South West Autoshite Meet - 19th September 2015

[phil_lihp]

As mentioned on the Lazy Spotters thread, people in Scotland/N England get way too much excitement and we need to get in on the action.  Brookjm and Mr Livered already expressed approval so who else fancies a westcountry get together in the new year?  

 

Personally I like Mr Livered's suggestion of location at a decent pub on the A30 betwixt Okehampton & Exeter.  What say you?

 

 

 

One issue is we simply don't have enough volvos between us! 

 

We can do better, we have between us a delightful selection of Renaults and Rovers.

[philibusmo]

I'm up for it and the location seems about as central in the SW as possible. Lets get a place and time sorted and I'll see you there.

[holbeck]

Yeah, count me in.

[phil_lihp]

Excellent, any suggestions on dates/times?  Weekends or Mon/Fri evenings work best for me.

[panhard65]

Count me in a nice selection of french shite at the moment. That might be a bit far for the R2087 at the moment but the Hotchkiss is back up and running after a bit of surgery

[twosmoke300]

I'm up for the trip up from cornwall

[HMC]

Great, count me in too!

[Negative Creep]

Possibly, depends on work

[wackywacerwill]

This isn't that far from where my folks are moving too so if I can tie it in or fancy a 10 hour drive for shits and giggles then I may well attend.

[STUNO]

Count me in too! But it depends on when not where !

[twosmoke300]

I'm traveling from Cornwall to Dorset today so will keep my eyes open for suitable venues

[Mr Livered]

Well my village is near a place called Cheriton Bishop on the A30 (I'll give the name of the actual village if there's interest in meeting here). There's a good pub and a village square with plenty of parking. Happy to host a meet or go down to the beach/up on the moor/whatever.

[carlo]

Sounds good to me!

[Mr Livered]

Thinking about it, how about meeting up (here or elsewhere), having a brew and a chinwag, then a shite convoy through some local beauty spot with photo opportunities. Then maybe a beer and a curry or whatever in the pub.

 

That represents something close to an ideal day to me. The only thing that would make it better is a shag at the end, but something tells me we wouldn't fancy each other so the above itinerary is the best I can do.

[HMC]

Food, cars, a beer. Perfect!

[twosmoke300]

well seeing as I had a job to see enough to stay on the road today I didnt really have an inspiration for a venue .

 

Never seen rain like it in the uk. Hours and hours of it. Glad I took the saab today , good lights , heater and rock solid stable in the water and wind.

[ChinaTom]

I'm in Dunchideock for most of 2014, and this gives me a good excuse to get the Jag started and down to Devon. Will try and fit a new gearbox inhibitor this week to see if that solves the problem

What a great idea, definitely up for most of it apart from your last request.  No offence but you're not really my type.  When do we think would be a good date for this?

Came back from Exeter last night on the A377 - never seen so much water, absolutely horrible weather but quite entertaining apart from the pillock in an LDV pickup tailgating me, swerving around and flashing his lights to make me move out of the way (I slowed down ever more) in pitch black darkness with partially flooded roads. 

[STUNO]

bump !

[phil_lihp]

Just a little bump for this one, if interested parties can suggest some dates that would help get the ball rolling!

[Mr Livered]

I'm waiting for Mrs Livered to sort out her shifts for January (when she's not at work I have childcare and thus can go out to play).

[panhard65]

I am available pretty much anytime but the hotchkiss is off the road for a couple of weeks having a new dashboard made

[stilo_active]

Sounds good, depending on the 205's MoT in the next week or so. I'm also dependant on 'Er Indoors sorting her work shifts out

[twosmoke300]

Mr stilo, is it you that's down in the Camborne area?

[stilo_active]

Yes I am indeed. Tolvaddon area.

[twosmoke300]

Coolio I'm in Camborne nr the fire station

[stilo_active]

Up Weeth?

[twosmoke300]

Yarp.

[Skizzer]

Up Weeth?

 

 

Yarp.

 

 

Is this a conversation in some kind of west country dialect that the rest of us don't understand?
