Hi all, Right, we need to have 1 more meet up in the NW before the end of the year - so hows about New Years Eve. My suggestion is the same MFN  as last time (but I'm open to suggestions - Skodastop, do you know if there is anything going on at 3 Sisters?) So, Sunday 31st Saturday 30th December at : The Thatch and ThistleIt's on the A6, north of junction 6 (Horwich) of the M61, and the other side of Wigan to the M6. Lovely thatched pub, Pete (the owner) is well into his Rovers - there's usually his P5 and SD1 in the large car park. Decent grub reasonably priced, and excellent real ale - try the Bank Top! There's also a lot of nice windy hilly country lanes just to the north if we fancy a ride out Postcode is BL6 5LA, phone is 01257 474044 if you're interested. *edited to correct link  Shall we say 11:30 for 12:00 as per last time Post here if you're coming. I'll put my mobile number up nearer the time so that you can call if you're running late Matt |

Great work as ever Matt.
The show of hands is looking worrying, I can and will make it, however if people are struggling maybe it could be moved back a day or two depending on plans...

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

I don't really want to drive for 50mls for nothing (altho its any excuse to drive it ;D) Hiya mk14dr... erm... there'll be a list of people on this thread hopefully, but I can tell you now that I'm trying to get a few VW people I know to pop along and a very close friend who might have his Subaru Impreza P1 ready (but like cars generally). Worst case scenario, it'll just be me ;D (click the link above to see the photos from last time) I won't be coming I'm afraid, I'll be away for New Year Darren, no worries, I'm sure we'll catch up in the new year - hope you are spotting whilst away... stick me down,i should have the retard damage repaired soon.only me tho' mrs 998imp is working aaaahhhhhh Andy, it'd be great to see you again - bring some of your imp club mates along again, some desireable machinery there! |

Would it help if the meet was notched forward a day, or few? there does not seem to be as much interest in this one.  At the moment i can do any day next week but may be busy for one of em. So what if it was the 30th for example? Just testing the water Matt |

Cheers
Chris
