Leighton Buzzard Meet 'n' Beer II
Discussion
Are you going to fit it yourself?
If you need any help....dont call me 
Put the hammer down and step away from the car, put your hands behind your head. I have just had to take the afetnoon off work (shame!) to drive to Ampthill to make a statement about the incident I witnessed at the Fox that night involving a getaway car, a thieving oik and a suitcase.
They have advised in future not to leave cars (particularly nice ones) in the area when dark as it is a hotspot for vandalism and break-ins.
Perhaps a more secure venue is called for.

Hmmmm.... I smell evil-doings. Trace back the trail of lies and deception, through all the fences and sharks and what it the kingpin of the car theivery operations has a nickname of "sheepy"
I'm betting the clapped out XJS is a front, and his garage is full of exotic machinery and racks of stereos. The F50 that was stolen in Europe? I haven't seen sheepy posting much recently... Maybe he had a business trip overseas?
We need a safer venue, how about a pub in Marsh Farm?
Hummmm and Sheepy does always seem to be re-spraying his car different colours? Is anyone up for a daytime cross-MK burble sometime in October then? As for an alternative venue for the evening meet up, I've cycled past the Grove Lock a few times over the last week or so, and the humps aren't too bad, so that could be worth a go too should the Fox be too much of a risk...

I was thinking either Five Bells @ Stanbridge or Grove Lock for the next evening meet. Date will depend upon when I can be bothered sorting something out
If FWD / Bigtone sort out a weekend run for October, then the next evening meet will probably be in November.
Having been to the Fox, I'm probably never going back! I wasn't taken with the beer, the staff or the security of the car-park (or the lack of smoking areas)
As for being the "kingpin" of local car theft, I could give a few names more likely to be involved, but PetrolTed would probably bin my post
I won't even rise to Trouser's "clapped-out" dig over my Jag, especially from someone with a clapped-out Golf! I'm posting less often, because I'm trying to spend less time on here. I'm not succeeding very well, I'm currently in a meeting with a key customer, but I'm still on PH

Grove Lock? Do you mean the 3 Locks Pub or is there another to which I'll then respond "Oh.....yeah that one!" when I realise which one it is
New pub, instead of turning towards Ledburn after leaving the bypass, continue toward Tring / Cheddington. About two or three hundred yards after the Ledburn turn, then you will see the entrance to the new place. Used to be an abandoned / empty house on the canal.

So i wasn't the only one wingeing about the massive no-smoking area then
Might be a good idea to do a rota system for guard duty at the next one
Or find a nice village pub...where the scrotes don't go

Three Locks from memory is a bit Grotty isnt it and unless you have a narrow boat, parking is up the road in the usually DIDI occupied carpark

I went there for my school leaving drinks! The car park is pretty grotty and I even grounded my old Nova once or twice back in the day.
Probably not a good option for us grown up sportscar drivers...
I shouldn't mention this as I haven't got the money yet, but I sold my NSX tonight
I just don't know who to and for how much Weeks of nothing and now two people are having a little bidding war between them Gassing Station | Events & Meetings | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
