N Lancs/Cumbria anyone?
Discussion
Hi folks, been posting for a while on the SP & L thread, (upset a few people, oops), and I was wondering if there's anybody up in my neck of the woods. I live in Morecambe, (I know, somebody has to), and have just bought a new car that could do with a bit of exercise, so are there any local PH'ers that might like to get together sometime.
Car is a Vindicator Sprint(mk1) currently with a 2 ltr pinto, needs a bit of work, but drives OK.

The Vindicator Great name! There's a V8 version in the classifieds at the mo, no pics though.
Maybe when Blue Two is sorted, he'll be called The Equaliser

I test drove that one, after 5 mins I was deaf, I SAID AFTER 5 MINUTES I WAS DEAF. The biggest problem with that one was the oil pressure (5psi idle, 20psi running
). Mines only got a humble 2ltr pinto in fairly standard trim, with standard carb, and a not too clever exhaust. Doesn't like to rev, but pulls like a train 2000-4000rpm.
Have plans for future developments, when finances allow. Best thing about mine is the fact that it's got an XR4i rear axle set up, which means disc brakes all round, and a LSD!
We could do with a North Lancs getogether somewhere, reasonably central to all of us, and somewhere near to Preston, with a reasonable carpark seems to be the right ball park, any ideas? Or perhaps somewhere on the A6 between Garstang and Preston, for reasonable access for folks coming in from Blackpool?
I await suggestions.

If it flies in a straight line, as the crow flies I'm 20 odd miles inland due East of Morecambe (not in N Lancs or Cumbria though).
I haven't been for months, but a group of VXs and Lotuses meet at The Phantom Winger, 398 Garstang Rd, Preston, Lancashire, PR3 5JE. The car park's a reasonable size.

sounds like a plan, when, what time of month, anyone else up for it, or any other suggestions?
