Anyone fancy one?

Now that the weather isn't quite so grotty, I for one feel the need to get out into the Yorkshire Dales for a burn around some twisty lanes, frighten some sheep and some locals and then retire to a local hostelry (hopefully one without pentagrams on the floor and shifty looking customers) and slump in front of a roaring log fire..

any takers?..

suggested dates, venues etc below please..

 

[sweeny]

Count me in - no idea about venue. Middle of Feb as a suggested date?

If I still have a MINI by the time you meet up (possibly won't beyond 30th Jan), count me in too.

Hi Colin,

It's unlikely to be before Mid Feb, going by the general 'unreadiness' of Yorkshire folk the last time I tried to arrange a meet..

If you've off-loaded your car by then will you be getting another?..and could you be driving a loan MINI by then anyway?..

 

[MINIMARK]

The fun to be had.

Just think a loan car, how nice to drive a car thats not yours.

neway, the meet sounds good! I do enjoy driving fast, so keep us informed would ya.

Oi!

Oi! I resemble that comment!

Please keep me posted. If I'm Leeds-based when the meet happens, I'll be there (the meet, not Leeds) (unless the meet *is* in Leeds). If I'm Glasgow-based, I won't be there (neither the meet nor Leeds).

I hope that's clear.

Clear as my windsreen Jonathon..

'Lighbody' is arranging a meet in the Glasgow area if you can't do Yorkshire. I'm leaning towards arranging this for mid Feb at the moment to give people time to get sorted. Possible venue so far is Reeth (I've never been but apparently the journey there is particularly twist-turny and ends at a great pub!) We'd have to congregate somewhere before-hand though, so I'll have a browse on multimap.com and see if there's anywhere suitably public for us to show off!..

Yorkshire meeting

Hi Dogger
16th or 17 of Feb. is my next weekend off.

I was thinking of a trip up past Patley Bridge, to a nice pub/restaurant and then onto the Black sheep brewery - Interested ??

If enough people are interested I was thinking of doing a treasure hunt - £X to enter with a prize and some money going to Paul to run this site ??!?!

Of course Geoff! We MINI owners are a friendly crowd providing you don't talk about drifting..

You can park your little yellow peril next to mine!

 

[Jonathan]

Count me in

Good. I hope to be there. I will make sure Buttercup has had a good wash!

Just getting this back to the top!

Chris - could you post some general times/directions/costs if you get chance, for those of us who only have intermittent e-mail access?
