March 4th 2012: Red Lion Meet @ 12:00pm

[gti6steve]

I won't be there tomorrow guys, had a late night. Didn't want to just not turn up, so thought I'd write on here. Hope you all have a good time though.

Come on mate was looking forward to having a nose round your arctic

 

[Habitual]

Not looking so good for me tomorrow. I've been fighting man flu the last couple of days. If I don't feel too bad we'll still shoot over for some lunch, provided I can swallow.

I won't be there tomorrow guys, had a late night. Didn't want to just not turn up, so thought I'd write on here. Hope you all have a good time though.

Cheers for letting us know fellas.

Tom i know this route very well (even know where the pot holes are) its where i go for a sunday afternoon blast to chester zoo and back and its an awesome road! favoured by motorbikers coming at you on your side of the road!

Excellent!

Told them at wolves Upto 15 cars and they're sound about it.put me and the missus down for food too!!!!!

I hope they have space for us! I had a scout by yesterday and it looks limited haha. If everyone turns up at Renault, who says they are, that's 11 Renaults and 2 Civics. >.<

What time do you think you will be heading home?

I'm guessing at about 17:00 depending on whether we do the Eccelshaw run. I know it's only 7:00 at the moment, but if the rain carries on like this a lot of people may not be up for driving. >.< The pub closes at 15:00 so that's the earliest we'll be done.

Guys I like 5 mins away from the Eccleshall run!! Can I join in?!?

Of course man. Like Chris said, come down to the Red Lion. We're meeting there at 12:00, eating at 13:00 and going for a drive at 15:00 (approximately).

He was giving it a fair bit and kept changing gear just before 5k. And his views then was it was quick.
I said give it some. See what happens at 5k.
So on he went. 2nd gear, floored it, got to 5k, and his words were 'oooo I like that!'

I wish my dad shared that enthusiasm. He keeps telling me I am going to kill myself haha. I took him for a drive when I picked it up and his legs were shaking when we got out the car lol.

 

[Habitual]

Also, quite important, so I've sent this as a PM too:

I know most of you probably know this but I want to stress its importance:

To be at the Red Lion exactly on time, we have to leave from Renault today at 11:20 at the latest.

This only gives us 20 minutes at Renault, which is often how late some people turn up.

So please try your best to be on time, because I'd hate to have to leave without everyone.

Cheers peeps!

Fair play Ant...quick off the mark. I'm typing this on my phone while in passenger seat as Mandy has commandeered the steering wheel and is driving me home. Good meet, Thanks everyone for making it a good meet.

 

[sbridgey]

Ant did that learner annoy you then?

 

[Lee]

First meet I've made it along to in a while. It was only a fleeting visit due to the man flu, but great to see such a large turnout, even if it was freezing. Nice pub, and great food though, and nice to catchup and meet some of the newer members.

 

[Don]

Ant did that learner annoy you then?

Si, didn't realise you had turned up till I saw you drive out of the car park!

Yep your route was way better than mine, that road was quite good, and i did manage to get sideways at one point which was interesting at those speeds.

I was surprised jude caught up so quirkly

 

[Habitual]

Fantastic meet, I can't thank everyone enough for such a great turnout and being in and out of Renault so promptly! It all went very smoothly and the commitment was great considering the weather.

Also, a big cheers to the guys who helped with the finer details, such as meeting at Renault (t21ads), getting from Renault to the Red Lion (Rockers) and helping me find the initial venue and putting up with me organising this (Don).

Also, thanks to cswalmsley for the ready salted crisps hahaha (WTH?!)

I'll get my piccies up a little later.

I'm sure glad I cleaned my car - it's proper filthy now - now the Sun is out!!

DAMN YOU MOTORING GODS!

Anyway, it was a pleasure to see everyone today and I'm sorry if I never got a chance to speak with some people as much as others, but I hope to see a fair few of you at the next meet, whether it's one of mine or Dons!
