Midland Italia mini meet anytime soon

Eye captain :) ...... Just handed my polling card in :D we should have a run down of what tools we need so people don't bring two of everything and not bring the one tool that you really need ....... I mean how many times have you gone round your mates to work on his car and end up saying "I got one at home aswell if only I knew I would've brung it" :D
 
homeward Thanks for your constant support on this along with everyone else!

I will push up the ante on this and get tools in, along with hiring a van out for myself so i can be mobile to buy myself an engine, i will be fussy with an engine want a good'n!(y)

I will then get all the essentials like timing belt kit, water pump, head set, FIAT thermostat, etc and work hard on the new engine before it goes in, this way we wont be faffing around with new engine, just means times come, old engine out, new engine straight in! This is where my training will come into play:D
 
hello everybody i thought its about time i got this thread back on track so below im going to post some google maps links to the several possible different car parks with nice photo opportunities, they are all very close to each other so we could use any or all of them:p ill post them below.

take a look and see what you think, there are a fair few nice pubs where we could go to before or after aswel which are bairly a 5-10 minute drive away. ive also set up a poll in the midlands italia sub section to pick a date or dates that you can do. so make sure you go to vote. and once we've got a date picked i'll get the event thread up and we can start publicising it all over and get a HUGE respponse....... well you get the idea ;)


thanks alot guys .... SAM
 
I think ill be willing to come to this, dependent on dates etc etc. Ill go have a look at the thread in a min.
The top link for the car park is only 2 hours away from me so not so bad!

It is buddy. I work about 2 minutes from the Black Country museum but I would strongly advise not to run any car meets or convoy's through the Black Country area. There's a court injunction on the area enforced by police with a ban for car cruising and car meets.

sounds ominous.. :( thanks for the heads-up(y)


but the last M.I. meet was 4 x "shopping cars" and a mini MPV..

sorry gadge , werdna

should "CRUISE well under their radar"..:rolleyes:
 
Car cruising – the act of drivers meeting on the public highway on either an organised or impromptu basis to race or show off in their cars – is noisy, dangerous and illegal.

What's our average age ?

Dinosaur?
Stone Age?
Victorian?
Vintage
Veteran
Historic
Classic!

Its Charlies fault " Should I find a cafe in the vicinity.."..
