Is there any chance of a midlands meet being organized say around February and who would be interested in attending it, reason i ask is ill attend anything i feasibly can, and wouldnt mind meting some more of the members of rtoc, but so far most things seem to be happening a million miles away.
I'd be up for this, area reps wana try and sort something out? If not I'll think of some ideas for a meet if people give interest...feb is good for me.
Ye maybe me.
From experience, meets in winter are not great but if its organised well and people DO turn up when they say they will.
i think with uk weather now days there isnt much diffrence between the winter and summer climate though.
winter = good for charge temps lol ;)
who is are area rep?:scared:
no idea.. minty ftw haha
ye would be great guys i am defently up for it just let us know were and when.
im game last time i didnt mkae it as the car wouldnt move but now shes fine so aslong as im not working im there
could be up for this
We need to sort out a date then now and a place to meet...any suggestions?
ye defenetly i dont mind when its just were?!
tbh i think start of feb, ok the weather isnt the best , but its pre show's etc then, most people should have nothing better to do other than come for a giggle n a chat.
ye i am up for that where abouts is roughly central to all of us midlands is a big place ?
Well i am around the burton/derby/donnington area.
i am in wolverhampton so cannock stafford bham telford walsall up to you guys:)
i think cannock would be quite nice if there is a pub somewhere.

I think Cannok would be a good location. or perhaps Tamworth Services??
Im Keen and would hope i can afford the Tax on my car by then.
PS hijack my TAX ran out on Jan 1st, how long do i Get b4 i have to Sorn it?
just sorn it online anyway. Last meet was at derby but alex was there :S, wasnt exactly a outstanding meet, but hey i met bric.
ye theres a few nice pubs in cannock to be honsest were we can get a bite 2 eat e.t.c or like kenobi said tamworth services il let you guys decide:)

and donnington is good for me, but do you know of any pubs down that way ?
whoop whoop! i was the area rep on the old site before it went tits up, but i dont actually know whats happening on the updated site
yep last meet was at harvester pride park/derby but the turn out wasnt great lol! but before this meet there was one a few months back at toby carvery/cannock which a few others turned up for
and kenobi i didnt forget about turning up for that meet, i posted the day before saying i cant make it! :laugh:
but anyways im game for this meet, time to get the old girl back on the rd :agree:
ye sounds good to me 1st of fed which is a sunday just need to no what time and a location cheers guys
Yep 1st of feb im game for that. Seeing as though there was a good turn out in cannock last time, maybe we should do the same again? I don't know where you lot went last time (pub) but if someone knows we could go there again?
sweet so feb the 1st, what location.
i ain too bothered but donnington is a lil further for me and sphinx but its up 2 u lot
1st of feb and donny then???
im up for that, rhys u can jump in my car if you want unless ur gonna go with ryan.
im all good with that, just name the pub and drop down the postcode :) i think my friend may come, hes not got a 5, but hes got a 182 so still sporting the Renault badge.
i aint fussed with any location, but the cannock toby carvery was rather nice, massive yorkshire puddings and juicy meat! nice car park too lol!
i may be coming in my pulsar tho as im putting it through its mot this weekend or early next week
the 5 will be putting through its mot toward the end of the month so its a hit and miss with that one, only done about 200 mile since its last mot aswell :laugh:
cadwell park ahave got a track day on on the 25th Jan. you could meet there... do some track time too..... :crap:
l let you no dan will prob jump in with you and ryan either way unless one of my m8s come we just need to decide were now ladS?
so were we off ill come :confused: lmao tell me the destination and ill be thair gotta use my car sum time
Come on...Is somebody going to lead with this??:o:rolleyes: :coffee::coffee:
come on deej chop chop! :wasntme:
problem being, im really not sure of any pubs in the donnington area :S only thing i ever go donnington for is the racetrack or the market.. Do you know of any alex ?
lets just have a meet at the toby carvery at cannock, nice and central, not too far for us to go and not to far for the brummies to go, food is spot on aswell
cant lose! dont matter if noone else wants to show, more food for us :cooter:
...and I thought girls were indecisive! :laugh:
sorted then, any chance of a time and postcode man. Ill be in the pug so cant miss me :)
ye sound cannock it is then its central to most of us
this isnt my meet tho so really deej should make the decision on where this meet is
but anyway the postcode for the toby in cannock is WS11 9ND
sweet, cannock toby carvery it is :), certainly not my meet man, i just mentioned it, hope numbers turn out good :)
was looking forward to this but thats to far for me especially with my fuel gauge issue and not knowing if the glass is half empty or half full plus im on limited millage on my insurance and that trip would take a huge amount up
sorry guys im out :)
im more concerned about the quantity of the food to be honest, fook the other membersQuote:

New poster! (less than 10 posts)
got r25 last week getting the oil ,filters do will be coming
:cool: Change of plan ,going NEC on Tuesday now, so I'm in the GTA again .We can compare lumps ......
Is that 8 so far???
remember the RTOC 30%- 50% rule....
when the weather gets better ill organise a meet at the local classic car meet (on a sunday once a month starting at 11am). previously Metropower club has turned up. so if you get bored of looking at renaults, there are all sorts of interesting stuff to nose at.
Bloke over the road with a 944 goes to a monthly Spring/Summer car meet round here somewhere .It's an evening midweek thing I think .
after april, the car meet here changes to tuesday evenings.
Where can I get snow chains from ??
Sounds good:agree:Quote:
