View Full Version : Any Cheshire / S. Mancs scoobs for a meet on the 25th?
goober 14 June 2003, 08:56 A few of us are planning to get together for a run up into the Peak District on the above date. I will be coming from Sandbach, so could meet up at Jct 17 if anyone is interested. Meeting the others in Leek.
I guess we will be stopping off at the Cat & Fiddle at about 9.00 - 9.30ish.
Post up if any interest.

Put me down, from south manchester, steelx knows where.
chris.
I cant make the 25th :(
I'm away for a few days that week.
goober 16 June 2003, 22:47 Do you want to meet up at the C & F or at Jct 17? I suppose it depends on which way you are coming from.

John WRX 17 June 2003, 00:20 sounds good to me, keep me informed
scoobygav555 17 June 2003, 08:44 i'll be up for that, chris i'll meet you at the hare and hounds if you like??
gav..
are you back in country now gav? how did it go if you are?
the hare and hounds sounds good to me, see you there,
chris.
SteelX 17 June 2003, 17:09 What's the route? J17 is fine for me (just down the road), but since I live in Middlewich you may (or may not) be coming my way anyway?
We could meet up with CW42 et al half way (Macc again?) and all go over the top together.
Anyway, I just need place/time.....
Cheers,
Steel
ps: got tyre fixed.
Did you manage to return the wheel you borrowed steelx?
was the tyre fixable, or new one?
chris
SteelX 17 June 2003, 17:37 Chris: Got tyre fixed (£10). Also lost my wheel cap (dunno how I managed that, maybe still on the carpark floor) so had to buy another one from Subaru (£16 - robbing b*******). Got a decent wheel brace while I was out (£14) and also some better sunglasses (£35).
So, £75 I think. But since I went to the Scooby garage, I checked out an STi with PPP. Bloody August/September delivery.....and 27K!
So all in all, an expensive puncture ;-)
oh and better half has already poo pooed the Sti for now, so maybe a PPP for the silver one maybe an option.....dunno. Looking at options for that now.
Anyway, great day out! :D Saw and learnt loads and even the kids enjoyed it. Little wrong turn on the way back and everyone followed was funny - LOL
Just left a message for Carl (top bloke who lent me the wheel) and will be arranging to take it back this week. He lives in Rhyl (nice excuse for a blast), but we talked about meeting somewhere, so Demon Tweeks at Wrexham may be an option if anyone fancies the same (nice roads to DT :D ).
Whoops!: Thread Hijack ALERT! - sorry ;)
Steel
ps: Thanks again Carl if you read this. TOP FELLA!!!!
nice one steelx, see you soon, hopefully not ppp'd, your fast enough as it is!
chris
carl555DBM 18 June 2003, 20:51 Steel – this punctures only gonna get more expensive for you if we meet at Demons!!!:D .....I’m sure we wont be able to keep out of the shop!!:)
Thanks for the kind words. Like I said, I was in a similar situation to yourself with my previous Scooby a few years ago and had to drive half way across the country on the god awful space saver images/smilies/mad.gif – never again – hence the full size spare in the boot now.
Glad to be of help – see you soon mate.;)
Carl
TURBO TOE 18 June 2003, 21:15 wb gav---how did the golf go? --- cw ill prob come out on 25th---im near u so will prob go with u to c+f. We all had an excellent time at nbo--roll on the next one.
hey turbo toe, no problem, see you soon, looks like we may have to plan a proper route this time. this is nearly up to making a list of attendees!
chris.
Andy_Razz 18 June 2003, 22:20 Yeah im game

Andy
Andy S. 18 June 2003, 23:18 Where are you meeting in Macc hope to join you there
SteelX 19 June 2003, 07:58 Hi Andy,
Last time we met in the McDonalds carpark on the silk road. Local nova boys were gobsmacked :D
Steel
Andy S. 19 June 2003, 20:27 What time at Macc Macdonalds, I will either be there or meet up with CW42 at Hare and Hounds earlier
[Edited by Andy S. - 19/06/2003 20:27:56]
andy, you would be better off staying in whaley and meeting us there, say at the speed bump by the school.
we will probably go past there on the way to macc, I think we did that route last time, over macc old road.
I will have to get a list together now, give me a minute!
chris.
Andy S. 19 June 2003, 21:57 I will wait for you at the bump. I'm sure I won't be to hard to find.
Rasher 19 June 2003, 22:45 .
I have a list, the like of which you have never seen before. This makes people travelling from scotland for the nbo seem like a sunday drive out!
We have Liverpool and the wirral, mid cheshire, and derbyshire represented on this evenings drive out.
Here goes:
cw42
scoobygav555
turbo toe
andy s. all from the stockport area.
goober
steelx from sandbach/northwich
johnwrx
andy_razz from liverpool/wirral
So, what format do you guys want? A straight drive out and about? Or maybe like the last meet with steelx, beefy and pitchblack, a drive to a nice pub in the country, a couple of cokes, and then a blast back?
Time is the factor for me, as I cant be out after 10:30. I have to be up for work at 4:40 the next day, and will have been up since the same time that day!
I fancy picking a nice country pub myself, say somewhere in derbyshire, maybe matlock way. The stockport lot can meet at the usual place, pick up the cheshire and wirral lot in macc, then head out to matlock over the cat and fiddle and through buxton.
Let me know what you think, or if you have any ideas.
See you all soon,
chris.
Pitch Black 20 June 2003, 21:14 Don't think I'll make this one Chris :( The car's showing an error code in the Throttle Sensor / Speedometer, it's in to Prosport tomorrow to see if it can be remedied! Hope it's not to serious.:eek:
Paul
hope you get it sorted paul, see you soon,
chris.
Andy S. 21 June 2003, 01:11 Chris just got in from fixing the car going to loton this weekend blinking oil leak, had to take the engine out and half the transmision to pieces. Anyway I will ask one of the guys I work with to recomend a pub around Matlock area as he lives just up the road from Matlock. I think we need one with a big car park!
morning andy, I hope the leak wasn't on your scooby! I presume you mean the race car.
Yeah, a big carpark would be a good idea, or maybe one with a beer garden/carpark, so we can admire our pride and joys as we drink,
chris.
This meet would've been perfect timing for me 'cos the cars in the dealers for PPP, Quickshift, etc, on Monday/Tuesday so it couldve had a proper drive out.
Never mind, have a good one anyway, see you at the next.
goober 21 June 2003, 09:03 CW, I will be meeting up at Jct 17 before heading to Leek. Catching a few others and then heading for the C&F via Macc.
Our intention was to then have a couple of drinks/chat/tyre kick etc (weather permitting), before heading back to Leek.
Includes a nice drive back down to Leek and then on to Congleton, you lot could then go off back to Macc, while we carry on back to the M6. What do you think?
G
goober, are you after meeting at the cat and fiddle? then heading back to the m6 after that?
if so, the stockport lot could meet up as usual and meet your lot there, then all drive down to macc together, and head our seperate ways from there.
sounds good to me, the c&f is a nice enough pub, but bring a jacket as it is the highest pub in england, and on a nice night, it will still be cold up there,
chris.
