Re: Are we all going to meet up again this year?

Hi John

Well if you are willing to put down a tenner, then I do realise you are mustard keen!!

I'd love if you could come, it's been a few years since the last session. What we need to do here is offer the dates to all who came last event and see what may suit them. It should be a fun weekend.

Joe

Re: Are we all going to meet up again this year?

So if we say we will meet this year at Cosford again we need to first of all see which dates suit. I think my work commitments will mean I'm probbably going to be up in Faslane for July and would have to fly back to Portsmouth get my car then drive back home after the meet then fly back to Scotland which will be a bit of a pain as the guys working with me will see me going home and them not and I could have a mutiny on my hands plus it will cost me a bob or two whereas I could be clear by September

Re: Are we all going to meet up again this year?

September suits me better too.

I'm not sure why John prefers July, and I have not yet spoken to Steve on what he would prefer.

We should just make a proposal, offer the dates, contact everybody from last year, plus a few other regulars who have been at previous shows, and whatever date the most of them can travel, that will be the set SVX weekend, and we would need to contact the Breakfast Club to confirm places.

Simple.

Joe

Eh up Joe!

You've been watching to many compare the market adds

July for me is:,.....long nights and hopefully decent weather, I could be off on me hols in September as most of my staff are on there hols in July, which means I can grab any weekend in July.

But I agree with what you say, the majority rule is fine by me and I will work arround it.

So, July it is then

Simples

John

ps, my turn for the Malt....

Re: Are we all going to meet up again this year?

Can I vote for the September option? I work every weekend so it would be a pain arranging cover twice in July (bike trip).
Having said I work weekends it's been pretty lonely of late - would someone please buy a new Yamaha off me?
I'm not depressed but even the Samaritans have blocked my phone number.

And, Dave, thank you for your kind words but it's not so much her name you need to remember as a Schrader valve adaptor. And a nitrogen cylinder would be a good idea then she won't get bigger when hot. Learn from my mistakes.

Re: Are we all going to meet up again this year?

I was just wondering if a few of us were to stay at the Hotel couldn't we arrange for them to provide a light buffet (cucumber sandwiches etc) so we can gather Saturday afternoon there.

Nitrogen?

I can't argue with the Schrader valve adapto Stever. Works a treat. But you should have gone for helium filled one.

They're more of a giggle.

Re: Are we all going to meet up again this year?

Its getting near to the time that we originally thought for a meeting is this possible? Perhaps we could co-ordinate it with a Pistonheads meet at Cosford as per last time. It would be nice for us all to meet up again if possible.

This European forum is like the Marie Celeste at times, is there anyone out there?

Perhaps people are out there and just don't want to talk to me or am I paranoid?

Re: Are we all going to meet up again this year?

No you're not paranoid, this forum does run a little bit hot n cold or is it down to the present climate of everyone been skint, therefore lack of interest/motivation?

To answer the question it will be a NO on this occasion for me, only due to the fact I'm receiving chemotherapy and only half way through it, hence the reason why I was up for a July meet.

I've been running my SVX summer this summer and enjoyed every minute, I've put new front disc's on (Brembo) and original Japanese pads and it's so smooooth now. A good run to Cosford would be great not to mention the overnight in the hotel which I'm always up for!

If your gathering goes ahead well have a good one, if not, as Vera said .... we'll meet again?

John

Re: Are we all going to meet up again this year?

Wow I'm not alone out here, sorry to hear of your situation and wish you well.
I guess having the upgraded front brakes helps it to stop now.
I guess people are skint as well, but then for those of us old enough to remember its a typical Tory government scenario high unemployment, riots, war the only thing missing is mortgage interest rates at 17% still give it time.

Re: Are we all going to meet up again this year?

Not so far Arthur, I went to Goodwood on Friday superb sound form the cars on track and wonderful cars all round the place. Bad points £6.80 for a cheeseburger, £2.50 for a 50p tub of ice cream, £3.00 for a very ordinary coffee. Still don't like the 'us and them' theme that prevails well i suppose it is run by Lord March.

Re: Are we all going to meet up again this year?

It is not lack of interest or motivation with me, it is lack of time.

Apologies I can't come over this year; I'm in a new job and my time is mopped up. It is a seasonal business [gas supply and insulation] and unfortunately September is now a busy month for me. At one time it was a "free" month, but no longer.

If something is put in place, please post it up. For certain I can't bring a car over, but I might fly over if I get a bit of notice.

Joe
