Milton Keynes meet BUCKS 24/4/10

[oukie]

Hi everyone :lol:.

I have been to several meets in BUCKS Milton Keynes, It is mostly IMOC/OC cars there but all Mr2's are welcome it is held the 4th sat of every month and please come and rescue me from being the only Mk1 owner that goes on a regular :D

The venue is abit up in the air at the mo though due to some bad service we had at last venue, So as soon as I know for sure where we are gonna be I will let you know.

We Normally have a chat-laugh then some stay for a pint/barlunch then we normally go for a blast down some good old country roads(even the Tubby's cant escape in the twisty's :lol: ).

Its really good fun everyone is really nice and on at least 2 occasions there has been 14+ Mr2's (although mostly Mk2's)

Edit New Venue

The Broughton Hotel
Broughton Village
Milton Keynes
BUCKS
MK10 9AA

Edit::: :lol: Ok 13+ Mk2's and a Mk1 :oops:

[Monkeymax]

Chris,
If my Mk1 passes its MOT, I should be there.
I used to go regularly till I took the Mk1 off the road in 2007 and haven't been since.
Back then, the meets were more runs & meets and were organised by Draven. It was the run part that was more interesting to me as back then I used to be the only Mk1 in attendance... Keep your fingers crossed for me!

[NINJA]

Hi Chris,

I live in Milton Keynes and started going to the events last year... unfortunately same as Max my SC has been off the road since. I promise as soon as its fixed I'll come support the mk1s mate. Should be a matter of days now.

Excellent, look forward to it. I have had loads done but none of it visible (new suspension, brake calipers, new stereo, full service, and some other stuff) so we can compare notes.

I may be a bit late, possibly nearer 3 but I will be there at some point.

Kate

[oukie]

Great see you both there :wave:

[toxo]

Woo! I know of at least 3 other MK1s that are coming too so at this rate there might be more MK1's than MK2's!!

Oh Chris, you will love the exhaust I've got on my MK2 at the moment... you thought the last one was a bit blowy!

Hi Kate,

Not sure yet as depends what time Jinx finishes a valuation he is doing in the morning, what time are you planning on leaving tho?

Deb

[Kateg28]

Probably around 1 ish but happy to fit in with your plans. I would love to drive across with you both so can adjust my plans accordingly.

There may be more Mk1's than Mk2's. Last month there were about 7 Mk2's and 2 Mk1's

Ok no worries, he should be finished by then, hopefully :roll:
Will talk to him tonight, as going to treat him to a night away, as seems daft travelling back when we are going to Rockingham Sunday

[Monkeymax]

Hi guys,
Thanks for the offers of a lift John & Kate. Knowing I wouldn't made it, I made alternative plans for Saturday morning earlier this week... If I'm done before 2, I'll head over in the Corolla. Would be great to see you all again.

[Tiny]

Weather means that car polishingis probably going to be on hold so ill be there

[Monkeymax]

I'll be there. In the Corolla, but I'm going. :+:

[Tiny]

I really enjoyed today Thanks for a great day good to see you all again and to meet some new faces.

:+:

[Kateg28]

We had more MK1 than MK2s. :clap:

Good to see everyone again and glad my leak of polish was put to good use, shiny shiny bonnet.

See you all again soon!

[Tony Jinxy Froude]

[Monkeymax]

Just a bump. The next meet is this Saturday.
Not sure if I'm going or not at the moment - but if I do, I'll finally be in an MR2!

[Kateg28]

Can't make it, I will either be without my car as my dad is doing some work on the arches or, assuming he has finished, I will be picking it up. As he lives in the opposite direction, won't have time to pop in. But I will be there at the next one, hopefully.

[unowho]

We can't make this one either :-: , we're off to Brands Hatch for MR2 Championship racing :+:

[oukie]

BUMP this sat folks :+:

[Monkeymax]

Not here this weekend I'm afraid... :(

[oukie]

Coming up again soon peeps time and Date updated :+:

[Ben]

Looks like I'll be moving to Bucks fairly soon - hopefully I'll be able to make some of the regular meets :+:

[Kateg28]

Where in Bucks?

For a good reason?

[Ben]

Don't know where yet, but I've just accepted a job in Marlow which I start in just over a month's time :crazy:

[Kateg28]

So on the Berks/bucks border?

Congrats on the job. You start at end of July? Isn't there something else happening in August for you?? :think:

[Ben]

Thanks :D

Something happening in August? Hmm... I'll have to check my diary on that one... ;)



Lol could you imagine? I'd be shot at sight if I forgot that! :lol:

[toxo]

This months will be a crap turnout I expect, it's the same weekend as Japshow and the British F1... If I manage to drag myself out of my post-wedding hangover I'll be there.

[oukie]

F1 is this weekend meet is next weekend

[unowho]

Unable to attend again :-: At Cadwell for MR2 Racing

[Monkeymax]

I'm welding one of my cars back together this weekend, so may take a break half-way through and pop over... :)

BUMPage

[Tiny]

[Ben]

:shock:

[toxo]

[oukie]

I really want to but i lost my job yesturday and my cambelt snapped today :(

Holy :shock:

Ben I have a brand new genuine Toyota cam belt (still in packet) thats yours if you want it, you can sort me out when you get a new job mate :+: or free if you wanna polish my baby :D :lol:

P.M me your address mate and I will post it to you, You wont have it in time for meet etc but at least it will get you mobile :+:

Chris

[Tiny]

Fingers crossed i can get one tomorrow and I have access to the all important puller/locker from Limey chris which my rents will bring up at the weekend then i can get it done and changed over for less than £30 :+:

Will probably miss the meet but depends on whether i can operate a pneumatic drill, break up a 15/10foot concrete slab, clear all the rubble from my back garden and change a cambelt all in one day.

I will try as i need to get my arse into gear and need to see some of you mad lot just to cheer me up :)

[Tiny]

Well after kicking myself into gear and getting the belt changed was quite a difficult thing to do if you haven't done it yourself before but all done and then gave the car a bloody good clean and polish wax. Came in to check the time and meeting point then realised it was today not tomorrow. :problem:

Never mind hope it was good and atleast the Mk1 is running again.

[Monkeymax]

Anyone know if this is on this month? I assume it'll be this weekend?
(Sorry, I just don't have my OC member details at the moment...)

I have an excuss though I was doing a bit of work on one of my mk1's and decided the engine needed to come out several hours later im knackered and the engine is out :wtf:

[Monkeymax]

We were wondering where you and Kate were... Nevermind.
I actually went this time - in an MR2!! :lol:

Only two Mk1s this time unfortunately (Dan & myself). Still, was a good afternoon! Was good to meet Dan in person!

[Kateg28]

I wasn't very well and spent most of weekend on the sofa under a blanket watching films. :sick: Today is first time I have been on the computer.

My mum was disappointed as she lives in MK and I don't get much chance to see her. I haven't been for ages so need to sort it out really. :problem:
Max, I now believe you have an MR2, now I have seen it.

[Danthrax]

[unowho]

Sorry we are unable to attend again, we are at Brands Hatch for MR2 Racing.......

Debs and Jinxy

[oukie]

Well the meet went ahead yesterday and was all good till on the way home when I was following a nice mk2 tubby when a prat in 4-4 pulled out right into him in front of me, he never stould a blooming chance, I only just managed to avoid both cars by going on the wrong side of the road :evil:

We were all ok and my car is undamaged but the mk2 tubby will probably be written off as its trashed right down the whole side of the car.

Be carefull out there folks some right prats on the road at the moment, we were on our way home not even speeding as its was spitting,dark and we were in a line of traffic,

God knows what the 4-4 driver was looking at but it werent the road :evil:

Chris.

[oukie]

Just a quick reminder for next month

Get out the house on Boxing day and come to this meet on Boxing day last year we had 22 cars on Boxing day meet

Chris.

[toxo]

WTF, was that one of our lot? I went the back way out from the pub through the estate so I didn't catch my bumper and I saw you go past the Cranfield junction, so I bombed it down the A421 to try and catch up... didn't manage it but didn't see any accident either.

Not good news :(

[oukie]

Yeah it was one of our lot the accident was near Bicester on the A421, I had only just caught up with him though as he had left a couple of mins before me, Oh and John I'M suprised you never caught me up in MIlton keynes, you being in a mk2 Tubby and all :mrgreen:

Chris.

[toxo]

Ah if it was near Bicester that would explain it as I wouldn't have gone that far!

I could see your lights I think by the time I got to Buckingham. Too many morons in MK = no overtaking! Everyone's out doing xmas shopping!

Bring on Boxing Day... hopefully I'm not meant to be going to see my Uncle!
