[May 24, 2015] Epic Hawes/Buttertubs Drive - Yorkshire Lot (North Yorkshire)

[Matthew]

Weather looks fine!! Who's coming still?

@leeds_182 @Rossi1989 @Deany

 

[Matthew]

Final call before it scrap this.

 

[Rossi1989]

I'm still up for it but it's not looking good lol

 

[Matthew]

Yeah not great with just two cars!! Ha.

Think we are best re arranging buddy.

 

[Rossi1989]

Yeah that's totally fine defo worth trying a later date though

 

[Matthew]

Sound. Thanks for putting your name down anyway buddy. Shame there wasn't much interest for others.

@leeds_182 @Rossi1989 @Deany

It's not fine in North Yorkshire mate! It's pissing it down until dinner.

 

[Matthew]

It's ok here! Ha

I think weather and General lack of interest killed this.

 

[Mr Plums]

I still havnt got the car back or else I would have come today

The joys of modifying...

Andy said it should be ready early this week

 

[leeds_182]

Andy said it should be ready early this week :smile:

Is this the box issue?

 

[Matthew]

Well I ended up going in the end, on my own. Left the Mrs at home and just drove. Sunny too at some points. I'll get a few pictures up laters.

Nice one! I'm off out in a bit now the Suns come out.

 

[Matthew]

Smashed the STs back doors in for 120 miles ha.

 

[Mr Plums]

Yes mate, new box, driveshaft, both handbrake cables and a few other bits and bobs, hes a busy man and he was waiting on a part.

 

[leeds_182]

120 miles in my Rallye and I'd have felt like my back doors had been smashed in!

 

[Matthew]

Haha whatever your into mate. Not judging...

 

[Deany]

my b*****d internets been down, apologiezz. rearrange for later in summer?

 

[leeds_182]

I think Matthew has given up on the Yorkshire contingent..

 

[Matthew]

Ha! It's getting that way. A few years ago we had about 10 cars at this drive and this time I could barely get interest from 3.

 

[Rossi1989]

I must say I'm surprised Yorkshire is the biggest county in the country lol might have to move back to the north east

 

[Matthew]

I think a lot of the previously active members a getting older and are generally less interested in meets/drives due to family commitments etc.

Other regions (from my observations) have younger members who have nothing else to do..

You can count me in to some other meets matey, was on holiday unfortunately this time mate!

 

[leeds_182]

It is an ageing area. I don't think I've seen a new face at a meet since 2009!

 

[Mr Plums]

I should be picking my car up today so I could be free for the next few Sundays.

 

[Brookie.]

In fairness, you started the thread and most people said they had plans that date - which is pretty likely on a bank holiday weekend. Would have been pretty easy to swap the date.

Not that it matters now anyway.

 

[Matthew]

Yeah that's a fair point tbh.

 

[leeds_182]

Yeah, it's your fault Matthew.

 

[Gums88]

bugger missed this one i'm sure it was half sunny aswell

 

[Brookie.]

Yeah, it's your fault Matthew.

😂 Wasn't meaning that, I appreciate the effort in trying to sort something.

I more meant you can't expect a decent turnout when most people have posted in here saying they had plans for that weekend.

One day it'll be like that time we ended up with 30-40 cars at TOPO. Those were the days!
