Title: Forum Meet before Winter
Post by: jeynesey on 12 October 2010, 17:59
Anyone fancy another big meet up before the weather starts getting really sh!t?

Thinking a-la Gordano/Gaydon meets last year....

Meeting point, bit of a cruise so half of us can get lost en route :lipsrsealed: to somewhere, be it an event like karting, Or a BBQ for Chuff?

Ideas??

YOU have to travel miles!?!  Lets have it in Manchester!

Seriously though, if you're going to do it, make it central, so midlands somewhere.

I've got plenty of free time at the moment, so would be up for it. Might have to nick a lift off someone. I'm sure Chuff can fit me in the wagon.

Thorpe Park? You mean the shoddy alternative to alton towers?  :wink:
Title: Re: Forum Meet before Winter
Post by: Shady Pioneer on 23 October 2010, 18:27
Shoddy? I prefer Thorpe Park to Alton Towers purely for their ride that does 0-80 in under 5 seconds. Epic feeling.
