Feb South West meet

Big things grow from acorns !!!

Last month it was just me and Robmulti This month it may be a couple more then so on and so forth. We will get a monthly meet sorted and it will grow. So if your not sure turn up and be one of the ones that make a difference.

Robmulti, if you have 30mins to spare after can you have a look at my house and give some ideas on what to do re walls etc.

For all others its a chance to talk about cars and other things as well, dont be scared or bashfull were all nice people (especialy since Mark is on hols :lol: :lol: )

Cheers
Dave

Will do our best to be there, and will make sure this event grows.
If we cant get there we will be at the next one.

Cheers,
Neil.

Myself, Nick and Josh will attempt this, weather dependant as I will most probably be on the bike.

Hopefully they will have cleared the roads a bit. The pub is about 2 miles fro mthe motorway but on main roads. At the moment I’m the only one in the street who can go anywhere, the rangie has at last found its calling :lol: .

Claire works at the hospital and as staff cant get in they have the local marine’s going round in trucks picking staff up, they’re even talking about getting the snowcats out :shock:

Well snowed in here in Dorset !! Took me 5 hours to do the 30 miles home from work today! :x

Not sure if we can make it… but will try. If not, definite for next one. 8)

As of now on the Highways agency site:

**"M5 lane closures - Junctions 13 to 14 & 16 to 29

Lane 3 closed in both directions between junctions 13 to 14 and 16 to 29 due to an accumulation of snow and ice. Lanes 2 and 3 closed in both directions between junctions 26 and 27. All other lanes running normally. Access to Taunton Dean services closed northbound due to ice on the entry slip road." **

We won’t be going, see everyone when the weather improves.

I would suggest that given the road conditions if your not local then dont try to make this as I’d hate to see a GTO in a hedge etc. I’ll still go along for those that do make it but if you do then PLEASE be carefull.

We will have antother meet next month.

Hi Dave,

Put us down for the next meet, I dont think will even be able to get out the driveway. Will see you at the next one.

Cheers,
Neil.

Maybe we should all get snow ploughs :lol:

Snow Plough UK owners club :lol:

Russ

thats a good idea :smiley:

Well as expected it was myself and Rob who made it (not a GTO to be seen :smiley: ) The roads were clear but I understand the motorway still had some restrictions on it. Still got some good advice on knocking walls down in my house, Claire’s still not convinced but I’ll do when she’s out so thanks Rob.

Will post up for next months meet in a bit.
