CLUB MEET.
Robert Ryan - 28/8/07 at 08:26 PM

Would people be interested in a MNR Northern Club meeting for a photo shoot/ barbeque, on a weekend this year or next. We could link it to an event or have our own. It would be nice to see some of the cars together. As I don’t know where people are located we need to find a central point. We have 2 MNR cars from Hartlepool and 2 with other kit would come along. If we traveled around 50/60 miles we could be in Wetherby, Harrogate, Ripon/ York area. Sorry to all the people in other area’s would love to sort a world wide event just to far to travel.
Alternately we could arrange a 1 night stop over with a run out on the night for next year. It will give people plenty of time to book a holiday in at work and save some money to buy the drinks at the bar on the night.

I do like the sound of the barbeque at MNR.
I know it's a fair way for me to get there but I might be able to persuade my dearest to attend.

Once my Kit arrives (end of Sept) and ive built the car (hopefully by next spring/summer) ill be up for as many outings / meets as i can get to


Robert Ryan - 28/8/07 at 09:02 PM

I think it would be a good opportunity to meet other builders who have gone through the nightmare SVA. So even if people have not finished I would still think it would be a great way of getting advice on the build and getting through the SVA.

What colour did you go for Davey

Ive gone for Yellow Bodywork, and Full carbon upgrade pack. front & back wings & transmision tunnel in Carbon / Black. also got the Carbon dash. should look good with the Team dynamics Race 1.2 in black too

Same here, mines ready early Oct, hope to have it on the road next year then getting to meetings.


Dillinger1977 - 29/8/07 at 07:35 AM

i'd be up for that


bitsilly - 29/8/07 at 08:07 AM

What about having it at a place we could use the cars, like a track or airfield? Llandow near me are happy to host that sort of thing cheaply but Cardiff is a little out of the way by the sounds of it.
I guess that would involve non returnable deposits?
Great idea though.


smart51 - 29/8/07 at 08:25 AM

Curborough near Lichfield is a sprint circuit that is cheap to rent. Not a full on circuit but that's not the idea of a sprint.


Dillinger1977 - 29/8/07 at 08:29 AM

atm i'd be happy enough with the barby, since mine is running a tad limp.. no tracking for me yet!


Krismc - 29/8/07 at 06:51 PM

2 Vortx..iiees in newcastle, one 50 percent and the other 95 percent (just looking for sumone to tune my megasquirt) and ill be there!!


Robert Ryan - 29/8/07 at 09:03 PM

It looks like it would need to be next year to give people time to finish building. I think Lee from hartlepool has bought one that will make 3 hear. I will look at some local events for next year and see what our options are.

There will always be people still building, unless MNR stop selling kits.


Dillinger1977 - 30/8/07 at 08:21 PM

hooray, a track meet might be in order after all. Cocktail sticks REMOVED from carbs, and it goes like the proverbial clappers!
stupid instructions... bah!

they do sound good at full chat dont they?


Agriv8 - 30/8/07 at 10:52 PM

Yup I'll be there.

Sleep, wife, Rug rat, work, colic, nappies, front end rebuild, washing, fit new front arches, cleaning, finalise EFi upgrade, cooking, rolling road session, get ready for donington.

PS not moaning - loving every minute of this parenting ( read trying to be a responsible adult / parent !!!!! ) - just sat and given junior his final bottle ( hopfully !! ) burped him and hes just laid on my chest and fallen to sleep ( ahhh ) - just got to slip him into his cot Job Done !!

DarrenW - 31/8/07 at 10:59 AM

Rob, i believe there is another MNR between Bishop Auckland and Crook. Ive not managed to track him down yet but do know one of his mates.


Robert Ryan - 31/8/07 at 06:31 PM

Hi Darran
Kurt has just moved up your way. He should be online soon.


Robert Ryan - 31/8/07 at 06:40 PM

Thanks for the offer Mark. I am sure we would get a few more cars at your place.

If we looked at next June it would give people plenty of time to book Holidays in.
If you get time could you find out approx, prices for B&B at the pub near you and how many beds would be avalable for a Saturday night.
Cheers Rob.


chockymonster - 31/8/07 at 07:26 PM

SWMBO has agreed to come
Yay


TimC - 31/8/07 at 09:13 PM

Oh cool... all washed down with a night on the beer in Harrogate?
