Meeting up for the RR & address
Turbo Mini Forums

Right then, who's coming the night before, whos coming on the day to start with :)

Not 100% sure on the start time but there is a decent sized out of town shopping place to meet at just down the road on the day. Its just off the ring road which should make things fairly simple. There's also a halfords if anybody breaks anything on the way plus a maccy's for those they need topping up!

A shell garage is another 5mins away for those that want their optimax

Meet point here is once at 8:55, leaving to MBE at 9

Then il pop up again at 10:00 to collect any more people, or you can make your way straight to the RR.

If anybody wants to meet at mine, Knaith Park, look for the mini van on the side of the road, be leaving at 8:30 on the dot

Its a small village so finding it wont be a problem

Outer Circle Retail Pk, Wragby Rd
Lincoln
LN2 4QQ

As i said not definate time as yet but i was thinking 10:30 - 11:00 ish. Possibly earlier but i dont think we really need to for the number of cars.

Nope its the other end of town keith, up the hill as per address, you'll come in to the racecourse roundabout from newark way on then carry on round the bypass for a further 3 roundabouts and take a right at that one. Wragby is signposted to the left but you want the one saying lincoln. Then keep going down that road till you get to a big set of lights with a pub on the corner infront of you and take a left, its just on the left.

Yeah there is space for trailers, its on a quiet industrial estate (even quieter on good friday) so there is loads of parking.

We should still be mag featured as dave is doing the write up but the editor hasn't returned my calls as yet!!

Hi Iain,

I'm gonna be coming past your way on the way up to Lincoln.
Are we gonna convoy down to Lincoln??
I assume you'll know the long windy way for the most enjoyment

Yeah the road is really good to lincoln so we can all meet at mine if you like :)

So what is the final decision?

I'm still happy with 10:30 in the Retail Park car park.

Iain, your mobile phone number might be handy too, just in case I get lost or held up.

9 valves, 4 wheel drive, 3 cylinders, 1 turbo, which got nicked

Ill check with mike tomorrow what the time will be but im sure 10:30 will be fine.

Thats if we've got enough cars going! Everybody seems to keep dropping out! lol!

Alex

AlexF

i was going to ask for your moby number 2 iain incase im late or break down thats if you dont mind if you dont wanna give it to me then thats ok

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

Got the car into the welding specialist earlier, i've tasked him with getting it mot'd by thursday! Hope he can do it, otherwise i'll have to come along and spectate on friday!

Yeah ill pm my number out a little later and post the meeting time.

10 was about the min, there isn't really one but the fewer we get the more it costs sort of thing.

:)

Does anyone have a Digital Video camera that they can bring along to the RR day? My digital camera can take short videos, but they're not the best quality!

Cheers

Im bringing my camera but again its not brilliant quality. I cant bring my DV as my folks have taken it on holiday!

Damn Them!! *shakes fist* hehe
I bought a tripod today, so should get some decent looking pics

ill prob meet up at the shopping place or go straight to mbe if im late

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

No probs. they're not far apart at all.

Car is loaded up on the trailer mate, had a slight issue with the oil gauge pipe leaking, it didn't have a rubber seal fitted and empited a pint full of oil on the drive!!

Managed to sort it using an old pipe!! Them bumpers wouldn't fit either, maybe they are clubman ones???

See you in the morning!

Nice one, think clubby ones are worth a few extra quid!

Yeah see you up there, sure you'll hear us all coming!!!
