Third Site Meet!!

[Adam]

Time for the third meet and we're heading more North this time.

I'm looking at the Gaydon Heritage Museum on Saturday 27th October!

http://www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk/sectionpages/museum_index.html

Anyone that's interested please pop your name down on here and I'll get in touch with Gaydon to see whether I can arrange any discounts, etc.

After touring the museum we will probably go to a nearby pub for food, etc!

Let me know what you guys think and if there is anything else you wnat planned for that day? :jacko:

Would like to though!

[Jon_A]

Wish I could, but a bit of a long way for me.

[Adam]

Go on Jon, you know you want to.....

[Jon_A]

cars rolled over to 50,000 miles now. Quite sad really. lol

[Adam]

A couple more wont hurt it then ;)

[dazbrm]

Sorry Adam I got work on the 27th so wont be able to make it. Bloody pain in bum really cos the following week I'm off so could have made it.

Ah well hopefully next time

[rovamota]

Well I'm aiming to be there.

Kev.

[Adam]

Group Tour form arrived today from Gaydon so sending that off!

Does anyone want a guided tour?
Does anyone fancy go-karting?

Let me know if you do :thumbsup:

[Dom]

hmm... to both!

details?

[Adam]

Sorry for no reply sooner. I've sent the forms off today, I opted out of the guided tour so that people can venture round on their own. The go-karts will be open on the day at their track at the museum, I dont have any further details on this i'm afraid.

As for numbers so far the list stands as this....

Adam
Spankyban - Dan
Dom
Stuart (not on site)
rickybrm - Ricky
rovamota - Kev
Pete (not on site)

Possibly
The Youngsta - James
Phil (not on site)

[spankyban]

Ha ha - the go karts are quite fun! - a tour is worth doing if you have never been there before. I some knowledge of the site being a JLR employee.

There appears to be a rumour floating around that there could be some time on test track available.. i would just like to say.. no no no no no way on this earth so please dont come expecting a track jolly 'on the off chance'. To reiterate the track is owned by Ford and there is extensive testing for Jag and LR along with Aston still on going (as i have to do some of it). Still if the weather holds out it should be a laugh.

Adam i assume i'm closest to Gaydon (Coventry) if you need any help etc in the closing days drop me an email danbank81@googlemail.com.

Thanks

Dan

[Adam]

Cheers Dan, thanks for all that info I'm sure i'll give you a bell closer to the time.

I was told the same about the track so that's a definite nono i'm afraid. Never mind, if people want track time so much I'm sure I can sort something for the next meet :D

[Nightfire]

Any room for a little silver ZR?

[The Express Valeter]

I believe theTripple M club have got a meet at Gaydon on the Sunday (Metro, Maestro, Montego).

[Adam]

That'd be good, but wouldn't want to show them up with our lovely BRM's so the saturday it is :D

[Dom]

I don't want to catch any rust ;)

[Adam]

I don't want to catch any rust ;)

Just turn up on the Saturday then :rofl:

[Nightfire]

The number of MG Metros I have chopped for engines means I am probably on some MMM hit list.

Yes Mine lol. I have an MG Metro. As with all MG/Rover/Austin they are all from our favourite car maker & need to be saved/preserved.

[Nightfire]

If it wasn't for people like me MG Metros would be common as muck.

Oh, that's not true, tin worm would still have taken it's toll ;-)

P

[Nightfire]

Without sarificing a few MG Metro's I would never have managed to build this:

And handily, if we are coming back to Warwick I won't have far to go to get home. I only live about 200 yards from the Castle. I was wondering where you wanted to park up?

[Adam]

I've not been there myself, but will be on the phone to them tomorrow to see if we can pick a suitably picturesque spot :D

Might be tricky, there is nowhere public you can park where you could get the castle in the background. I think the best place might be Myton Fields or at the castle gates (which are where you multimap link points.)

The only way you might get a picture with the cars and the castle might be going over the bridge in convoy. You lot drive, i'll take the picture!

Still waiting to hear back from them about doing a photoshoot at the castle :( If they dont get back to me by tomorrow then i'll see if I can sort an alternative location :D

Well you will be at the perfect location.

How about recreating this

[rovamota]

I only intend to go meet at the museum. I have to go into Didcot on the way back. I've heard the weather isn't going to be that great either.

Kev.

[Adam]

Have faith Kev, I'm sure it'll be ok and the rain will hold off!

People are more than welcome to come to as little or as much of the meet as they like :D

Nightfire that's an interesting idea, would have to try and source the other BRM though, doh :slap:

It used to be in the building behind but may have been sold after MGR went under.

[rovamota]

No, the BRM gas turbine is still there.

Kev.

[Nightfire]

The question is which one. The T3 is still there, as is JET 1 but they don't mention the Le Man BRM Rover.

[rovamota]

So does it look like we've got 12 BRM's on the day?

Kev.

[Nightfire]

Assuming everybody but me has one, yes.

[Adam]

So does it look like we've got 12 BRM's on the day?

Kev.

Well 11, so hopefully everyone will turn up as it'd be the most we've had for a meet!

[Adam]

Weathers not looking too bad, could be better but fingers crossed the rain will hold off :D

[spankyban]

Adam,

If you want to give me call on the morning - ********* if anything changes.

I assume most will be in Convoy from N/S M40?

I'll be doing the back roads on the way in..

Are we in the Hertitage Centre car park (gravel by the karts) OR right out front of the Heritage?

Dan

[Adam]

Will do mate, nothing should change now though :D

I'm coming with Phil from down South up the M40 we're meeting at Junction 9, Cherwell Valley Services first.

p.s. I removed your phone number, never know who's about on the net nowadays ;)

[Adam]

Rightio, I probably wont be on here again after tonight as I'm going out for chinese soon to fill my face full of yummy noodles and pork!

[Jon_A]

I won't be able to make it this time, but will try next time as this sounded good. I've got to help a mate collect their new car (Seat Leon Cupra R:fun:) tomorrow.

[tommyk]

[Nightfire]

The missing 11th!
