Could do...although I still fancy a ride on the WHR ;)

25th or 26th...who's game? If it's any later, I won't have the 343 with me...

cheers

Mmm I miss a good trip and meet in UK! It's long long time ago when I came to Hugh's house for the green-360-meet! What do you think to organise? The red GLT is 'dead' for the moment, maybe I could come with another GLT... Or with the C70, but it's not a 300 :( :( And LPG won't be possible in the Eurotunnel! :roll: I'll see, I'm waiting for more details about the program (and the weather!)

Off topic, but that is so stupid. You cant take an LPG converted car that is fitted with loads of safety features on the LPG system yet you can take a camper with LPG tanks that only have a manual shut off valve!!

I do know a few ppl who have fitted there LPG filler in hidden place so they can get past without being noticed.

26th it is?

I'm thinking the WHR / North Wales is maybe a bit far, especially with this short notice. How do we feel about something more Midlands based...perhaps Crich tramway museum, or the Midland railway centre at Butterley? I'm thinking that'll be better for the people who've said they'd like to attend so far. We could head into the peak district when we're done at 'the attraction' (whatever we choose) if we fancy a more interesting drive...?

Aymat...I think this particular meet is going to be fairly small-scale, and probably not worth the journey. However, we'll have to meet up soon, and I have a seriously epic meet planned for this time next year. Watch this space...

cheers

I am still into it as I am in Leeds Sat evening and could make these latest locations and there's the A6 for a drive for us Big decision for last minute arrangement which one - Crich is tidy and quite small and easy with quite a few Volvo meets been there too -perhaps the drive is more important as it was in Wales and the pub will do

I think we're rapidly running out of time for this weekend, but if I'm heading in the direction of Nottingham/Derby, I'd be happy to meet up on Sunday, Mick.

Anyone else about? I think we're so close to the date now that a proper 'meet' is looking unlikely.

Who would be up for a mini-meet this weekend...meet near the M1, drive into the peaks, and stop for some lunch...or something like that?

Me
Mick
Rupert?
SteveP?

Anyone else? I know you've mentioned an interest, Dai, but it's a long way to come for a pub trip! sm56 Up to you, of course...

cheers
