Title: Santa Pod anyone?
Post by: RonaldMcBurger on 23 July 2006, 22:51:09
Just a thought, but who fancies a great day out and a general Omega meet at Santpod for one of their 'I like driving faster than Laidback' meetings? Dates to be arranged, but who's up for it?

Looks a possibility then. I am open to other suggestions too - except putting my tractor on the strip. Now Marks MV6 Estate, that could be interesting as it does go like stink. :-?

Sounds like fun!  And as i'm only a few miles away it'd be rude not to attend.  Cant see the slush-box elite breaking any records but would be nice if a few chavaliers are there to beat :)

Won't Santa Pod be a wee bit noisey?
Title: Re: Santa Pod anyone?
Post by: RonaldMcBurger on 31 July 2006, 23:08:34
No not really. Then again, I am partially deaf anyway!
Title: Re: Santa Pod anyone?
Post by: Auto Addict on 01 August 2006, 07:04:36
I might come along then.....would it be on a Saturday or a Sunday?
Title: Re: Santa Pod anyone?
Post by: P_Russell on 04 August 2006, 16:16:57
I could make the 3 miles down the road to this one! - But Mark's DTM would still beat me there!! ::)
Title: Re: Santa Pod anyone?
Post by: TheBoy on 04 August 2006, 21:48:04
Depending when it is, I would probably be up for it as not too far from me :)

Title: Re: Santa Pod anyone?
Post by: Admin on 11 August 2006, 22:25:13
Hmmm, 3rd September is a bit of a problem for me and Mark as we will be crossing Stelvio Pass at that time!  :o

Thanks Mini_Issunaz for doing the research!  

I really must try to make it to this!
Title: Re: Santa Pod anyone?
Post by: Admin on 12 August 2006, 09:09:10
I would like it to be something as many of us make it to as possible, and it would be good to meet you at last Hillper. :)
Title: Re: Santa Pod anyone?
Post by: Elite Pete on 31 August 2006, 12:31:28
Thought I would add a poll to see if we can get things rolling, put names to faces an all that.

I voted 14/15 October
Title: Re: Santa Pod anyone?
Post by: Bo Bo on 31 August 2006, 15:48:46
Same as.
Can't make 29th Oct, going to see New Order!
Can't make 5th Nov, bit of a do!
So 14th/15th Oct is the only one that I can possibly make it.

The October one would be good, could do Mervs heads on the Saturday and pop over to camp/travel lodge on the Saturday evening and then the pod on Sunday

Post by: tunnie on 07 September 2006, 21:49:43
just posted in the other thread, seams to be getting interesting with tents and staying overnight, maybe we should merge the threads?

If someone has space in their tent, payment could be made in beer  ;)
