[Dec 7, 2014] [Dec 7, 2014] Evo triangle West Mids & North West drive (Llangollen) (Telford)

[Don]

Probably the last Big West Midlands meet of 2014. A trip over to the Evo Triangle and maybe a couple of laps weather permitting with the lads and lasses from the North West.

Need convincing?

Just an after thought.....is this weather dependant??/

No mate, I just mean if the weather is poor...we probably might only do a single lap..I'm open to suggestions to be fair.

 

[boomerbang2006]

Was just i`ll be there even if its lashing down with rain......obviously driving slower....:stig:

The one for the monthly meet...I think we won't have a 'monthly' this month as it will be 2 days after the run. I didn't want to confuse everyone with the fact that there were 2 event threads running at the same time. That's all.

Car permitting I'll be there - four days into Clio 182 ownership

Good on ya.

 

[Flat Eric]

I'll be in aberystwyth Sunday

 

[LeeRS]

hoping to be there. Wanted to get my cooksports on for this

 

[LY_Kimmy_182]

Me and wayne shall be there, half 9 on Sunday morning?

 

[Don]

Me and wayne shall be there, half 9 on Sunday morning?

Awesome. Half 9. Rsvp on the event so I have idea on numbers.

Took 182 for a blast last night. She did well...but battery seems cooked. Don't mind paying for new battery rather than replacement alternator and labour to fit it...

Will try again tonight when I get home and swap batteries over.

Battery would be a lot cheaper, mine had the original battery on 8 years before it was replaced, then the alternator went :/

I know. It is an inconvenience, but so long as alternator is doing its job, then happy days!

I seem to have a slow build up of Halfords 096 ones in the garage

063 is best for the 1*2s in my experience

 

[LeeRS]

gotta love a trade card.

Those of you going through the Black Country just a warning http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-30285191

 

[wayne9989]

Street Racing has gotten out of hand in a select few places by us (A456) mainly...I'm not surprised they're clamping down on it, I'm far too growth up for that nonsense now!

 

[..Jack..]

Just about to give the car a wash before tomorrow

 

[Don]

Doing the outside as she's had a year of shite build up...the interior is fine (if a little dated - coming out of the 308) so have to get used to a larger wheel...no 6th gear and a much, much louder exhaust note. Fun, fun, fun

 

[Don]

The 182 is going back in the garage. Stupid French piece of s**t seems to have alternator issues. Gutted is understatement of the year. Ready to go nuclear on it. Luckily I can't find the petrol canister and a box of matches!!!!!

 

[LeeRS]

lol. I'm still undecided on wether I'm coming tomorrow. Could do with a good drive to be honest but the Mrs has got plans aswell. Decisions decisions.

 

[LeeRS]

postcode to where you are meeting??

 

[..Jack..]

Bugger, forgot it's my girlfriends birthday tomorrow.

 

[Don]

postcode to where you are meeting??

 

[LeeRS]

LOL

 

[LeeRS]

that's what I said Don.
I do need the postcode though

and LOL Jack, how can you forget?

 

[Don]

Don't even ask, was on my phones calendar whilst finishing off at work and realised. Had to quickly drive into town to get her something.

 

[LeeRS]

how far is the triangle from Telford then? Just trying to get an idea on times

 

[LeeRS]

ok I sorted a map.
it will be quicker for me to head straight there I think otherwise ive got to come all through Wolverhampton to get to Telford.
our paths should meet when you get onto the A5 at Shrewsbury presuming that's the route you are taking?

UPDATE.
I'm definitely coming now. Going to fill up with fuel. 1 problem. My car is dirty, needs a wash, NOW!

 

[LeeRS]

Anybody?

 

[Don]

Looking to do A5 up to Llyn Bran and meeting the NW lads up there on the layby.

 

[LeeRS]

ok. I will meet you at the Telford services for 9.30.

car is good to go.

My 182 is similar to that...but with all lights lit up like an Xmas tree...Going in the Diseasel!

 

[LeeRS]

lol. I don't want to tick over to 51k tomorrow
wish I had my cooksports fitted aswell. They are sitting next to me begging to be used.
