South Wales General Chat

[SharkyUK]

It's gone very, very quiet mate... nobody seems interested these days.

 

[SimpleJoee]

Anyone still active in South Wales?

Nope.

 

[roland rat]

Nope.

Seems that way

 

[Matt W]

Always goes quiet over winter!

 

[Chowny]

Whats going on guys any news

I don't think I've actually posted on this thread before.. so don't think anyone here will know me, I've had an artic blue 182 in the past but had to sell up due to insufficient funds whilst in university, then ended up buying a LY 182 for pennies of what you see them sold for - yes I got what I payed for its a complete shed :') but was still in uni at the time so not fussed about having it sit on the drive whilst I built up the funds (I think I've put 1k miles on it in 2 years...). Now that I've graduated and gotten into a job I've started splashing some cash on it and will hopefully have it running right come the summer time! So any meets etc I will be trying my best to attend

Sadly not much to report personally... still waiting for my Trophy to come home. It's nearly been 2.5 years now

Silly question - probably find the answer in a thread somewhere but i'll ask here anyway - what is happening to your trophy that's taken so long?

 

[Matt W]

I wouldn't ask...

 

[Jonesaaaay93]

I wouldn't ask...

Sore subject? :')

 

[SharkyUK]

LOL! I'm waiting for it all to be put together mate. All the bits are done and ready to go (pretty much) but there's just one delay after another after another... and I'm getting a bit fed up now. Thankfully the plans changed a few days ago so hopefully I'll get to see and use it this year; it's going to someone else to finish putting everything back together. It should come back with a couple more horses and torques.

Anyone at Silverstone this weekend?
I'm off up tomorrow for F3 and the v8 3.5 can't wait

Bit hard to forget the horrors you've had with your car old boy, it's almost on par with @SharkyUK and his trophy :tired:

Hope you manage to get it sorted soon fella :up:

 

[RichValver]

Tell me about it! Rayo (Phil) at Grange service station has been helping recently and has been a great help. Car is now on the road! Although still plenty of work still to get done (we won't even mention the bump shes picked up after 3 days of back on the road:rage.
Hoping to be all sorted by summer (fingers crossed) and hopefully attending some shows etc if I can!

 

[Drc12369]

nobody in south wales then? shame..

 

[Chowny]

I’m from South Wales, have a mk1 clio tho. Where in Wales you from?

 

[Drc12369]

I live in Bath but my parents live in Newport where I'm from and the mother in law lives in Pontypridd so I'm regularly around those areas. Driving up to Pontsticill Reservoir on Saturday morning for the drive and maybe a few pics.

 

[Jonesaaaay93]

There a few of us hanging around This thread just doesn't seem to get much attention:down:
Details of your trip? looking for more to take photos with?

 

[Drc12369]

Narr I've only had the car a few days I'm keeping it to myself for a while lol but after Christmas I'd well be up for a south Wales meet if we can organise enough people

 

[Chowny]

Where in pontypridd? That’s where I’m from, maesycoed. Jonesay, where are you from?

 

[Drc12369]

Penarth (other side of Cardiff, Barry way), but I am often up Treforest way as a few mates in uni there still

 

[Drc12369]

Sounds like if we round up a few more we could arrange a meet sometime soon?

 

[Chowny]

Ai I’m up for that if I’m free

 

[Drc12369]

ok then, come the new year well arrange a south wales meet. Pontsticill reservoir would be good, great long windy A roads on the way, then twisty fast back roads around the reservoir itself, and a place to line up the cars for a group photo

 

[Mid. engine]

Hi I'll be up for a meet, I'll bring my 220 trophy.
If someone could drop me a line with a day and date.
Thanks Martin

If we do have a meet I'd love to see your Megane there, I almost bought one myself before I got my Clio and I'd love to see one up close. Looking at January now, nothing fancy just a get together for the area .
