An Actual UK Meet

Post by foggyjames » 31 May 2004 06:20 pm

Hi Guys,

I suggest we make our meet part of the second turbobricks meet, which in turn is taking place at the Volvo Owners Club national show.

Here's the TBricks thread...

I'm in Devon for most of August...so I figure I'll meet both of you!

Whereabouts are you staying Chris?

Torbay....so not a million miles away, but not just round the corner either! I'll probably be visiting Exmouth at some point then, so maybe I can take a small detour... ;)

I am definately going to organise a meet after October when I pass my test with flying colours (fingers crossed) and get the car MOT'd, insured and taxed.

My car will steal the show! ;)

Your car is already a star here when you look to the central page of the forum, with all the red 300's :wink:

sorry James, had a real lack of internet in Devon, thought I'd be able to PM you from there. Right, just because of this now, I reckon an official meet should occur, with enough for warning that lots of people can make it.

Early November? if enough are free I'll start a new topic, and we can fight out a location
