Chesterfield Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I tend to go by the BBC 5 day forecast. Its fairly accurate, but a bit pesemistic! says cloudy here today in Chesterfield, but its that sunny Im thinking of going home to fetch the Z just for the hell of it.

mini Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Yeah, I'm tempted at staying in Chester too, as it's a bit of a drive from Stratford but will need to book somewhere quick! So long as I can find a cheap hotel with a bar I'll be happy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacko Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Dear all, Just to let you know that in the next day or so I'm going to be sending out PMs to all parties with confirmations about some of the details and asking for some pertinent infomation. Can I just ask that you respond as quickly as you can to the PMs so that I can collate the information asap and pass on where neccessary. Not to worry anyone, its only going to be around mobile numbers (in case of delays, missing people etc) and assistance in helping out the pub with meals etc. If you think I already have your mobile number (which I do a lot of) then I'd please like you to confirm in case any have changed/been updated etc) Anyone that went last time will understand that due to numbers, it was a hell of a lot easier just to bypass the menu and go for carvery, so as much as possible I'd like to do the same. Its a lot better for all parties if we just say we're going to have x number of carverys etc. especially in helping out the kitchen due to the massive amount of numbers thats going to hit them! I realise that will not be applicable to all, as will have some vegetarians etc so there will be other choices of the menu. Food has always been great here, so don't worry that you'll not find anything, just that it might take a little longer! Anyway, don't respond here please. Await the PM or PM me directly if you know now that you happy just to take the carvery etc...... Anyone that's wondering, it was the usual 3x choices of meat and lots of spuds/veg etc..... Was bloody lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I was flicking through my new Evo mag at the weekend and in their eCOTY feature there's a picture of the team sitting eating roast lamb baps outside a pub, apparently in Wales. It looks and sounds suspiciously like our pub in Bala. Anyone else seen this? Yes i think it is the same pub in Bala, looked like the same roads too that we used from Bala to Betsi Would be great to get another meet like this sorted again for early next year, maybe in the spring.

Billy7766 Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 I know the info is in here somewhere but there are 48 pages on this thread so....where are people staying on the Saturday night? I'm London based, so having previously thought I'd drive up and back in a day realistically that's not going to happen and I now plan to drive up Saturday evening aiming to arrive around 9 (all of which assumes I have a car by then!)

D20NNY Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 to the powers that be thanks for letting my mate Tim barks come along, for those who dont know him he runs a well established tuning company in holywell north wales called MVS, he mostly looks after skylines and with his new purpose built workshop he wants to expand into the 350z market, his next project car is likely to be a zed (it will be a monster if his previous cars are anything to go by!). he started off building monster trucks at a young age and has 2 custom built full size trucks which he used to compete with over here and in America, I often see his ugly mug on men and motors! but the constant impacting damaged his back so he moved into custom building skylines, so far he has built 3 cars, one a road going gts t, another a stripped out big power track car, and his new one the blue GTR, these cars have to be seen to be beieved, the attention to detail ive never seen anything like. He appreciates you guys letting him come out in his non zed car and is looking forward to meeting you all, and for those in the north wales area he would certainly be interested in meeting your servicing and modifying requirements, he looks after my car anyway and he is the only person i would trust to do so, hes not the sort of guy to pester you to bring your car to him but he will be there for a chat with anyone and will have some of his business cards to give out if thats ok this is his track car: the important bit: action shots: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
