Newcastle Clio’s

[Cuppy 172]

Anybody driving clios in the Newcaslte area (north east), I dont seem to see may 172s, Cups around.

 

[Ad]

Saw a silver 172 with Ktec lights in Sunderland yesterday whilst I was up at the match.

 

[geordiepaul]

Yeah Im always around!!

Saw a Cup parked behind the building where I work just at the end of the Tyne Bridge the other week. Was it you?

Havent seen that many cups to be honest, though one did pass me at the end of the Redheugh Bridge. Was that you?

[geordiepaul]

Could well have been me in that case, I often travel bast Benfield FIAT , past the Centre for life on my way to the Redheugh bridge. What colour is your chariot?

 

[geordiepaul]

Iceberg.

Saw you (or someone else) coming through the lights just past the Alfa and Fiat garage I was turning to head towards the bridge and you were going towards the quayside. It was Friday last week.

 

[gaj16v]

Theres me too!! You cant fail to see me at the minute, my cars primed on both rear arches waiting for the new quarters to be sprayed

I park on the Gateshead side of the Tyne bridge, behind the old council offices

 

[Cuppy 172]

We should all meet up some time?

Yeah lets.

We could all meet in Halfords car park and do hand brake turns and stuff.....NOT!!!

But it would be good to meet you lot!

 

[Red16]

shields is a bit quiet at the minute, could just be cos summers not quite here tho!!



a meet would be a canny idea

 

[geordiepaul]

How about we all meet up over the Easter weekend. Would love to see some cups and valvers in the flesh and Willys if there is anyone in the area!!

 

[KeithO]

Can I bring me 307 geordiepaul. I will show you 172/cups a thing or to about fuel consumption

 

[geordiepaul]

LOL! Has the CTR gone then?

 

[KeithO]

Still have it at the minute but my insurance runs out on Saturday morning so I will dropping it off at the dealers then. Not sure if my car will be ready by then because of the time it takes to transfer my reg over.

Its a bit of a kick in the teeth when you take the car to the dealer and after he has had a test drive to make sure everything is okay, he starts ranting on about how great the car is and you can feel the power and OOH I did not realise it had 6 gears. I bloody know this, now quickly sell me a car before I change my mind fool....

Still I am looking forward to my Climate Control, Cruise Control and shopping hooks in my new one...

Could have had that on a 172!

I like the fact that he had to drive it to see if it was OK Yeah right....a drive to see how fast it was more like!

Cant believe your letting it go mate 172 -> CTR -> 307 HDI

 

[Carlouk]

Keith whats your plate, is it you I normally see wehn Im heading towards South Gosforth, usually 2 up, private plate beginning with K?

 

[KeithO]

Cant belive it myself, I was not even coursed in to changing either. Watch this space, if I could get the wife to drive and save some pennies in the mean time, what is going to be available in a few years time

Does not look that bad though: (Mines a 5 Door)

[KeithO]

Yes thats me Carlouk, K3 ***.

 

[KeithO]

Sorry to have hijacked the thread. Yes a meet this easter weekend sounds ideal. Shame I wont have a car to come along in.

 

[geordiepaul]

When you handing it back? Could meet before and give it a go against the might 172 . Ill have my new alloys on too!!!

 

[172@18]

IS MACKEMS ALLOWED??

NOW THAT WE ARE NATION WIDE

 

[KeithO]

geordiepaul, I hand it back on Saturday. If you want to meet up in the next few days I could meet you for half an hour after I finish work before I go home to decorating/packing for a move this weekend.

I work @ regent centre but we can have a "Mini meet" there or the silverlink and of course any one else who would like to attend.

I am finishing about 8 tonight unless that is to short notice.

 

[geordiepaul]

Course Mackems are allowed especially now your nationwide!

Get my alloys fitted tomorrow but anytime would be fine, tonight would be OK but it would be dark!

When is best for you? Tomorrow, Thurs or even Good Friday since everyone should be off work

What about everyone else?

 

[KeithO]

Is it dark at 8, I cant remember. Friday, believe it or not I will be working all day and I will be working late everynight this week. I will see what everyone else is doing and then see if I can make it.

Who would be a programmer eh!! Deadlines and release dates are no good for ones social life!!

 

[geordiepaul]

Who do you work for?

 

[KeithO]

Sage

 

[geordiepaul]

Thought so! Do you know Adam McRory??!

 

[KeithO]

Yes very well. Left about 8 months ago to set up his own business I believe, did not keep in touch though.

 

[SoLow]

I would be up for a meet in the Newcastle area. Just gimme a shout. If you need some quiet but fun places to meet where there are no boy racers etc I have a few in mind . Saturday would be best for me as working Friday .

Just mail me mailto:karlcdawson@aol.com">karlcdawson@aol.com with any details?

 

[Cuppy 172]

Hi All,

When we meeting then?

Geordie Paul, are you getting the same alloys as the Cup? (I was thinking of changing mine!)

 

[geordiepaul]

Yeah getting the Cup wheels!

Trying to arrange something with KeithO at the mo will let you know later today when! Keep your eyes open. Got an e-mail address?

 

[KeithO]

geordiepaul,

Tomorrow will be fine. I will be able to spare half an hour for a quick meet, I could make 7.30. Let me know where is best for everyone.

Keith

 

[geordiepaul]

Sound fine! Silverlink would be good for me but Im flexible.

How about you Cuppy, Solow?

 

[KeithO]

Silverlink is fine, I will be finishing at 7:30 so I will be there about 7:31 (these CTRS are fast you know). Seriously I will be there no later than 7:45.

Dont expect me to clean my car because I am selling it
