There are regular South Manchester and Cheshire meets, infact there is one tonight if you are interested. Meet at MacDonalds on the Silk Road (A54?) near Macclesfield at 7:30. Check out the other thread for details.

stephen, where abouts from mcr are you from? North south east west??
If south, then come along tonight to the sth mcr meet, as super mentioned above, we meet here just where the map says "DOOLEY" in Dooley Lane.
It is a pub called the Hare and Hounds, and has a sizable carpark.
From there, tonight, we will be going to mc'd's in macc, to meet up with the rest of the group, and then for a little spin to swettenham,
let me know if your up for it, as we don't like hanging around for people who don't turn up, I will email my phone number to you,
chris.

I used to work at Globe square in Dukinfield for the Hyde Group. You should come out with the south mancs / cheshire scoobys there was 11 of us out tonight. Normally we go for drives rather than sitting in car parks, but tonight we chilled out in pub car park.


Enjoy scooby driving anyway. It always puts a smile on my face.

Stephen, a few hints and tips for you

1. dont stay out late in the scoob if you can help it, there have been a few stolen scoobs (and an RS Focus) in your area and night time is when you have the greatest chance of being followed home.

2. get a tracking system fitted, a must IMHO.

3. as no doubt your in roughtly the same(ish) area as me, ill wave if i know what im looking for (ie what model/colour/year is your scoob?)
