Smoll Kent Meet Redux?

[Christine]

Ok i think

[SierraMikeHotel]

I'm away next weekend but thoroughly enjoyed the last one, always interested in theory! Have fun chaps.

[Vince70]

Is the meet on for this weekend at Headcorn

[GrumpiusMaximus]

I'm still up for it if others are.

[wrenchvolt]

Aye

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Bringing the Mazda, mate?

[mitsisigma01]

Probably maybe , not sure which mode of transport yet ....

[stuboy]

apparantly ive agreed to go to weald of kent saturday in woodchurch

[Joey spud]

Are we talking an AM or PM jolly here chaps ??

[GrumpiusMaximus]

I was assuming PM but that's only an assumption...!  Really, it's who can be where and when...

[wrenchvolt]

Bringing the Mazda, mate?

 

Afraid so chap. 1 in one out at the wrench shack I'm afraid, only steed I have now, but warming to it these days.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

It's a fine steed.  Still looking at the weather and deciding whether or not I can be bothered to drive a 75 bhp Focus.  Otherwise it'll just be the boring, battered, teutonic, quickish thing.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

How does Headcorn aerodrome, 5th August at 1PMish sound to everyone?

I don't usually go for V'Dubs, but that that one of yours makes a lot of sense IMO, I thought it was a bloody good, propper vehicle. Move yourself and others around reliably and if the need arises fill it up with a ton of paving slabs and sand . Good practical sense is different from boring IMO. Boring and exciting can also be stupid I suppose. Practical on the other hand alludes to having understanding and therefore an intellect.  

[Vantman]

The Headcorn classic car meet starts at 10am so will probably be over by middayish.

[wrenchvolt]

MIddayish suits me too.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Sorted.

I don't know.  The Passat when new wasn't much more expensive but still has a much larger load capacity (and getting spare parts is a lot easier for estate-specific tasks) so the Golf was always a bit of a weird choice.  Apparently it can chipped to 189 bhp.  That's tempting.

 

I just want to see this Mazda.  I've never really had much to do with them as cars.  My parents had a Nissan when I was very small but that's about as close as I ever got.

[wrenchvolt]

Probably an opinion that could lead to me being sent away and given a free orange jump jumpsuit, but.... Mazda, Nissan, any Japanese 2WD 1.6-2.0L Family hatch or Saloon are all pretty much the same.

[mitsisigma01]

So the Sigma estate 3.0 v6 fwd 5 speed manual isn't very normal. I've never seen another in the real world .... yet

[Rave]

I might be up for this. The easy option would be to come in my Jaaaag, but my broken arm is improving to the extent that I might be able to drive a manual OK by Sunday. So I wondered about trying to wake my Fiesta from its slumber. Never been to this meet or indeed any other car meet, is it the sort of do where I might get some interest in a shabby Mk3.5 1.3LX for sale, or would I get banished to the furthest possible corner?

[GrumpiusMaximus]

Anything is welcome! Just ask Wrenchvolt about his old Clio...

[wrenchvolt]

Cheeky bastard! You liked it you dirty bitch.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

I did! It nearly won the game of Top Chod.

 

Until the rear-engines Skoda turned up.

[wrenchvolt]

At least that was clean and you didn't stink of Stale Marlboro Lights for the rest of the day when you got out.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

No but my old Fiesta smelled of stale Old Holborn for quite a few years...

[inconsistant]

Was hoping I'd be able to make this just so I could repeatedly refer to it as Headporn, as Bourne fella rightly commented earlier in the thread. In the mid 80s my mate and I cycled through it and refered to it as Headporn with a snigger. So its got historical precident... Just needs the signs altering.

 

Unfortunately I most probably won't make it. Front of car is dismantled and I really need to do a few days spraying that I was hoping to do last weekend, except it rained.

Will have to see what progress is made on Saturday and make a last minute call.

[GrumpiusMaximus]

No worries mate. Best of luck with the 70s nightclub.

[inconsistant]

[Christine]

so ....Sunday  5 th  @ 1pm ish ?    Any car'll do ?
