1. Santa20 2. p fandango 3. jamest5r (Depending on approval from "wife") 4. Justin The turnout is going quite well based on the lack of organising I've done. Looks like a meet might actually go ahead lol. Ideas on locations and places very very welcome

[quote=p fandango;354480]where are we actually meeting? lol[/quote] Good question! Wish I had good answers........Any ideas?
[quote=santa20;354458]Heres my attempt to get a meet organised. Anyone up for a VPCUK meet on possibly the 22nd Jan, in possibly a pub, located possibly in the middle of england?[/quote]where would meet be rich.

[quote=p fandango;354490]well i'd say the Cocked Hat again, but i would because i live on the doorstep lol[/quote] Cocked hat would be a good one....providing no one gets lost. Plus its not to far from the M1 for T5 Pete and On the M6 for kevin4878
Well Coventry and Birmingham are both 120 or so miles away for me but don't mind travelling just need to have enough time to get back for work at 7pm. Would be nice to find somewhere close enough for everyone to travel.
Where you from elmyin
Where are you travelling from Emlyn? i thought you were in Brum? Gary. PS I would love to go but funds are limited at the moment.
I would be up for a meet depending on the location,location,location.
[quote=siamblue;354498]Where are you travelling from Emlyn? i thought you were in Brum? Gary. PS I would love to go but funds are limited at the moment.[/quote] It will be either Kings Lynn or Lincoln, im only 40 miles down the road from Dean (smithness) im East Midlands really. Verging on the North.

Coventry for me, but Notts is fine if easier for others!
Nottingham is bad for me , totally understand if thats where it ends up but it wouldn't do me just for a meet up.
Coventry for me, sorry northern lads but im on a tight time line.
I'm easy either one, as being in leicester i couldn't be more central.

How about somewhere in the middle then, say somewhere around Burton-upon-Trent? and its on the A38 I'm working until 3pm, so depending on what time everyone is there til, not sure if I'll make it.
If anyyone would like to share the fuel with me then i am willing to go up from London, 2 extras will work out £10 each in fuel, Gary

Yep, its Dave. Dunno really, wondered if someone knew of any good ones in that area, but been on google and found three, with large car parks and easily accessible from the A38.

Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to just settle on that. Bloody awful drive to get there from Norfolk but hey that's what you get for living in a county still in the stone ages. The locals are still confused by the traffic light concept and how to navigate a round-about.
Seems that we are struggling to make a decision!!!!!lol
[quote=LiamT4;354848]Seems that we are struggling to make a decision!!!!!lol[/quote] Yep, was hoping the community would decide on a clear winner but most dont care and the rest is 50/50. Also no one has suggested a place in Notts that they have actually been to before.
Coventry it is then.....decision made.:beer:
[quote=jamest5r;354877]Coventry it is then.....decision made.:beer:[/quote] I knew a tough don't argue with type character would end up making the decision for us all. I have changed my mind Coventry is my preference I don't fancy a run in with James's kids!
Ok, is that now confirmed, Coventry?
[quote=Justin;354882]Ok, is that now confirmed, Coventry?[/quote] Your guess is as good as any, I have however looked over the thread and it seems that more are unable to come if it were Coventry than those who wouldn't be able to attend if it were Nottingham.
yep, Cocked Hat on the 22nd. PS don't just enter the postcode into the satnav becuase it takes you into Binley village & not the pub
[quote=santa20;354846]Dave (Bomb192uk), are you coming?[/quote] Unfortunately I'm in work until 3pm and I've got very little holiday left, but could pop down for for the last hour if people are still there.

I'll be there after 1pm, will everyone be fed by then? or will there still be someone I can go halves with on the 2 for £10 meal deal? Ed
I didnt' know it was two for a tenner so it seems I havn't been paying attention and my teachers were right all along :smileypul
Whatever you do, don't go halves with Pedro. Last time he ordered everything on the menu... twice! :)
I shall be there about 11:30 - sharing almost certainly with the missus.
So if you go halves with him do you get half of everything on the menu ? sounds great to a greedy bar steward like myself :hilarious
[quote=turbo-tuner;356022]Whatever you do, don't go halves with Pedro. Last time he ordered everything on the menu... twice! :)[/quote] i did offer the garlic bread with cheese round tho lol
[quote=p fandango;356025]i did offer the garlic bread with cheese round tho lol[/quote] I bet that hurt ;)
[quote=JelT5;356029]I bet that hurt ;)[/quote] luckily they could all tell i was only offering becuase i'm a gent & didn't ake it up & have any lol
Sorry guys but it's going to be a Volvo + VW Passat meet tomorrow:
Edit : Actually it might not......watch my space in the car park. (Its like one of those Top Gear challenges, if I appear in a Passat you know I've failed lol)
and here we see the volvo s60r in its natural habitat..... the garage! (sorry, i'm just jealous really)
Really shouldn't have said that, now my s70 will prob breakdown tomorrow!!!lol
Sorry to say Mrs PA and I won't be there. She's not feeling 100% and I'm not driving, it's not having a licence that's the problem. So enjoy yourselves and remember you will not go rolling home:hidesbehi And how about some photos then all of us who can't be there will know who some of you are when we get to meet up later in the year, all being well?

Looks like I'll have to suffer the indignity of turning up in a hyundai.
[quote=claymore;356086]Looks like I'll have to suffer the indignity of turning up in a hyundai.[/quote] Could be worse, you could use my corsa! :eek:
[quote=claymore;356086]Looks like I'll have to suffer the indignity of turning up in a hyundai.[/quote] I can give you a lift if you wish?
[quote=Wobbly Dave;356093]I can give you a lift if you wish?[/quote] cheers for the offer Dave, but I'll be ok untill I have to get out of the bloodey thing.
[quote=claymore;356094]cheers for the offer Dave, but I'll be ok untill I have to get out of the bloodey thing.[/quote] Your lucky mate, I have an Automatic to deal with. I have not once but many times been through the front windscreen forgetting there is no clutch.
You would think that not having a gear thingy to wobble around would give you a clue it's an auto. Mrs PA loves her 850 T5 Auto, she's not so happy with the V70 T5 Auto but she's not got alot of choice about which one to drive at the moment as the 850 is off the road. I'm hoping that the freeze didn't do any damage to the engine. Or I'll be looking for another engine for it later in the year, when business picks up, fingers crossed.

I have always driven in that order and driving consistently at work in manual vans/trucks isn't helping.

And that was a Volvo. It take's a little getting used to, but once you have and you remember that it's an auto when you get in, you don't forget, it's a bit like riding a bike.

Without doubt lovely cars to drive. In an idea world I would love a manual T5 and a Automatic D5 for everyday running around.

Due to the rover 75 now being a non starter ( at least not so you can rely on it and drive anywhere) sadly I wont now be coming. If you read my post yesterday , I didnt manage to fix it but did get quite a bad back thrown in for my afternoons efforts which is nice :worried: Sorry to be a pooper Mas
Nice to put faces to names today, and Emlyn's face was priceless :)
[quote=claymore;356171]Nice to put faces to names today, and Emlyn's face was priceless :)[/quote] nice to see you all there and yes emlyns face was a picture that he wont forget.
For those that couldn't make it [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcgJuzG7t94"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcgJuzG7t94[/ame]

Seems like it went well enough,think he looked very surprised with the amount,probably thought it was £50 lol.
Nice one, sorry i could'nt be there dont think im yet under the d/d limit lol.
Result :)
[quote=jamest5r;356186]Nice one, sorry i could'nt be there dont think im yet under the d/d limit lol.[/quote] don't you mean "under the thumb" lol
Once again thanks everyone. Was a great day and glad to catch up with some old faces and finally put a face to Justin! I have said it already and will say it again, proves what a great community we have and how proud I am to be a part of it.
yet another very good meet, put more names to faces (for the second time in some cases lol). The look on his face when he opened the envelope was priceless & i did like the squashed fox lol. I'm sure there burger's got smaller tho
Shame I couldn't make it, would have loved to have been there. Glad your finaly in the know anyway, just make sure you buy something decent that doesn't like foxes.
HI guys, looks like all went well? shame my work had to get in the way,nevermind maybe at the next meet goodstuff JT
Good meet again (and for a good cause today). Good to meet everyone and wobbly thats a pretty quick car you got there, you really should be doing very low 14s in that, hopefully when you get your lsd on it you'll do it. Only downside is now my car feels so slow! lol

It was a pleasure to inagurate the OSF (Order of the Squashed Fox) - As I said next time use the OSF wheel to splat the bugger. Hope the Crash Test Dummy socks keep you warm if not safe? Great to see everyone - it is nice to be not alone. 5 years of waiting for someone else to run out of talent was long enough.

Great to see you all, especially Emlyns face lol. I have just got in after leaving you all with another 3 engagements thisavo. Thanks to all that made it and especially all that helped put a big smile back on his face. Good luck finding a car Emlyn, i will be in touch next week re transfer of funds :)
Just read this thread, would have loved to be there maybe next time.
As a new member I look forward to the next big meet. [quote=p fandango;356123] thanks, i do have a (fake) reputation to keep[/quote] This will be an interesting discussion ;)
Sorry nither Mrs PA or I were there, but it was nice to see Emlyn's face when he opened the envelope. Just proves that VPCUK is a great group to belong to.

:cool:
How many turned up then?
There was a good dozen I would say without putting too much work into calculating it
I think this is a fantastic example of the forum community on VPC. Great work, sorry I missed it.
This has just tought me a very big lesson about being a forum member and not reading all topics about meetings !!!!!!! I read the meeting venue "Cocked Hat" 22nd January 2011. Just read the post today. On the 22nd Jan I was at B&Q just round the corner from the Cocked Hat. Just goes to show that it pays to read the meeting section more than I do. I live about 15 mins away and could have been there. I am bloody fed up I missed it but was nice to see you had a great time. Would have been nice to meet you all. Will in future follow this section more often.
