VOC / V3M at The Motorist - 2nd April 2023

Post by foggyjames » 23 Mar 2023 02:09 am

After the success of our trip to The Motorist in 2022...I've arranged another! Sorry about the (very) short notice - life has got in the way! It was in the last VOC magazine, so hopefully a few folk will come from there. It'd be good to see as many of you as possible, in spite of the lack of notice.

There will be loads of interesting cars there, and the cafe will be open to serve breakfast/brunch/lunch.

We got pretty lucky last time with being able to park up together, but that might well not work out again this time, so my suggestion would be that we meet nearby at Lancaster Close (LS25 6NS) at 10am, and head down the road at 10:15 in convoy, so that we can get parked up together.

Hopefully see a few of you there!

cheers

Hi Jon,

No worries - I wouldn't expect such a long-distance trek!

Date is in the topic subject - Sunday 2nd April. I'm very late publicising it...

cheers

Hello Mr Helldriver. Did you ever go in the end. I remember you kindly offered to help get the blue 1.7 4-door from Hull about 10 years ago. Car still going strong. Was trying to upgrade the seats, but think maybe will hold-off on that and just get it moving again. Lots of clean-air issues round here but I haven't forgotten the car work. Seeing lots of Piers Corbyn. He's a good lad.
