NWM12

Well why don't you drive to bristol then!  

No go for me, car is off the road ready for the re-build.

Mind you my mates Cabby may be ready this time, i will check with him.

Those coming from Cheshire, shall we say 6.30 at Stretton Fox on M56 then we can all convoy upto the pub from there??

Fordyx, where's Stretton Fox? I'll be joining the M56 at Stockport and join the M6 from that, is stretton fox anywhere near there?

Walt, you coming to this one? We could cruise down from Stockport? :dontknow:

I'm coming Phataz!…The Stretton fox is at J10 of the 56, wheras the M6 slip rd I think is J9….So we could do an extra couple of miles couldn't we?  

Walt yr right its only a mile or so after the M6 junction. We'll be there for 6.30 and will leave at 6.45 latest so we can get to pub in time for 7. See you all there!!

cars ready so ill be coming  

Cheers guys, twas a good 'un


And thanks to everyone who gave me a push! :mrgreen:  

Yep, was alright again, nice to see a number of new faces and good to see joelgti and Fordyx's fresh-from-renovation cars out for the first time too! Well done to Dano for taking us on a cruise with the lowest cars doing the bumpiest road in the world, even I felt the bumps and mine was the highest suspension there probably (non-GTI, etc)!!!!!

Anyway, given that Gaydon is a little more than 2 weeks away, maybe we can 'say' that the NW guys meeting up at the National show is unofficially NWM13, meaning we can skip the unlucky number and go for NWM14 at the end of August?

Official photo shows 7 Golfs and a Caddy. When we went to Southport, we caught up with 1 more Golf, but didn't rearrange all the cars again to get the pic with 9 cars in it…

Sorry guys.. I really didn't think about lowered suspension whith I was driving the arm chair!!

… and again

Sorry for taking everyone on a guided tour of the matalan loading bay and bins!!  ops:  You always come across cops when you don't want to see them!!

Has phataz got the fastest 1300 in the world? Not sure if its the cordial bottle oil cooler or the ingenious air filterless carb, or even the weight saving starterless engine….But my goodness….Blink and he's gone in a little chuff of smoke!  8O

Have to agree, Araun's little 1300 left my clipper standing, although at nearly 1/2 tonne lighter and no tempremental immobiliser causing lots of hassle it's not surprising ops:

Thanks for the beer Araun  

Hopefully will make it to gaydon, electrics allowing

Yeah I think its your ignition switch mate, it should be no hassles to hot wire it, although obviously we'd better not say exactly how-to, on here!

Fast

But that was with a slipping clutch! 8O

Maybe the blue smoke firing exhaust acts as an afterburner   Or maybe the lack of oil in the engine saving the pounds

But yeah cheers guys and will have a check on my ignition switch although it is less than 6 months old

Sorry for not making it this time, was down in London with work most of the week, only got back this am.

Cheers for the text Lee, sorry didn't reply but forgot to take my phone charger to london and the battery died, doh!

will try and make gaydon but i'm also planning to go to 'gathering off the hill' ( Gathering on the hill but new venue in Preston, hill now optional!) at the end of August, think its the bank holiday weekend, run by volkswigan club if anyone else fancies it.

Even I can do that, let's face it!  :wink:

it was nice meeting you all last week, good trip out apart from the roads which seem to have been forgotton about as part of my road tax cost. At least I bought some of it home on my sump and exhaust :-)

phataz thats one fast little engine  8O

She's up and running, freshly MOT'd. Just wondering when the next meet will be? Any plans as yet?
Thanks
Damon
