Collecting my C70 tomorrow, and I wondered about the possibility of a 'central' meet for C70 owners, but obviously all model owners are welcome. I'm thinking Easter time with the long weekend, ligther nights etc. I'm in Lancashire, Wobbly Dave is in Shropshire, so the West Midlands could be good. Who else is up for it and where are you please? You must have minimum 18" rims as well- only messing cos I now have 19's!!
I'd be well up for it, Im in doncaster
[quote=shepbomb;466839]I'd be well up for it, Im in doncaster[/quote] Great, how far are u prepared to travel please?
Depending when the meet was i suppose i could pinch the mrs c70 for the day
Barnsley, Doncaster, Great Harwood- so far Yorks and Lancs!
I'd be happy to come along. Never been enough of us to put on a show before now.
Up for anything - Lincoln but don`t mind a few miles travelling (18" rims!)
That's a few of us, but we're quite well spread out:- Great Harwood, Barnsley, Lincoln, Shropshire and Doncaster. I could travel to South Yorks, but its WobblyDave that would have a fair journey then. What do you suggest please?
I'll come if Mark swaps wheels with me LOL.
[quote=Wobbly Dave;466962]I'll come if Mark swaps wheels with me LOL.[/quote] The 19's are very nice, but I the lack of steering lock concerns me a bit. I've not actually driven the car as yet, but I'll get used to them.
I'm willing to travel almost anywhere... How about matlock down derbyshire way
[quote=shepbomb;467025]I'm willing to travel almost anywhere... How about matlock down derbyshire way[/quote] I'd be up for a meet in Matlock and it would be a nice drive down the A6. How's Matlock for everyone else please?
hopefully everyone else will agree :-), will be nice to finally have a meet... its been nearly a year since joining here.... and they seem to be super rare
Looks like most of us are going to York, but I was going in the V70 simply so I could sleep in the back, and that's June. Easter would be good, in Matlock. Thoughts please peeps?

That sounds good to me
Matlock at Easter sounds good, only problem is every man and his dog will have the same idea
Be careful with the dates. April 1st is the first drag meeting of the year.
Seeing as im 20 mins away from Matlock, would be rude not to pop along
[quote=andybrown;468231]Seeing as im 20 mins away from Matlock, would be rude not to pop along[/quote] As a 'local', can you recommend somewhere around or in Matlock that would be good for us to meet please?
that would be good, I was going to scout it this weekend, but if there is a yocal available even better ;-)
[quote=foammanmark;468243]As a 'local', can you recommend somewhere around or in Matlock that would be good for us to meet please?[/quote] Matlock is split into 2 sections, Matlock itself, and Matlock Bath, You drive through Matlock Bath to get to Matlock town, about a miles and half drive away. Parking wise, as its a heavy tourist area, the only car parks at Matlock Bath are all payable ones, no free parking :( Matlock again has mainly pay car parks, however, there is a Sainsburys next to the train station which is free. Matlock Bath is the most scenic place, At least if we park there we can wither stay at the car park with cars, or go a walk for some chips. Sainsburys is free, but its not exactly the most of exciting places to be!! When is the meet arranged for?
I know Matlock Bath, I think! Just south of Matlock on the A6 with a river running through it. That would be good to meet there, and have some Peak District chips. I might even have a go at canoeing in the river, cos I think they do that there as well?
I'd be defo up for a date in York! As long as I was off work that is. When's easter again??
[quote=Cubes;468471]I'd be defo up for a date in York! As long as I was off work that is. When's easter again??[/quote] Good Friday 6/4/12, but we're thinking of Matlock Bath in the Peak District. Could you make that? It's about 80 mile or so each way for me. I have footy on Good Friday itself, so I can't make that day.

How about we all meet at a pub etc so its free parking and we can all have something to eat aswell
[quote=t5 pete;468480]How about we all meet at a pub etc so its free parking and we can all have something to eat aswell[/quote] I'd be up for that. Something to eat and a shandy.
Can't really do that. It's a 250 mile round trip for me. Though I suppose I could have a few beers and drive home. That way I'd be asleep for most of the journey anyway :o)
[quote=t5 pete;468479]york ??????????[/quote] Faomy mentioned York and I read it wrong! :o

I'm not much behind you at 160-180 miles round trip, but it's a nice drive and good run out for the motor.
York is a bit too far. I only do once a year - and that is enough for me.
[quote=Wobbly Dave;468681]York is a bit too far. I only do once a year - and that is enough for me.[/quote] We're still planning on Matlock or Matlock Bath for the meet mate, but Cubes got mixed up with York.
Derbyshire is fine for me
What i might do this weekend of have a visit to see what pubs are about that seem suitable (biggish car park) There is a place about 15 miles from Matlock called Oakerthorpe which has a pub called the Peacock, This is used by loads of people for car meets, they sell nice food and the location isnt too bad. Depends how far folk want to stray :)

I'm not much behind you at 160-180 miles round trip, but it's a nice drive and good run out for the motor.[/quote] True, and I do like a good jaunt out. Matlock Bath is a lovely place too, especially if the sun is shining. I'm at work on the Sunday morning at 6 so I'd probs be pushing it for Saturday tbh. I cold look into having Sunday off but I won't know until closer to the time. I'll keep my eyes on this thread and see where it goes. :gossip:
im up for a meet. im near leicester and nottingham so not too bad. got 18" aswell. lol
I know we were thinking of Easter time for this meet, but because of buying Victor, and I've got the MOT on the V70 T5 next Friday, I could do with putting this meet back to end of April/early May. How would that suit everyone that intends to come please?
Just wondered if we're still up for this meet please, and if we could pencil in a date for late April/early May. I know that T5Pete is breaking his C70 and Shepbomb had the shunt, but I hope that they can still make it?
I'm still coming ill be in mi mums c70 to make the numbers up
im still up for it

I have football every other Saturday and with the season ticket, I can't miss a game. The season is nearing it's end though, so it'll be easier for me soon. If we look at end of April and May, do you know now which weekends you can't make please?
