Save it for the black stuff... OcUK Manchester Meet 3

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 13:36

After a lot of moaning from the likes of several members

p) the Manchester Meet 3 thread is finally making an appearance.

The last 2 meets were a total success if I say so myself, and I want to see this one even better! We want more people attending with more fancy cars, mainly to show those French boys how to do it properly.

Going on from the thread we had a month ago, the date for MM3 is going to be Sunday 19th March. That's just under 4 weeks away.

I'm going to be fancy again this time and prepare hand outs with a few notes on about the route. If people would please read them this time, instead of going the wrong way at junctions meaning I have to chase after them to point them in the right direction :rolleyes:

Meeting place will be the same as the previous two meets...

MAJOR POST UPDATE

Sunday 19th March 2006 - Meet at 11am
M62 Eastbound, Services between J18-J19

The day will go something like this...

Meet up at Service Station, 11am
Introduce yourself, take photos, chat about the day ahead, setting off for lunch at 12pm - Carry on down the M62 coming off at junction 22. Take the left turning *watch out for the cattle grid* and follow it round for a few miles. Enter carpark of 'The Turnpike Inn'
Have lunch and discuss the day ahead, finish meal around 1:30pm
Set off through a small village en route to the 'good roads' - Maps will be provided
After running one lap of the 'circuit', proceed to enter another village. When at the junction, turn right. You'll see the large pub on the corner. Car park just behind it.
Head off for one more run, stopping along the way for photo opportunities just after dead mans junction
At this point, people are free to do as they wish. On the first meet, some of us went back to the 2nd pub for a final drink

So come on, get your names down! I want this meet to be bigger and better than the previous two :cool:

IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING FUEL

The only petrol station is at the services. There are no other stations en route so make sure you have enough for 50ish miles of fast driving.

What a guy! Hope Sam joins you as well, shame he won't bring the Puma though.

Oops, almost forgot.... I'm in!

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 13:42

Ha El, I used to think one side of the carriageway was Eastbound and the other was Westbound

Anyway, it didn't break down on the first meet. I just didn't want to use it incase the battery went flat. Oh, saying that, it did go flat on the second meet. Not to fear though, I'm coming prepared this time!

poke fun at eveyone else.

It was worth it just for the things that we saw

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 13:46

Simon (with the Rover Turbo), any chance you can pull your finger out and come to this. I wanna see TUF!

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 13:47

Good stuff Sam, hope you can make it.

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 13:58

Another southy! See Fox, over in Manc, we do things properly

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 14:00

Pft, any excuse

Simon said:
O, actually my hairwash is the weekend after.

It's my pedicure that date though

You're just scared that my car will be faster than yours

LOL, you dirty buggers! Yes -westy-, you've got a special place in my house.

cymatty, you're just jealous you won't be able to be part of our Saturday night drinking and playing pool activities.

Argh, there are too many Simon's in this thread.

Excellent stuff Goliath. Hopefully this time you'll get to give the RS some beans

In fact, why not bring the GF.

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 14:17

Not even close

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 14:25

lol, I remember it to be something like 7-5... so yeah, you 'TROUNCED' me, but not by much

Nah Si, you're more than welcome to the Saturday night festives. I'll text Tupac and see if he wants to join us.

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 14:25

Goliath said:
Nah. Too much weight

HAHAHA

Let's hope she doesn't see this thread.

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 14:27

Well, if he comes out on Saturday night, there's no reason why we can't beat him into coming the next day.

He lives just around the corner from my new house actually

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 14:40

Oh for gods sake... that's it, the MM3 isn't going to happen! I'm sick of organising something for people to just turn round and take the ******* ****!!!!!! :mad:

Being totally honest, I do believe it was Si who 'hammered' me... or at least tried to. That's the last time I ever go round to his house for a beer and pizza session.

awww, calm down sweety, you can't help it that you're gay.

And you still want to share a room with me?

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 14:44

-westy- said:
room? I thought you meant bed

Errr? Are you being serious?

bad time to post those two words

OMGWTFLOLBBQ!

Nice one Ben. If you're not doing anything on the 'eve of the Manc Meet, feel free to come up to Rochdale and join in with the pre-Manc warm up meet, lol.

Catch me on MSN if you want directions etc

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 15:46

Wow, wicked pics Si! When did you take those?

OMG @ the last pic

Right Si, you can delete those pics from your posts if you want.

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 15:57

Nice one

Lukechad, just go easy on 2 wheels mate. Some of those roads are very bumpy! Don't want another accident

Come on Enfield! Westy is coming, you can make it! What car do you have now?

Mark, if I send you some MM1 meet pics, any chance you could put them up?

agw_01 · 22 Feb 2006 at 16:04

Good stuff Mark

I really really want to wait at dead mans junction with a video camera. Will see if I can ask the nice people to let me do so this time

Nice one Gaz. That didn't take you long.
