Hi all,

Many apologies for being so quiet recently. Hoping to make up for it by visiting some of you guys Up North in the next month or so, so as Bar Vitelli suggested meeting up, I'd like to see if anyone else would like to meet up too?

I'm taking the 126 up to be restored with a garage in Leeds and need to meet up with them before entrusting my little hero to them and will be there on a Friday or Saturday night, depending what day works out best for driving up and doing the deal. Anyone up for catching up over a few beers sometime soon?

Lina

Hi Lina, that's brilliant news, I've been meaning to get an up North do sorted out with Pete and what better time to do than when we have a guest of honour! Me and Mrs BV are definitely up it so please just let us know when you are planning to visit and we'll try fit in around you! If you need a B&B recommendation just let me know as there are a few good places nearby. I'll start the ball rolling...

1) Lina & Co
2) BV
3) Mrs BV
4)....

I wonder if Ladislav and Tom will make the trip? Who knows, Rusty might even try his new engine out!

Something to look forward to at last!

Name the date and I'm sure the other up Northers will be there!

Let me know a date and will see

Nice one, Chris...

Maybe Graham will come in his Fiat 126 Black (bird)? It would be great to meet Will (especially if he brings his spare 594cc engine with him!), Retro Rides is far too long to wait for a 126 meet!

Lina, we need a date....shout out an diet us know when you are planning to be here!

Cool guys, this is going to be fun!! Never felt like a guest of honour before

lol

The whole thing is dependent on a trail of variables involving house sales, solicitors and much paperwork, so I can't commit to anything until I know for sure I have things ready to get up there and collect Lina's Lovely Lada from Leeds, but as soon as I know more, I'll post here, I promise!

It could be as soon as the weekend of the 1st of Feb, but may well be the weekend of the 15th as I can't travel up on the weekend in between due to other commitments. I really hope it won't be any longer than that though

I've invited the guys who are going to be restoring the 126 to also join us and they seem up for it too - be nice for you northerners to get to know other car nutters in the area

This sounds cool, when are you thinking. Getting time off work is difficult but if I get enough notice it can be done.

I will have to attend in my Skoda as my 126 isn't ready yet.

Well, still waiting for the house sale to complete, but rumour has it, it could be this Friday... Which would mean it's more than likely going to be the weekend of the 15th Feb. What day's best for meeting up, Friday night or Saturday night for everyone?

Okay folks, it's definitely the weekend of the 15th. We'll be coming up on the Friday, but going out for a nice meal on our own (don't forget guys, it's valentines day on the friday!!), meeting up with the chaps who'll be doing the work on Saturday daytime, then we'll be dragging them out with us to meet up with whoever can make it.

Pete's suggested a carvery then I reckon we can carry on into the evening with a beer or three ;-)

Who's in?

Ey up, Lina, that's great news, Saturday 15th sounds good to me so please count me and Mrs BV in! If the weather is good we will be there in our 126s! Pete loves his carvery's! Let me know when and where and we'll be there! If you need any help arranging or need ideas of where to stay then just let me know.

Lina · « **Reply #9 on:** February 04, 2014, 01:52:56 PM »

Thanks Bar, but it being Valentines, we have a hotel booked ;-) lol

Okay, looks set to be meeting at the Toby Carvery in Horsforth: http://www.tobycarvery.co.uk/horsforthleeds/ on Saturday 15th. Not sure what time as yet, but probably early eve?

How's that for the Vitelli's??

Lina

DeVilleChris · « **Reply #11 on:** February 10, 2014, 11:41:05 AM »

I'll be there. Let me know a time

Lina · « **Reply #12 on:** February 10, 2014, 11:51:27 AM »

Update: Looks like early eve, 7 - 7.30 is a good time. I'm sure a little flexibility with the times will be okay/understandable!

Is that good for everyone? (Sorry DeVilleChris - I meant you too for checking for okay-ness!

)

Hi Lina, that sounds good to me, Mrs BV is 50:50 but I'll definitely be there in my red 126 which is just back from the garage and all souped up! Just need to figure out how to find Horsforth now!

DeVilleChris · « **Reply #14 on:** February 10, 2014, 07:36:34 PM »

not sure if I'll be there in my 126 or a mini but will be there! 126 playing silly atm
