davidinhull - 4/6/13 at 09:00 PM

Hello again gents (and ladies?)

After a good amount of interest for a meet last Wednesday, the weather was bad enough to have to cancel.

There have been moves to try again so, a show of hands please for:

Humber bridge car park, meet , chat, drive out
Next Wednesday (12/6)
7:30

Thanks

David


Neadles - 4/6/13 at 09:13 PM

I finish shift at 1900 so could could get there for around 2000.


maximus1 - 4/6/13 at 09:29 PM

I'm in, is that the car park under the bridge near the hotel
Thanks barry


coops222 - 4/6/13 at 09:44 PM

Krash67 - 4/6/13 at 11:03 PM

Davey D - 5/6/13 at 08:02 AM

Im up for it


matty h - 5/6/13 at 05:42 PM

Matty


coops222 - 5/6/13 at 06:41 PM

ive posted this event on the rhocar forum... anyone posting on other furums?

the more the merrier ....

just hope for good weather


jossey - 5/6/13 at 06:53 PM

N me. In the tiptop though :-)


davidinhull - 6/6/13 at 06:48 PM

We're on then

Meet at 7:30, wait for those who can't get there til 8 then see where we get to!

Location wise, NOT the car park under the bridge by the hotel (although this may be nicer for future meets)

To help those from the other side of the bridge, the main car park by the tourist info (google maps search Humber bridge tourist information centre)
Accessable from the bridge easily before the first roundabout, or from just outside hessle from this side

D

Hope the weather holds this time


Krash67 - 11/6/13 at 08:49 AM

Typical....weather has to change when a ride out is due!


davidinhull - 11/6/13 at 06:33 PM

Despite what the weather man says, it's not started raining this side of the Humber yet
Doesn't look promising for tomorrow though

Fingers crossed, if it's bad I'll post on here if I'm backing out
Personally I'll decide at 6pm

Davey D - 12/6/13 at 04:06 PM

How's it looking in hull? It's very cloudy here in grimsby. BBC weather says no rain till 9pm, but accuweather says rain now :-s


Krash67 - 12/6/13 at 04:42 PM

It's raining here in scunny! I'll update in a hour.


coops222 - 12/6/13 at 04:43 PM

Just started raining here


Neadles - 12/6/13 at 05:08 PM

Well its raining in Doncaster at work now and forcast light going to heavy from 1900


davidinhull - 12/6/13 at 05:16 PM

I'm feeling brave, so I'm going (admittedly I'm much closer than Doncaster)
I refuse to be rained off twice
Might turn round and go home after saying hello to anyone else who makes it if the rain worsens!

D


Neadles - 12/6/13 at 05:18 PM

When I get home to Brough at 1930 I'll see what it looks like then


Davey D - 12/6/13 at 05:23 PM

Pissing it down in grimsby at the mo :-( boohoo


Krash67 - 12/6/13 at 05:35 PM

Well it's stopped here and showing signs of drying. But grey clouds are lerking!!!................forget that it's pissing it down.......what a bummer!


Andy W - 12/6/13 at 05:45 PM

davidinhull - 12/6/13 at 06:37 PM

Well, arn't I a brave boy
I'm actually here!
No other kits, but we've been put to shame by about 30 scooters!

I have learned with the doors off, I get no spray on the inside of the windscreen, but I need new tyres/the roads are massively slipy when wet!

D


jossey - 12/6/13 at 06:41 PM

David, well done for making it I
Assumed people wouldn't go so I'm at home with no evening date.


Krash67 - 12/6/13 at 07:52 PM

Bloody typical blue sky and sun out!!


coops222 - 14/6/13 at 07:22 PM

any of you guys going to newark?

im taking the kit on a trailer, setting off tomorrow morning (sat)


jacko - 14/6/13 at 07:29 PM

Can i ask why on a trailer did you not sort the electrics out ?
Jacko


coops222 - 14/6/13 at 07:54 PM

Not brave enough to drive it down, still not 100%... plus om taking my youngest and camping over... also he wants to take his bike, laptop ect....


jacko - 14/6/13 at 08:18 PM

If it had been the electrics i have a spare set dizzy. module wires etc i could have lent you
Have a good weekend and i hope it dose not rain for you
Jacko [ Graham ]


coops222 - 14/6/13 at 08:24 PM

Thanks for that, I bought full accuspark set all seems ok now, but dont wanna spoil the weekend ok the back of a recovery truck.


jacko - 14/6/13 at 08:29 PM

Have a good time i won't be going my car is of the road no mot and on sorn
Graham


Krash67 - 15/6/13 at 12:29 PM

I'm going down Sunday.....fathers day outing. But in the tin top. Would be good to meet up with any of Humber troop. I'll look out for the cars.


maximus1 - 16/6/13 at 03:28 PM

are we going to try meet again this week or next ? we just need the weather on are side


davidinhull - 16/6/13 at 05:12 PM

Happy to meet if people suggest a day
Sticking with my original alternate Wednesday plan, I was intending to post a new thread to meet a week on Wednesday, as I am busy this Wednesday
There was a link posted earlier in this thread, to the WSCC site , they are meeting Thursday I believe
Not a bad idea to join them?

Being a persistent sort if chap, I will still try get a locost meet for a week Wednesday if people are not weary of the failures so far (entirely weather based and last Wednesday I made it and met Jamie? - sorry I'm rubbish at remembering names)

D


Krash67 - 16/6/13 at 05:20 PM

I'm game for meeting this Wednesday and or next ........subject to weather of course!


Davey D - 18/6/13 at 06:19 AM

Im up for meeting up whenever we can. With how the weather seems to be as of late, planning 1 set night every 2nd week might mean we never get to meet up. Is it worth just having a last minute roll call if the weather is good one evening?


Neadles - 18/6/13 at 10:08 AM

I cannot do this Wed....misses birthday but am off next Wed so game for that!


jacko - 18/6/13 at 04:00 PM

I don't know if you are interested but this Wednesday 19th its the
East Yorkshire thoroughbred car club at Beverley behind the fire station

Have a look and see what you think

coops222 - 18/6/13 at 04:13 PM

im off to beverley tomorrow

all being well in my kit, failing that ill be in the tin top


Krash67 - 18/6/13 at 05:26 PM

The idea of last minute shout round is ok with me. SuggestIon of doing it as a seperate post..ie...."Humber locosters"
The Beverley thing sounds like a good idea, how about a meet up at the Bridge car park and group ride up.........subject to the typical wednesday weather fluxuations of course!


matty h - 18/6/13 at 08:09 PM

What times are we looking at as at work until 6pm. Do we know what time the meet at classic car meet starts seems to be no details on the website.
Matty


davidinhull - 18/6/13 at 08:44 PM

I can't make Beverly tomorrow, but hope to get to bishop burton on Thursday to meet the Westfield crowd

If anyone wants a run out on a random evening, feel free to post, and see who can make it, but I tend to need to have something planned

As such , I'll post a new thread to try organise next Wednesday (it's the middle of June, surely we can rely on the British weather to give us wall to wall sun from now until mid October!)

davidinhull - 18/6/13 at 08:50 PM

Lets try again:

Beverley classic car show yesterday, I couldn't go - glorious sun
Westfield meet tonight I was going to tag along to - rain

LOOK at Wednesday 3rd


davidinhull - 20/6/13 at 09:23 PM

Since I can only do alternate Wednesdays, 26 being the next availablefor me,
That pretty much proves my point!!!

coops222 - 24/6/13 at 09:29 AM

Any of you lads got a spare fuel pump I could buy or anywhere local I could buy one?. Its for a 2ltr pinto.
Mine has packed in and could do with it before wednesday.

I was thinking of upgrading to electrical but mechanical will do.

Cheers paul
