Awesome meeting! Thank you to everyone who turned up :D

Was great to catch up with people and to meet a few new faces :) Pity about the weather but nevermind eh!

Was a shame a few chavs couldn't resist being immature on the grass but there we go, I guess there will always be a few!

09-01-05, 06:55 PM

Did anyone see the Range Rover that couldn't be asked to go out the normal car park exit???

Instead he headed over the kerb up the grass embankment and onto the Round about :o at the far end of the car park.

If you've got it you might as well use it..... :roll:

Good to speak to a few new faces.... Unfortunetely I didn't get time to speak to the people I had already met before... sorry guys. My driver was in a rush get home (as you might have heard :twisted: )

Was a good meet.... looking forward to the next show/get together/event...

Well done for organising it Jim, and your car looked Awesome!!!! Well impressive. Hopefully it will be the first of many this year.

was a good day had by all i think.shame about my nova only do the equivalent of a 1 ltr. gonna get it sorted soon hopefully.
was good to put a few more names to faces however i do still think it wud have made sense to either wear some sort of badge or put there usernames in their cars so we know whos who-coz i can easily say that i did not know atleast 80% of the people there! :o
was nice talking to boro nova and his missus,cp,faf nova,last of the nova sr, and a few more which i cant remember , which we had never met before.
cya all again shortly!

I was wearing my newly acquired Novaload fleece with my name on it, so no excuse for people not knowing who I was :P

The fleece was really comfy and kept me lovely and warm, definatley worth the ?22, thanks Chris :)

So come everyone, stick your hands in your pockets and get yourselves a fleece or T-shirt for the summer, no excuses then :P

lol, the flip with the Nitro car was pretty cool, lol. Knew it was going to happen one time, the speed bump was just a little to sharp to get some proper air.

to be fair to stus car, his was only running front wheel drive with slicks on a wet surface, lol.

Cheers guys, your the ones that made the meet though :)

Jim

Mel

09-01-05, 07:52 PM

MK Meeting 2005 Report

Dan arrived at my house around 9:30. We had a cup of tea (coffee for Dan) then set about cleaning the cars. Managed to get the cars cleaned by about 12:30 then headed over to Willen Lake carpark.

Cambridge and Will had already made their own ways there and to my surprise there were a few Novas already parked up at the far end of the car park. We headed back towards the front of the carpark and parked up. The car park was surprisingly busy for the time of year, so was unsure if we had enough space.

About 15mins later a convoy of cars came along, mostly Novas fortunatley ;) There must have been at least 10 cars in the convoy (apologies, but I can't remember which cars were in the first convoy).

About 30mins later (if that) another convoy of cars turned up. This one was led by Karl in his Evo and amongst the pack was Chris_16v. We'd run out of space towards the entrance, but fortunatley there was a bit more space further up.

The odd Nova or two trickled along during the time. I think at the maximum point there must have been between 30-40 cars all related to the site, which is amazing. I had no idea this many people would turn up, and for that I am really thankful :)

Everyone started walking around and having a look at what was on display. The majority of people behaved in the carpark, and I thank you for respecting that.

After an hour or so everyone headed into the restaurant on the lake front and had a quick drink as well as warming up :)

*Unfortunatley things took a nasty turn when people came out of the restaurant. These two idiots decided to start wheel spinning and doing donuts in the carpark :roll: This one idiot even managed to do a full 360 degree flip at one point. Landing back on his wheels, there was no damage, so he carried on ragging about the carpark. They then started racing cars down the carpark :roll: ;)

Once the two idiots had run out of fuel Dan decided to take Chris and Sean out for a spin in his car. Charles asked if I was taking mine out, but instead I offered my keys to him. The road test then began, see here (http://www.novaload.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=104402) for full details ;) He took Mine, Dans and Benjis cars out for a spin with Richard Hammond (I mean Benji) in the passenger seat.

The night started to close in and people started heading off. The last of us headed off around 6pm.

Thanks to all of you that made the effort from all over the country. Bruce deserves a particular mention for coming all the way from Scotland! Fair play to you mate, and it was good to meet you in person.

Cheers again guys, might have to look for a new location for the next one as we nearly ran out of space ;)

Jim

*The cars mentioned were remote control Nitro cars ;)

hi all

Me and andy got back about 4.30 having used ?50 in fuel, i used quarter of a tank in 10 minutes! :lol: i only did 120 miles today!

Was a top day and good to brake the winter up with a meet. As usaual i spoke to the people i know and not many new faces, guess i am just shy :oops:

Well done Jim and everyone for turning up, good to see the old novas have a new lease of life. Jim the choice of venue was good, i will be back down in the summer to see what it has to offer.

Sorry i couldnt hang around for long, its my sisters birthday today so i had to get back for the meal. Fealing a little drunk now lol.

scott.parker

09-01-05, 11:29 PM

Thanks CP, like i said though i still prefer the nova! :wink: :lol: :o

Everyone do you self a favour and save yourself ?17000 and stick with your novas, they have so much more character :wink: Though the evo is an amazing car and i love it to bits. Imagine me saying that on the lancer register :lol:

Sounds like you had the best day out of everyone Charles, wish i could of stayed around to watch.

Karl

lol and i though you wer joking when i said "how much mate" think i should of gave some funds to the save karls evo charity :lol:
Hey next time you could charge ?10 a run and you might break even! :P :wink:

Gutted that I didn't make it to this one. Sounds like it was a top day out. I've got too many little problems to sort out on my car before I can do long distance.

Looking promising for summer meets if this sort of number turn up in jan!

-Bruce-

10-01-05, 12:06 PM

That me just got home now lol. Decided not to drive home last night as i was very tired so stayed another night at Seans place!!

The weekend had its ups and downs, but to be honist it was a great weekend. Had alot of laughs with everyone. Shame about seans car but it was lucky that it was not more serious.

Well thanks to everyone one that was at the meet. (even the people that left before we turned up). Great thanks to Jim for making it possible(good to meet you in person aswell mate)

And thanks to Mel who came to our rescue!! :D

Bruce

10-01-05, 12:18 PM

thought the meet was a little disappointing! (sorry!) or maybe we just went to mcdonalds at the wrong time and missed the best part! saw a few nice cars thow including a couple of very sexy evo's and a very fast remote control car! the best part of the day being our stop at watford gap services on the way back to wolverhampton- we happend to stop alongside a coach party of nice young females!! a few flames from our mates sr (last of the nova sr's) and scaring the girls with our loud exhausts gave us a bit of entertainment before we retired until next year!

Stuart

10-01-05, 12:29 PM

it was a good afternoon.

i guess you make of it what you do. if you only talk to a few people that you "know" then its gonna be a bit boring. but try and talk to lots of people and take the piss etc lol

my rc car was tooooo slow as shes not got the rear drive shafts in at the mo, and its a bit naff in the wet any hoo. bring on the dry weather lol. might do a pod run with it ;)

Mike

10-01-05, 01:00 PM

Agreed, well done to Mel for collecting Sean and Bruce, I think those two owe here a few drinks the next time they see her :)

10-01-05, 07:16 PM

Sean, i didnt realise your car was actually in birmingham itself. Have you managed to get it fixed and home yet? If not i could lend you my brakes to get you home? Guess its too late now sorry mate.

What part of birmingham did you have to leave the car?

Karl

Mike

10-01-05, 07:18 PM

riggy, driving like a mentalist on the motorway! that blue SR that was behing you (with me+other's @ hilton park) is andy86wolves, he lost u @ 110mph! nxt time we saw u was @ watford gap?

going flat out or summit all the way :wink: gud fun tho :D

srs1

10-01-05, 07:58 PM

the car was left at
st.chads ind est
brearley street.
apparently not the safest of places to leave the car.

picked the car up today after work,
the fella in the garage was a bit of a nob to be honest. knew his stuff from what he said, but must have thought i was 10 years old or something.

glad i finally got there in one piece.
good to finaly meet dan and was good talking to you last of the nova's before car went pop.
riggy was flashing me to go faster as i slowed down waiting for you lot to catch up when the brakes went on me.

Mike

10-01-05, 08:07 PM

did u notice that in that st.chadds ind. estate that nearly EVERYTHING was bolted down? cuz it'll get nicked otherwise! :|

really soory about not stopping, i fort u pulled behind me and were waiting for me to pull of? well, its explained abit better in ur other thread (big thanks)

was nice to meet u and riggy @ hilton, shame there werent many more cars tho in our convoy from there? oh well, hope u get ur nova sorted and get back home in one piece.

mike

Mel

10-01-05, 09:28 PM

:oops: :oops: you're making me blush lads!

It was the least I could do, didn't feel right leaving Sean and Bruce in the middle of nowhere lol..

My lil clapped out 1.2 actually made it averaging 80-85mph all the way to Brum lol ..and didnt die on me either :wink:
