[qwerty]

I'm just gunna keep updating this thread with the date of the upcoming meet.

[wez]

I'll be there, probably in some un-retro tat...
maybe my berlingo with homebrew body mods...
my camera is on charge ready for some snappage

[PandaSelecta]

definitely going to be there

[wez]

just been told by a mate it got closed down, supposedly folks were given written warnings last time they went, saying they cant use the car park any more

[wez]

just found this after a quick googles:

passionford.com/forum/shows-track-days-and-regional-meetings/314864-metro-centre-wednesday-night-cruise.html

half way down page seems to confirm, i'm still gonna go for a looksy

[shlomping]

Technicaly the metro centre(pizza hut) don't want us there anymore but they are finding it very hard to pinpoint one group and telling them to stop it as there isnt an organizer it just happens so my advise is keep turning up (allthough this, i belive is the last one for the year anyway), and more likely than not other people will keep turning up aswell.

I missed last months but the month before they were handing out letters saying we weren't wanted. But as far as i'm concerned i'm heading down there to buy some jeans from the metro centre, a cactus from ikea and a macdonalds and there just happens to be a lot of awesome cars there at the same time!!! ;D

[wez]

sounds good then.

I'll be there with digi cam, if you spot a scruffy hand painted white berlingo with dubious looking side skirts that look like they're made of guttering... that will be I

What times peoples get there for, still about 7ish?

[mym]

i'll be there tonight

was chatting to someone at a meet at north east detailing over the weekend and the story i got was this

they gave out the letters, someone involved the police, the police told them that we are doing nothing wrong, and they were the only ones being illegal by handing out those letters.

how much truth there is in that i'm not sure, but it would be nice to know that the police are on our side for a change!

[PandaSelecta]

I feel ill* but i hope to still come to this. Might be in the panda though, as i needs the musics ;D




*(nothing catching, just my usual chest problems)

Mym - I wouldn`t believe idle chatter or speculation but I know the local Police will only attend if there is the likelihood of a Breach of the Peace which is highly improbable.
When I spoke to the local Inspector a couple of months ago he said it was a matter for the Metro Centre to deal with.
They could issue tickets for parking irregularities or staying over 3 1/2 (?) hours otherwise I can only see them taking out a private injunction against each individual which would probably cost a fortune.
I will be there !

[PandaSelecta]

What time do people usually get there, as i turn up at 6.30pm and some people are already leaving

[mym]

dunno about idle chatter chev, apparently this guy has 3 or 4 american motors so i took it to be more than just idle chatter

apparently the metro centre don't own the car parks, so from what i understand they should have nothing to do with whose there.

sounds senssible to me, but if someone knows more of the story then i'm all ears

[Earth Rocker]

I live not to far so i'll be turning up, oh yes it's stopped raining for now, so lets make it a gud one.

That`s cos they`ve seen you turn up. (only kidding)

[qwerty]

Well we came we saw we conquered!!

Metro Centre security tried to stop old/yank/cool cars from entering the car park. The Police told them off! It was still really really quiet though. Bit of a shame it would have been awesome for the last one of the year to be a big un

[SeanC]

I would have attended, but was too busy trying to sell my CRX and buy a RS2000!! Always next year!

[rooster]

was very quiet tonight, although it means less people saw me turn up in a chitroen c8 since my cars still buggered

[PandaSelecta]

Tried to pop along in the Toledo, but the car has developed quite a bad misfire and has started leaking fuel, so i had to turn back

[wez]

Not many there, but I didnt arrive till late - SWMBO wanted feeding up in a restaurant before i was allowed to play out lol.

Got a few pics on her poops camera, i forgot mine, posted them up here:
