Leeds meet *this* Sun 7th September @ The Motorist (11am) - some pics

[Sunny Jim]

I'm hoping to make it 👍

[auntiemaryscanary]

Something to bear in mind... Not that I'm sure what it means for Sat 7th. On front page of The Motorist website

I suspect I'm unlikely to make it due to a combination of broken shite and kids just back to school

I was wondering about that, but I was there on Saturday for the Italian day.

I didn't see any road works but that doesn't mean there isn't going to be on the 7th. 

Edit

Says no traffic managements on weekends. I'd still keep an eye on the traffic though.

I do hope The Motorist have got the beige and brown bunting out for us Autoshite lot.

[egg]

I hope the exhaust blow on the Mondeo is in my imagination! Something's up, but don't think it will hinder me...

[Ghosty]

Sundays are 'coffee and cars' days at the Motorist, but that just means there's nothing in particular on and they're open. 

I'm busy on Sunday alas. 

 

[egg]

Fed and watered the Mondeo.  Will be good to meet some new shiters on Sunday. 

 

[auntiemaryscanary]

The Corsa B might get a light dusting if it's lucky!

[auntiemaryscanary]

Prepped

 

[DeanH]

Still planning to come along, is there a meeting point?

I'd asked @egg the v same last night by PM. He's hoping to get there a little early so we can drive round and find his blue Mondeo. 

I've swapped mobile numbers with him just in case to save me walking up and down shouting "Shite!" in the style of Father Ted.

[egg]

Currently half cut in a Leeds afternoon indie disco, but will be there! 

[morrisoxide]

I'll be there with the Oxford sporting a fetching brown and beige British Leyland T-shirt.

I think Father Oxide is making an appearance in his Magentis too.

A mate of mine might swing by in his Senator or Audi 80 also.

I was planning on parking on the grass near the picnic tables. So we can park together field of dreams kind of like, because that tends to be a bit quieter. But I suppose it depends on how busy it is?

Anyway see you there. 

[Matty]

Well jell. I'm on with something tomorow (and tbf the motorists is a fair drag from Burnley) but would've liked to attend this. Hope everyone has a good do 👍

If you do turn up there is a pint on me for you waiting at the bar. 

[egg]

It's about 20 miles and 40 mins for me, but as I don't really know where I'm going, will set off in 40 mins or so.

[egg]

Good to meet some new (to me) faces. Soz, didn't capture @1duck's Avensis.

[egg]

And some other stuff

Another action shot...

Thanks for organising @egg. V pleasant couple of hours out. Good to meet a load of new folks (plus reminisce about excessive alcohol intake at SF24 with someone else).

Will take a fair bit longer before my photo's are ready, they probably won't even get to the chemist's for a good few weeks. I'm sure the group shot will be worth the wait even though you fellas had me faffing around composing, focusing and getting the 15ft long shutter release out.

[DeanH]

Great to meet everyone today, thanks for organising it @egg

I missed that! I was off looking for my lost bloody vape.

And cheers for suggesting lead flashing clips to hold the dashboard foam down on the Mondy, will try it, or something similar.

[Volksy]

Quite a grand morning. Really great to meet you all!

You had me in that position. 

[morrisoxide]

Nice to meet you all and natter about car stuff.

@mk1_4dr Turned up in his Cube later on.

I didn't take many pictures as I was chin wagging too much. But here are some more.

[egg]

Saw the Corolla saloon on the way out, got 'the nod'

[egg]

Oh yes, this too, if you like that sort of thing...

[hairnet]

@morrisoxide did it crank unlike the tvr?  @mk1_4dr cube like woaahhh
