I've updated Bills post on IMOC with date/meeting times, can you adjust it if things change.

Yea Bill, see you guys at the Little Chef/Travelodge at 10.00 - 10.30

So far we have 3 MK1's coming.

Can you make that 4?
I have been holding back until I changed my engine for my £50 bargin (from Redmk1 on IMOC, thanks again!)..... I finished it yesterday, and all seems good

As I live about 170Miles from the meeting point (Scotch Corner Hotel), my plan is to come up with Jack, he was at the NEC with me on the Saturday, stay over at the Travelodge (or similar) and meet on the Sunday.

Is this OK? I am 99% sure I can do this ATM, BUT I need to put a few more miles on the "new" engine before I can say for definite.

[AW11 Forever]

Yes that would be brilliant, there is a travelodge 1 mile from the Scotch Corner hotel on the A1, that would be perfect for you and you can make a real weekend of it. NEC to scotch corner can easily be done in 2 hours.

So we have 4 MK1's now meeting at Scotch Corner, brilliant, keep adding names, this is going to be one hell of a run.

Thanks for the info Michael It's all booked (the £51 option,Travelodge Scotch Corner A1 Southbound).

I HAVE to go now, the hotel costs more than my engine did! Just need to get the petrol/mars bar money sorted now

I am really looking forward to this, lets hope it's not snowing!

Although it is a Northeast/Northwest get together, All mk1's from anywhere are welcome,
you will be made most welcome,
this is a Mk1 meeting so no Mk2/3 please as this is a Mk1 club meeting.

really.... - the mk1 club has always been welcoming to other mr2s etc.
the last lakes meet i went on 2 yrs ago had a few mk2's (ex mk1 owners) and a mk3 and a ferarri!
(they were Miks friends IIRC...?)

Yea the guy who brought the Ferrari F355 was Greg's a local NE MK1 Club member, his MK1 was in restoration at the time so he couldn't bring it, no problem with that as he was a club member afterall

Why would people bring MK2's to a MK1 Club event? surely they would only be in the club if they owned a MK1

I think the last meeting when we had all MK's on the run was a reflection of our presence on IMOC when the run was open to all IMOC members, where as this is a MK1 Club event.

I didn't think you had to be a member to attend?
