March 2013 run!!!!

[alpha13]

ok. both colin and myself are trying to start planning a run for the first run of the year next year now.
we really want people to let us know if they are interested and to give ideas or thoughts on where to run it
or what to do..... last year was a pretty bad and quiet year for us as a club and none of the usual fun,food and
frolicking :) :) :) so we would really like next year to get back to what we all had and enjoyed before hand. i am
sure you will all agree.
so again PLEASE give your thought,opinions and suggestions and if you are interested.
even if you cant come but have ideas feel free to make them here.
thanks to all you help with their input :D

Hi, Im new to the NI meets but Im an on/off member due to 5 Mk1 MR2s since early 2000s. Are there many NI members who would meet up regular, I am keen to get a Christmas Meet on the go if the NI orchestrators would be up for it!

Im just outside Belfast if anyone is interested? Bah Humbug?!?!?

[alpha13]

hi drew. yes there are plenty of fellow mk1 members in the north..as for meeting up at christmas??? i am in dublin myself, but if you contact colin aka mr2mk1 he is the lao and can also put you in touch with some of the other lads that organise runs up that way.

as for the march first run.... it seems april would be a better time due to any possible sorned vehicles!!! how does this suit everyone??? and who would be interested in going?? also any suggestions as to where the run could or should take place and go?? or do we do as was done 2 years ago and arrange a trip to someplace for a tour and food and meet???? all suggestion welcomed and naturally even more so from those interested in doing the event!!! :)

[Drewfitness]

Brilliant thanks. I would like some experienced eyes on my mk1 just to see what they think needs sorted before April. SORN sounds like a good idea for the winter. Means I can concentrate on getting it nice for the summer.

[alpha13]

well there are plenty of members up that way..and all very helpful and informative too :D :D as for the sorn, thats what most of them do.
as i said contact colin aka mr2mk1 he can point you in the right direction for the contacts and keep you up to date on any shows or events planned or happening next year.

[Drewfitness]

Thanks again

[alpha13]

Thanks again


more than welcome drew :)
hopefully we will see you out and about in the new year :) :)

[Drewfitness]

Definately, i think half the fun of owning a mk1 is when you sign your name on the V5 you unwittingly have signed into an owners club membership! ;)

[alpha13]

OK... we need a big push now to try and organise a run or event in april after the cars are un sorned!! :D :D
need all the input and interest possible and help in this soon so we can know exactly what is going on for everyones sake..
so if anyone is interested in attending or maybe interested but not sure if it will suit around that time can you please post on here
and let us know one way or another.... thanks.
any suggestions or help is also greatly welcome and appreciated.

[alpha13]

ok.. as of the moment there is no interest or comments about a run or meet in april/march :( :( :( at this rate it looks like there wont be one :(
so if there is going to be a meet or run i really need to hear some feedback soon folks!!!!.
cheers.

[Infamous]

Are you familiar with mr2.ie?
If not, you should sign up and post about runs there as well as on here, quite a few mk1 owners on there who attend meets regularly!

[alpha13]

cheers for that mr2 lurker. :)

[Rinzler]

Dude I'd love to attend but my little lady wouldn't be ready in time. Look forward to the day I get to go with mine.

[alpha13]

no problem rinzler. thanks for the reply though :) :)

[rockinhorse]

im up for meet...can only ride shotgun though..or if you need an escort/break down van i can do that..lol..

[alpha13]

if it happens ronnie you are always more than welcome to go shot gun with me in bumblebee any time we go out :D :D

[Drewfitness]

my car will be getting its MOT around the end of April. Once this rubbish weather clears off it'll pave the way for washing waxing and general tidying. Is there much interest in a run in May? Weather permitting?!?;)

[alpha13]

unfortunately drew there is no interest in any runs at present :( :(

[Rinzler]

i'd love to go mate, but my little lady isn't anywhere near ready. Hows Bumblebee this weather?.

[alpha13]

hi rinzler, bumblebee is just sitting there :( hopefully i will get it out for a spin or three soon LOL :) :)

[Rinzler]

[Rinzler]
