Hi Gritty, I usually blag a place on the pit-wall at some point for this meet.

I'll keep an eye out for the lens which resembles a bucket, you'll probably be behind it

As usual Croft are not the best at advertising their events. No info on start times available on their web-site??

As it's a Monday the practice runs should be on the morning, with the timed laps starting at about 1pm.

I'm in negotiations with our lass for a full day pass.

Haven't replied on this for a while. sorry guys!

I am still keen for a meet, however my car hasn't been on the road at weekends lately (been working on it). New wheels and exhaust fitted still have polybushes and coilovers to fit, then geometry set up. So probably a few weeks from being out for a weekend but will post again once the car is roadworthy again.

May as well take this opportunity to gauge interest on a Sunday night meet? say the end of May? As far as location is concerned a few people seemed to favour Teeside park but I am quite open to location, preferably within a 30 mile radius of Newcastle.

Should be realistic as long as the polybushing doesn't prove too much! all I can do is keep people posted.

Regards,

Liam

Hi Bud,
Hope the re-bushing goes well. Sounds like you'll have a great 'S' when you're done.

Regarding the Sunday night meet....We are away most of May, but Sunday June 1st sounds good
(and that'll give you an extra week to finish the jobs)

regards

yeah its coming together started with the easy jobs i.e. fluid changes and new discs/pads all round (rears possibly didn't need doing but thought whilst I was on may as well do them). I then decided I wanted a set of 'summer wheels' (went for 18" buddy club p1s) since I had already put winter tyres on my OEM wheels, thankfully didnt need them so much this year. New exhaust followed (custom single exit from A.A.S) just because wanted car to sound a bit more aggressive. I think its fair to say I then caught the 'modding bug' because thought with new wheels it needs 'lows' but may as well do bushes and I will 'need' geometry doing after this. Sigh! (what have I got myself into).

Who knows what is next? possibly some form of induction kit/velocity stack. Its never ending! haha

Anyway, I have rabbited on enough probably bored you to sleep, back to the main topic. Yeah June 1st sounds prime, hopefully better weather by then as well and should have jobs done by then.

Will be good to see what sort of turn out we get Any preference on location?

How about 'The Talpore' at the Tees Barrage for a meeting place.

Plenty of parking and an area to sit outside as the weather will be scorching by June.

I might be up for this. Just checked on Google maps and it's only 58mins from Rufforth :-)

Like it's going to take me as long as that... !

So a few people seem to have settled on Sunday 1st June.

Now to just firm up location. What are peoples preferences, I would prefer Team Valley or Tesside Park as are more local for me (coming from Newcastle) but would be willing to travel if we get sufficient numbers.

Cheers!
