Essex Meet - 2008 to 2015 (historical guff)

Post by markandlyn »

Hi all,

The Regular Essex Meet is held the 2nd Thursday of the Month.

The pubs we use have good food at sensible prices and are very friendly. There is plenty of parking and also nice sized gardens overlooking the car park.

They are located in central Essex, just off the A12, so ideal for most of the Essex (& friends) MR2 owners to get to within a sensible time.

See new post for the current months venue.

We'll be meeting here from 7.30pm.

So come along and enjoy yourselves...You're all welcome.

Mark and Lyn:th: & Stu

[quote="markandlyn"]Hi U2 non Essex members...the cars looking good Ant!
Be good to see you on the April meet.
I suppose we best sort a route...how does a Southend Sea-Front drive by, and then a country lane drive to the pub sound ?
We'll start a list, so we can see if it's worth planning.

We'll be finishing at the Rettendon Lodge, but we'll be doing a run before.
Meeting place for the run to be confirmed...once we've sorted a route.

It will probably be meeting at 7.00 to leave at 7.15 for the run...possibly the Shell Garage on A127 between Wickford and Chelmsford turnings.
If you can't make the run, we'll be at the Lodge about 8.15

Mark and Lyn.

Bit of an update!

ok, exhaust down at engineering company as uni is shut so cant weld it, should be done later on today, so that means that between 4-5:30 all i have to do is refit seats, rocker cover, headlights, exhaust and re-wire fuel pump.

all of that to drive for an hour and most probably beak down on the drive! oh well. i have one on going problem that i wont be able to fix and thats the ht lead from the coil to dizzy is to small and sometimes pops out :sad: loosing all power.

sean is working till 6:30 so will probably meet us at the pub, if i can get the indy up and running ill see everyone at the meeting point for the drive!

and its forcast rain for my area, oh wel, looks like ill be getting wet.

hope everyone is up for it!!!!
