AS in the Community: scrapyard raid

[chaseracer]

Mr. Bay (of Tamworth) is heading off to the big scrappie near Derby on Saturday morning - anyone else care to join in?  Bacon will probably be involved somewhere.

 

Details TBC.

[Junkman]

Sounds like a plan already.

[Tamworthbay]

Plan to be at Albert Looms at 1pm if that fits with everyone else.

[Pillock]

Awwwww damnit! I'm doing archery stuff with the scouts I think. That sounded like an awesome day out too

 

BTW "Heading off to the big scrappy" sounds like an Autoshiter has died.

[ruffgeezer]

Balls, I've got to take the bairns swimming or I'd be tempted to take the trip over.

[Lord Sterling]

I reckon I should be able to make it. I am a little bit freer ftom the shackles of life/problems right now plus the next week after then I've got 2 days off in the week to look forward to. I should have some holding-folding too.

 

Please, no more looming problems please....

[chaseracer]

Chris/Tim: fear not... safe to say, we'll be doing this again...

[Tamworthbay]

Quick taster:

They always used to have a compound with the nice/ exotic stuff in, not sure if it's still there. I will give them a call tomorrow and check they are open on Saturday afternoon but they always used to be.

Did that 75 Tourer go across the block at Cannock a while back?  Anyway - the field of dreams: Albert Looms Limited, Megaloughton Lane, Spondon, Derby DE21 7ND

 

Shall we meet here first? http://www.pjscafe.co.uk/contact-us

 

Or maybe here? http://www.ifancyafryup.co.uk/cafes/england/derbyshire/hatton/the-salt-box.html

[Tamworthbay]

I will meet you there if that's ok, my mums is only a few hundred yards away. The chippy in Spondon is good and has a small seating area.mits about half a mile from Looms.

[Tamworthbay]

Quite a few nice motors in:

Acksherley, that sounds like a pretty good option!

it's is where willowcroft road meets Nottingham road. There is off road parking for about eight cars as well. I will be there about 12 as I always buy my mum fish and chips as her cooking is truly shocking.

I would like to join in, since I live nearby. Would like to meet like minded shitters with GSOH. I will probably be in my company car vag group boredom mobile.So I can spend Sunday cleaning off the spit. Probably best to enter Loom's in smaller groups if its a large turnout.

I will be picking up chips and disappearing then reappearing, need to keep my mum well fed!

[chaseracer]

Fair enough - we'll wait for you!

[Pillock]

Yeah, I hope this is a regular venue to throw into the Cannock mix.

Shame I can't make it this time but I'm sure someone can emulate my presence by filling their socks with fuses and bulbs. 

[bub2006]

Please put my name down. I'll be there in my new fine chariot. And if saxo hasn't gone then can kill two birds with one stone! Bonus is I live less than 8 mile away

[Junkman]

I'll try to shanghai Mr Conelrad, who is currently still unable to sprad off his little finger, after what must have been a slightly intense stag weekend.

[Pillock]

Will there be a scrapyard game? Much like the Auction Game, but with added twist

"Dirty Diesel. Must still have at least two doors"

"Motorway Muncher. Must still have front seats" etc

 

As a bonus you can instantly win* by simply weighing in whatever car you went in.

[chaseracer]

It's hard to write with a spanner...

[bub2006]

I'm not weighing new motor in but I may need a towing bar and a driver to drag the saxo from matlock to the bridge!

[chaseracer]

^ This could be arranged.

 

 

EDIT: In fact, I'm going to pick up a towing bar tomorrow - so we're sorted.

[bub2006]

Could provide light entertainment I suppose. I think my car would tow it ok.

[Tamworthbay]

I phoned them up today and they are open Saturday afternoon. All good!

[Junkman]

Are they prepared to host a shiter delegation?

It looks like you haven't told them the entire scope of the endeavour.

I am sure that a small elite group of connoisseurs perusing their wares would be most agreeable, but as there is no chance of that they will have to do with us smelly bunch.
