I'll not be in the area then...it'd have to be earlier for me. I'll probably not be in a 300....although....I think the 343 will still have MOT...hmm!

cheers

The earliest I could manage is Sunday 23rd. A day before Christmas Eve, doubt whether many can make it then :?

Never mind, next time :-)

Yeah... I would... but I love the peaks...

I can't do between xmas and new year, my Cos is getting married then. I can't do the first two weekends either (1/2 and 8/9?) 15/16 would be perfect for me tbh, but depends on the others!

Hello Peeps,

Long time no post. I'd love to attend a meet in the Peaks at Christmas time, although there's a possibility that we'll be in France.

AHEM MR Farrell take 100 lines ,

I will not slag off French fwd tat especially when a moderator of this very forum owns a piece of said French fwd Tat
( albeit a very fast piece of french fwd tat that eats 300's for breakfast :lol: )

I honestly dont know Dave ,

I have volunteered to resign my post on numerous occaisions but no one has taken me up on it ,

I do still visit regularly and even post now and again when I feel the need .

I still tell all 300 owners I meet about the forum and regularly talk to Pete , Chris ,Carl , Will and Josh on msn and pml Gavin and Mac now and again

its amazing that over a year on from selling the 300 I am still the second highest poster here ,

( nothing to do with my belief that all new members should receive a hearty welcome upon joining :oops: )

I think part of it is the fact that this is far more than a forum for volvo 300 owners but a place where friendships are made and kept

Right... back on topic... we have a potential location of somewhere in the peak district and some time in December.....

What do people think on dates... and does anyone know of a good eatery/meeting place in the area

EDIT: also, what do people fancy doing? I've just come across this, looks quite interesting: http://www.poolescavern.co.uk/

LOL, Mick, by French tat, I meant the newer, elephant grey plastic dash ridden French FWD tat, a BX cannot be put in that category, anyway the 300 and the BX have relating history!

Yeah looks good Steve, always good to have something as a main point of interest to base the day around.
