Any Pistonheads in the North East?

[minimax]

Any pistonheads in the north east? keep hearing 'bout these cambridge chaps having a meet & can't help thinking that we should have one too! After all there are so many wicked driving roads round here!

[funkihamsta]

Nah, they still point at cars oop there..

[Tony Hall]

Yes.
Cramlington.
Where are you minimax?
Bog off funkihamsta or I'll set me pigeons on yer. (or me killer whippet)

[CraigAlsop]

You mean Wick? Thurso?

Oh, I guess you probably mean England..... What we think of as the "Deep South" here in Scotland

I think there's various PHers from Newcastle

[Superflid]

Ah, Thurso. Furthest North (mainland) kebab shop in Britain. Bloody good kebab too! (But hardly worth the drive unless you happen to be in the area anyway)

[Pinkney]

In the 'wastelands' of the NE - Middlesbrough . Very few tvrs in this neck of the woods and I suspect even fewer PH'ers. From what I remember reading there are quite a few in the Newcastle/Tyneside area, several in Darlington and one in Billingham! Pretty small meet then!

ay oop mr hall I'm in stocksfield near hexham - are there many of our kind round your way? Not many up here - all old g*ts with sensible estates! Any decent roads you recommend?

[pbrettle]

Currently live in Newmarket so I am one of those "cambridge lot", but from the 'boro originally. I think that I need a refresher in the lingo (and see me mam) so if it fits might pop in any meet.... though 'boro or surrounding area would be good.

Cheers,

Paul

I'm newcastle originally - now afflicted with uni in sunderland (oh *how* much fun! )

I've seen a good few TVR's round the n/east, probably all come from HHC hehe! (sadly, I'm not an owner yet - being on a yearly income of a bag of pasta!)

[minimax]

I hear you CB! - currently at newcastle uni & living off beer & bensons cos no cash for food - bl**dy mini keeps eating parts! If anyone can suggest a decent place fairly central (mackemland? durham?) then I'm up for a meet

[robp]

Hello minimax!

How is you, long time no hear

[Byff]

I'm from South Tyneside.

You'll see my Cerb blasting around most weekends.

[mannginger]

I'm in Newcastle. Although no car at present, I would have to attend any meeting via the vageries of the public transport system, still it might be nice to finally meet some other PH'ers.

[anonymous-user]

I'm in Darlo but I'm not sure the Jag qualifies me as a pistonheader any more!

Pinkney - saw your cerb down at the UGC a few weeks back. Aren't you worried parking it there? I was paranoid when I left the Griff while I went to the cinema.

BTW: There are a fair few TVRs rumbling around here

[Wighty]

I'm from Newcastle, but currently live and work in the Big Smoke! If someone organised a meet I would come back to the North East for it!

[Tony Hall]

Possibly up for a meet, though the TVR Owners meet on the last Tuesday of the month at the Three Mile (Gosforth) is pretty good with plenty of room for more.
Stocksfield, Minimax? Thats a bit posh for us Cram lads! Me marra runs Stockfield Car Care Centre (used to be Miniline), up in Mickley. Probably a good supply of Mini bits and think his rates are reasonable.

[shoggoth1]

I work in Newcastle.

I'm always slightly amused by what constitutes 'the North' when meets are being organised.

Cheers.

[minimax]

Tony you mean Graham? Also has a garage in Prudhoe as well? Nice bloke - got some tires from him a while back, did me a good deal. I work for the rock so three mile is but 2 mins cain after work on a tues so might put my head in possibly if you're there?

[CB-Dave]

Aye, the Three Mile isn't that far from me either - certainly not with four-wheeled propulsion at my bequest!

[mannginger]

Just a couple of quick questions about the meet on the last Tuesday of the month in Gosforth.

What time does the meet generally happen? Is it a daytime or evening thing? I don't unfortunately have a TVR (I wish) but I would love to come for a goggle and listen. (That is if non TVR drivers are welcome!)

Also I am not familiar with the venue - any chance of a map/directions at all?

Many Thanks in advance.
