We will be having our regular mid-week evening meet this coming Tuesday the 13th. All are welcome - even Stan (we're all forgetting what he looks like ).

Grahame

 

Hi Grahame

Any chance of making it Wednesday as opposed to Tusday ??

Cheers

Adam

 

See y'all on Tuesday!

Hugh

 

Cool, see you on Tuesday then.

What time do people usually turn up, as I won't be late this time.

Jon

 

Stan's ugly. Surely you can't have forgotten that

(with apologies to Stan, I like you really - how are you? )

 

BTTT

Anyone told Sal and her dad?

 

Alan,

We were going to meet on Wednesday, but Hugh couldn't make it - so we changed to Tuesday...

Grahame

 

Presume it's usual time, usual place? Probably try to get there around 7ish.

Grahame,
Reccie has now been done, will bring detials tommorow

 

Influence at last......

Hugh

 

hey guys. First Cambridge meet so where do you lot meet up??

 

Hoping to get in for this but may be in the Vectra ( )

Its in Fen Ditton @ the pub on the river whose name I can't remember as I'm drinking tonight & not tomorrow...

I'd be hoping that P1Fanatic & Barnaby make it as well, like as if they've neither got far to go

 

do you mean the Plough?

 

ooh and what time do you guys get there for??

 

We usually congregate from 1930 onwards, though it sounds as though DP's having his own mini-meet from 1900

If you're planning to eat there I'd suggest arriving before 2000 & getting your order in, as service isn't always too rapid.

Hugh

 

cheers hugh!! so which pub is it??

 

It is the Plough

Directions... From the A14 Eastbound come off at the Fen Ditton turn-off (B1047 I think) towards Cambridge. After a couple of miles, in the centre of Fen Ditton, turn right (the Blue Lion pub will be on your left as you do so). Follow the road down for about 100 yards, then bear right at the War Memorial. Follow the twisty tiny road round for another 200 yds or so. There will be a sharp left, and then a bit further up the pub is on the left while the road continues round a bend to the right.

From the A14 Westbound, come off at the A1303 exit bearing left towards Cambridge. Keep going straight over traffic lights etc until you see a traffic light junction with a right hand turn signposted Fen Ditton (I think it has it's own filter lane). Go right up there, and about 1 mile up there turn left at the Blue Lion pub and follow directions as above.

Thankyou!! im from cambridge but just wasnt sure which pub to go to. should see you all later!

 

Looks like we're in for a mega turnout

See you all around 7.30 (remember to apply the mozzie spray - I reckon those critters will be biting tonight

Grahame

 

Sexy wrx69,

Feel free to try out your kickboxing on Dave T-S (if he turns up!) for being rude about Stan (if HE turns up )

Dave,

You're a harsh man

Stan,

You know you're more than welcome at the Plough...

Hugh

 

Good to see everyone last night - thanks for the organisation Grahame.

Hugh

 

Bu99er missed it Bet it was lovely sitting by the river last night too....

I'm really annoyed with myself for not looking in here

Mark - in answer to your question, no!

Sal

 

Sorry Sal

I was only in the office for five mins yesterday and couldn't find your e-mail address

Anyway we had guest appearance from Richard (aka Bitten Hero, aka un-bitten hero, aka re-bitten hero, aka offtobitebigsausagesingermnayhero) via telephone from Germany. He says hello and life is good with him (no knick-knacks in the new house so could you send him some)

Very pleasant night down by the river thanks to Grahame once again

 

ROTFLMAO @ "offtobitebigsausagesingermnayhero"

I'm glad he's ok, no probs re the knick-knacks as I'm amassing a collection ready to take with me on my first visit, including some nice stone elephants

That's if he ever gets in touch...

Sal

 

Thought the evening went well - we covered a myriad of subjects, including hair removal/shaving, blow off versus recirc., Hugh's perks, Mark's wonky geometry etc. We even had a telephone link-up with our German representative. See what you missed Puff

See you on the Rutland Run 15th September.

Grahame

Ah bugger missed it again. Was driving back from Cornwall in the afternoon and had been away for 3 weeks so the missus got my attention before scoobynet did.

DOH!

 

Simon,

Where's your sense of priority??

Still, we did worry from your post in non-Scooby related that you might've suffered a werewolf attack at the meet

Hugh

 

I must remember that insect repellant next time - I got really bitten last night!

Good to see everyone again, thanks for organising it Grahame (my Mum and Dad say hi!)

Looking forward to the Rutland Water run.

Jon

 

Sorry I missed another one - but had a good excuse - no car (at least not one to attend a scoob meet )
Mines having its long awaited major engine upgrade and will be back hopefully at the end of Aug for running in. Then - all being well - back for a gearbox job end Oct if I haven't shredded the std one by then .
Hope to see you all in Sept.
Stan
PS send appologies for absence to Grahame !!

 

Hi guys and gals,

I am still around! I'm finally back on the Internet now that Deutsche Telekom have finally sorted out my phone line

As Mark says, life is going well here at the moment - good work, great city, nice people... so far so good! Social life is quiet but picking up (out partying last night!).

I'm having a nightmare getting insurance sorted out for the Scoob though. They won't insure me until it's registered in Germany (which means I can't use S600B RG over here ) - the German love of paperwork and things being done "right" [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] I can't register it without taking it to a testing place, which could cost up to 500 quid to be checked, headlamps converted, etc. Then Direct Line (UK) won't send me a letter of confirmation for my NCD until I cancel my insurance with them. But I can't get insurance here until I have it!!!! Which means for a day or two the Scoob will sit there, uninsured, on the street!! Not a happy bunny [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] Still, it'll be worth it...

Off hiking in the Alps on Sunday, then off to cover Jordan and the Porsche Supercup races at Monza in a few weeks time

Hope everything's going well for people - Stan, one day you'll actually make it back to a meet! Good luck getting the car all sorted.

See you all next time I'm in Cambridge...

Cheers
Richard

 

Hi All,

I'm sorry I missed the meet too. I was either sitting at 160k's on a French autoroute heading for Calais or sitting on the Ferry drinking gallons of coffee when you lucky folk were sat in the Plough in the evening Sun. Incidentally, had a fantastic time in the Dordogne, Biaritz and the Pyrenees. Covered 2057 miles in the Scoob in 13 days. The roads in the Dordogne and in the Pyrenees were fantastic!

The car was faultless but I unfortunitely had the miss-fortune of a French trails biker falling off his motorbike on to my car and taking gouges out of my rear bumper and scratching my boot and spoiler.

I'll post some pictures up when I have them developed and scanned - + some statistics regarding my fuel consumption for the trip for all the geeky people like me ...

Hopefully see you all at the Rutland Run (work load alllowing - I have a big presentation to give the following Thursday), and if not, at the next evening meet.

Ben.
