300-series national event

Post by foggyjames » 31 Jan 2009 01:01 am

What dya think...one big date, late in the summer...the uber meet? Try to get as many people and cars together as we can?

A tourist attraction somewhere in the midlands (I'm tempted by something like the tramway museum at Crich) then a drive to a pub where we settle in for the evening?

cheers

If we settle into a pub for the evening it'll have to have beds, or I'll have to drive 4 million miles home drunk. Would be nice to have a big deal of a meet though, surely we could string 20+ cars together if people made the effort.

We could camp it up. The Taunton meet was epic.

Trouble is...where to find a campsite which will put up with a load of car fans...one of which is John :lol: I've seen what he did at Gaydon :lol:

Give me a car, some wet gravel, and no supervision, what did they think was going to happen?!

Aye a mk1 in actual fact, but Sven's point is that it lacks the massive mk3 bumpers he hates. I do indeed remember that the 'embroyage' is 'non marche' or some such franglais malarkey. I'll come to your house and fix the clutch if you buy it. I'll need 8 gallons of beer (biere francais est bon si necessaire) and access to local women.

OMG


From checking my french with google I've noticed that the trois-quatre-trois in the pic is both:

non marche

AND

bon marché
