North Easterners

[jimb0]

Who else is up here in the North East (Northumberland, Tyne & Wear, Teesside, North Yorks)?

And which flavour do you drive (Monaro, HSV, etc)?

Me - '04 Vauxhall Monaro CV8 - Morpeth

Anyone else????

[Well_Fans]

not quite the north east but you're the closest monaro owners on here to me. be glad to head down some weekend if you organise a meeting. Was meant to go to Jagsy's day and got my weekends mixed up :-( Drive an 04 plate standard(for now) model.

I have got Julian's (2002) HSV Monaro GTS, and a (2001) Commodore. Girlfriend has a Corsa, so wants to start a corsa club now, cause everyone just flocks to the HSV.

I am in Newcastle and also in Blyth <- Girlfriend lives there, and spend most of my time there.

Hey Jimb0, is yours black? If so you got spotted by one of the guys kid's here at Tesco's at Kingston Park.

[jimb0]

Nope - red. I think the black one might be tiler's.

I'll come too Bob! Put it in the diary next time

I now live in Nottingham but I am often in Newcastle as my folks still live up there (Wideopen / Gosforth area)

Drive an 04 CV8 in Black

[jimb0]

I'm surprised there aren't more owners from the north east on here. Perhaps the local dealers haven't sold any.

[Well_Fans]

who are you're local dealers - the eejits in Edinburgh? No surprise there then that they haven't sold many.

[jimb0]

No - Boro' - the next one south from Edinburgh...

[shadok]

Jimbo - I know Morpeth past it many times and do the A1 occasionally but only if its late at night, generally avoid it because of all the cameras & 60 limit, yawn! Same as that streach from Aberdeen to Dundee, least thats 70.

I'm in North Yorks(Whitby way),- went to Jagsys' do, on the sunday. Would always be up for joining in on another (Sundays pref).
Have 05 plate (04 Model)red cv8 with 05 bonnet on, plus AP brakes and Wortec sport pack (remap/intake/pipes)
Bought mine in Edinburgh after not able to even come close to a deal with the dealer in boro - and that was after spending an entire day in the dealer trying to sort things out. (everytime we came close (dealer principle was blamed) they moved the goalposts). Still use them for servicing - 6/10. Only took one 5min phone call to buy it from Belmont. I found them ok, but have read Scot owners (who use them more often)less than impressed.
To be fair, it was only Boro dealer having them in that prompted me into getting one, was on my way to the match and kept on seeing them, plus various reports in press etc...

I think John22 lives just outside York - red 06 vxr

[The Jackel]

The Black one at Tesco's was mine probably was up there for the Bank Holiday weekend - Did it have a rear spoiler

If fact I think I ended up there twice at the weekend

Sorry about that

[Well_Fans]

well England will be out by the end of the 2nd week anyways so what does it matter

[barking]

Is that why Scotland decided not to qualify

[Well_Fans]

and which country had to arrange another fixture at their national stadium so the last time they played there wasn't a defeat to Scotland There's actually an argument up here for you to win the world cup just so we can come down there and beat you the way we did in '67 making us the unofficial world champs probably the only chance we've ever got of a title!!! At least if you won it again we wouldn't have to listen to the commentators going on about 66 all the time when we're watching football on the tv. We could have another date to groan at

[barking]

You have a point about 66. But could you remind me when Scotland actually won a world cup so that we can claim it as British

[V2HSV]

Currently in Hull in a hotel tonight and tomorrow.
then up to South Queensferry (Scotland) for weekend....port edgar marina.

HSV GTS 300 (2001 VX)

Normally in Gloucester, but I'm up here a lot working with BAESystems Hawk Project...I'm the Hawk Avionics Programme Manager for Smiths Aerospace.


If there's a Hull based Monaro/HSV meet at a local HULL pub then I could be there tomorrow or mainly wed/thurs night most weeks!

Not usually with the HSV, but sometimes I bring it up.

Cheers
