zee- thanks for sorting it.

wildernes- good man, nice mod in drivers door aswell

everyone i missed sorry but good meeting ya'll

oh yeah forgot to tell u's.

who was the last person to leave before me??

coz a blue merc ML wit blacked out windows pulled up next to me when i was putting the address in sat nav to leave, pulled up near my drivers side and my window was down and music on.

ML's passenger window rolls down and a women says,
"excuse me im a off duty police officer, could you tell me what you and all those other cars were doing on this car park? is it illegal street racing?"

me- "we are just meeting here to go get some food," its not street racing"!!

women- "are you sure"

me-(starting to get annoyed coz she interupted my music) "yes IM SURE"

women- ok then i'll take your word for it. by the way im not really a police officer. but do you all race?"

me- "i already told u?"

women laughs and drives off out car park i follow and she pulls over and waves me past her............. never followed me though.

weird eh?

nice merc though, had foreign plates on it

you just atract the laydeez mate

What a fantastic meet!!!!

Really, really chuffed that everyone turned up - there were LOADs of us!!!!

Good to meet Gus and Matt McNally- The regulars as always were there including John, Harty, Dave, Chris, Mr. Wild, Ifraz and Si....

It was good to see Mitch for a while too.... Oh and I still can't believe Alex turned up - that was ace!!!

Food was good (shame about the soft drinks eh)? Oh - and remember people, we are officially a fire hazard.....

For those that came to Notts - hope you enjoyed the "circuit"! I think we turned a few heads chaps......... We need the piccies quick peeps - so get them posted!

Bring on the 3rd MMM..............

I think you can start to call it a MEGA Midland Meet now.

Had a great time, very good turn out. Circuit was busy as always and the Goose Fair was good as well.

Goose Fair ?

[quote name='Chris Shipley' date='Mar 3 2003, 09:05 AM']Goose Fair ?[/quote]
People moved obn from the circuit in Notts Chris to a place called the Goose Fair - a huige car park just lined with cars..... some nice motors too.......!

Talking of car parks,driving back through Stoke at about 11 o'clock went past Sainsbury's and the carpark was full of cars and people.I feel a mini meet coming on

[quote name='Chris Shipley' date='Mar 3 2003, 09:05 AM']Goose Fair ?[/quote]
Goose fair is the big open car park where lots of cars turn up for burn outs etc. It's called Goose fair because there is a big annual fair there. We were there for about an hour...maybe a bit longer. Saw a few attempted wheel spinnning and an MR2 who was really going for it

We'll have to take you there next time

[quote name='Chris Shipley' date='Mar 3 2003, 09:05 AM']Goose Fair ?[/quote]
Oh...just seen Zee has already filled you in

yeah man top nite.

i'll try stay longer next time.

wildernes- that women was weird, dunno whethere she was a copper or not but suspicious in a Ml blacked out with foreign plates

Should have stayed she could have been fun

Haven't you heard Mitch that in Derby and Nottingham all the "Ladies of the Night" run ML's

[quote name='wildrnes' date='Mar 3 2003, 10:16 AM']Should have stayed she could have been fun[/quote]
no she couldn't

u wouldn't say that if you saw her!!!!

no wonder she had darkened windows.

she was too old n e ways, must of been over 34

[quote name='Playa' date='Mar 3 2003, 10:21 AM']she was too old n e ways, must of been over 34[/quote]

Would love to have gone round the circuit a couple of times!! But on the way home had some great fun with a 323 ci on the M1 South bound - thank heavens for the Geodessy speed camera detector we both knew when to stamp the brakes on!!

Cheers

Si

so everyone had a good nite then. good stuff.

was u winning the beemer si??

and 34 is old. 14yrs older than me

ifraz good to meet u 2 mate. did u put the new grill on???

hey when u guys left to go get food how come u went out the retail park, didn't u c the 'yellow arches' across from us coz i bet u ended up there................hahaha. from what i hear some members are MC Donalds fiends....

We went to Pizza Hut

[quote name='Playa' date='Mar 3 2003, 03:03 PM']ifraz good to meet u 2 mate. did u put the new grill on???[/quote]
Yes, fitted the grill nicely and it looks sweet! Although I lost one of the screw/clip

Now...not sure if I want to de-batch it. Does look good with the badge and without it.

What do you guys think If I suggested spraying the L badge in black to match the mesh grill. This way I can leave the badge and not have it showing so much. Only polite answers please....

do u mean taking the whole L badge from the front or do u mean de-badging as in taking the rear lexus and IS200 off like i've done.??

i did the last one and put gold badges on it, looks good.

did it fit ok with a clip missing??

pizza hut eh, could do wit a pizza right bout now

I'm talking about the L badge on the front grill..

Did fit ok without the missing clip. It's a bit loose, but secure enough

Well guys,

What a top night. Wish I could have stayed longer, but like Si, my pass was running out. Got back before 11 though, so will be allowed out again Just wish my other half showed as much enthusiasm as Johnny's other half!

Nice to meet some new faces: Playa, Alex, Matt, Zee. Thanks for the ride Zee, It has given me more food for thought . Alex, your exhuasts look great, and what a sound I was following you into Nottingham, and could hear them even with my windows closed. Ifraz, the grill looked great. Once that spoiler is on and the wheels sorted, you will have one tidy car

Hey thanks Gus Good to see you again. I see you're getting plenty of ideas...your car may look totally different the next time we meet

good stuff ifraz. if its secure then dnt matter bout the other clip.

Hi Guys,

What a great turnout........

Good to see you all

Sorry I left early and missed Pitza Hut. My kids are so enthusiastic about Lexus cars I carnt leave home without them and school today ment I had to leave when I did.

Pitty I was the only GS there, but sometimes its good to be the only one...........

As I was the very last to leave (after Playa) as we went to Mac's, the woman at 34 was just about the age I like them, and even with 3 kids in the car the Lexus left her standing. Would have liked to see her face behind thoses windows

I think you'll find it was me Mitch who did your badges an grille,remember

sportie u raced her?? so u saw the merc nice cars but slow, prefer ML's to a RX

yeah soz chris, credit where credit is due.

CHRIS de-badged my car and put the gold badges on the rear and on the sports grill. thanks


dave- what 0-60mph do you get from the GS then.

0- 60mph 5.8 sec :

Just like to say I had a great time up in the midlands today. It was worth the drive. Nice meeting up with some of you again, and also nice to meet some new faces.
If I can't source the 19" antares wheel I've got plans for some new alloys. Andy has an idea of what i want I think.
Piccies of the petrol station will be up soon.
