Loose Cannon 582 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Dear Bibs Is it possible to have a NEEG subsection? We managed to get a few cars together last month, hopefully that will be the start. Unfortunately I am away over the date of the next Metrocentre meet, although TBH it might be nice to go somewhere quieter next time where there is more opportunity to get to know everyone. Any suggestions as to a next run out, preferably nearer August? In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to post Share on other sites

Andy_A 7 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Thanks Bibs, NEEG lives! The Newest, Best, and Most Active Esprit group in the whole wide world. Probably. Ahem. Okay, where to go for the next meet? Hippo and I have done South Shields/Marsden/Seaburn coastal area a coupla times. There are a few quiet car parks (eg Souter Lighthouse, although someone was gunned down there last year....!), where we could meet up and then go for a run up and down the coast road to give the natives a bit of excitement....and maybe stop for a coffee at a nice quiet little cafe. I know of one, with off road parking, on a farm just off the coast road. I know the owner and could probably make arrangements for part of the car park to be cordoned off just for us Esprit Gods. Just a thought.

Loose Cannon 582 Posted July 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) Most Active Esprit group in the whole wide world. A bold statement. That sounds nice and not too far away (petrol) might be a chance for more of a chat than the other evening, find out who we all are and what we want out of any group/club.

Hippo 4 Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Is anybody out and about this weekend? I got a full tank o' fuel and nowhere to go... Surely any trip out must include a drive through the Tyne Tunnel with the windows down... Andy your farmer friend idea sounds ideal Marge: Homer, I don't want you driving around in a car you built yourself. Homer : Marge, you can either sit there complaining, or you can knit me some seat belts... Link to post Share on other sites
Loose Cannon 582 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Been through the TT 4 times in the last 2 weeks, each time every twunt in there was down to 20mph, seriously. I asked on Pistonheads if cameras had been installed because I was down to 2nd gear sometimes. Unfortunately no spare time this weekend, getting ready for a holiday In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to post Share on other sites

Andy_A 7 Posted February 3, 2009 Report Share Posted February 3, 2009 Just to let you guys know I've started my, er, "repairs". So hopefully I'll be good as new come the Spring. Meantime, any suggestions for a good supplier of V8 bodyparts would be most welcome.

Andy_A 7 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 (edited) Sorry Bibs, just seen your post. I've already ordered what I think I need. Some from my local dealer, and some from SJ sportscars Ltd. In fact the parts should be on the way to the body shop to be sprayed as we speak . The work is progressing nicely, I'll post a pic or two, shortly. Edit: Hippo took me for a spin in his Exige on Saturday. What a machine! I'm green with envy. Things won't be so bad when I'm back on the road.
