Title: Christmas Lunch 24th November St Albans AL3 6JZ
Post by: Pete126 on October 30, 2013, 07:49:53 PM: Any members up for a get together just before Christmas if there is enough interest we can meet up and have a meal and a chat on Sunday the 24th November at The Garden House in St Albans. For you postcode enthusiasts its AL3 6JZ This will be more of a social meet, 126â€™s would be nice but not optional so you can turn-up in any motor, If you have any parts for sale/swap or wants you can do the business here and enjoy a meal in the Carvery Â£7.29 which was excellent last year

Post by: Kent126 on November 13, 2013, 05:48:56 PM: Currently working, but will try and book the day off tonight. Was good earlier this year, and as I havent been around much this year it would be nice to catch up with everyone.

Post by: Bar Vitelli on November 14, 2013, 08:15:29 AM: It was good fun last year so definitely worth going to and it was great to meet everyone...

I'm going to struggle to get thee this year though (funds are tight and we're already committed to something on that date). :(

I'll try and sort an up North event out with Pete for anyone else who can't make it down South.

Post by: Amateb8 on November 14, 2013, 10:00:16 PM: The venue is not too far from me. I think we might have something on that day. I'll check with my other half. Otherwise, count us in.
Title: Re: Christmas Lunch 24th November St Albans AL3 6JZ
Post by: Pete126 on November 18, 2013, 08:10:31 PM: As last year we'll meet between 12noon to 1pm and then organise the food ;D

Check here on Saturday to see if anything has changed, Thanks Pete.

Post by: midvillesb on November 19, 2013, 10:58:37 PM: I'm definitely still up for this and will have at least half the tribe with me (including Bridget, so Rusty you'd better hide the tomatoes...). Should get there about 12.30ish.

Post by: Pete126 on November 20, 2013, 08:45:41 PM: Looking forward to meeting up again, I think Rusty will be bringing the Tom's ;D

Post by: 126blackbird on November 23, 2013, 04:24:18 PM: Hi, I will be joining you all tomorrow.
Will be bringing some Tutela ZC90 oil with me if anyone needs some. I bought 25 litres from my local Fiat dealer earlier this year, I think I have too much LOL. Also bought a pair of reconditioned stub axles for them.
I'm asking Â£6 a litre for the oil and Â£80 for the stub axles

Post by: Rusty's Uncle on November 23, 2013, 07:52:56 PM: Mmmm Tutela , that sounds nice . Will it go best with red or white meat as I might give it a try ;D
I think that Lad is strictly vodka and Pete is a small sweet sherry as ever :P
If Gary had made it I know he is into Black Sheep :$

Post by: Bar Vitelli on November 24, 2013, 08:16:18 AM: Rusty, that's very naughty...I'm guessing you've tried some Up North beer instead of your usual Southern shandy....so I forgive you! Have a great day everyone and be sure to upload lots of pictures for those of us that can't be there! :)

Post by: Kent126 on November 24, 2013, 07:43:45 PM: How was the carvery peeps?
Title: Re: Christmas Lunch 24th November St Albans AL3 6JZ
Post by: Rusty's Uncle on November 24, 2013, 09:05:30 PM: I showed some of the guys the Fairy Grotto in the back of my car and still made it home without getting mugged :D
Having the longest beard they all sat on my lap and told me what they wanted for Chistmas but don't worry I will not be reporting any of them :o
Not sure whose round it was but I asked for a scotch, I got given an empty glass and got told it was the spirit of Christmas passed.
Of course then there was the roast , pud & tomatoes :$

Post by: midvillesb on November 24, 2013, 11:43:45 PM: It was great to see everyone, thanks as always to Pete for fixing it up.

I missed the inspection of Rusty's bits out in the car park (not in front of the kids) but we enjoyed nibbling his toms...

Post by: Lina on December 20, 2013, 11:08:21 PM: I am so horrendously sorry I didn't make it to this! - Work is so annoying!!

The 126 is still off the road since the hellish journey back from Retro Rides '13 and I've had no time to look into what's going wrong. Been stuck sulking and driving the Clio since!!

Something good is coming the way of the 126 though, as it's off to get restored in January - working or not! I'm sending it to a lovely chap in Leeds to do the restoration, who's normally into Trabants and other weird cars like ours!! :-D

Shall be driving a Lada in the meantime, so still getting the 'Weird Car' hit lol ;-D

Love to you all, hope you all have a lovely Xmas and new year! xxx

Post by: Bar Vitelli on December 21, 2013, 06:59:48 AM: Wow! Lina, you will have to drop by Villa Vitelli if you are near Leeds, we're only 18 miles away! Also, if you are okay it would be great to know the name of the chap restoring your car as I am always on the lookout for a good mechanic! :)

Post by: ape20ff on December 23, 2013, 10:28:05 PM: Hello.
What are you doing?
I wish a lot of fun for you.
Merry Christmas!
Bye.

Post by: Lina on January 01, 2014, 08:14:10 PM: Hey Bar!
Great idea! So far, hoping to stop by Rusty's on the way up too, do some bit-swapping! The place is called Mad Classics, I've only got their facebook page address: https://www.facebook.com/MadClassics. They've not done a 126 before, but they've got some great pics of a mini they once did and they're mostly into odd classics like Trabants etc, so I trust them to do the right thing for the car. David's the guy I've been speaking to.

I'll be back in touch when I know more about dates and times for the trip :-)

Lina

Post by: Bar Vitelli on January 01, 2014, 08:47:23 PM: That would be super, Lina, just let me know when you're on your way! There's quite a few of us up North so we could arrange a reception for you! ;D
