Dagger Posted June 28, 2008 Report Posted June 28, 2008 I have thought about sorting out a meet around here - how many other people are up for maybe once a month meeting and going for a drive? If you are - its worth checking out www.eastcoastpirates.co.uk as they are based in Gt Yarmouth and they are more american based. anyway - anyone around here want to meet? maybe make it a general retro cars?
fairlane500 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 Hi Dagger. Might be worth trying this again.There have been a couple of attempts in the past but not much interest Worth looking at www.buryretroford.co.uk as well.Monthly meet there is great and always gets a good turn out and has been featured in Retro and Classic Ford.Only draw back for me is it being on a weekday evening,can't always make it home from work in time Great club to be involved with though.Go to loads of events and do a lot for charity Anyway I would be up for a meet up maybe on a weekend.Anyone else? Sean.
Superblue76 Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 Depends on the whens and where's but sounds good to me.
caprinerd Posted June 29, 2008 Report Posted June 29, 2008 would be interested. tried to see if people were interested in a monthly meet around here, but didnt get much responce, so started to attend the bury meet every now and then
Admin Vista Posted June 29, 2008 Admin Report Posted June 29, 2008 Always worth pursueing the meet thing, it takes a while to get off the ground but once established it'll keep going. The two things that kicked it off in the South West in Jan 2007 were: a) A mention and promise of a feature in CF magazine Lots of time spent drumming the keyboard trolling the member list by location and then sending a PM to every member that you think might be in your catchment area. Time consuming but worth it. Best of luck getting it off the ground
MaximusPrime Posted July 2, 2008 Report Posted July 2, 2008 yes im up for this... so is shun1.6ghia weather he likes it or not... would be awesome to make it a reto car thing, specially if not enough OSF owners round here...
Finn Posted July 3, 2008 Report Posted July 3, 2008 I am in the northern bit of Cambs, so not too far away, would be up for a meet in Norfolk area, Finn.
caprinerd Posted July 5, 2008 Report Posted July 5, 2008 id be up for a meet if you sort out a time and place but as said before weekdays arent to clever for me either but if needs must i`ll try and sort something out
shaun1.6ghia Posted July 6, 2008 Report Posted July 6, 2008 Weekends are best for me as i work dodgy hours. Time an date an I'll be there
davreeve Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 weekends better for me as i find it difficult to escape from work at a sensible time on weekdays
zephyr6boy Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 yep ! 2.8 Capri + mk1 Granada & Mk1 Capri in Norwich
caprinerd Posted July 9, 2008 Report Posted July 9, 2008 1. dagger 2. fairlane500 3.superblue76 4. caprinerd 5. maximusprime 6. finn 7. shaun1.6ghia 8. davereeve 9. zephyr6boy there`s the start listim sure there`s a couple of others round here that might be up for it as well some belong to this forum and some dont but could still be up for it
fairlane500 Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 That must be enough for a start then Date and place then folks?
Finn Posted July 10, 2008 Report Posted July 10, 2008 My Capri A666 is in Complete Car Care in P'boro untill late next week to get the Nos sorted so not available this weekend, Finn.
caprinerd Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 That must be enough for a start then Date and place then folks? second
shaun1.6ghia Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 That must be enough for a start then Date and place then folks? well, what about meeting somewhere im the middle of us all. like swaffham or Watton? That would be quite fair. and i've seen a yellow mk1 escort rally driving around there. what do people think?
fairlane500 Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 I think Shaun's right.Make it as central as poss.so depends where folks are coming from. Can always organise run's out from there. Looking at a map the A11 corridor between Thetford and Norwich sort of sits in the middle?
caprinerd Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 theres a pub/hotel on the A11 called the stag Attleborough or there`s also one at East Harling, The Flying Fish Watton dont know what its like there now but it use to be quiet, Dave reeves lives nearly on the door step, could always find somewhere near snetty if thats any better as its a major landmark
caprinerd Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 i've seen a yellow mk1 escort rally driving around there. what do people think? if it had a number 4 on it then he`s a member on here look at the retroshow pics, dont know his user name
Finn Posted July 11, 2008 Report Posted July 11, 2008 Include me in after this weekend for a meet, my Capri not available untill wed/thurs next week, Finn.
zephyr6boy Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 angel larling ? grass carpark at rear . my bro in law is chef. retro rides (?)meet there 1st tues of month?
caprinerd Posted July 12, 2008 Report Posted July 12, 2008 angel larling thats the place i was thinking of but always thought it was eastharling, well you live an learn dont ya
caprinerd Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 if everyone puts the area they live then it could be worked out from there 1. dagger 2. fairlane500 3.superblue76 4. caprinerd -------------Attleborough,norfolk 5. maximusprime 6. finn 7. shaun1.6ghia 8. davereeve 9. zephyr6boy
Finn Posted July 13, 2008 Report Posted July 13, 2008 If you put PE15 0LS into multimap you will get me, the village is Manea, top end of Cambs, not bothered about driving a few miles for a meet, a lot of the fun is in the getting there! Finn.
