Bristol Clique - Chew Valley Drive and Breakfast

[McGherkin]

I'm easy time wise.

Cheddar out the window now? I'll admit the trip to the land of the leeks does sound tempting.

 

[banther]

Cheddar is absolutely do-able.

Just I know its a favourite haunt of Tom's and I've been recently so a tad boring! Plus you spend most of the drive on the motorway which, when you drive a little toy car, is not the most pleasing of prospects.

 

[Wrighty.]

I may not be able to make this now guys, it looking like I might have a rugby friendly I will keep you posted.

 

[banther]

TBH the best place to meet before setting off might be my house!!

I live about 1 minute off J16 M5 and have plenty of space for cars. Coffee & bacon rolls could also be provided. There is also a small Tesco around the corner (literally) to stock up on drinks etc. should you require them and a large Tesco petrol station with 98 fuel about 0.5 miles up the road.
Wrighty. no problem mate. Who do you play for? I used to play for Clifton a few years back.

 

[Matt W]

I'm in Swansea this weekend unfortunately

Quite well thanks, although turns out their company website is misleading and the whole company consists of 5 people. Not sure if it's worth the gamble of leaving a secure low paid job for it though :S

Just Yatton I haven't been playing long I played at school a fair bit and then just been a lazy b*****d for the best part of 7 years haha, I have a few mates who used to play for Clifton when they were younger, what position did you play?

If you met me you'd know! Loosehead prop for 15 years. 0 points scored. Proper!

OT - TIMES PEOPLE. TIMES!!!!!!

 

[McGherkin]

9:30?

I'd still go at 8:30 but it does mean leaving my place at half 6 lol.

 

[Lawro]

Lol.

It'll probably just be you and me so tell me you caaaaaant!!

Unfortunately @Lawro. is too busy fingering some rotten crotched E'd up Geordie over in 'Bifa to grace us with his presence.

Balls deep!

^^^ Good call you little ripper.

Although not much fun for McGherkin ?

We could do Cheddar gorge then head over there? That way we get in a little drive and dont stray too far?

Or - Wales?! Then airshow?

 

[_Tom]

Or drive and then end up there for the afternoon. Maybe we could lay on your bonnet and watch the planes go by?

Yeah I dont like the bulge in the middle of the bonnet anyway.

 

[McGherkin]

Airshow? I'm in.

 

[jim cook]

I would of Deffo done this but the old girl is broken again , Great

 

[banther]

Bring the Caterham?

 

[jim cook]

Thats a plan but i will be stopping for fuel every 20 mins Lol

 

[banther]

Are they that bad?

I'll come up with a revised plan incorporating airshow now.

If we set off at 10.30/11 we could still do a route before heading down to WSM?

 

[Jamie86]

Can't make this weekend sorry

 

[McGherkin]

Banther's busy 'interviewing' now so it's not gonna happen I don't think.

Hi,

Live in Bristol and will be good to meet up with a few of you sometime. I pick up my 182 Trophy on Sunday, can't wait really. I can't promise that I will make most meets due to family commitments however will do my best. Early morning runs would be best!

Don't know if any of you go to the Avenue club bristol meet every first sunday of the month ? I go to most so will be looking to have mine on display. Sure its fairly local for everyone and always welcome to have a look around a few classics!

Anyways,

Will keep in touch with your plans!

Welcome to the forum Alan! Congratulations on your up and coming Trophy ownership!

Be good to meet you at a future meet, I attend the Avenue Club when I am available. Normally a good morning out providing the weather is good. Quick shot of mine from the last meet there:

Thanks, appreciate the comment. Yes, I have Retrimmed Recaro Speed SPG's in mine.

Well enjoy the collection tomorrow and looking forward to seeing it soon.

I won't be at AMC meet this month as I am over in Wales at the Brecon Beacons but I will hopefully make it down in August.

Did you go the Haynes meet Lawro? Guy at work went in a ST and said it was great. He went to cheddar after too apparently that was rammed.

Yeah mate, it was brilliant! Real high standard of cars, no s**t music or wheel spins and had a nice nosey round the museum! Hopefully they will do another one soon.
