As above!
Do you fancy having a meet some time in Yorkshire somewhere?
I wouldn't mind putting names to faces etc!
Would be nice to have a mini fix-it-day, or just a little meet up and pub lunch etc?
Would anyone be interested? :P
-
yes mate i would no to far away for me !! :y
-
I'm in Leeds, if we can get a few people interested i'm up for it!
-
Another few quick thoughts...
I’m still a member on VVOC, and wondered about having a joint meet maybe?
What does everyone want to do at these meets?
Who organises these meets? Me? Or an Area Rep / Admin? (ie Organising places / things to do / prices etc etc?)
Another quick thought... If it’s local to me, I could sling the trailer on the back, and bring down my 4kw Generator, and prob my homemade air compressor too(with air tools etc) for a fix-it-meet?
Sky is the limit! :y
-
To be honest m8 I ain't been to any meets as yet, most are too far. I'm easy on what we do, will go with the flow!
Rich ;)

OOF normally have a couple of large nationwide meets each year. Last year it was the Lakes (Keswick) and Newent (Gloucestershire). These are normally 2 or 3 day events attended by members from all over the country and take place at selected camp sites. There's already another Lakes meet organised for June 27th-29th. See the following link.
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1205874019
These are great opportunities to meet everyone, check out cars, work on cars, BBQ's, get pi$$ed and have fun. ;) They are normally organised by a nominated person who knows the area.
Most of the other meets are more local to specific area's and organised among people in that area. Some of these are specifically to work on cars and help people out and some are just to meet and have a chat.
Hope this answers your questions. :y

Cheers, Yes I want to attend the main evens (if im free) but Im also intrested in smaller mini-meets, where we can either work on cars / just meet and have a chat, or both!

right then chaps lets get sumat sorted !! :y :yjust a meet or fixing no worries have a very comprehensive toolkit and know my way round omegas like the back of me hand !! 8-) 8-)

Well, some jobs planned for my Mig soon are :
General service, eg oil, filters, brake fluid.
Change the autobox fluid and filter.
My car need a respray, I have most of the stuff, but not yet found somewhere to do it. I have never sprayed before, so could do with some a lot of help !.
I have almost all the bits to LPG my car, and want to do that as soon as I can.
Any one else with similar service plans that we can collaborate on ?.

Ken
well i have two v6s with tensioner faliure i am in middle of taking to bits !! found 12 bent valves on one of them !! ;D
-
If it's a day meet i'm hear enough so stick my name down. 8-)
-
I did the Oil and Oil Filter on mine on Wed, But ive still got a few jobs to do:
Autobox Oil Change
Rocker Gaskets x2
Spark plugs (x6 of course!)
Find the water leak
Rust on rear doors
Drivers door strap catch thing
And prob something else!
Now, I dont mind going 'All out', if we want a fix-it meet.
If i have a bit of notice I can happily Rebuild my air compressor etc into my trailer, along with 240v gen!
I have got a few boxes of genuine vauxhall sparkplugs too (if i can find them). So if anyone is after 4 or 6, PM me and then I can bring them with me for you!
I have a fair amount of tools I can bring.
-
I guess cambelt + tensioners too would be nice! (however I dont trust myself to actually put the belt on! - although I will remove everything upto this point!) ;D
I wonder if we could find somewhere to make a weekend of this? Tents + BBQ and a few drinks sound like an added bonus! :D
-
Alrighty! Been reading above, all sounds like a plan! I live Leeds and close to major motorways etc. Could do with changing my brake fluid, got some ready just havent got round to it! Will be willing to help out with general servicing too
-
By the sound of it, most people would like a fix-it meet of some description! And the rest are happy whatever!
If were to do a fix-it meet, it maybe an idea for us all to list exactly what we need when we got the location / time etc set, and then order it all in one go (bulk buying). :y
-
Regarding the location this is your baby so you need to assertain who's attending. If it's just a few blokes a large layby will suffice or if folks are bringing wives /children a services or family pub might be more in order. Just a few things to consider. :y

Old Post Office Pub near Wakefield comes recommended - I know it's got a large car park... I'm up for a meetup, I'm not too far away. And I own a selection of hammers.
-
Sounds good, lets meet somewhere, for a quick pub lunch etc and a good blether, then we can plan fixits etc.

Aye could have two meets :). However... how far people would be willing to travel for a pub lunch is my biggest worry :-/
Ken, Just notice your pic, you have more than one robotic arm? cool! :y
-
this all sounds excellent and im up for meeting new people,pub lunch sounds good,maybe a sunday afternoon would be good to when everyones free but it will have to be soon because i go on holiday in 2 weeks :P

Aye, that's the one. It is quite south, but its an easy motorway run, or there's some cracking country roads too.. :y
-
That's the pub at the side of Jcn 38 M1, the meet would have to be timed right , as at the moment there's quite a large circus set up in the car park. ::)

;D Must admit I didn't know that...
-
Count me in - don't have anything special to show off, but would be great to put names to faces and if it does turn out to be a mini fix-it-day, there's always something to do or to help someone do! :)
Happy to help in any way i can too...
-
I should be free most of the time... I finish college VERY VERY soon, so hopefully we will beable to get these meets all sorted then! :y
-
Yup I'm up for it count me in ! ;D
-
i,d be up for this too,
only a half hour drive for me (police permitting) :y
-
Me too ;D
-
Just give a date and time and I'll be there
-
Heckmondwike / Batley lad born and bred, strong in arm soft in head :)
Let me know when and where, I'll find a excuise to head back up home
-
" Now then!!! ", another one here in Yorkshire - the car's not very impressive, but it likes to meet people that appreciate the growl of a V6...
a local(ish) meet sounds like an excellent idea - count me in.
but remember, can you really trust a man that keeps his glove compartment locked & he has the only key ;)
-
Is there anything set or being sorted for this meet yet? :)
-

were ever matey set a poll up for dates fella :y
-
Poll Added!! Hope its sufficient!
-
27th no good for me wim open day !! have voted 12/13th weekend off :y 5/6th ok as im 6/2 that weekend ! :y
-
Well multiple voting is enabled if more that 1 day is good for people!!
-
Watching this as i can't afford to attend The Lakes this year (gutted) but anywhere in Yorkshire is within shouting distance for a day run & would love to attend.
Hav'nt polled as i can go with the flow @ w'ends. 8-)
-
Will check with rota at work... however im free on almost all sundays (BUT I am away 12th/13th at the VBOA down in Northampton - or thats the plan anyway!)
Last day at college tomorrow today! WOO! ;D
I also MAY have found somewhere for a fix-it weekend... how many people normally turn up to these meets? we talking 15 cars? or 50 cars? Will give me an idea of space needed etc! :y
-
You at York college matey??? We'd be up for a bit of a shindig but always busy so will wait to see what materialises.
-
Well the Poll isn't panning out to be too conclusive!!!! :(
-
Well the Poll isn't panning out to be too conclusive!!!! :(
come on chaps lets get some votes up there !!! :y :y
-
I voted any date suits me! :y
-
OK its the first and we still aint got a date, just gonna have to pick a day soon and hope most people can make it. ;)
-
Is everyone waiting for everyone else to decide a date ?
What about Sunday 13th July ? just a thought ::)
-
I'm good for any really but this is the first meet for me so I don't even know if people prefer sat or sun etc!!
-
sunday would be better for me ! :y
-
Ok well seen as knowone is making a desicion, shall we say the 13th!
-

Lee :y :y
See this is the problem, trying to find a day that all can do!!
-
Just as a suggestion!! who can't make the 20th vs the 13th
If more people can make the 20th rather than 13th we can change to that!! ;)
-
13th or the 20th for me :y
-
i've just done a regional weather forcast & they reckon it's going to rain on 13th & 20th with 100% cloud cover :'(
who knows how accurate this all is, but this week has a severe weather warning so maybe the 20th may be best on the off chance that 2 weeks is too far to forcast & they MAY be wrong.
as with most people i'm free for either day
we should let Ian_D decide as he put the initial posting :y
-
Like I said before, Im away at the VBOA Meet at Billing on the 13th.
20th would be fine by me! It would be nice to put names to faces etc! :y
-
AFAIK 20th suits me. :)
-
20th It is then! If everyone ok with that?
Just noticed the midlands meet post on the 13th. seems silly to have 2 meets one week apart that are reasonably close in distance! I know its nottingham and abit further away, 80miles for me! :-?

This post drops up & down quicker than a h*****s knickers. I'm guessing it's 13/20th July but still not sure where. If there's a venue agreed let me know. If not you can all pile round here, can get two Migs on the front, two in the drive & one in the workshop for jobs needing doing, everyone else can park on the road/grass (cool neigbours) invade the house if raining etc. I'm only 5 mins (sorry officer) 20 mins away from Markey Mark. The date is close so maybe time to stop fannying around with the venue. Firm offer if you want it, let me know so i can organize BBQ/ Curry etc.
Cheers, Guy. :D

Does dunnit! :D

OK. I know we all work silly hours so can you give me a clue,
A:- Do you want to meet here?
B:-When?
C:-How many?
I know it's not strictly a Yorkshire meet but it's close enough & better than a car park/pub etc. If you get mucky you can shower (bring your own wash kit) & i can put a few people up on spare mattresses, settees etc if you want to drink (bring your own bedding)
Sort the date out between you & if it's on PM me for phone no. & address.
Cheers, Guy. :y
-
13th im day off 20th im 2/10 :( :( but should be able to book it off :y
-
Right we need to make a decision here! 13 or 20th, I personally think Guy should decide as he has generously offered his residence as a location, and I think it should be what ever is best for him. :y
-
Either are good for me, i work silly hours during the week but weekends are usually mine. If you want a beer bring your own as i drink voddy, same with soft drinks if you're bringing little "oofers" but i'll lay on food, tea coffee etc. If you want to tinker bring your own tools. The workshop's mine but most of the gear in it belongs to my mate Steve the TRACTOR polisher so unless he's here must be left alone. Otherwise we can stand about, eat, drink & talk bollix which we're all good at! :D Should be a good little mini meet, bring your cameras.
Once you've decided the date & are coming post on here & i'll PM you details. Cheers, Guy. :y
-
I'd be happier with the 20th, I just hope Markeymark can get the day off!!
-
Given the timescale now i guess the 20th is favourite. I've left Markey Mark a phone message so hope he can book time off. This still only leaves us just over a week so can some one take the plunge & put thier name down to start the ball rolling so i know how many to cater for? 2 or 20 people, no worries but give us a clue or this mini meet will die a death. :'(

Come on chaps! Prime opportunity to put faces to names here!!

Hi guys,
A big thankyou to Rich for the PM (not been on here for a couple of weeks).
I'm gutted but can't make it. I've got a stag do I'm going to this Saturday and there's no way on earth I'll be fit to drive on the Sunday :-/
Maybe we could organise another one as well for the middle of August or something?
Cheers everyone and hope you all have a great day

Ok. We've got enough attendees for a select Mini-meet although more are welcome, add your names. I've PM'd some with details but not all so could those WITHOUT address phone nos. post "details please" on here & i'll PM them to you. Would help if i know who likes chicken curry (only those attending please!!!) or burgers/sausauges etc so i can sort it on saturday. Local stores are open for kids drinks etc.
Lastly thanks to Ian_D for starting this off....sorry if i hi jacked your thead & richardirv for chasing people up. I've met Markey Mark already but look forward to meeting the rest of you on sunday.
P.S. The curry is homemade (no jar sauces) not too hot & dissappeared faster than a rat up a drainpipe @ Lakes 07!!!
Cheers, Guy.

Sound! :y Well If you think of anything in particular don't hesitate to let me know! if not i'll just bring burgers/chicken etc! its only fair as I'm sure everyone else will agree!
Just one other thing, I just wanted to gauge how many wives/girlfriends are coming? My girlfriend isn't really fancying it as she not interested in cars and doesn't want to stand around listening to us witter on about our love for migs! hehe!!

Just kidding ladies. Getting close now so those who need contact details speak up. Foodwise i'll get some basic bbq stuff from the butchers, will knock up some homemade coleslaw, potato salad etc. plus the infamous curry. If it's raining we'll bbq in the workshop. (Still room to get the nose of a Mig in as well for Markey Mark to tinker)
I'm working Sat morning, prepping Sat afternoon so once again speak up for my address or i'll have to trawl through my PMs so let me know please folks. Guy. :y

After your comment about mine needs a polish Mark, you can help tomrrow ;D ;D :y
Don't forget the polish:P
-
Regarding the location this is your baby so you need to assertain who's attending. If it's just a few blokes a large layby will suffice or if folks are bringing wives /children a services or family pub might be more in order. Just a few things to consider. :y
well there's always (woodall i think it is) services down towards junc. 32ish on the m1! not sure where the one up from that is (m18/m180/m1 or even m62)
-
theres a big motorway services on the M18 J5, which also is at the end of the M180 :y
i cant make this now, gutted :'(
only got half the fence done, chipping through rock and roots with blood sweat and tears >:(
i,ll have to catch the next one :-[
-
If we are doing Motorway services. The best "Truck Stop" is the "Stockyard" at Hellaby Jn 2 of the M18
I dare say Amigo knows it well. :y :y :y :y :y :y
-
Yeah i know the Stockyard Truckstop. In a car you're about 30mins. away. Stay on M18 northbound, come off @ j5 (Donnie Nth servs.) follow M180 past Scunnie to Immingham.
If you get to the '62 turn round!!!!!!!!!! :y
-
LOL tomtom rules m8, I got ya addy already loaded. ;D ;D ;D ;D
