OK, first two weekends of October are problems for me, I am going to Blackpool for one, and the other I am LAN gaming all weekend with friends.

Jo - Nice to know another person has finally got a 480 dream worked out. It's only been over 6 months for me, but even when the bad things occur I still never regret buying it.

Also - It got bloody cold all of a sudden today, meet in October, I wonder if we should pick somewhere warmer than that car park in Brimingham :P

I'll keep the rest of Oct open so as to make life easier on everyone else.

Oh P.s. Sand Bay is a fine place, where is this parking that you speak of? I know of one at the bus terminus, I suppose in October we'd be ok here but it's not exactly large. Other than this towards Sand Point there is another car park.

3rd weekend is good for me too work permitting. I should be able to swap if I am on the rota that weekend.

Everyone else reply now to confirm whether you are free.

Hmmm, well the 16th has come and gone? Have I missed it or did nothing concrete get established?

Hi

i wanna get to a meet but being in damn bordan hants im looking at problem with distance for any meets but a beech and bbq sounds good but venue is the main prob,how many 480 owners are down my way??

and what about doing a meet somewhere like hayling island as this has ample parking for loads and is pretty tame on the boyracers and is safe to park in general and with all the pubs and the new tower ride in the funpark thing it could be amusing ,hehe 115ft drop:):)

or anywhere within 100miles or so would be good(distance isnt tooo bad but cost is everything(signed off with mental probs/crohns etc etc .

just a thought and in one carpark they have fixed barbies which i think we can use.
plus fishing if its your thing :)(not that its any good for that):)

gotta sort my wishbone prob and my two tone will be pretty smooth apart from a rust spot on the drivers door and a tiny bit on the rear arch(nothing really)which i should really brave at some point:(
and some wank piece bent my ariel off so il prob leave it or it will be done:)

so come on peps lets get something on so i can see some old family reunited)480`s:):)


date isnt a prob(i hope) so anytime really
