Leicester and Nuneaton Locosters Meet
Right, I've been prompted, so i'll give it a go!
Who from the Leicester and Nuneaton area would be interested in a Locosters type meet?
My current thoughts on venue are The Bulls Head on the A47:
Bulls Head Map
It has a big car park, is pretty much in the middle of the two towns and is petrol friendly.
That last could also be a small issue in that maybe we don't want to meet on the same night as another gang, and I know that a couple of
biker's groups and the local NSRA (nat. street rods assoc.) meet there too.
Having said that, we can sort that by trial and error!
How about the fortnightly on Wednesdays from 7:30pm...............start next week???
Who's up for it???????????
PS they keep decent beer, so try and come 2 to a car!!!

I'm up for it, though next week is a no go. that said a wednesday would be the best day for me . . . It'd be great if someone in a 7 could
give me a lift . . . . would make a change from my battle damaged 306 . . .
Regards
Matt

Blimey! This is spooky!! I was going to do this post at the weekend!!
A small group of us, had already got this in mind and had discussed partly from from the local Stoneleigh convoy! (Was it one of these guys that was
the prompt?)The Bulls Head was the initial suggestion, but I like yourself was concerned it might clash and was going to pop by tomorrow night and ask
the gaffer what was on and when?
Personally I would prefer a Thursday, and even if it was only once a month it would be good, I know there is potentially about 20 or so very local
without even trying.
It's a great idea and I'm all for it, even if you did post it first But hey, you can get the first round in 
I'll make sure that the peoples I know get this post and we'll see what happens. I'm happy to pool email addresses etc
Regards
Colin

I haven't got a car built or even started for that matter but I would definitely be interested. Wife doesn't drive and I like the odd
pint, wonder if the buses run through there.

I'm sure someone would pick you up.
I could if I'm SWIMBOless but she'd like to play too if she's free.
Sorry , did I read no SWIMBO's

Being about as central as central can be and only about 10 mins from the M1-M69 junction I'm sure it could attract from quite a wide area. I can
think of a couple of places nearby with even bigger car parks if nessesary

LOL great minds eh!!!!!!!
It was cadebytiger that prompted me (he's an old schoolmate of my brother's), I mentioned about a month ago sorting out a meetup but have
only just got round to it (prompted further by getting my car on the road!)
I'll maybe have to have a vote on the day to have it, as I've had a "can't do thursday" from someone else. I could do a
poll on here I suppose!

However, when eventually I can make it, Wednesday evenings would be ok.

I wouldn't say no to a lift if someone is going by Hinckley. I hate to admit it but I have never even been in a Se7en of any type except I sat
in a westfield at Stoneleigh

Both Reman and myself are within a mile or two of Hinckley, come along to the meet at the pub and you'll get the chance for a run out in a few
different options!

May not make next week now as something at work which had to be done by wednesday is now due on Thursday. With the way work always expands to fill
time I'll probably be doing it Wednesday night now instead of Tuesday.
But generally wednesdays should be ok.

Just been out for the first proper blast this evening..........................hmmm its fairly quick!
Didn't necessarily feel it to me, but then nothing ever really does when you are driving it. Certainly sub 4 secs to 60 though!
Here's Bec with a "passenger's view! " : you can tell somethings is fast when you can't breath anymore!! it definitely
needs a screen of some sort, it made my eyes run a lot!
