Who fancies a run out some time?

[pogweasel]

I have just seen this place http://www.8balldiner.com/ is opening up at the weekend, thought it might be a good spot for a shite meet, show them how [not] to do old cars...

[outlaw118]

Yep. Absolutely.

[trigger]

Blimey! That's only up the road, literally!, It was a car and van sales until recently and a little chef before that, It's on the Colchester bound side between Witham and Kelvedon, I wonder how much trade they will get?.

[Guest]

That's 230 miles one way for me chaps. Perhaps not.

[seth]

Wow! Good luck to 'em! They're pretty experienced at giving car guys stuff to do so I hope it works out. Probably about 60 miles from here but I'm sure I could make the odd meet there.

For those of you interested in this then this is the site here http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&ie= ... 3,,0,10.65

 

It is plenty big enough for it to become a pretty decent venue, i just hope that they have improved the slip road, That's a very fast stretch of highway there and a very small slip road, I wouldn't fancy trying to pull out of that on a Sunday afternoon in some really old car.

[garycox]

I wouldn't mind coming, it's not a million miles away.

[Mat.T]

well not far from me either, i'd be up for it

Harrods were pissed off with the previous owners of that place because they thought they were ripping off their logo, even though the place looked a right dump from the road - see here. Looks like they won in the end.

 

Perhaps they could enquire whether Goldie's boutique does franchises.

[michael1703]

I've been past there, could be a laugh, only trouble is that we might end up in an episode of "police interceptors"

 

 

"chief inspector fonkey diddler has been alerted to an acrid smoke clouding the a12, the cause of the visibility problem is a hearing aid beige maestro and dog turd brown allegro drag racing down the witham bypass"

 

I think I should come down in my grey thames once I've bribed the MOT man, wont be for a month to 6 weeks til i can get down

You could be very right there as well! We'll have to name a date in a few months once the days get a bit longer and meet up there.

[wuvvum]

I'd be up fer that, once the weather warms up a bit.

[Guest]

I don't want to go, but I'll be going to the petrol station later if anyone wants to join me.

[Dead_E23]

Sounds fun - I can probably be there by about 04:30 if you don't mind waiting.

[Guest]

Will it still be dark by then? I've got to get rid of some stuff.

[Alexg]

I'm in lads. Just let me know when!

[Pete-M]

I'd be up for that sometime. Not in the Heep though.

[Dead_E23]

Hold on then. I might be a few minutes late though - after drinking all this wine I'll have to drive up without using the headlights so the Police can't see me.

[wackywacerwill]

I'd be up for that, it's not mega miles from here. As long as it's after pay day though as I'm pedal powered till I've cash for petrol.

[Guest]

NW contingent in one car? I can probably afford the fuel in the 480 if three or four of us go in one car (realises this came to nought for the NEC Classic).

Depends when we go. If it's around Cholmondely time I'll be Peugeot Powered, and there's no comfier way than that.

[Pillock]

Yes.

Halves on petrol, if I'm about when this happens?

 

Try and get something older than the Ashtray working in time though

[garycox]

Yep, sounds good!

 

I'll try to get something else working/insured...

[RoadworkUK]

I pass this place literally every single day as I trip between the dealerships in our network. It'd be nice if it did turn out to be half decent, that building has seen several attempts at a business post-Little Chef and none of them have been entirely successful.

 

Of note if you're passing London-bound is a big poster on the wall of the Rivenhall Hotel and Health Club opposite 8-ball, of a girl bending over wearing gym gear and revealling a tattoo on her lower back. You can see right down her top and it never fails to distract me from the job in hand.

 

You stay classy, Essex.

every time we drive past I do a quick essex girl in a gym impression

[Cheggers]

It's a fair old schlap from sunny Berkshire, but I'd be up for it

[Torsten2001]

Triffic, I'm up for it. Do they do curley sarnies and luke warm tea?
