There are a few nice places we could go in our dubs and take some nice piccys

White horse might be nice actually?

[Shamrockez]

Going your way or Bristol way is about the same distance for us, so we're easy :)

[1958 Harry]

I don't mind travelling a little bit :D

Harrys back sometime next week from his makeover so any time after that is cool :D

Preferably a dry day tho ;)

[yellowbug]

Ok well when I get a chance i will have a drive about and find somewhere good for us, and I will try to pick out a nice pub too, we have a fair few round here that are nice :)

Surely its not just us 3? :)

[Doodlebug]

Yeer, we are up for this, what about Ant????

Dont mind travelling as well, be good to go somewhere new to be honest, bored of sodding @Bristol lol

As long as its a sweet location for photos, im cool! :)

[yellowbug]

[Shamrockez]

Graham lives in Weston :)

[Graham]

We can meet you in Weston if you want ;)

[1958 Harry]

OK, so Jan 20th it is then???

Where we meeting, around Ria's way?

[yellowbug]

Ok as far as I know the 20th is fine with us....but

give me a couple of days to check out a few things, Im thinking the weather isnt going to be favourable for a bbq :lol: so I want to see if I can strike us a deal at the village pub :D

also need to check out good spots for photos etc :D

Idea of numbers would be good for pub negotiations :D

[Shamrockez]

Sounds good to us :)

We'll deffo be there.

[yellowbug]

Already had you on my list :D

[Shamrockez]

:lol: are we default?!

[1958 Harry]

We'll deffo be there, if the weathers really ****e tho it might be in the Mini, but we'll be along whatever :D

[Doodlebug]

Yer me and Vic will be there, if BBQ with the hound...if not...no hound lol

[yellowbug]

had a feeling you guys would be definites too :D

We are planning to have a drive around a few places saturday morning so I will let you know how I get on :D

[Graham]

We`ll be there - meal in a nice warm pub sounds better than a bbq outside in the cold ;)

[Whitebug]

I am with Graham on the pub thing, Thanks for the happy birthdays and Happy Birthdat but belated to Ria. We are free that weekend, but if snowy is having her accident damage repaired we may be in the company hack or I might borrow the Demo Bug from work

[Shamrockez]

Aww, Robbie will be so sad if Snowy isn't there!

[wheelpowerdevon]

i might be able to come.

[yellowbug]

Cool beans

I thought a pub might appeal to a few of you......we dont wanna be out in the cold :D

[Shamrockez]

Would be nice to see your new Bug, Ray :)

[Doodlebug]

Yeah pub wuld prob be a better bet, then no need to faf about with bbq stuff!

Oh Ria, can you make sure there are some good veggie options on the menu if thats cool? :)

[yellowbug]

of course i will young man :D

[Graham]

Oh Ria, can you make sure there are some good veggie options on the menu if thats cool? :)

Crisps ? :p ;)

[1958 Harry]

Cool, so what time and where on the 20th are we all meeting?

[Navy Bug]

Can I come to? Not been around for a few weeks due to work etc, but I am back online now.

[1958 Harry]

Course you can Ray! The more the merrier!

We just need to decide where and what time we are meeting :)

[yellowbug]

ok i went for a bit of a drive today for some good photo spots...i have taken photos so will share with you later (left my camera down stairs and im too lazy to go get it now lol)

we have a new plan for the pub as we went to the one in the village today and were informed they dont have a new chef yet lol

so we are now thinking the bigger place in the next village, i will give them a call to check veggie ooption etc

shall we meet at ours? plenty of space to park :D

[1958 Harry]

Sounds a plan to me :)

Is it best if you PM your addy around to a few peeps (dont publish it on here) then we can meet up then cruise to yours?

[yellowbug]

yeah i think thats best. wasnt too keen on just popping it up :D

ill pm those i think want it (later today)
, if you dont get it then pm me and i will send to you too :)

[Doodlebug]

Yeah smellowbug, thats the best idea i think! Can you also sort out the weather so it doesnt rain? lol

[yellowbug]

ok now hopefully (if I figuired out the send to multiple people thing) most of you should have pm address and stuff

if you dont have one just tell me and I will send to you to :)

[Dub-Diva]

:( wish you guys didn't live so bloomin far away!

[yellowbug]

it would only take you a few......hours to get here :D

[Doodlebug]

Ok cool beans! Right South West crew (Luke, Graham, Geoff, Lucy, Ant and anyone else from that neck of the woods) do ya wanna meet somewhere first and cruise down together?

What time shall we aim to get to your place Ria?

[Blue Smoothie]

i wont be able to make this unfortunately as wont be back in bristol for a few weeks (unless they call me back of course this week).....and the bug is all fixed up - shame :(

[Graham]

Ok cool beans! Right South West crew (Luke, Graham, Geoff, Lucy, Ant and anyone else from that neck of the woods) do ya wanna meet somewhere first and cruise down together?

What time shall we aim to get to your place Ria?

We`ll probably meet you there as we`d have to go up to go back down again - if you see what I mean :laughing:
I`d have thought Lucy was the same as well ;)

[Graham]

:( wish you guys didn't live so bloomin far away!

We don`t live far away - you do ! :p :laughing:

[1958 Harry]

Ok cool beans! Right South West crew (Luke, Graham, Geoff, Lucy, Ant and anyone else from that neck of the woods) do ya wanna meet somewhere first and cruise down together?

What time shall we aim to get to your place Ria?

Sounds a plan to me, no point in us meeting at Cribbs tho as its about 20 miles out our way! :laughing:

How about meeting around by my parents or Vickies house guys as we live Bath/Westbury sorta way, maybe we could meet in the underground carpark at the Vue Cinema Longwell Green?

[Doodlebug]

Yeah thats good for me! Prob underground Longwell green would be better, save you having to come back on yourself then :) What time? :)

[1958 Harry]

I dunno, what time does Ria want everyone to meet at hers?

[Doodlebug]

I dunno, what time does Ria want everyone to meet at hers?

[Navy Bug]

I am driving up from Plymouth. Is anyone else driving up from this direction??

Ray

[Shamrockez]

We can meet you where the A303 crosses the A37 if you like, Ray?

[yellowbug]

so are we happy with that time?

does anyone want me to plan anything else?

[Shamrockez]

Time's fine with us :)

[yellowbug]

cool :)

Lets say if you turn up about then i will have the kettle on :D

[Shamrockez]

ace :D

[Doodlebug]

11 is cool! :)

[1958 Harry]

11 is cool with us :)

Sahll we meet at say 10.00 then Ian? :)

[Graham]

If this stupid weather keeps up we`ll need boats to get to the meet ! :(

[yellowbug]

Yeah weather has been bloody awful.....

my advice is take main roads dont do any clever short cuts....you will end up on a dodgy little road that will be flooded :D

[1958 Harry]

Its looking more like we'll be Mini'ing it cause of the weather :(

Floods are good in the Mini tho ;) SPLASH!!!!! :D :D :D

[Shamrockez]

Its looking more like we'll be Mini'ing it cause of the weather :(

Floods are good in the Mini tho ;) SPLASH!!!!! :D :D :D
Can we go out in it looking for a flood to drown it in?! :D

[Navy Bug]

We can meet you where the A303 crosses the A37 if you like, Ray?

Thanks Lucy. Thats the Podimore roundabout isn't it? Near to RNAS Yeovilton. What time should I meet you there then? It takes me about an hour and a half to reach there (I have had to drive to yeovilton with work lots of times)...

Ray

[1958 Harry]

Can we go out in it looking for a flood to drown it in?! :D

:laughing:

[Shamrockez]

Yeah that's the one :) Meet you there at around 10?

[Navy Bug]

Cool. See you then..... :cool:

[Shamrockez]

I'll PM you my number just in case

[MrYellowbug]

Ok, just been down the pub, they'll be running a sunday lunch (with a veggie option :) Ian) and they've put us rabble in the upstairs bit on our own so it's all set

Fingers crossed for reasonable weather :)

[Shamrockez]

Steve watched the weather earlier and Sunday looks dull, but dry :)

[MrYellowbug]

Dry is good :)

[Shamrockez]

Yep! Fingers crossed it stays that way!

[1958 Harry]

I hope its OK, be nice to get Harry out!

If not we wont be Mini'ing it as its broken and will be in the garage on Sat and Mon, so we'll be Ka'ing it :lol: look out for the Paw Prints!

[gaybug2007]

[Shamrockez]

[Shamrockez]

I hope its OK, be nice to get Harry out!

If not we wont be Mini'ing it as its broken and will be in the garage on Sat and Mon, so we'll be Ka'ing it :lol: look out for the Paw Prints!

No, it'll be carefully driving the Ka, avoiding the puddles :(

[Doodlebug]

11 is cool with us :)

Sahll we meet at say 10.00 then Ian? :)

Tidy, 10:00 at the undergound car park at that Aspects or whatever its called these days then! SWEEEEEEEEEET!

[1958 Harry]

Cool, see you guys then :D

[Graham]

Yep! Fingers crossed it stays that way!

Doesn`t look like those fingers were crossed hard enough - weather just said we`re getting a months worth of rain this w/e ! :eek:
If it`s too bad we`ll be in the Focus I think !

[1958 Harry]

:lol: We can be the Ford club G :D

[yellowbug]

tsk we will have to have a seperate ford parking area :D

im looking forward to it :)

[Snowy]

I think geoff was planning to drive across to meet you guys at Longwell Green (works out the same distance for us whichever way we go), and he realised that there is a Maccy D's there which really swung it!!!:p

We have no internet at home again at the moment, so we will meet you there about 10am, but if there are any changes, please can you text one of us to let us know.

We will be in the bug, but cannot say whether it will be white or dirty brown :laughing:

[yellowbug]

We will be in the bug, but cannot say whether it will be white or dirty brown :laughing:

oh good another bug :)

dont worry my yellowbug is currently black....and unless marc feels like cleaning it before you guys turn up it will be staying that way :lol:

[Shamrockez]

Doesn`t look like those fingers were crossed hard enough - weather just said we`re getting a months worth of rain this w/e ! :eek:
If it`s too bad we`ll be in the Focus I think !
BBC weather says cloudy for Sunday for Warminster, which is close to where the Yellowbugs like:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/poomunky45/DubkopfeDesigns/RIMG0284.jpg

there is a road all round the lake so we might be able to park the bugs on one side and take photos from the other.....

this was the place I was thiking of for a 'big' meet, think you could get some cool pics around the lake of all different dubs lined up together :D

[Shamrockez]

I hope that's not a pic of the road to your house! :lol:

[yellowbug]

:lol:

that would be brilliant trying to get you lot through that :D

no thankfully the roads are all nice and dry round here :D

[1958 Harry]

Oooh looks nice, shame due to the weather its unlikely we'll be in Harry :(

We'll have a couple of more peeps joining us tomorrow, Marks trying to get in on the VDub scene properly so he's gonna come along tomorrow to see what we are about, he said he'd have a proper look at Ernie for you as well Ria and give you an idea of price if you do want Ernies roof done :) he said as a guide £225-£250 is the sort of price you're looking at.

I hope thats OK guys, I figured the more the merrier :)

[MrYellowbug]

Not at all luke the more the merrier, we've booked the pub for 18 ish but we have the whole top floor so we're covered up to 20-24 ish i'd imagine

Found another spot today if the weathers nice a nice quiet tree lined back road, up around the army camp, reckon some photos up there will be good
As long as the weathers good :)

[Shamrockez]

Oooh, we know where the army camp is - we went past it getting lost on the way back from Wolfsburg (303 was shut!).

[yellowbug]

:lol:

has everyone that might need it got my number? if you havent then pm me and ill send it to you!

oh I have been baking little treats for everyone :D
and I have some little prizes too - just fun things dont go expecting gold trophies or anything :lol:

[Shamrockez]

prizes? Is there games?!

[yellowbug]

games ..... erm no :lol:

although I could find a prize for you if you manage to stay stood up all day without falling down :D

got a little something for dirtiest dub and shiniest dub :)
and a treat for whoever travels the furthest to come along :)

[Shamrockez]

ooh ace :D

[Navy Bug]

I will be bringing my big camera from work, so loads of photos will be taken!!
I did jet wash the car today, but I have 120 miles to drive to even get there, so I expect it to he filthy by the time I arrive! Are there any big open spaces nearby, so we could arrange the cars for a group photo?

[yellowbug]

morning guys

ok well we are up, i ave finished the tasty little treats and marc has given the bug a quick clean :)

well we have a paddock but we will have to see what its like for driving on to :)

trading estate might provide some good spots :)

[Shamrockez]

Robbie was spotless last night but I expect his wheels will look dirty by the time I get to the bottom of the road and brake :lol:

[yellowbug]

:lol:

well if you want him to be shiny for another couple of minutes when you get here im sure we can spare a sponge and some water.....hell be filthy again 10 minutes later but there ya go lol

[Doodlebug]

Oh can we go to the lake??? I wanna skim stones! :) Well Noodle is very much dirty and i cant be arsed to clean him lol Just taken Lola for a nice wet walk and now im going to brush my teeth! See you soon! :)

[Shamrockez]

:lol: good plan! :D


Just off now to meet Ray - see you guys in a bit!

[yellowbug]

ok well the paddock is a no go....marc has just decided to move the van over there and its now stuck in the mud.......so im watching from inside as him and dad try to move it :lol:

[Graham]

I`ve just put the bra on the Bug so we`ll be leaving in a minute ;)

[yellowbug]

ok well I went out to help with the van as it was truly stuck and needed a few more people pushing......and I ended up covered in mud.....but the van is out at last :lol:
Just dont anyone dare go on the grass :)

[wheelpowerdevon]

Gutted i couldnt make this, i set out all my gear, all my new 'Dub Section' bits n bobs n everything, went to work sat night like always, and ended up drinking all night = No fit state to drive the next morning !!

Hope you all had a great day. I WILL make the next event. Grrr
