[M4D M4X]

I'll have to pencil this in my diary and see how i get on with the car but if the car ain't done in time i've got my bike so can also tag along with that like last time.

Newport it is then lol

Newport sounds good. I'll be there.

That's the hammer chaps! You won't regret your choice on the day!

Thanks for organizing! I will be there!

No need to thank me at all bud, set it up due to some good feed back from others in a separate thread so the thanks should go to them.
And thanks to MattW for sending out a huge group message to give everyone a heads up.

Feel free bud, you can blast off ahead of us and divert any police attention up in front .

You won't regret doing it in a diesel bud, your fuel bill will be cheaper than most!

Yeah, maybe 6:30am was a little bit early. Where were you working around this way mate? Would I have seen you without knowing?! Yeah, the Type-R ain't so bad. It's due to go in for an MOT and a few upgrades / tweaks in the next few weeks. As for being loaded... I wish! I just work hard and have old age on my side.

Well, I've got this penciled into the diary so roll on April.

I work for a company called 'RPS' you might of seen a few white vans knocking about yesterday you did go straight passed mine just down from Mcdonalds, I had to check the whole estate you live for water leaks was a right mission too much walking
I do like a type r they go well with a few mods, a few friends have had them and really rated them
I got my mot on the clio next month -_- not the best time of year for it, got the tax in march then

 

[chapperzuk]

This sounds awesome. I've done the Black Mountain Pass before and it's one hell of a road!

I will let you know if I'm able to make it in the next few weeks.

I wondered who the dodgy vans belonged to, and who the dodgy geezers were that were walking around the estate... Good luck with the MOT mate. I need to get mine MOT'd and taxed as soon as the build is done as it expired somewhere around end of August last year!

Aha yeah I often get stopped by people asking me what im doing
Im pretty confident on the mot front, only thing i think I of that will fail me is the seatbelt is retracting slowly, seems like I got something stuck on the b pillar plate that the seatbelt goes through ( not sure what its called) gonna try some material polish this weekend see if that speeds it up

 

[-Chris]

Sounds a good day. I'll be attending.

[MJRacing]

I am hoping to come along too. Booked the day off work and put some annual leave in with the mrs. As long as she hasnt gone into labour by then me and the little man will be there.

 

[msremmert]

Feel the need the mention to you guys that the ZSOC boys will be on the Black Mountain that day as well. Should be a very social day out.

 

[Bug]

Its gonna be absolutely rammed with cars up there seems a few owners clubs have organised drives that weekend

went to view a house last night might be moving start of February
Its a very nice house with space for 3 cars on the drive
Be trying to convince the mrs that I need a Citroën ax

Can't blame ya!
I'd quite happily lose a bedroom for an extra space in the garage and a drive. Double garages ftw.

Thats all I've lost is a extra room atm we have a 3 bed house with only one room being used and the other room just for storage aha

Can we try and keep the thread about the meet chaps? Ta muchly

Feel the need the mention to you guys that the ZSOC boys will be on the Black Mountain that day as well. Should be a very social day out.

That shouldn't be an issue to be fair, I doubt they'll be running the same route, to avoid clashing with their meet we could always run the route in reverse.

 

[gez 172]

It'll be interesting to see if more than 50% of the list turns up on the day

It certainly will. I've not set it up with huge expectations in mind, just done for the fact that I enjoy driving on decent roads and know a few other members that do as well.

 

[Cooperate]

I will come along to this, will be my first meet so won't know anyone yet.. sounds like it will be good fun though and some stunning roads to drive on!

 

[Dano']

Myself and Ash' will be tagging along in my RB if I can get the time off work!

fingers crossed!

The more the merrier chaps.
When you know for certain feel free to add your names to the list of likely suspects.

 

[Lawro]

[Filters]

Right then chaps,
This is this list of likely suspects so far.... If your interested in coming along, add yourself on to it and pop it up for the next person to do the same.

Have you thought about mentioning this meet in the South Wales section on the PistonHeads forum? Usually a good group of guys on there with some interesting cars

Trying to keep it for CS members and forum users only Dan, defeats the object of a CS meet if we go inviting other clubs, forums etc otherwise.
I've no doubt it'll get mentioned elsewhere anyway....

Quick update all....

Sadly due to a few mobility issues I'm facing for the next few months and pending hospital appointments, etc etc.
It's looking like I won't be able to take part in the meet.

There is no physical way my body would handle it at the moment, I was hoping to have the appointments well out of the way by now but as we all know, GP's and the NHS cannot do anything correctly nowadays so thanks to push backs, 13 months down the line it's got to the point where I am unable to function daily. 200 miles with me leading a pack is just going to cause an accident in my current condition.

I'm genuinely gutted as I was looking forward to the first good days driving since my motorcycle crash in January 2013 along with meeting some new faces and catching up with others.

If there's any members on here willing to step up and take the lead for the day then please drop me a PM
I've asked Sharky and Matt W but just in case they are unable to it would be great if someone could take over.

Cheers lads and sorry to dampen the mood.
