Post 462752 by MarkT5 on 2012-02-13 19:47:54
Hello everyone. I'm new to the vpc site, but I was wondering if any one would like a meet in yorkshire. Around doncaster would be good as its next to the M18 so easy to get to. Would any one be interested in a meet up and when would people like to do it? In a months time maybe so people can have time to make arrangements. Let's get a good turn out folks and make it a meet to remember!

hello mate and welcome to the forum ,the is a big meet at york raceway on the 3/6/12 witch is very good crack and normally a good turnout too if you are interested and you will meet alot of forum members there and it would be nice to meet you too and to show us what your car can do if you fancy having a go at the drag racing.

hi i recently spent all sunday travelling to two meets in Barnsley and Doncaster, no one turned up, and when i expressed my dissapointment, they had the cheek to complain, let then spend 5 hours travelling over 300 miles and £80 for no one local to get out of bed
Goodluck with the meet

Why's your post entitled T5D5 just out of interest ?
I've been to loads of meets on here, with some quality folk - numbers are always a bit unpredictable but that's part of the fun :)

Well if people are up for a good meet then shall we set a date and then can let everyone know. Well the 10th of March is a Saturday so shall we say the 10th of march? At Doncaster lakeside shopping centre? That's just off the M18 so should be good for everyone. Shall we say 6pm on Saturday night?

Not strictly true mate and you know it
If you had read the thread properly you would of seen that the meet was not as you state a T5D5 meet but was an evo meet with a member of T5D5 attending who just so happens to own both a volvo and an evo
Any hows i can`t be bothered to go down that road again so i`ll stop now

Hi Smithy, i am going to attend the York meet any way but was just trying to get a meet going for before this event so i can meet a few people before it comes to the York race day. I might be interested in camping when i get my act together and figure out what i will be doing. Well is everyone who is going to the meet happy with the date and time of meet?

just need time now, 5pm is better for me and where abouts in lakeside to meet.
toys r us end or up by mac d's? not that you can miss a gathering our little cars lol.
Post 470974 by t5 pete on 2012-03-06 08:50:45
How about 4pm either in the pub car park or close by do we can nip in.
Post 470988 by MarkT5 on 2012-03-06 10:19:38
4pm at the pub car park sounds good, can have a good look at the motors, and will be some space in the pub for a drink and a chat.
Post 471287 by streaky744 on 2012-03-06 22:49:43
4pm is cool, if car parks are full then my work car park is just round the corner and will be empty but no access to building at weekends just in case because if football is on it will be packed all round that area
Post 471393 by Toad740 on 2012-03-07 08:24:25
Didn't know I had this week off, what a brucie bonus :D, so I'm added just in case I can make it.

I have my camera charging ;-) and would anybody object to a friend of mine in a lowly z4 making an appearance Lol.. I told him about the meet and keep reminding him how much of an honour it will be to be surrounded by volvos
Post 471984 by WOODY T5 on 2012-03-08 21:34:46
cant make this now guys as my car is in paint shop
Post 472093 by MarkT5 on 2012-03-09 09:26:37
Right guys, who will be able to attend the meet at around 4 to 4.30pm tomorrow night? or if no one can make the 4.30 pm we could always just do it at 6pm like we said at the start, but if its 4pm we will get more day light to look at the motors. who is able to attend then?
Post 472094 by MarkT5 on 2012-03-09 09:28:00
ShepBomb, anyone can come as long as they like volvos ( Real cars ) ;)
