Daz_Wilko Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) Right, now i have my car i can come to meets but now ive got my car there is no meet near me and i know alot of people on here are from the teeside area.what im suggesting is just a local meet somewhere (like a previous meet at a carpark near the transporter bridge) and just get to know each other, go for a little cruise, get some food, maybe a pint.Just wondering who would be intrested in this and if anybody is we can sort the dates out, i was thinking some time in the next few weeks.Anybody up for this? style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":huh:" border="0" alt="huh.gif" /> Edited June 20, 2007 by Daz_Wilko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Sounds good to me.Isn't this Buttertubs roadtrip supposed to be happening soon? Have to decide some dates for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz_Wilko Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 i dunno about Buttertubs lol, never heard of it. if you can find out the dates to that ill probably go along if its local? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 I'd never heard of it either. It's in Yorkshire somewhere, supposed to be some amazing roads on the way there.Still, a mini meet sounds good anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz_Wilko Posted June 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 aye im sure a few more people wile come down, i could probably get dodson down easy enough. and maybe phil1.0arosa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardaft Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 (edited) Yeah id go, i think the buttertubs would be a good drive out.It depends when people are free as to dates. Phill you usually work Sundays dont you? Maybe a Saturday then?What about Saturday 22nd of June? We could meet up at ........ erm ......., i dont know, but somewhere central(ish) near middlesbrough, seems to be a lot of people from that area.The first place that popped into my head wad Teesside Park but thats a bit boring. So what about the Tees Barage? on the curvey carpark?, could say meet there for about 10.00 - 10.30? Then go on the buttertubs pass from there.What does anyone think to that? just some ideas style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Will be good to get some arosa owners going for a change too style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> Chris Edited June 14, 2007 by cardaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_273 Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Well I was thinking we could have another local mini meet say at the transporter, meet new faces etc. like Daz_Wilko says, and then make arrangements for the buttertubs drive out a couple of weeks after that, maybe giving people more notice.Could have a mini meet this or next weekend??

We could have a local mini meet to see everyone first though.We need the arosa owners there style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> Edited June 14, 2007 by cardaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 there are a few north east meets. just got to know where to look. www.demonvw.co.uk/forum look for the section five organised ones at the baltic. A nice wide variety turn up. more loops would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philplop Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Cardaft, Saturday the 22nd does not exist!Just been thinking today, and I think Hartlepool Marina would be a good place for a meet in the summer, plenty of space to park and a few bars with outdoor seating, be nice if the weather's good.If it's just a meet rather than a run out, can always do Sunday afternoons during the summer if that's better for other people.Next weekend sounds good to me.You know me though, I'm easy like a Sunday morning, or afternoon...

Then we can arrange a run out somewhere, for another time. Rather than just planning a meet for later in the summer and it dragging on. @ Daz_Wilko, thats a shame, is it the pedal box thats failed? Hope you get it fiexed soon, we need some arosas at the next meet style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daz_Wilko Posted June 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 tbh i dont have a clue whats wrong with it i just went to change gear and it when i put the clutch in it was like kicking air!, think the cable wire may have snapped as i can push the clutch with my little finger fairly easy lol. im gunna have to drive it to my step dads garage 5 mile away but only 1 mile is tricky as its got a few round abouts and junctions the rest of it is motor way mileage so hopefully will be orite, ill have the mother following me behind so fingers crossed.

jon_273 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) Well next weekend sounds good for me, I'll turn up anyway.

cardaft Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) I'll plan the Yorkshire Dales meet, because there's some cracking roads down there - Some lowered cars will no doubt bottom out at speed on some of the roads I've got in mind like!Well me and Jon_273 were going to have a trip out over that way one weekend and see where we could go, but if you think you know a nice route then we can do that. Although there is a better/more interesting way other than the A689 as you mentioned on another thread.Well next weekend sounds good for me, I'll turn up anyway. I think we should arrange the buttertubs drive for a few weeks after that, hopefully the Newcastle lot will get themselves down for it!EDIT: Chris shall we meet at the barrage car park (the one just before the entrance to David Lloyds)??Yep me and jon will meet at the teesbarage next saturday. Say about 10.30 to 11.00? in the carpark closest to the barrage?, the one on the left before you come to the barriers to another carpark.So we will be there, if anyone local wants to come along and just say hi then we will be there. id be up for a mini meet, buh it depends on work and the state of my car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> whats happened to your car lol. Nice one, so we setting the date for next saturday then? at the barrage ?my car will be fixed for then deffinately style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />Good, have to have some arosa owners there, show these lupo people what its all about style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" /> Ill turn up too if my car isnt in another body shopOh yes do you still want the phone number for the bodyshop i know? ill get it for you tomorrow.Chris Edited June 16, 2007 by cardaft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
