Ian_C Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Wednesday 3rd October, 7:30pm for 8pm at the Caldecotte Arms, Milton Keynes. Last of the British summertime meets before we revert to every other month throughout the winter. Provisional plan is to skip November and hold meets December, February before going back to monthly from April onwards. Any enthusiast is welcome. Alongside the usual Audis - the undoubted highlight being a D3 S8 V10 - last month we had a Lancia Stratos replica running an Alfa Romeo 3.0 V6, a 1987 VW Caddy pick-up running a B5 S4 V6 biturbo and a Vauxhall VX220 that appears to have come straight from the pit lane at Silverstone. September's photographs</font> in the gallery. Potential MK meet newbies please post below so we can look out and welcome you! Feel free to send a pm if you are a little wary of turning up on your own, not sure which faces to look for etc. Location wise, the Caldecotte Arms pub is off a dual carriageway - look for the Windmill! With attendance back on the up, in recent months we have been totally unmissable.

scooby_simon Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'll try, but it is utter lunacy in The City at the moment ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 Might not be able to do this one. Currently booked to be in Chester for a couple of days but will see if I can re-arrange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Sorted. Managed to rearrange some interviews in Chester to Tues/Weds and not Wed/Thurs so I'll be there, fresh from the M6 & M1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted September 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 Ahh well done. You'll be in the Audi for the commute, but the VX is no doubt hibernating anyway. Distinctly quattro weather outside! Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted September 29, 2007 Report Share Posted September 29, 2007 Yep will certainly be the Audi this time. VX hibernating? Nah, I've still got 4 more trackdays booked before the end of the year. Had a 6am roof off blast the other morning as it was dry (sunny but bloody cold). Great fun and really invigorating. Took a bit longer to warm up the R888's though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to confess, there is simply nothing else like a dawn raid. Did a 5am midsummer Sunday blitz this year around Beds, Bucks, Northants and Cambs. Zero traffic. Epic fun.

fudge Posted September 30, 2007 Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Looks good for Wednesday. Might bring the Merc if it is still hood-down weather - or does that seem very unlikely? Was in Washington DC last week with temps in the mid-80s. UK is distinctly cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted September 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2007 Could do Richard, although bear in mind that it will be pretty dark by 7:30pm - even if sunset was under a perfect blue sky. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikw Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I should be stepping on to a plane in Oslo just around the time you lot are meeting up, so I'll have to content myself with an obscenely expensive airport beer. Enjoy the steaks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techieboy Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 It wasn't just you Botang. I thought he was trying to kill us poor innocent pedestrian bystanders, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted October 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Have a good trip to Norway Nik! As you are not around to discuss, please send me a pm about the brake pads. I'm free weekends of 7th, 14th and 21st November. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Quick reminder to people to <font color="red">avoid Jct 14 over the M1!</font> Carnage a fortnight ago going up to Buxton - I spun around, drove across MK to the A5 and up the 508 to Northampton in the end. Would advise anyone coming from the north to look ahead for a big queue on the J14 slip road and be prepared to stick on the M1 and take J13. Anyone coming from Bedford, I'd stay on the A422 into MK and certainly avoid the A509 from Newport Pagnell over J14. Botang, any comments or thoughts? You drive for a living and are always clued up on what's going on with the roads. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_simon Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 looking a little boubtfull for me; I'm just recovering from the cold of much doom; Wifee has just got it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Botang Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 It depends on the time of day as to which route I would take. I'd advise anyone coming from the north to leave the M1 at J15 and follow the A508 to the A5 as you said, from the south I think I'd have exited at J13 anyway.
