Cool Darlaston convoy to Long Eaton meet #5 !

Date - Sunday, March 14th
Destination - Long Eaton.
Meeting Place - The Darlaston Inn, Stone, Staffs.
Time - 10:45 am
Depart - 11:00 am
E.T.A - 12 noon

The plan is to try and get about 50+ scoobs for a meet , starting in Long Eaton and ending up in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, for some grub, a shandy and a good ol' chinwag.

I'd like to get at least 20 or so from the Staffs/Shrops/Cheshire crew ( we're not far from that many now at Darly!! ) convoy down the A50 at national speed limit, meet some of the Long Eaton people down there, meet 2 or 3 other convoys, have a spirited 25 mile run and end it with a carvery.

Names so far, I assume, are:

Skoosh
Oat
Shrops
NevB
STI555
Cashy
Danny
Reno
Mark Wild
ChrisP
Blitz
Basford Tim
Assti (?)
McScooby (?) havn't heard much of ya mate........ok I hope....
Jolley.

Get your' names down please on here and let's have another good day out.


Hoping for a good 20 or so on here people and if I forgot anyone , I apologise.

Your pal and cheadle tour-guide.

Skoosh.

Talking The Bug!

It does get quite infectious tho Skooshy boy. I remember when you used to want to get in your car at every opportunity and organise meets and things!

In fact, that was not that long ago. Probably today actually!

Once you get the bug, its there to stay!

How is everyone? Lookin forward to the Longeaton then? Remind us of the details Skoosh.

I will be bringing my nephew with me. Are we stopping for a bite to eat somewhere?

Smile Longeaton meet. ??

Going to do my clutch on Saturday, was to be this Sat but tooooo cold. It has to be done before i go anywhere in it. Going to try a different idea for doing it ?.Will take pics of progress. Hopefully if my idea works, should be a good job done. Its was slipping badddddd and i have parked it up now, to avoid any more damage. So hopefully will be out on Sunday, bedding it in. lol .

EVERYONE PRAY

DEAR GOD.

Please note that if you let the Sun shine next saturday and the weather is warm . I will attend Church the following Sunday and i will also become a jeaovas witness.

Ahmen.

Ayup Tim, can't believe you washed the car mate!! Spent about 3 hours on mine today and now she's covered in ice outside....DOH !!!

Can't afford the clutch mate, I think you wanted a couple of hundred quid didn't you?

I bought one this weekend from a place in Notts for £110 all in, collect it tuesday hopefully as I'm down at TSL.

Having it fitted by Ian at M/Drayton on Saturday morning.

Looking forward to the meet on 14th, Rachel's coming along too so I'll have to slow down abit....................NOT !!!

C ya later mate and don't be late on the 14th.
