Yo all, many thanx to all who attended today, considering the weather I think it was a sterling effort and a good run, especially the return journey.

Let's get some ideas for a meet in March and hopefully we'll get an even better turnout.

Come on people let's hear your ideas, did todays meeting point suit everyone or should we make it somewhere central to Shropshire/Staffs and Cheshire.

Shall we make it the 1st Sunday of every month?

Looking forward to seeing some more pics of today if anyone has any.

Si.

 

Si, I've seen the pics of Sundays meet and i am so gutted i couldn't make it...I am definitely going to try and make it to the March one. Keep me posted with details. Gav.

 

Hi Skoosh,

Nice event you organized that. Just a pity my rad split on the day!
Thanks for the info, sorted now.

There was a nice mix of cars there. The yellow sti been my fav.

See you for the next one.

Andy

Cheers,

Paul.

Hi Scoosh, enjoyed the day. Hopefully I'll be able to make the next one as well.

 

BTTT...................

 

Skoosh,
Sounds good to me, but March 6th is the next Peaks Tour and I'm not missing that .

BTW, did you get my email or PM?

Martin.

 

Ayup mart, March 6th no good for me either I'm afraid as I have a gig on the 3rd and on the 5th March, so will be knackerd.

I was looking at later on in March, perhaps the 20th so I can show off my new paintjob and new wheels .

It doesn't look like there's much interest in this at the moment though, sadly.

Skoosh.

ps: Yes, I did receive email.

 

Lots of people are probably interested (me for one!) but will not commit until a date has been decided!
See you in March sometime. This time I think we should do at least the speed limits on the way there, everyone enjoyed the return journey from our last trip!

 

a quick note to you all, do you have your own Stoke Owners Club Forum ??

if not and you interested in having your own forums, go to www.uk-performance.net & we can set one up for you FOC

 

Right then,

there will will be a Stoke/Shropshire meet on the 20th, at a yet to be decided location.
Feel free to make suggestions, and we'll settle on somewhere by the 6th.

Martin.

 

Why dont you guys come up to the Mascrat Manor Pub Jap Car Meet at J21 of the M6 that I run with a few others?

I've just come back from this months meet and even though it was valentines day, we still had around 40 cars!!

We have a forum and web site: www.japnorthwest.com

Have a look!

Paul.

 

Mainly cos it's too bleedin far for a monthly drive! Even Stoke's a bit further than I'd like.

Martin.

 

It's only half an hour from stoke!

Paul.

 

BTTT.........I take it that no-one is interested then?

Pity.

Skoosh.

 

Well, I can't make the 20th anymore due to the Peaks Tour date being changed.
I do need to have a play with my bullet camera before then, so need a run out to somewhere.
What's the name of the pub where the A53 crosses the A51? Anyone for a meet there early afternoon Sun 13th?

Martin.

 

Start a list then and see what numbers you get! It's still three weeks away and a lot can change in that time!
Did anyone here go to Bedford? Wish I had, it looked a nice track with plenty of distance between the track and the armaco!

what date have we settled on then?

 

I'll be there on the 13th as the 6th is Mother's Day and 20th is Peaks Tour.

Martin.

 

Might be able to make it on the 13th, if I get my car back by then - its only been gone a day and I'm missing it already - still, the astra diesel is making up for it .. NOT



Mark

 

Think the 13th might be good for me too. Im a probable at this point in time.

Gav.

 

Alright people?

I've edited the thread title.

Meet, Sunday, March 13th.

Venue - tba
time - tba
destination - tba
attendees - upto you............?

Let's have some ideas please and I'll start a new thread 2nite.

Si - nice new paint job and beutiful alloys to match

 

skoosh, if you're starting a new thread, I'll hijack this one ...

Does anyone in 'the group' have any 2.5 experience ? I'm specifically interested in the difference on the road between the 2.0 and the 2.5 - with a view to building a new engine for mine, with 2.5 unstrained or 2.0 steel bottom as the options.

Alternatively, does anyone have any 360+hp experiences on either engine - i.e. on the road, longlivety ?

I'm not going to be dragging or tracking mine, but I'm aware that its current output is going to kill it fairly soon (within 12 months) and I'm hoping to get something built to replace it before it goes, with a view to 380-400 hp as a road driven potential.

Obviously, there are people on both here and 22b with the experience, but I'd like to talk to someone directly, and maybe experience the car (?!).

Also, it's worth noting that it would need to remain a potentially high mileage, daily driver.

Cheers,

Mark

PS _ Obviously I'd have to 'do' something with the new gearbox, but I'll worry about that later (Assuming that this one lasts a while )

 

Hello all!

Been a while since ive been out, any space for an RB5 on this run?

What time is by the way?

Blitz.

 

Glad to hear you are pleased with your new paint job - you took it to Summerhouse in the end then?
Looking forward to the weekend and seeing your new 'mono-tone' paintwork!!
What's the plan - going to Derby again?
Coventry are having a meet on the 13th, tho that might be a bit far to go?
Nice bit of toll road on the way!?
