PS. Whats with the black bonnet on the Clio?!?

Its Carbon Fibre


Each to their own i suppose.... never understood it myself - the V6 looks so good with all body panels the same colour. Well if a manchester cab can pull it off....

Now the M3 CSL with its standard carbon roof, now i like that.

Something a bit different, also carbon fibre side pods and black 18' compomotive wheels.

You may agree when you see it or disagree. Personal tastes i suppose.

EXACTLY.... each to their own.

Its been a good weekend around here ain't it? Managed to get the Noble out this afternoon for a quick blast... lots of fun!

Test drove one of the latest Impreza WRX 2.5's yesterday, as a possible replacement for the Clio Cup. Good all-rounder is the best description i can give. The new engine has lost some of the warble of the old 2.0 but is alot more flexible... the handling is also pretty spot. Gave me some food for thought anyhow.

Anyone else been up to much this weekend?

Not much - spent a long time cleaning and waxing the Saab - so I guess the weather will turn real bad any moment now...

Picked the v6 from a specialist, had the cambelt service done and a few other bits and pieces.

Yes its been an awesome weekend, went out for a quick spin in the vee this afternoon. You will have to bring the noble round - that will get the neigbours twitching. Lol.

Hi Guys!

Good to meet so many of you last night.... Good location (nice, big, safe carpark!), some tasty motors and interesting conversation.

I never realised there we so many PHers in the area.

Let do it again sometime!

Regards,

Craig

PS. The greasy roads proved 'entertaining' on the way home... especially in the Noble around the lanes!

Yes - good for me too - nice to talk to those of you I managed to. With so many turning up we should do it again so that we can all get to know the people we didn't chat to last night!

For an inaugural meeting it was great. How many times have you heard all the promises and no begger turns up? Do we want to meet same place or perhaps try The Gingerbread Man, Mkt Drayton in a couple of months? Should be lighter at night and could attract a few Shropshire PH'ers. Open to suggestions and ideas.

Cheers, Bernie.

Thanks all, great to meet so many local PHers. Great idea bernie, keep in touch and we can get something arranged - a couple of months gives simon time to sort his back out so he can get his Noble again laugh

My back if fine thanks mad
But yes, a different venue is fine, The Ginger bread man is good for me.
I am still trying to find out about the heater matrix! Brakes all fixed, was just old fluid, think it had some water contamination.
But yes meets like that do turn into a lonesome pint, It was good that all turned up.
Thanks
