Hi,

I might be able to go next month. I've had no clutch since last Monday due to a massive eruption of my clutch plate :)

I am set to be made redundant tomorrow, so I what else will I have to spend money on apart from thrashing my car and new clutch with fellow mr2 owners :D

Hi guys. Wish I could make what would be my final meet but am unable to attend unfortunately, unless Alex is going then i'll grab a lift. Still got my Mk1 but am selling the beloved Supercharger soon - keep an eye on ebay and autotrader in the coming weeks... I just bought an FTO :P. More luxury than the Mk1 and still legendary for handling, just a shame it's front wheel drive. Really nice to drive though but not as quick or good a handling as my lil mk1. I will prob end up buying a mk2 next year or some time so will prob see you all again some time soon. If not meets have been fun and was great to be a part of he warm and very welcoming MR2 community.

Sorry to hear you're selling the 2 :pale:

Your still welcome to the meets...Just park away from us... lol
We're not going to wait for your FTO to catch up either...I'm only joking.

Hope you are both keeping well, as last I heard, Alax was made redundant.

Be good to see you both, but if you can't make it, take care.

See you soon,
Mark and Lyn.

Yeah I am coming. My car is on top form now after its little clutch explosion in Braintree and its really running well!

Yes Oli you can come with me. I may even remove the sub so you can have extra leg room as its the Xmas period and all! Less weight too :thumleft:

Redundant or employed I'm coming. Not having a job gives me time to clean my car more thoroughly :lol:

Not this time I'm afraid. October we did the last one this year and it was slighty damp and dark and it got a bit hairy.
Wait antil April and normal service will be resumed...but we're sorting a Sunday Morning drive out over Christmas.
The Roads will be empty and we can finish up somewhere for breakfast.

OK...we have a slight issue with the Essex Meet venue.
The Old Windmill are not doing any car club meets during December.

So don't panic...I didn't like the car park anyway! [-X

We now have a NEW venue for tomorrow and future use...with a lovely block paved car park.


New address:
The Rettendon Lodge Country Inn,
Hayes Chase,
Burnham Road (A132),
Near Battlesbridge,
Essex.
SS11 7QT
Website

Map Clicky

Could all those on the list please PM us so we know you are aware of the Change.
Many thanks
Panic over. :whistle:

This is on behalf of MAV122 who is experiencing internet problems, he said he is sorry he cannot make it as its his mother's birthday today.

Sadly, I forgot that I told my girlfriend I'd take her out for a meal today as well, so I'd love to come, but I wouldn't have any man bits left if I did!

Ill try and make the next one! Sorry guys.
