There are a group of us meet on the first monday of each month but usually around Redditch. We do, occasionally meet round your side of the city.
You'd be more than welcome to join us. see here: http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=50002

Matt, thats good to know you are only up the road I might have to pop down some time, Ive got loads of questions to ask as I bought the car ready
built from a guy round the corner and have very limited knowledge of engines!!
I am contemplating upgrading to bike carbs but not sure whats best. Do you have a rolling road as I can not fo the life of me get my pinto to idle
right?

We have a drive out once a month, always the first Monday. Keep an eye on the 'Clubs & Events' section....
....or drop me a U2U with your email address and we'll add you to the email circulation for any events we organise.
We try to head for all points of the compass and have been all over this Summer.
Do a search for JAG (username) in the 'Clubs & Events' section and you will find all the details of our runs and some photos too

Greetings from Hall Green,
If you see an orange MK Indy on a nice rain-free evening, that would probably be me.
Hoping to make it to the next run, but if anyone fancies an impromptu evening blat and knows a good road or two, then just shout!
