M62 to the M6 and head North, or take the M61 to the M6 and head south (watching for the brief hop onto the M65).
Mike
Yep sounds good mike. Shall see you there.
Either me or Paul will nip in (but it will probably get to Wed this week) and suss out the reception at the Wiggin Tree. I would have thought that it would be quiet on a week day night, unless the weather suddenly becomes tropical!
There are nice views from up there, but beware the speed camera at the bottom of the hill on the Parbold side! Not sure if it is a 30mph or 40mph limit.:Pling:

Maybe a good idea for any of those "foreigners" to meet up with some of us before the Pub so we can take them through the Red Rock Run. Will be quicker than going all the way round on the motorway.
I'll be there. :)

Think its a real shame about Mascrat. I for one loved the fact that there were other cars to look at and other drivers could look at ours. food was always good too and very good value! umm, chicken and bacon burger!!
Anyway, i'll be there.
Hopefully the new venue wont put people like Dr Doom and Rays the Roof from coming up, as its quite a bit further for the (further south that mascrat) peeps to come.
P.s are there not other Jap meets in the NW we could go to? or is Macrat the only montly venue for jap meets?!
Anyway, i'll be there.
Well you hope ;)
