Thumbs up STOKE MEET- AUGUST 2005.

Evening all, just thought I'd spark the idea of another meet for Stoke/Staffs
scoob owners...............for a change

Seeing as no-one else can be bothered

I'll think about details over the next few days and dates etc etc.....

Would be good to have a proper turnout though, to start the ball rolling I'll start the usual list.

1) Skoosh.
2) ........?


Cheers 4 now.

Si.

I'll make sure I go to this one, count me in!

1) Skoosh.
2) dannytwo
3) Gav-WRX
4) Mrs WRX
5) reno
6) Scoobyslammed
7) speedydaveb
8)

I'm interested in the RR day also so long as it's not 200 miles away and isn't too dear. Before I do that I need to get my new turbo on, as the one currently on the car looks a bit iffy.

Has anyone got any st/stl welding wire I could buy/have please - I need about a metre for tieing some exhaust wrap onto my downpipe. I should get it lagged and the turbo heatshield back on now that the summer is here!

The Rolling Road is in Congleton. I went there a few months ago and it is £35 for a power run. We will have to sort out a time and date as it has to be booked in advance

Ayup you lot, glad to see some early interest in this and was wondering.............I'm going to get some "STAFFS SCOOBY CREW" window graphics made for the top of my rear window, probably in white and about 2" high.....won't cost alot, anybody else interested in these, perhaps in a different colour, probably cost about a tenner max.......?

Let me know and I'll arrange a GB.........

also i was wondering how everyone feels about maybe getting some walkietalkies?
this will be alot cheaper than using mobiles
and it will keep us intouch more
plus will be a bit of a laugh

dont think they cost a great deal.

what do you think?
or am i being silly

Gav, can you contact the place in Congleton and ask how many places we can book as a block booking, also, how much time will we need per car, cost, dates available and how many places we can book.

Cheers, or give me the tel no.

From their website:

Rolling Road Prices
4WD - £60 for the first hour then £35 per hour for subsequent hours

'Power Runs'
4WD - £35 +vat
including BHP / Torque power output graph printout

http://mikeanics.co.uk/prices.htm

Obviously this is their normal price rather than a group price and I doubt an hour per car is needed.

If you do and you enjoy watching bands..........get yourselves over to the Oxford Arms, Maybank, Newcastle on Saturday night, August 6th.

There's a really good Bryan Adams Tribute Band called RECKLESS playing there.....DRUMMER IS BLOODY BRILL.......

Si.

No why..................?

Live music is NEVER as sedate as album recordings.......don't knock it till you've tried it............2 hour show, a packed house and plenty of loud rock music........Bryan's early album Reckless was actually voted in the top 50 all time best rock albums in KERRANG magazine........!!

ps: I also play the drums in said band........

Venue opens - 19:30pm
Admission - 4.00

Venue has seating for 95 people and is usually sold-out by 21:00 and doors shut.

Band go onstage at 21:15 until 23:30 with NO breaks, yes that's right, a 2 hour show.........unheard of in these parts.......!!!!

Reckless are a Bryan Adams Tribute band playing all the chart hits ranging from early 80's upto present day and, yes we do play "everything I do" because we have to, although it's alot heavier and there's a ***** of a guitar solo at the end.

Hope to see some of you there and I guarentee a good night out.
