Unhappy On foot in Tyldesley

Been driving around most of the day and saw no-one to wave too. Walked to shop and saw 2 scoobs - one black with gold wheels (D**NS) and the other blue with gold wheels - both near Queens pub on Elliott Street Tyldesley. Too embarassed to wave while I was walking carrying a Co-op carrier bag!

I go through Tyldesley to and from work. I'm usually heading to Atherton between 4:30pm - 4:45pm. Black classic with 18" gold wheels. I often see a silver WRX heading in the opposite direction just before I get to the "one way" road.

mines a black classic with 17inch gold wheels (size isnt everything blade), not seen the blue one about, but I quite often see the silver one on the road that becomes one way before 7 in the morning as I head to the east lancs.

What did you think of the Blackpool meet, Blade? Did you stay to the end and go to Maccies? That was some fine noise when we all started up together in Fleetwood. Are you planning to go to the next St Helens meet? Me and the missis are thinking about going.

Directions, and a date and time for the next meet would help as I'm not too familiar with the area. A postcode would do because I could look it up on Autoroute.

As for the Blackpool thing, I had my in-car camera running as we left the car park. I stayed in the traffic queue until around 9:30, then I had to leave because my girlfriends sister was coming to stay the night. (No rude comments about that please)

Saw a silver (classic i think) with, what looked like a brembo brake setup the other morning going up princess ave towards tyldesley. I was in the blue bugeye turning left out of ennerdale towards manchester road.
Not seen many others to be honest, I'll have to try and get to the next meet to see you all.

I've seen 3 silver ones knocking around Tyldesley recently. Seems to be around 10 regulars altogether in the area. From where we live can hear them on Astley Street and Elliott Street but cannot see them.
If we see you around will wave. Never had wave returned yet from a bugeye driver so please return wave. (Sorry one in Liverpool about 3 months ago).
We'll be at the next St Helens meet for our first time. Suggestions will be appreciated on what mods to do next with the scoob. Always been a sensible Nissan driver before the Scoob. My attitude has seriously changed though. I even wash the scoob myself.
