Oh dear!!

It's a fairly new services on the A1, I think it only opened last year but it's huge!! I don't think you'll miss it. Maybe we should aim to meet there for around 10-ish?? That should give us plenty of time incase we get lost (highly likely, especially if you're following me!!)

I can meet you at the new Wetherby services and drive up together if you like?? It'll be a case of the blind leading the blind!!

Andrew, yeah sorry I haven't sent you those pics yet, I'm a bit rubbish when it comes to things like that!! I'll get them sent across tomorrow. I'll be taking my camera on Saturday as well so hopefully might get chance to do some better ones!!

I was planning on setting off about 10.30. Which way will you be going? I was thinking maybe coming off the M62 and going up the A1?

OMG!! That's a hell of a lot of caravans!! I'm guessing our run on Saturday might be more of a crawl....!?!

That's the trouble with the 370.... you can't park it anywhere without ladies wanting to stroke it..!!!

Matt, is it the same one?? I've added a link in my previous post.

I wasn't sure if we'd be doing a run... I'd be happy either way.

Is the planned route on Saturday going to take us on the Buttertubs Pass or Ribblehead Run?? Apartently these are two of the best driving roads in the country, both in the Lake District!?!

Really looking forward to this!!

I don't think our Zed club has too much to worry about, did anybody see how reckless that bloody Cortina club were as they left the Sportsman??? They should all be getting life bans for that!!

There were over a hundred of them last year, but only 7 managed to dodge a ban for this years' meet!!

No probs. I wish I'd have taken more but I spent to much time yakking!!

Here are my pictures from Sunday....

Thanks Martin

This was my first time at a car meet, and although I was a little aprehensive at first being a newbie, I was made to feel very welcome and had an absolutely amazing time. The weather couldn't have been any better, the drives were totally exhilerating, the cars were amazing, and the organisation was unbelievably professional and well thought out. I have to say I met some fantastic people this weekend, and learnt lots of new things about my car........ and how to keep it clean!! This forum is by far the best mod I will ever have for my Zed, although I've now compiled a new wish-list after this weekend!!

Massive thanks to Colin and Dave for all your hard work in making this weekend the success it was, and to anyone else who was involved. It was very much appreciated, and I'm already looking forward to my next meet!!

p.s. I'll post my photos on here as soon as I've worked out how!!

OMG..... that's such a bargain!!! I can't believe nobody has snapped your hand off yet!!

I'll be driving an Ebisu 370 Coupe on the Sunday as well....!!

(Well, I hope so!?!?!?!?)

PM'd you mate

The fact that the thread was locked has not stopped your story being heard by other members!! I caught up on this after it was locked, so it's hardly a contradiction!

I'll pm you what I meant about the legal ramifications if you like because it's clear that you've misunderstood what I meant.

I'm actually on your side in all this, I shouldn't need to justify my comments. I just think it's unfair that Beavis did the right thing and it's all blown up in his face.

Beavis, I've never met you and I'm fairly new to this forum, but I just wanted to say that after reading about Huskys appauling experience, you were totally right to lock the thread. It was becoming less of a forum discussion and more of a public slanging match between Husky and the other party concerned. I back your decision 100% as this was in danger of turning into a legal battle which could have been very detrimental to the forum in the long run. I think it's such a shame and an injustice that you felt the need to quit your post as a result of this, I know how hard you've been working to organise the Wales trip and how efficient you have been in dealing with everything, as indeed have the other moderators.

Speaking of injustices, Husky I totally feel for you. I had a very similar problem when the auto gearbox went in my mitsubishi fto years ago, after owning it for only a few months. The dealer/warranty company totally skirted around the problem to avoid getting it replaced under warranty and I was out of pocket for a similar amount as you. I also put it down to experience, but it just shows that without your posts on this forum, we're all in danger of falling victims to these companies who know all the little tricks to get away without paying out, and effectively finding legal ways to rip us off. Good on you for sticking to your guns, you may have lost out this time but at least you can take some comfort on the fact that all the other members on here are now aware and can hopefully avoid this on the future.

Good on you mate, you took one on the chin for all of us!!

Bloody common.......!!!!

You'd think they should be the ones calling you up for the test drive, and treating you like royalty to get your business, especially for a car like that. They're all the same...!!

It really worries me that if they're this crap when you're trying to buy the car, just how bad is the aftersales service going to be!?!?!?!?

Sounds like a good day out. Count me in!!

Blimey, looks like you're on your own with this one then Nixy...... even your fellow sprinklers are worried!!
