[Jan 31, 2015] one night stand meet blackpool 31st of jan (blackpool)

[jesus]

Jamie give me a message if you are heading up I don't mind meeting you somewhere easier and showing you the way :smile:

Will give you a shout mate! I hope Google Maps nav takes me the right way if I come along.

If this cruise gets shut down by the Police (which I suspect is likely) and it's a little early for you to be trekking back, take a left out of Tesco and carry straight on until you see Asda. We'll re-group on there for a bit! :smile:

 

[chrishesketh]

in coming down with 3 clios 100% and meeting 2 more there so where shall we meet first?

We'll stick with the Odeon (even though you will drive pretty much past the cruise location en route to us) as there is the Swift Hound pub which does belting food and a McDonalds on that car park so it caters for all pocket depths. I'm thinking McDonalds grub will be better now due to so many attending and a fair few 'maybes.'

We'll convoy to the cruise together, and then as said if it does get shut down by the boys in blue and you feel it's a little early for home then us Clio lot can re-group on Asda down the road and decide from there what to do (drive/photos etc).

 

[chrishesketh]

ok will try get to the odeon for 7 then and will spread the word [emoji106]

 

[Stonzy]

@Paul.M @Ade182 @jakehamer1994 @InfernoPaul We have a choice for food at Odeon car park, theres the pub, Frankie and Bennies and Maccys. Its doesn't really get busy on the car park so we should be ok, but it is Saturday so you never know.
And the car park is huge so we shouldn't struggle for picture space.

Sounds like a plan

 

[Ade182]

Location of the cruise has changed to Yeadon Way car park now

 

[jakehamer1994]

Yeah was just gonna say it's changed to yeadon way now due to over 1,300 people saying they turning up . I should have a few clios coming with me to non sports though. We still all meeting at half 6 then ?

 

[Ade182]

I'm good for half 6. My mates not been in my Clio since I got it boosted so gonna take him out for half hour then meet you's.

 

[jesus]

I'll be fashionably late as per usual (if I'm coming).

 

[jakehamer1994]

Okay great I'll see you lot then

 

[Ade182]

@jakehamer1994 the more I read about this cruise the more I think the police aren't aware. I reckon it'll be shut down quickly! Now the location has changed, where should us Clio lot meet afterwards if it's too early for home? Tesco meant it was easy for us to go to asda but Yeadon Way is a curve ball.

We could just go back to the Odeon and decide from there if it goes down the shitter

My mums bf is CID and he's pretty sure they dont know anything about it lol
and bad news my car is in the garage might have to be a passenger with @InfernoPaul sadface

 

[Paul.M]

I have a feeling it will be over pretty quickly too, there is always big bnq down at whitehills as well that has a large open car park with pretty good lighting if I remember correctly, I'll have a think about photo locations local to yeadon way, I'll have cameras and go pro stuff with me, hopefully my brother will be with me too so we can aim for rolling shots, he knows his way round a camera better than me.

 

[Paul.M]

In regards to times, I'll aim for half 6 too but I've got to go and (hopefully) pick another car up so may be just after

 

[turke]

i should be able to make it, odeon 6:30 yeah?

 

[Paul.M]

i should be able to make it, odeon 6:30 yeah?

It seems that way to me are you local? be good to put names to faces of all the new local owners

 

[turke]

It seems that way to me :smile: are you local? be good to put names to faces of all the new local owners :smile:

yeah, south shore, although I don't get around blackpool much now

 

[jakehamer1994]

@Ade182 not sure mate I have spoke to one of the guys sorting it and he says that they are fully aware and that they will be there watching. Looking at the page though its got a fair few people coming and when that happens there is gonna be trouble, doubt it will be many police there though later on as it is a Saturday night and town is busy

 

[turke]

damn, one of my headlights just blew, still gonna come but a bit of a bummer

 

[jakehamer1994]

See you there guys gonna be bit late as picking mate up and fueling up

 

[Ade182]

We're in McDonalds if you see our cars and not us!

 

[jakehamer1994]

Good to meet you all was good turn out

 

[jesus]

Impressive CS turnout and a massive meet in the car park... was nice to meet a few new faces too

 

[Ade182]

Personally I preferred our low key Clio meets more than the cruise itself! Good to meet you all! You get home ok Jamie?

 

[jesus]

Yep, quite quickly too.

On the way back a blue Skoda Octavia was trying to push me along on a dual carriageway and I wasn't rising to it... then you would not believe how quickly I took the Trophy around the roundabout to the motorway... when I got to 70 it was full of traffic police smiling as it passed me! :sweat:🙈:car:olicecar:

Really liked your silver 182 Ade, silver on silver is one of my favourites now (especially when it's immaculate looking!).

 

[Ade182]

Haha glad you got home safely! Thanks for the kind comments about the car; a few niggles to sort on the wheels though!

The Trophy looked great, even if a little dirty!

 

[jesus]

Trophy is horrible. Properly neglected when it comes to cleaning. Scrubs up well though when I put the effort in!

Titanium looked perfect mate. Just the right height too.

 

[Paul.M]

Great to see you all, and meet some new faces

@jesus did you manage to find fish and chips anywhere?

 

[Paul.M]

Nope lol, the town centre was absolutely dead... all the clubs were either empty or closed too as we drove past!

Cheers for the photos, mine is so dirty it almost looks like an Inferno haha.

 

[jakehamer1994]

@jesus what time did you go into town? I went around half 11 and it was was packed in every club for most of the night

 

[jesus]
