North 120 meet...whos going?
 
Hi, who's going to the North 120 meet at Bolton Abeey, Embsay? Details near front of latest driver mag...

Im hoping to be there if my Dad will be kind enough to drive Thor there! Even if hes busy, I'll probably be able to get a lift from a local voc member I know.

Bump!........

Hi Steve

I'm planning on going. If you can't get your car there I'd be happy to give you a lift.

When is the meet at Bolton abbey, thats not too far away from me, might even consider putting an appearance in myself.
Where in Yorkshire are you Steve?

I believe its on the 28th (pay day for me :thumbs_up:) I'm in Wakefield but work in Leeds and drive all over Yorkshire (and most of England come to think of it) due to my job.

Andrew

Steve and his 244 Sep 15th, 2008 15:21

Hi, Andrew theres a possibility that I might have to take up your offer, due to "Dad problems" (again!) although I wont know until much nearer the time, possibly even the day beforee....you know what it's like....:P

Stevo48, im in wakefield aswell as Andrew (thats why he offered me a lift). You?

Bolton Abbey is located just off the A59 in between Skipton and Harrogate, easily accessible from major roads and railways.

Bolton Abbey is seven miles from Skipton along the A59, seventeen miles from Harrogate along the A59 and twenty three miles from Leeds via A65 through Ilkley and Addingham.

oops, double post.

Steve and his 244 Sep 18th, 2008 18:24

Andrew, it seems that i will be able to go. My Dad was in an extra good mood today so I asked him whether he would take me, which usually means he will, unless we fall out the day before!

So message to everyone - as it stands, thor will be present at this meet :D

Steve

S40_Paul Sep 23rd, 2008 11:00

28th of September this? And is it for just VOC member's or any members on the forum?

stevo48 Sep 23rd, 2008 11:20

Unfortunately i am not going to be able to make this meet, I am helping my son move house (he needs a driver) perhaps next time.
S40-paul, as far as I am aware these meets are open to any member of the forum.

Steve and his 244 Sep 23rd, 2008 16:13

....but you might like to double check that, I would have said it was voc members only.....

Steve

Is it? The first VOC meet I attended was the Southern 120 rally back in about 2004, & I wasn't a club member at the time but that wasn't a problem. I'd be surprised if it's different now.

Steve and his 244 Sep 23rd, 2008 16:26

no problem. I just wasnt sure, so suggested s40-paul checked before driving all the way to find he couldnt enter his car.

Steve

acshortt5 Sep 24th, 2008 13:12

The meets are open to anyone. You don't have to be a VOC member to show up and have a chat.

You do need to be a VOC member to enter your car into the rally though in order to have a chance of winning a trophy.

As far as this meet goes its primarily for 120/amazon drivers and there is just one "open class" prize for any other model.

Hope that clears it up.

And yes it is on the 28th.

39 Chevy Coupe Sep 25th, 2008 18:02

Weather permitting I ill be there as long as the shudder from the front end doesn`t get too bad !

BrockyV70Turbo Sep 26th, 2008 18:40

This meet in Bolton Abbey this weekend, what time does it start guys and will there be signs up to let ppl know exactly where it is? I am gonna try to get there.

acshortt5 Sep 27th, 2008 16:46

I think it starts at something like 10:30 am but I like my lie ins on sundays so will probably get there for 11:30 - 12:00.

Any questions ask Andy Rowlands, he usually helps organise this one and there's usually signs up as you get close to the venue.

Re: photos
 
Indeed thanks for posting.

The burgundy 145 (which looks really sweet) is the first I've seen with headlamp wipers.
I either need to get out more or I've not been looking hard enough :)

Cheers,

T

Steve and his 244 Oct 7th, 2008 20:56

Thats Simon Ward's (one of the directors of teh VOC that I know). I think ive seen headlmap wipers before although i could be wrong!

244T Sep 16th, 2009 20:59

In an XC
 
All things going to plan i will be there, in Xc and not 244 unfortunately......
Andrew

ahal Sep 16th, 2009 22:47

Talk about a Swedish invasion! What a beautiful array of cars ... just looking through the pictures I'm thinking "Oh, that's nice" followed by "oh, that's nice" followed by "oh, that's nice" ... it's impossible to pick out one, the standard of them all is so high. It's great too to see a such a complete representation of the various models.

Steve and his 244 Sep 17th, 2009 01:16
