Title: Regular north west RX7 meet
Post by: Tim_B on May 12, 2008, 09:38:18 PM
We need to get one going :driving

Am sure there are enough of us in the north west for a rotary only meet and the Garstang/Mascrat manor seem to have petered out.

So firstly who\'s up for it?

If there\'s enough people up for it, I\'m more than happy to organise it.  My initial thoughts are a mid-week evening probably monday, held quartely (monthly may be too much) at a pub somewhere just off the M6 - any thoughts appreciated :guinness

Garstang meet is still going. Mascarat was overrun by the corsa crowd !

Better weather should mean the garstang meet gets more people in the coming months.

Didn\'t realise Garstang was still going.  Thought there were only 3 cars at the last one and not heard anything for a while.  If its every two months that would explain it.

Its a skyline meet isn\'t it, but we could keep gatecrashing if thats easier :Giggle

Not been to one yet, always had something on, they on a sunday usually? do you know when the next is?

The Garstang meet is organized by the Skylineownersclub but is a meet for all Jap cars. It is every other month now as monthly meets seemed to draw less of a crowd. As soon as I find out the next date I will post it up. If your up for this add your name on the list.

Anyone heard anything on the Garstang meet, I was having a nose on the Skyline forum but couldn\'t find anything.

Anyway its Japnorthwest on monday (9th June) at the Mascrat Manor, I know people say its gone downhill but its never been that bad when I\'ve gone.

Anyway, details here (click on monthly meet)

http://www.japnorthwest.co.uk/

Thought I\'d pop down, good if some others of you came for a mini RX7 meet.  Then hopefully in the future we\'ll find a different home :Thumbsup!

Tim_B and myself went it was really busy there was a lot of supra\'s and skylines there but we tried to keep the RX end up had a lot of interest about out rotors which was nice. It was my first time at a meet for me and we both said that we will go back hopefully in bigger numbers next time.:Thumbs-up

Still not heard anything back from them. If you want to organise a mini meet than that could be cool. Like Stu says we\'re gonna miss the summer if we arn\'t careful! Any preferance on date/location?
I\'ll ask again on the Skyline site about the Garstang meet.
Title: Regular north west RX7 meet

The macrat meet was really good on monday.  A good number of cars but not overcrowded like it used to be, plenty of parking.  None of the corsa crowd showed up either.

I\'m definitely going back next month (14th July).  I reckon it\'d be a good place for us all to start meeting again :driving

Then perhaps if we get enough rx7 owners coming to Mascrat we could think about doing our own mini meet :Thumbs-up

Right guy. I\'ve just got word back from Shane over on the Skylineowners web site. He is organising a meet at Guys Court (Garstang) for the end of July.
At best thats 6 weeks away so the question is are we gonna have a mini meet ourselves?
Title: Regular north west RX7 meet
Post by: marcusd666 on June 13, 2008, 01:52:47 PM
I am up for it as long as i\'m not in work have you got a date?. I will be going to the jap meet on the 14th July again in the meantime may be some more of us will turn up next time.
Title: Regular north west RX7 meet
Post by: TiddlesRX7 on June 13, 2008, 02:08:07 PM
There is no fixed date as of yet. The guy who organises the meet is up to his eyeballs at the moment with other things. As soon as I find out a date I will post up in a new thread.

Which Jap meet is it on the 14th and what location?

14th July is the next meet at the Mascrat Manor (pub just off J21 of M6), which is a general Jap meet.  Come down, I think a few of us will be there :)
Title: Regular north west RX7 meet
Post by: TiddlesRX7 on June 13, 2008, 06:37:55 PM
I see. Well it would be good to meet up. I\'ll have to see nearer the time though. Time and Money are tight at the minute and most of it is going into the car so it is ready for Rotorstock.
Front lip spoiler to fix/refit
HKS boost controller to fit
Boost gauge pillar mount to fit
Tidy/clean up engine bay
Rust spots around sun roof to fix
General service
Idle/overfueling problem to fix
Im sure there is more too but I can\'t remember right now!

yeah will do, thanks for the reply, im hopin to get a 2nd gen non turbo, in fact im really wanting "scarlett" as advertised by DemonRx4. Cant wait till he gets back to me!

one thing i would like to say about this forum is, it\'s good to have someone makin th effort to organise a new meet, especially in the north west, other car clubs i have been in generally just can\'t be bothered doing anyhting like this, they stick to thier guns and i usually have to travel at least 100 miles just to meet like minded people!

I\'d quite happily organize a monthly at Guy Court (near Preston) every month. But I don\'t think its fair of me too as I can\'t guarantee I\'ll be able to make it every month. I\'ll post a meet up if you like and see how it goes. What do you think.
