Trophy Owner - Balderton / Newark

[Chip-mk1]

Me and the mrs keep seeing a trophy driving about near our place but we always seem to be in the focus or corsa at the time not one of the clios.

Nice to see a trophy out and about getting used and it always looks tidy

 

[JMR]

It will be a guy who's not on here, or anywhere else I dont think, 35 yr old ish driver?

I've seen him many times on London Road - I think he lives down toward the A1 fish bar and the vets (vet side of the road)
He always gives me a wave out the drivers window or a flash of the lights, but I have never pinned him down on a forum.
He's even given the mrs the thumbs up and pointed at the car when theyve been passing in town.

Look out for me in a RB182

 

[lesley]

Always seeing him at the a1 fish bar junction. Saw him again this evening.

Never seen your rb about...

 

[JMR]

Never seen your rb about...

I see you have an RB182?

Not an 04 plate is it - I think Ive put a couple of spotteds up about this one in Newark

 

[lesley]

I do indeed. VU04 mine starts

 

[Toby]

Yeah, I know where that car lives.

​not on here though definitely.

 

[lesley]

Saw a silver 172 today too. Near the fish bar again at the long traffic lights

About 3ish this afternoon

 

[Toby]

Not seen a silver one around.

 

[Chip-mk1]

I saw a 182 the other day by the A46 roundabout, sign written for an estate agents.

Seems to be quite a few sports around the area

 

[Toby]

Chip, what you driving daily round Newark?

 

[Northy 8]

I live in newark
The trophy is a guy called rob and may be for sale
​Still not sure if I should buy it

 

[Chip-mk1]

Chip, what you driving daily round Newark?

Im not there that often as mainly working in london, but when I am I'm in either a focus diesel or an RB182 normally.

 

[Toby]

Ah, there's an RB182 in Coddington too.

​I'll keep my eye out.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Sounds like we should have some sort of Newark meet soon?

Lincoln is the closest meets Ive seen on here, but sounds like a few of us in the area?

 

[Toby]

I'd be up for that if my car wasn't a bag of s**t!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Who cares?
meets are more about having a chat over a pint/meal than concours judging each others cars anyway IMHO.

 

[Toby]

Deal.

Theres some dead good pubs in Newark tbh.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Just to be a bit awkward, Im only around weekends and Les normally isnt home from work till 9pm friday, 7pm saturday, and 6pm sunday.

So 6pm on a sunday would be best for us, but obviously if that doesnt suit others it might be that juts one of us can go instead.

 

[Northy 8]

Let me know when there is a meets lads

 

[Chip-mk1]

Can you guys recomend a good pub for food with a decent car park?

We're new to the area and not really been anywhere yet.

 

[Toby]

Where abouts did you end up buying chip?

If you want PM me?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Will drop you a PM mate.

 

[MicKPM]

As long as its not the Lord Ted or Roman Way I'd be up for this.

 

[Toby]

The 'classic' Newark meet pubs!

 

[MicKPM]

Just need to add "The Barge" and I'm all over it like a fat kid on cake

 

[Toby]

Ooooft.

What a pub!

 

[Chip-mk1]

I don't care where. Tawny owl is right by us. But no drama going wherever everyone else wants.

 

[Northy 8]

Yes I was thinking the tawning owl

 

[MicKPM]

That's Balderton not Newark... I'm pretty sure I'll get lynched if I cross that border lol

 

[Chip-mk1]

Only you will get lynched? Cool, that sounds like a plan with no drawbacks then.

Must confess I dont even know where newark stops and balderton starts, very much a newbie to the area.

Just because i'm ginger, no need to get all hatey and racist! You can tell Balderton as they all drive around in Lexus's, Audi's and BMW's... Newark keeps it "Jenny from the block" with the Transits and Corsa's and no-one dicks with them in Asda carpark.

Just make sure you dont try and steal my bone china if you visit. I will tell the butler to keep an eye on you.

 

[Toby]

Balderton Classy?!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Balderton Classy?!

Not been my take on it, like I said to you in PM my road looks like a council estate to me, lol.

But this is mick we are talking about, if a girls only had a thong on for 3 days he thinks she is posh.

 

[MicKPM]

If they wearthem at all... REET classy bird!

 

[Melissa]

Saw this last Weds night on the Newark roundabout for Mansfield/Ollerton

 

[Northy 8]

Here is the trophy that lives in balderton mate

 

[Toby]

That's the one! Went past it not two days ago.

 

[Northy 8]

I still don't no weather to buy it off him
