#1: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:17 pm ---- After not being able to attend fcs I'm looking to organise a meet or a camping overnight meet, main reason is to have a laugh but to also meet some members on here, I'm in Nuneaton near Coventry and don't mind travelling 45mins-1hr if someone knows a decent place to camp etc, billing aquadome in Northampton isnt too far a drive and not a bad place to camp but if someone knows anywhere better/closer I'm all ears, just a yay or nay to who would be interested in this, cheers
#2: Re: West midlands meet Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:19 pm ---- I'm in providing I can get it off work. Not familar with any places especially but try and make it pretty central of the west mids if you can, so it would be a closer drive for all.
#3: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:21 pm ---- Yeah that's my plan Harry, as central as possible for everyone, I was thinking camping, BBQ some beers and car chat and cleaning sounds like a good night to me lol
#4: Re: West midlands meet Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:23 pm ---- That's my kind of thing
Oh and good weather of course...
#5: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:24 pm ---- I can't guarantee the good weather but here's hoping mate
#6: Re: West midlands meet Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:39 pm ---- Can you not make the summer camp meet? Most of the regular member's will be there.
#7: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:40 pm ---- When's that mate?
#8: Re: West midlands meet Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:41 pm ---- www.206info.co.uk/Foru...ummer.html
All the info is here.
#9: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:42 pm ---- Cheers I'll have a ganders now
#10: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:47 pm ---- I can't make the date they've organised for because I'm working!!! I could have done the weekend before, gutted
#11: Re: West midlands meet Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:49 pm ---- If camping doesn't get enough interest a meet would still be good, hasn't been a west mid meet since new year
#12: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:51 pm ---- I agree Harry, I think a camping meet so close to the info summer meet isn't the best idea, a meet would still be good though, coming to a mcdonalds near you haha
#13: Re: West midlands meet Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:52 pm ---- I had to swap a few shift's to attend but it will be worth it. But saying that I'm only half hour away so don't have to travel far.
#14: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:54 pm ---- It's not too far from me, takes me 40 mins to get to my work in derby, gutted I'm working, i can't swap shifts where I work!
#15: Re: West midlands meet Author: pinxton_boy, Location: pinxton, nottsPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:55 pm ---- nuneaton/coventry is about 50 miles for me. if you do the meet somewhere not much further i'd be up for it. im in the mode of saving up to do the 180 up, so i wanna turn up to as many meets as possible for the next few months to see others peoples cars and get plenty of ideas before i start.
#16: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 3:58 pm ---- Haha pinxton boy can't u get enough ideas off here without flesh stealing ideas aswell
I'm not doing much to mine at the mum, I'm gonna paint the calipers Monday, trying to source some sp parts, then that's me pretty much done without getting in trouble with the other half, but I can't see it being too far from Nuneaton/Coventry you never know it might be slightly closer to you
#17: Re: West midlands meet Author: pinxton_boy, Location: pinxton, nottsPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 4:10 pm ---- yep i'm just an idea thief! i've never attempted moddin a car so i need all the info i can get. i think seeing the cars in person & gettin to know the people that have put all the time and effort into them will help me out a bit.
#18: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 4:12 pm ---- Yeah I agree, the thing is seeing someone else's mods gives you similiar ideas and maybe even a few of your own along the way, which is always a good thing
#19: Re: West midlands meet Author: L5_UKS, Location: West MidlandsPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 4:41 pm ---- Id be up for this will be good putting a face to some names
#20: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 4:43 pm ---- That's 4 of us then at least
#21: Re: West midlands meet Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 5:14 pm ---- Not promising anything as I'm busy busy busy most of the time now. Poke me if I don't reply after a date/location has been decided upon!
#22: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 5:19 pm ---- Will do seb, and congrats on the working for a formula 3 team u lucky sod lol
#23: Re: West midlands meet Author: deebee, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:31 pm ---- Hey guys, I have a 206 myself but work for starcity, We had the west midz impreza club down tonight they came about 70 of them and they now class us as there home, they meet at starcity everytime before they head of to pubs, places ect. So why dont you come to us?
#24: Re: West midlands meet Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:18 pm ---- star city is a good idea i'd be game for that
#25: Re: West midlands meet Author: arronmee1990, Location: Broughton AstleyPosted: Sun Jun 26, 2011 1:42 am ---- Don't they have silly big speed bumps at star city?
Could meet at the Ricoh Arena?
#26: Re: West midlands meet Author: furryhobnob, Location: NuneatonPosted: Sun Jun 26, 2011 3:09 am ---- Yeah starcity isn't a bad idea, neither is the ricoh, probably more to do at starcity though
#27: Re: West midlands meet Author: JordGJ, Location: Leeds / West MidlandsPosted: Sun Jun 26, 2011 7:16 am ----

oh not sure actually, didn't think of that, if they do i can''t attend, not in my car anyway
#28: Re: West midlands meet Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Sun Jun 26, 2011 9:48 am ---- Yeah they do have speed bumps, I couldn't get over them without damaging the car. Good when it's empty in the morning though you can go round them
#29: Re: West midlands meet Author: DJ-, Location: UKPosted: Sun Jun 26, 2011 10:46 am ---- ricoh would be boring! Bowling, pool, laser quest, pizza hut and burger king are all on the next m6 junction after the ricoh which would probably be better imo!

Its an expensive s**te hole.
Another 2 things not in its favour:
1) Its right near the land pirate camp
2) Its also in smelling distance of the sewage works.

Agreed
Wicksteeds is a little bit better, bit less to park too but still pricey
