Hi all,
Sorry about cancelling the Jan meet but I encountered a few problems, but how does sunday 4th february sound, okay? please let me know and i'll get busy...oh, i'll sort orders for those who would like sunday dinners at the Tynant rather than sandwiches and i'll plan a revised route!
... sorry again about january but it was out of my hands,
See you all soon
Chris

Chip

Sounds great to me . Lunch seems good idea . Might even be able to get that video of the last meet.

Feb 4th OK for me.
No Tynant meal for me thanks, got enough weight to carry in the car already without putting away a Sunday lunch.
Better get busy copying that video.

MARK MORRIS

hi chris

mark and karen

Chris-WRX

Hi Mark,
No problem, it was all a bit...rushed really last time,....just out of interest would you and Karen like to organise a meet down your way as I recall you have some experience with a previous car club, and the possibility of a Castle Coombe trip which we'd all enjoy.
Note to all, sorry I haven't contacted you via phone but Paul (RB5) had the telephone numbers and I haven't seen him recently.

DAVE-W

As always you can count me in .

A copy of that video wouldn't go amiss either Chris mate .

As far as events for us as Welsh Scoobynet/SIDC, heres a few options:-

My mates who run the West Wales RSOC have offered us an area in their Margam Park show. It is a static show admittedly (so lots of cleaning and polishing to look presentable ) but its a tidy day out-I've knowledge through helping out for the last few years in my RS days. We each have to pay the normal entry fee.

Another possibility would be to enquire about getting a Welsh Scoobynet/SIDC stand at the RSOC Castle Coombe show. Again, a good day out with track action to watch (or take part if you're up to it!!!).

Just a thought......

Cya all soon,

David

Chris-WRX

when is it Dave?

DAVE-W

The West Wales show is on Sunday June 3rd and the Castle Coombe RSOC day is on Saturday 22nd July.

If enough people are interested in both/either of the shows then we need to sort it out ASAP because the RS shows get booked up very early in the year.

Perhaps we can get everyone's opinion at the Feb. meeting and we'll go from there.

David

Chip

Dave W,
I went to last years RSOC club meeting in Margam with a mate who's got a MK2 RS2000.
What a laugh. I know I like to keep my own car clean but these guys were just so so sad. Putting mirrors under their cars so people could see how shiny their exhausts were amazed me. Some of these sad people even had two sets of wheels with them. If it was a track day that would be understandable but the spare set was to go on the car after it had been driven to Margam.

So if anyone wants a laugh go along and have a look.

Chip

DAVE-W

Point taken Chip, and I must admit I've been there and won the trophies (yeah, yeah - so I'm sad ) but the load of trophies I won added value to my cossie and hence I got a better deal when it came to buying the scoob .

My idea of being there is more to just represent the SIDC / Scoobynet along with all the other car clubs in the area. Anyway, if a static shows not your thing perhaps you'd be up for castle coombe??????

David

Phatboy

I'm coming back to the uk on 4th Feb arriving Gatwick approx 9.30 am.

What time is meet arranged for ? can I make it back to Cardiff, unpack and get to the meet ?

If I cant have a good one

Mark

DAVE-W

Mark,

Depends how quick you get home mate

Not sure of time etc. Chris????

David

Chris-WRX

Right, time...i think we ought to look at an 11.30 to 12.00 gathering at the car park while setting off at 1, hopefully giving everyone time to have lunch, (if they want) and drinks.
Note: As far as i'm concerned this a set date but there is an element of doubt which might crop up, an unavoidable problem that might make us absent for the day, But that is VERY MINIMAL, and I'd inform you all well in advance of any problems (e.g we can't make it) But the chance of it happening is very very slim

Chris-WRX

Hi all!, How do I put this erm,...This morning I happened to meet a guy who was standing alongside his Lotus Espirit V8 and well to cut a long story short he wants to come along to the meet....is that okay? Responses please before he phones me to confirm next week, also a 911 Turbo is likely to turn up, and my mate with his Evo 5....
So responses please before next week!
See ya all soon
Chris

DAVE-W

I've got no problem with it Chris....if everyone else is ok about it then I'll invite some others along, friends, acquiantances etc. including 2 x EVO 6, maybe 355 GTS.

Its time these supercar boys got shown what a real car can do

LOL

Should be fun

David

Paul J

Where is the Tynant?

Paul

Chip

Paul,
The Ty-Nant is in Radyr, Cardiff.
Turn off the A470 at Castell Coch. If coming from South take first exit which then goes over the river to another R/about. Take left here and pub is about 500 yards on the right at the next set of lights just past the garden centre.

As for Sunday unfortunately I have to work so I wont be able to come along this time unless I can get back home in time. This is unlikely as I have to travel 100 miles to the job and back to Cardiff again.

So I hope everyone has a good time. Remember drive carefully and watch out for those coppers around Brecon.

By the way if anyone from West Wales passes a light blue Transco van travelling back to Cardiff on Sun morning give me a wave.

Dave W , Well have to get that meeting together in a pub one night soon.

Cheers everyone.

Have good time

Chip.

Acker

We still on for this boys?

DAVE-W

Chip,

Sorry to hear you cant make it...perhaps I'll pass you in the van on my way there. We'll sort the pub meet out soon for sure

Acker,

I know I'll be there mate.........

Cya all tomorrow

David

Acker

Cheers Dave, I was just checking 'cos I didn't want to be there on my own.

Chip

So what happened then. Last time everyone was posting here saying what a good time was had or am I missing something here.

Chip.

I missed it - what was the turn out like?

Chip

Apparently only five cars made it. Then decided not to go anywhere. Maybe better next time.
