David P Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 tone, Unless you're in the in club, that's the way it is. Best to regard Suprapod and Stickweeds Park as local meets and if you expect company, take a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty71 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Stick with it mate. I dont know what it is at the moment but not many people want to come out to play. You could come up to one of Wilko's Chesterfield meets. Only up the M1 for you (bit of a trek I know) Its not the club , you have to think like the scoobies have small regional clubs, this is for the whole of the UK Your right though should be more of a social thing.. come on Northants peeps get your Supra's out to play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fizzle Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 been on here 3 years and theres never been many local meets, generally not the carpark types round here.. mostly "older" members (no offence).. but mr richie and evinX are younger lads (and i'm sure a few others) enjoy a roll round town etc.. Guigsy is also a member of japmids and goes to a few more meets! theres usually a convoy to the larger meets, meet at sixfields mcD's for a muffin and chat then head to where ever, which is a chance to see the local faces before being ignored by the rest of the club (only joking!).. i usually bring a mate along but they are a friendly bunch and if you make the effort i'm sure you will be welcomed with open arms, especially if you have large b00bs!!

Guigsy Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 There are some great cars arround northants but they are just quiet members. Sedge and chunk (yellow aero 6 speed single conversion) for example and Steve the mod doesn't get out much . But our meets just never seem to get numbers I've tried to arrange them. I get 7-8 names then 2-3 turn up so gave up. If someone arranges a meet I'll cone along. I used to go to lots of shows but im married now so the odd one and event here and there. I went to japmids every month till they buggered arround with the meet locations. The site is prety dead now tho. If your saying the 10 quid isn't worth it because there are no meets your missing the point IMO the site is way more active than most I've used. Only the vr4 forum which includes Australia and new zealand comes close. And the meet frequency there is less and its more expensive to join. Also not everyone has time or money to attend meets every few weeks. I'm in France ATM with 30 odd supra owners. And then there is supra pod soonish. Ace cafe meets. And show stands and convoys at japshow and jae etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you do get to a show you won't know who the individual members are, unless they happen to have a face that looks like a gorgeous womans arse. i dont have a gorgeous womens body, but i have a supra, so surely if i post a pic of it up, people will recoqnise the car and come say hello to a newbie been on here 3 years and theres never been many local meets, generally not the carpark types round here.. mostly "older" members (no offence).. but mr richie and evinX are younger lads (and i'm sure a few others) enjoy a roll round town etc..

Shane is busy being a born again dad, Fizzle is fizzle and I'm not yet acquainted with any other local members. I live in Kettering too, so if you fancy a pint with a supersonic fogey, let me know. a fella being a father is far more important the car meet, so need say no more about that, if fizzle is fizzle lol, he doesnt sound to bad surely if people arent aquainted with meeting local members, thats got to be a better reason to get out and meet some? yeah, david, im more than up for a meet and to have a look of your motor, out of interested, do you have a private reg ending in SUP? i may have seen it down at KRS as i work next door to them keep me posted... i'll pop over Tone - you will easily get your £10 worth in the parts for sale bit... dread to think what i would of spent without the help of the club.. And No david i havent fitted the fuel filter yet, i fell out of love with her lately so havent spent any time or cash on her, have even been looking at other cars (old beetles, lol) well other than having my PMs ignored asking for service prices and details about people who can get me good prices on OEM parts, its like people dont want my money and surely you cannot replace a supra with a beetle lol, thats such a backwards step and you would miss her There are some great cars arround northants but they are just quiet members.

David P Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) Kettering is central to Corby & Northampton. I propose a meet @ The Piper, Windmill Avenue, Kettering. (Next to Stickweeds Park) They prepare the best traditional Sunday roast I have found and for only circa £7. They also have 7 well kept real ales and plenty of girls beers too. Eating and/or drinking is optional, pay on the day. Simples Turn up around 1pm munch if you want @ 3pm, reservation advised, pick a May Sunday, any would suit me. 15th 22nd 29th Edited May 9, 2011 by David P (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David P Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 (edited) O.K. The Piper 29th May it is. There are plenty of 'safe' places to park a Supra in and around the pub grounds. Turn up from 1pm, munch if you want @ around 3pm, no need to wear a badge with your avatar, the staff will know where we are. Sunday lunch menu is traditional only and is the best pub roast I have found. Generously carved portions of beef and turkey or gammon, served with both new potatoes and roasties, broccoli, Savoy cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, swede, Yorkshire pudding, gravy and special recipe stuffing. Only £7.25 on the day and you will be pogged if you can manage it. I will need to give them a clue a week before thereabouts, as to how many, thereabout. If you may be dropping in for a liquid lunch, or even just a smoke in the garden, post it up, it helps the 'I will if you will's'. Everyone is welcomed and eating is an optional extra, I just need to know how many would like a fab trad, just add your name to the munch list, then copy and paste forwards. See you there.

Shane Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) Blimey its all been going on here eh....thats since I have been changing nappies, feeding the baby, doing the washing, NOT sleeping etc. Actually none of these things, well maybe bit of the last! Been really tied up with my other car project and home stuff these last few weeks and finally have that somewhere near done, for now at least and it's back to being 'Supratime'. You know what, reckon I may do my best to join you all on the 29th, will probably bring the new family too. Welcome to the club, sorry I didnt reply to your PM re having a meet, but it came as the missus was giving birth and then I dropped of the radr Supra wise. TBH, £10 is well worth paying to be a member on here just the for sale section and the wealth of tech info there is on here. Some members (but make sure you suss out who they are as some have not got a clue, yet seem to think they have) have a great knowledge of the Mkiv and most questions you have will be answered on here somewhere if you take a look. The meets are good if you like looking at Supras, and Suprapod is great value and if the weather is good a great day, but, I do know what David means in his earlier post.
