Hi Rob,

Welcome to the rare breeds society. For a while I thought the whole club was for IS 200s but there are some others out there. It will be nice not to be the only GS300 for a change if our liverpudlian contingent makes it. Nothing against ISs you understand but, they do get stuck between my teeth and I once had one bring out a filling. still, breakfast is the most inportnat meal of the day...

*Loz ducks the hail of IS owner bullets raining down in retaliaiton* Only kidding guys, if I had taste, I'd be dangerous....now where did I put my cord flares? Just got time to tie dye them before tomorrows meet!

Any MkI owners willing to make an old man happy by letting him have sit in it?

SPEED CAMERAS ON ROADWORKS - LYMM VIADUCT

Just a note for people travelling South (M6) over the Lymm bridge roadworks;

(round J21 area), there is a 40mph speed restriction throughout the roadworks, on both sides of the carriageway, and this is enforced by number plate recognition video cameras.

Anybody not aware how these work, they film you at set points at the beginning & end of a measured section, and then give an average speed between the 2 points. Hence slowing down and smiling when yoe spot a yellow camera and speeding up again won't work.

Keep it to 40 and turn-up the tunes.

Regards,

Steve J.

[SteJ]

Matthew,

As long as he doesn't sit in the back and start booting the driver's seat like my normal back seat passengers, he's welcome to have a go in mine.

[SteJ]

Anybody fancy a meet-up at Haydock Island (J23 M6) and then cruising across to Chester?

[HVPF]

I live in Standish Jnc27 M6, Was gonna head to Stockport then over to Chester...

[SteJ]

Yeah, I clocked the Stockport meet. fancy extra half hour in bed though, and am most likely to have the wife and bin-lids in tow, awaiting transportation to Cheshire Oaks. Don't think they'd be too keen on playing musical-motorways.

I'm over at Lowton, Leigh.

[randyreindeer]

looks like im going to make it tomorrow. Now please dont laugh [to loud] at my sad Lexter. It represents the the other side of Lexi ownership. The cheap and cheerful side. I know it was sprayed by Stevie wonder and my dearly beloved has added her unique styling marks but my good news is that via an ownership trace by Swansea, I now have [courtesy of the previous owner] a full Lexus service history book stamped up by Bolton and liverpool..... Im sorry but I am well chuffed. :P :P :D :D

See ya in morning

[SteJ]

Look forward to meeting you mate. Nice result with the history.

[Maz]

Loz and Mac, if i can get the car out from the road work at my house, i will be set off around 9am, shall we all meet at Hertshead moor services on M62 between J26 and J25? i will wash car at service i think... hope to see you then, i will give you guys a call to let you know if im going or not, finger cross

[randyreindeer]

Cheers steve.

Gonna do my train spotter impression and take some pictures of your LPG if I may..... but im leaving the yellow caggoole [is that how its spelt?] at home...............or maybe in the boot. :P

[SteJ]

Not heard that word for ages!!

My guess is that if you do know how to spell it, you must have owned one at some stage to read the lable, so I'd hope it's incorrect.

Strictly duffle-coats only affair.

[UltraViolet]

I have no idea of where this place is - and no idea of my way over on the wrong side of the Pennines ....... but with the sun shining - I fancy a run out in one of my babies ....... would you fellas mind a girly coming along in something a tad sporty?

Anyone fancy picking me up en-route?

[Matthew_McNally]

more than welcome Sammy - sure one of the guys will be a gentleman and escort you.

If you need directions, then they are basically

Get thyself to the M56 - M6 Junction 20 is the easiest description.

From there - drive down to junction 15.

There are two exits - first one read M53 Chester, then 100 yards later M53 Birkenhead / Wallasey - you want the second exit.

stay in the left hand lane, as you will only be on the M53 for 400 yards - as soon as you join, bear left off on the A5117.

At the roundabout at the bottom of the exit - third exit is the one you want - you'll see Lexus Chester as you come around.

Take that third exit off the roundabout, then take first right, loop around past the Skoda dealership, into Lexus Chester

see you there!

[UltraViolet]

Coming from York way - so M62 ....... I assume then M62 to M6, leave M6 at j15 ......

How long will it take (at legal speeds) and what time will people be arriving - don't want you to have all disappeared when I get there!!!

I won't be refused entry if I come in a Honda will I ???

[Matthew_McNally]

Coming from York way - so M62 ....... I assume then M62 to M6, leave M6 at j15 ......

thats the "safest" way - easiest to give directions for.

you could come through Warrington (or even Liverpool), but the directions are much more complex - stick to M62/ M6 / M56 / M53.

coming that way, junction 20 on the M6 - and keep right for the M56.

junction 20 off the M6

junction 15 off the M56
