Loose Cannon Posted April 8, 2012 Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 I think these take place May to September, but if the weather is decent get a good turnout outside these months. If I recall correctly they are 2nd Wednesday of the month, which means there should be one next week, anyone up for it/got their car taxed yet! For anyone who hasn't been it's an informal gathering adjacent the outdoor McDonalds/Toys-R-Us that includes all sorts from American to kit cars, with an almost total lack of plebs in barrymobiles. On a fine night you can get a better turnout than a lot of organised shows Can someone confirm that next Wed 11th is on, Steve?

Loose Cannon Posted May 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Most likely, I went last Wednesday and it was heaving, though an early dose of rain shortened things. I ducked out of shopping for the missus birthday present for an hour which was about enough. It may have become a victim of it's own success, seemed like the hatchback brigade have arrived big style, and the US/streetrods (which were the originators) have all but disappeared. Will definitely keep going for now, but the olde worlde charm may be evaporating Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loose Cannon Posted August 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2012 Anyone heading to the Metro Centre this month ?? Weather/ wife/ work allowing I intend to have a ride out. Martin, I finally got through to jamie Dent on the mobile about painting the Eclat, he wants a look-see and was hoping to get up this week. Hows about combining a trip and him having a ride up with you? I told him you had sold the other 2, he seemed a bit shocked, maybe a ride out in the new beast will convince him it was a wise move? I left a message on his phone, if you wanted to catch him neighbourly-like. Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinL Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Hi Mark, dont expect a fast job from Jamie, I have sent several "good jobs" his way this year and he is full of promises and has done nothing so far, I am waiting for 2 small repairs and am unable to pin him down to a date!!....................but I will speak to him on monday about a ride up to see you.

MartinL Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Mark, surprise surprise, cant get hold of jamie, will try again tuesday but looks like I am riding solo................... forecast is good, care arranged for Anne, just need to get away from the kennels for a few hours, dont have a clue where to go, do I just drive around metro Centre till i find a bunch of petrolheads ????? What sort of time is arrival expected?? Quote Dont worry,be happy............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loose Cannon Posted August 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 If you are coming up the A1, take the Metrocentre sliproad and turn right at the lights and over the roadbridge, straight over the next 2 sets of lights (towards McDonalds), then right at the McDonalds lights. Cars assemble between there and Toys R Us Quote In the garage no-one can hear you scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
