Back in the day there were a few of us who used to meet up, mainly a few from the north west/shropshire area. Seeing as theres a few more of us now, brum, telford, shrewsbury, oswestry and further north, any one interested in a bit of road trip/meet?

I had to move back down here from Sunny Herefordshire so now you're just depressing me :cussing:
Post 460350 by Dan850r on 2012-02-07 22:32:53
Your not excluded lol, we could rotate it so no ones got to travel miles, say 1 month north then south and so on....
Sorry didnt read your post right! Maybe a bit far to come lol

I'd be up for it. I'm in Lancashire, but North Wales would be a good day out.

Depends on location

How would Wrexham be in Spring or sooner? That's about 80 miles each way for me.

If your looking for the T5, you won't find it! Its been off the road for 18months
I live in a village 3miles off the A458
Post 460668 by Dan850r on 2012-02-09 08:19:18
Yeah would be good, just don't expect anything to fit your car to be in stock or for them to be interested in anything you have to say! I was ready to buy some tyres last night from there and he was more interested in what was on tv behind me than giving me any advise.

its about time the Volvo boys had a meet, i went to 2 Saab meets last mouth which had a turn out of over 25 members at each.
Why cant we have a Northern Swedish Day like they do down south?
I have never been to Demon Tweeks, it could be a very good meeting place.

If we met there and the service was crap on the day, then we can have a blast round the industrial estate anyway.

Where's those places out of interest please? I don't mind going somewhere near Wrexham, but not much further or I'd have to give it a miss.

Bala is about 30 mins from wrexham or there about, the farm is about halfway

That's 2 of us that are easy then! So long as it's not a Saturday when Burnley play at Home, then I'm OK. If we decide the month, then I'l check the fixtures and advise the dates that I can't make. If it's a Sunday, then I'm even easier, especially after a drink or 2.
