Hey guys, just wondering how many members we have in and around Taunton?
All this talk of lack of meets got me thinking, I don't mind holding a monthly mini meet at my workshop behind Creech Castle.
Maybe with a bbq every couple of months.
Who's up for it?

Matt.

I've just been lurking around quietly.
Me and the missus had a little girl 7 months ago, so the S13 project was put very much on the back-burner.
Bought an S13 to use as a daily a couple of weeks ago to get me back in the game.

I have my sources lol. I pasted your car the other day in burnham as my friend lives down a road you were parked on. So i put a spotted thing on here and got told it was yours. Im not a secret stalker dont worry lol.

lol thats alright then lol my mate al must of told you (not sure on his user name) is yours that dark blue purple colour one?

Chriscooke

15-11-2009, 18:32

Looks like it might be worth sorting a meet up in Taunton then! I'd trundle up from Exeter, I think Kev would too and MM if his cars road legal yet ;) Possibly Ross. Would be good to meet some new members :thumbs:

Chris: want to sort something out?

Can have a go at sorting something. It's develops baby really but if that fails there are plenty of places local that we could meet up:nod:

yea how do you know that? lol

Have you seen a blue 14a on bronze rotas in burnham mate? I passed it twice when I was working there for a week:nod:

Did you have standard rims on it recently as I passed a standard green 14a on my way to burnham:nod:

Shall we say last Sunday of every month is a Taunton meet then?
We can have it at my workshop, first meet in Jan?
I will start a new thread soon with directions etc.
That good for everyone?

Davus200

15-11-2009, 20:52

That would be fine with me on a sunday dont mind traveling only just down the motorway.

Chriscooke

15-11-2009, 22:15

Works for me mate:nod:

Is your unit down by the car breakers/classic car restorers? I don't remember their being a huge amount of space down there and the road was a mess. That was a few years back tho.

Yeah, the lanes not amazing Chris, i'll post some pics up next week and see what people think.

I'm sure it'd be ok if it was taken slow. Is their space for that many cars or would you propose parking in the offices car park around the front?

Develop

16-11-2009, 22:40

On a Sunday there's no-one around so the whole lane is clear, but we can always use the carpark if numbers end up getting too high.

My SX got down that lane not so long ago (slowly), I wouldn't stress about it.
Count me in for a Taunton meet. Hopefully I will have sold the blue S14a by then though.

Hi,

Been posting on here for a short while as a guest, sold my S14 at Easter for a new project that never came off - Anyway finally bought an S14a and joined as full member :sxoc:(awaiting membership stuff) but don't reckon it'll be in a usable state till the new year.

Would be interested in meeting up with locals (when I get the chance) as I'm in Glastonbury so Taunton would be an easy run when the car is done!

Cheers!

Chriscooke

17-11-2009, 11:41

Good to hear you have one mate, the more the better as far as I am concerned:nod:

Cool let me know how it goes. I still havent decided what to do with mine and it's map:wack:

soulmachineuk

21-11-2009, 00:29

All fitted and back in the car now. Feels a lot better and the car feels like it is pulling a lot better. They also say it should give better fuel economy when cruising. So far that seems true too. Just going to get the car checked and adjust the timing, which Horsham Developments suggest to do also. Worth the money I paid I think.

Speaking of Chris driving past Asda... my missus said you were tailgating the our BMW down Toneway the other day. Were you looking for a run against the diesel torque?
