Is it just me or is easter normally boring on the car scene with nothing going on! Perhaps we could get another run organised, maybe check out these Essex boys and take a run down to meet you guys. That B52 place at Saarfend airport is a place I must visit this year so that might be a place to go.. Mitch says we gotta try the local jellied eels so we could call it the 'jellied eel run' Wot you all think? if enough like the idea of at least doing something let's get it organised and plugged as the more the merrier.
Cor! You two certainly go to some classy places Si. Next you'll be telling me you were swigging Daimond White's in the car park washed down with a can of Red bull, then went for a spin round the car park on your mini moto.
Any one for a party seven, so thats what those funny tin openers were for.Then wash is down with a crate of barley wine ahh those were the days!!!!!!!!!!!
count me in for this too, the only show i know of easter time is the classic car show we went to last year at manningtree. If we sort the saarfend run out for a different day to the manningtree show then we can do both, not a hell of a lot to do at manningtree but it's another day out of the house!
Went to B52 today. Chatted to owner. Its perfect for what we want. For starters, the owner is like us, he runs a 59 caddy a ratty rod and a 70's style 'T' also a trike. The place is Kool. lots of 50s fittings, half a 57 Chevy on the wall and a wurlitzer jukebox filled with Rock 'n' Roll. He wall all for us going there, Sunday days are best for them. The american car club meet on the 2nd Sunday he said we could have any other sunday. Just got to let him know. If we want to organise a bigger event in the summer he will help out in any way, we can have a band or full on car show if we want. So all we've got to do now is arrange a day and i'll chat with him.
In the mean time he said to put he's number on here as most people get lost on the way there so you can call for directions. 01702 548688 he's name is Russ. Top Bloke!
This sounds like a place we have got to go to! as origianly suggested by bumper he say easter, only thing is easter sunday is 2nd sunday of month, so how about the 8th of April? come on who's up for it, its on my calender alresdy!! We could go back again in the summer
Yes this is a must do run which could by the sound of it turn into our first show.I think we really need to all get together soon and talk thro' a few of these do's. It's ok bouncing ideas around on here but much more could be achieved at some kind of meeting. I put this back to the powers that be to think about it.

8th April is Easter Sunday which is also 2nd Sunday of month. Either we check to see if the Am car club are still meetin on Easter Sunday OR we risk April Fools Day!
At least if we do the 1st we can plan a run to the seasun on Easter weekend

Sorry for being human but i should have said 15th April! thought i would put a date on here for people to work with, who can and cant make it that weekend, if not then perhaps someone else could come up with a date, if not nothing gets sorted!!

Tony the 15th also falls on the weekend of the AACI spring nationals which a few on here probably attend either as day trippers or camp over for the weekend so maybe the 8th would be better or is that Manningtree? I think a meet at mr Ps or wherever is def. needed to finalise this and other events we want to attend as a group which can then be posted here to get a better attendance.
the 8th is the 2nd sunday and they have something else on the 2nd sunday. if it means a meeting round mr P's then fine with me but we will probably have trouble arranging a date for that!!
Mitch and I spoke today. We think if we can get the B-52 club to agree 1st April it would be good. We can bill it as 'Turtlespeeds april fools run'. We will advertise it on all the sites and mags and let all local clubs know (suffolk, essex and kent). It wont cost any thing to put on and the b 52 club will open up the fields for us.
If you all agree we will sort it out.
Shrek can you print some leaflets that we can put under wipers at the nsra swap meet at arena essex?
Do we agree. If we have a meet up, wot is an in between pub. Im in Long Melford, Mitch is in saaaaaaarfend and the rest of ya , Colchester or Ipswich. I reckon the White Hart on the A12 at chelmsford. Wot say you?
all sounds good to me, the white hart sound good too. just one thing tho, if inviting local clubs you might want to make it clear to one certain club that they cant bring any 'modders'!
I don't have a date for this years Manningtree show yet, but last years was on the 23rd. I reckon it would be safe to assume it would be the same weekend, which leaves us clear.
A meet before would be good to sort out everything, the sooner the better, really need to get firm plans in place by the end of Jan to give enough time to spread the word.
Should be good.

no problem to getting the leaflets printed. Mitch can you email me over a jpeg version of the turtlespeed logo and Si come up with the wording required and I will put it all together. Some jpegs pics of peoples cars would be good to. For speed though I will have to print it in one colour as my work load is going through the roof at the moment.

Yes yes, April fools run sounds great, we're in. If the word gets put about it should have the makeings of an annual do.What date at the pub then?....The Ipswich crew could poss. ride down together. Glad we all agree to say NO mod. crap, pity in some ways coz I wanted us all to get in tune for hecklers alley at the Nats but I guess we could turn up at any car park on a sat. night for a practice.
'Modders' (god i hate that term) could come as there is a PC World just round the corner and i'm sure they'll feel right at home in that car park, They could do doughnuts and front wheel burnouts with the hand brake on and 'Sound off'........ I dont half write some bollox dont i!

No not really, to some on other forums that probably 'spy' on here that would sound like a great day out.
Fi you could pass the word around whilst fraternising on such sites and see what response you get!! Yeah let 'em come, bring it on!! We could all cruise down together, what a harmonic sight that would be that some would be proud to see
Now i've met the owner of B52 i honestly dont think he would let us near he's place if he thought that sort of car was coming. He's old school.....like us.
Mitch go and see the owner of the b 52 and book it for 1st april. Take some pics so I can build the web page.
Ian I'm sending some jpegs to you and some pics of cars etc.
Shall we have a meeting at the White Hart this Tuesday night (Mitch cant do Monday and Wednesday is Old Skools night) for a chin wag and any other ideas.
The white hart is at the boreham interchange of the a12 at chelmsford. Just up from chelmsford auctions (or opposite my old mg rover dealer if that helps). Its a big pub reasonably quiet and 1/2 way for everyone.
us Ipswich mob are in deep discussion at the moment, me and Jerry are up for it, Nick is working away this week so cant make it and dell is not home from spain til tommorow so i will speak to him then and see wether he up for it. I like a good drink so will be looking to scrounge a lift but if not then i will bring my hot hatch!
