Question

I have just moved down to Hertfordshire from Darlington, anyone out there live near Bishops Stortford?

I have seen a Terzo, a couple of silver cars and a P1 so far. Anyone else?

Just east of Saffron Walden - 2xUK MYOO (saves arguments, one each )

One DBM, one green.

Both:
Full SS exhaust from turbo back
ITG panel filter
Prodrive OZ P1 gold 10 spoke wheels
STI5 rear wing

There's a P1 in Saffron Walden and a DBM saloon in the next village.

We should have a local meet!!??

Mine's a P1
18" P1 Rims

Be good to have a local meet. Keep us informed of where and when

Think I may have recently seen you in Stortford. I thought 'Sonic Blue -- P1, oh no it's got four doors, EU import'.

Carl
Silver MY00 (EU import)
Do a lot of miles, so front is often black.

(Re: local meet. I am reliably informed that the 'new look' Coach & Horses on Thorley Street looks good, and it used to have a big car park pre-building work, so hopefully still has. I think it opens either this weekend or next.)

Bet you were having one of THOSE conversations in the car again.....and I bet the Porsche is a Boxster - the car for the man that can't afford a real Porsche.....

PS - used the M11 south last Sat morning - the roadworks - what a fiasco! - then, glutton for punishmant, the A505 tween Royston and Baldock on Sat afternoon - two lanes down to one, 30mph limit, BIGGER fiasco!!

Welcome MickeyG,

I'm up for a trip down to Stortford (from Cambridge). I went to the Coach and Horses last summer for a meet (remember it RobW?)- the car park was big, but the pub itself was in need of refurbishment. Sounds like it could be the ideal place for a meet.

Yes Grahame I remember it well!
It's in a good location and had loads of parking, I'm up for it but not for a few weeks as I've injured my foot at work, so no driving for a while

Rob
p.s. let's hope a few more show this time!
Dave, don't give me a wave then

Rob - injured foot - did ya drop your wallet on it mate???

PS - should have kept quiet about the train - subsidence at Broxbourne - 4 cars insted of 8 - three extra stops - had to stand to Broxbourne for 45 mins - 30 mins late home (again) - WAGN really couldn't organise a pissup in a public toilet

The B158 used to be fun but now suffers from the same fate as the main rail line - flooding!!
Wasn't coming home from Liverpool Street fun last night - NOT !!

The 18:00 Stansted Express was only four cars.....and three extra stops.....

And this morning - just under 3 hours door to door.........

Work is OK - it's damn commuting on WAGN trains - the so-called prestige airport service - that stresses me!!!!!

If you get carved up by a green MY00 saloon driven by a blond girlie going through Dunmow morning or evening - it's me missus!!!

One for Dave TS - -

If you get stuck in the roadworks on the a505 again going to Baldock (incidentally where I live look out for the w reg blue prodrive or t reg silver rb5 outside the Goldcrest....) not too far from stortford either...Take the first left for Kelshall, follow through to sandon, then wallington and after that you'll come out in Baldock (excellent B roads for testing the car as well (+ enough width for you and a tractor !!)

Thumbs up

Looks like we may be on for a meet. Carl - I will have a look into the Coach and Horses (when it opens), and check that the Landlord is agreeable etc..

I'm not sure how these things work (now starting to regret the "I'll set something up" statement now that my bluff appears to have been called) - I assume people turn up at a pub and look at each others cars, talk about Scoobs, sink a couple of soft drinks etc.. or do people go for a drive around?

I'm happy to arrange either - What are your views?

I will stick a new post when I have made some arrangements. See you all there.

I know the road you mean fairly well - I used to work for a mate in Hitchin (Lilley)at weekends and took the back road from Saffron Walden via Wenden to Royston then sometimes a variety of the side roads off the A505 to miss the tailbacks at Baldock - you know exactly what I mean!!!

Actually we were ok in the roadworks Saturday - I was head of the queue doing exactly 30mph in the 30 limited part and had a nice rolling roadblock behind us tailing back for miles - some people can't wait to have their picture taken for free!!!

Mickey sounds cool! That venue would be fine, how about a months time? will the pub be open by then? Sat or Sun should be cool with me.
