A8_Tony Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I too am unable to make this one now fellas, emergency at work means I'm working this weekend. Ironically for one of my clients in Stamford!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizzy Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Sorry folks - another drop-out I'm afraid I've got to help sail a mate's yacht from Lowestoft to Fosdyke Yacht Haven on the Wash - we leave HW Saturday and all being well will arrive there on Sunday morning - weather permitting. Was supposed to be doing this last weekend, but we chickened out with the F7-8's forecast! Hope some of you still make it as it's a nice place and have a good meal. I really will try for 3rd time lucky, although sadly it won't be in the S4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techieboy Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 OK. So is anyone other than the Bedford contingent planning on going on Sunday? If nobody else is planning on going, lets save 30 miles each way and go to Grafham Water and eat at Perry instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to GoogleMaps, this Grafham place would be about the same distance as Rutland for me [maybe even slightly less]. That said, I'm not 100% confirmed for this anymore; I'm still getting over my recent hospital stay. If my brother feels like going too, I'll go but let him drive and just give him the money for petrol... Otherwise I think I might have to miss this one Don't let that affect which pub you choose though; I'll do either if I am going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brisel Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Anyone and everyone is welcome - it doesn't matter what you drive! All that's important is not to be an internet serial killer and have a love of good cars Oh, and welcome to Tyresmoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_C Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 Anyone, even Vauxhalls! May I suggest that the long standing Tyresmoke members who are 100% definitely attending post below during the course of Saturday. As Techie mentions above, there is no way we are both driving to Rutland from Bedford to meet up with each other - we only live two miles apart! However, if a few people are fully committed then hell yes I am going to make a journey north. Techie, you have a pm. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian_C Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 [ QUOTE ] who said anything about vauxhalls? [/ QUOTE ] YOU did!! Check my title under my username......... Anyway, as mentioned above, Techie and I are not going to be driving all the way to Rutland for a nice romantic Sunday lunch for two when we can do that in Bedford. Oh hang on, that came out wrong........ Seriously, a bit of a shame, especially considering the weather has improved after the drizzle this week. Oh well! Roll on Windsor Virginia Water.

techieboy Posted May 19, 2007 Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 M16, don't worry about Ian_C, he's not as spooky as he sounds but is directly wired into Government and Manufacturer databases and is the TSN in-house font of knowledge on all things automotive. [original text removed] A fine choice of motor there (if that is what you drive). We've got a few members on TSN that drive some modded Monaro's and I think we're all in love with the noise they make. Neither Ian or I are going to bother with Rutland tomorrow as unfortunately, it looks like nobody else can make it now. As Ian mentioned, the Windsor meet is always well attended and there is a more local bi-monthly meet in Milton Keynes (which usually happens on the first Wednesday every other month) and is due to happen in the first week of June. Like others have said, anybody in any kind of car is welcome; it's definitely not Audi only! Hope to see you at one of the meets in the not too distant future.

[/ QUOTE ] That's pure supposition on my part Botang; Ian may well recognise the number personally/professionally. For all I knew M16 might refer to somebodies preference in automatic weapon. I'm the guilty one here, I did go to the RAC website to see if that did bring back anything Vauxhall related and did publish the results. So for that, I apologise to anyone that has taken offence and am standing in the corner of the room feeling suitably chastised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Moi? Never! Newbie (and I mean that expression in the polite sense for - contrary to popular belief - I don't know your name) you may wish to change your user name from 'M16' to something more subtle. Posting your car vrn on the net isn't advised. Click 'home' then 'Personal information, email, password, etc.' to modify your display name. It will require moderator approval.
