Who's up for Queens Square meet this Sunday? 8)
Not sure what the weather will be like but there is always a good turn out for this one from various cars. ;D
I will be going. ;D
I hope to be there
Nope, my weekend to work >:( >:(
I'm hoping to go, fingers crossed its dry :D
If you do, I would be pleased to meet you all as I haven't managed to make an event yet - the forecast so far for Sunday is cool but dry - good omen Ian
We're planning on being there.
8)
Yes, should be around, fingers crossed.
I should be there. Might even get Paintman out of bed. Stupot will be pissed from the night before so I doubt he will come. Mustang Tony doing other stuff, not sure about Griff.
So providing I can get up and silly O'clock on a Sunday, I should make it.
M
Do you want an early morning call 8)
Just seen the forecast for tomorrow :( :( :( :(
Was gonna sneak out the house at 8 and pop down.. Cant see that happening now..
Not going down either, Annas knock her exhaust pipe loose, >:( I've welded the joint together now but won't be fitting till tomorrow.

I will be up early.. F-1 on BBC1 at 545 and also Moto GP and later its the final round of the BTTC..
If weather Ok I'll be there up for F1 anyway thanks for heads up on BTCC forgot it was on, record set.
Ok, looked out the window & desided it looked too crap so tv with F1 seemed a better option. ::)
Did anyone go down to Queens square? :)
I went,Pete (Hairy Santa) turned up, And Iancider and wife were there. just got back before it rained.quite a few cars were there, Glad I went, got me out of the wifes way. she would have found me something to do.
I got soaked in the Dax busa

True but the Moto GP was good and as for the BTCC, well that was awesome. All came down to the last race...
BTCC a much better option.
Totally agree, I've got that taped ready to watch :D

Wow, that must be a long tape. The program is on for hours (ITV4).
I agree the BTCC was great, like you said as far as the F1 roll on 2014. Watched Rush last night, so even better bring back the 1970's.

Yup! I tape it every time it's on, and you get 3 BTCC races, a couple of supporting ones like formula ford and Carerra cup etc. and Looooooooaaaaaads of damn adverts!! >:( >:( Every time they do a pit walk they nip off for another 5 minutes of adverts! It's always taping for around 7 1/2 hrs!! Thank God for fast-forward :D
Who is up for Queens Square this sunday the 10th Nov then? :D
I will prob. be there if the weather stays good.
What time do you meet?
I might be able to show up this Sunday. ::)
we normally get there from 9am onwards. Normally leave there by 12ish midday.
In the summer time it's best to get there early but it starts getting quieter over the winter months so 9 onwards should be fine. :)

Is the mini back on the road yet mate? or is it the M3? (which you hopefully still have? ;D)
Boys, don't forget that it's rememberance parade on the centre this weekend so access will be limited, ie past my workplace The Bridewell and possibly from Redcliffe roundabout.
Be warned and be prepared. Oh, and don't rev your engines, or sound your horn, but heartily chastise anyone who does at 11.00am like they did last year. Right in the middle of the 2 minute silence. Some people have no sense of shame.
Rant over, have a good one and I hope the weather is kind as I for one will be stood on the centre paying my respects. :) :)

It'l b the M3. The mini is still off the road and I haven't had the heart to sell the M yet as we've had some good times together. It'l b sad to see it go :'(
Thanks for the heads up Pete. :)
Alastair it's simple. Don't sell it! >:( >:( >:( ;D ;D ;D ;D
He'll never sell the mini He'd sell an organ first..
i'll TRY to make it as well..
Is that a Hammond C3 organ.(sorry, :P :P :P a musician's wit)

Hope the weather holds out for the meet.

It was a good morning. I counted at least 11 members that I know off. could of even been more. :o 8)
It was a cracking day. So tempted to put the Mk back together for a run out but I had to buy a daily runner to replace the bemmer. May be next month but that's the same day as our X-Mas meal.....
Great to meet the guys I did today after all the banter on the forum, see you again at the xmas do :D

Hi chaps, what did any of you make of that pile of rusty bits and bolts. I tried to work out the drive train from the back and counted 4 sprocket chains??? It makes me wonder when us mob, take so much care in assembling some beautiful motors that have to comply with the strictest of strict testing and then a heap like that which never looked safe, yet alone roadworthy, or capable of having an MOT turns up ??? ??? ???
found another pic of the rust, not sure what it was!
(http://s22.postimg.org/nri1af30t/IMG_0178.jpg) (http://postimg.org/image/nri1af30t/)
It did make me smile when I saw 2 guys literaly purched on it as it was going along the road. It didn't look at all safe but I bet it was fun to be in. :D
It was good to you guys and catch up again. Ill make sure I dont leave it so long next ime.

Wow, I haven't seen this one at the square before. 8) 8) 8)
It's also our queens square meet this sunday who is up for it then? :D
Perfect to meet up there first then head out to our xmas meal. 8)
Which we will have to be at the pub by 12.15 at the latest. ;D
I've got a works function Saturday night in Portsmouth so me and my hangover will come up and go straight to the pub - no kitcar for me I expect...
If my car is back on the road by then I will be at Queens Sq, if not I will see you all at the River side
I'm up for meeting at the square on Sunday hope the weathers good.
I will be at the square in the morning but as it's looking like no convoy to the pub, I may take the westy home about 11 & get the girlfriend to drive to the pub for 12. ::) :D
I should be down but will have to branch off to pick the misses up on the way through to Saltford, she doesn't want to stand around for a couple of hrs prior to the meal while we chat a load of crap about cars
cant say I blame her really ;D
If the weather is OK, it'll be Westy to Queen's Square and to the pub. If not, lard-mobile. Looking forward to seeing everyone.
Anyone fancy giving me a lift down to the Square? as my car is still stuck down the trimmers having it's roof done. then a ride over to the Riverside, Anna will be meeting us there as she is working nights tonight and her son has Judo grading in the morning and needs her car.
8)
I dont know if my car will be ready, but if it is I will be going to the Sq. on my own but then I will be going back home again to pick up the Mrs. so if I can get to the Sq. you can have a lift but that dont do you a lot of good.
Whereabouts are you bri? I'm driving through from Chippenham but can come in via the m4
I will have to meet you guys at the riverside I'm afraid. :( The westy needs a few more gremlins checked out on the engine before I can drive it again. ::)
I thought the owner of a yellow Avenger was driving around and around the Square today. However, on walking back to my car I saw this...

8) Tidy trio there. Love em..
Sorry Rob, Nicked your pic and Facebooked it, as someone I know from work only posted a pic of a single Tiger. ;) Great looking cars.
8)
Ok first queens square meet of the year who is up for it?
Not sure what the weather is going to be though & my car is up Northamton having a check up so I'm not sure if I will have it back by then? ::)
Anyone else going to go though? :D
All being well, we should be there.
8)
You know I nearly always go to the sq. but this w/e I'm in Plymouth .Sorry. Will be there next month though. ;D ;D ;D
If the weather holds up I'll be coming along, start the year off nicely
Yep, I'll be there if the weather is OK.
is the café open - yes
I will be there :D
Weather permitting
As long as it is dry, I'll be there. Have not been for months.
M
I'll be there. Still going topless so the weather needs to be good. Any amphibious cars out there?
Will be there minus the Dutton 1 bid on e bay at the moment.
It will be a shame to see it go mate. :)
Should be there in the tin top for a quick coffee and chin wag! :P
I won't have my car back so looks like I'm a no show. :-[
We made it. As did quite a few others. Nice to Ian's smart Westy. Got some ideas to use on my Locost now to make my dash better.

Nice to meet some of you, my son had a good time looking at the cars around the square today, he is not one for getting up on the weekend, but it's nice when they show an interest in our hobbies,
Nice pictures Bri. Not sure I want to put my westy next to Ian's. It looks really tidy & might make mine look tatty. ::) ;D
Glad you had a good time Robert, it will get alot busier when the warmer weather kicks in.
Hopefully I will be there next time. :)
I had good intentions of going but had a real rough night with the grand kids.. And to top that off I can't keep any thing inside me!! Need I say any more :-[ On a plus side tho Ive lost that extra weight that was gained over XMas..

I went to Queen's Square. I was amazed at the turnout for such a cold grey day. Good to see everyone and see Ian's shiny new Westfield.
Yes it was a good meet for such a cold day. Thanks for the nice comments guys - I'm pleased with my new steed. It was an interesting drive at just above freezing - couldn't speak or grip anything for an hour after arriving home. :o
Good pic of Pete's Daytona on Flicker http://www.flickr.com/photos/geoff_b/11909772183/in/pool-2473958@N20/
Just a shame he's put his mark on it. :(

Ok. It is Squeen's Square meet next sunday!

I'm guessing not ;D I would shake the hand of any hard core nutter that did though.
Got the car out then spotted the Arial hanging at 45% on the house
so spent a hour clambering up on the ridge sorting that out
all good fun in the sleet and rain ;D
I looked out the window when my alarm went off. As it was heavy rain was going sideways! I desided to go back to bed. :( ::) :)
What a bunch of wimps :P :P :P :P :P I was at the square on Sunday from about 9.30 am till 11.00 so you can shake the hand of this nutter Phil. :-*
Have to admit though, my pal and I went in his Midget with the top up but it didn't actually rain all morning apart from a half hearted attempt for a few mins. 8) 8) 8)

The least I can do is take my hat off to you sir. Fair play to both of you.
Were you the only ones there? ;)
Well if you didn't take your 7 then it doesn't count! ;D So your a wimp like the rest of us! :P
Fair do's Sprint, 10 out of 10 for effort but it was raining where I was and I would have been driving an open topped bath tub. I did do the last one , returning in sleet and lost the power to speak for a couple of hours. Wifey says I should do it again! :)
Hi Colin It says in the text at the top of the forum that you don't have to even have a kit car to indulge in club events and anyway I had my Avenue Car Club hat on that day Te He He !!! ;D ;D ;D ;D Saucer of milk anybody??
Only a spot of friendly banter boys .Don't get your undies in a twist. ;) ;)
