GINNO

Anyone gonna come up with a day/date/time/venue???

I can make it anytime its set.

Geraint Thomas
17-03-2004, 21:22
Loads more around Swansea since I got mine.

I'll try to make it to this one. Haven't had the time to get to a Cardiff meet yet.:rolleyes:

Fancy going for a spin - then park up somewhere for food (or whatever) and yap about 200s. I know the Ferrari boys do a similar thing then head for the King Arthur in Reynoldston coz they can park and sit outside by their cars.

I'd prefer something like that to sitting in a car park. Anyone suggest a similar venue around Swansea/Gower/Llanelli or the wider area?

Date? My next week end that ain't occupied by rugby or work-related stuff is April 10th & 11th. Although sunday morning 28th is a possibility.

VIDAL BABBOON
17-03-2004, 23:13
Yea going for a spin somewhere and having a bite to eat sound's like a plan.

We talking about gower somewhere ?

If so what about the Gower inn not far away from upper Killay !

Nice big carpark there and posible to sit in the beer garden near to the cars !

We could go for a spin down the gower to llangenith take some pics and pop in to the gower inn on the way back !!

Any time is good for me but will be better to give at least 2 weeks notice as it gives everyone a chance to attend then !

Other locations could be

Verdis in mumbles for an ice-cream lol
The ship in Port Eynon pub grub
The oxwitch bay hotell Pub grub
There are loads of others to....

GINNO

11th April is good for me :thumbs:

VIDAL BABBOON
18-03-2004, 16:01

Atomicboy
19-03-2004, 13:59
nice nice. I'll be there :nod:

Phill
20-03-2004, 09:58
I'm up for it but as the mine will probably be still in bits i'll be in an Evo 1!! :D

Geraint Thomas
22-03-2004, 10:24
Date is ok with me, where/what time are we meeting?

Does everyone realise this is Easter weekend and the Gower is not going to be exactly quiet.

GINNO
22-03-2004, 12:25
Good point made by Geraint.

We'll definitly stick with that date so far then and perhaps head up the valleys where its quieter and find a pub, although being an Easter weekend there will be speed Cameras out in force because they are robbing Barstewards and know everyone will be out

VIDAL BABBOON
22-03-2004, 17:46
Meeting point is going to be Junction 47 services.

Reason being we can head over to gowerton and around the gower then circle back to the gower inn near to upper killay.

Or

We can decide on another route as the easter weekend has been mentioned by Geraint who is thinking ahead unlike me lol

Meeting time is up to you guys but i would say that 10:00 am would be a good time to start off.


Nick

swellins
22-03-2004, 17:55
jct47 is cool for me, is the date ok for the 11th then or shall we change it?

Damn right Gower ain't gonna be quiet with us lot tearing round!

Time, location etc. all good with me. We can always change plans on the day if it is v. busy - plenty of places within reach of J47.

VIDAL BABBOON
23-03-2004, 02:13
So J47 @ 10:00 AM on11th April we will finalize the details then.

Atomicboy
29-03-2004, 21:37

GINNO

Phill
01-04-2004, 13:19
Yeah Panly my designated passenger for this year - you may jump in the Evo with me - and see how one should be driven . . . not like that pussy stonie!! :thumbs: :D :p

B_P_Steve
01-04-2004, 13:28
I'll probably come along to this too. As long as i'm not too hungover. :hurl:

Phill

Hay - it's Bullet Proof Steve - about time you started posting on here!!

B_P_Steve
01-04-2004, 14:20
Just been waiting for the right moment :D

Hopefully the decat, front pipe and filter will be fitted by the 11th

Phill
01-04-2004, 14:45
:cool: We'll sort it out this easter then . . .

B_P_Steve
01-04-2004, 15:03
Mint! if the decat arrives tomorrow then i might sort that tomorrow night. The filter won't be appearing until next wednesday maybe even later on in the week, so a hand fitting that would be much appreciated :thumbs:

I'm going to have to get some will power soon, i'm spending more time on the net doing "work related research" :cool:, than i am doing revision for the exam i have next week :rolleyes:

Phill
01-04-2004, 15:10
Nevermind - get saving for a Bren single box system, just make sure you order a bung for it!! :D

B_P_Steve
01-04-2004, 15:14
Nevermind - get saving for a Bren single box system, just make sure you order a bung for it!! :D


lol I think i'll be going for the twin silencer one! I was deaf after driving from the hotel to silverstone last time we went to Trax, no wonder mark wanted to go in stoneys car.

Phill
01-04-2004, 21:53
:nod: :D

It's not to bad with the bung mind you . . . I don't think you'll find the twin box system much quiter so buy a bung for that one anyway - would be interested to hear what it sounds like compared to mine though!

VIDAL BABBOON
01-04-2004, 22:34
Mine is loud enough now!!!

Steve you have heard Phil’s and mine now so should have an idea of sound volume.

Have to get a bung now as the pops are frightening the school kids :cool:

But Phil’s is soon to get loads louder I would expect :eek:

Nick

B_P_Steve
02-04-2004, 07:42
I'm driving the AX to work at the moment :annoyed: :down: , because its sips fuel(av 350miles to £20 :thumbs: ) and i'm travelling between morriston and singleton hospitals quite a lot at the moment.
That means that the 200 doesnt have to be super practical, a bit of noise will be ok, but i dont want it as loud as phils car is now and definitely not as loud as it will be.

VIDAL BABBOON
08-04-2004, 15:11
Ok so everyone get a post-it note to stick on the fridge, then write the following: -

I am going to be at Junction 47 services for 10:00 on Sunday morning (11th) so I can go and terrorize the Easter break tourists. :nod:


Nick :wave:

Jezz_S13
10-04-2004, 14:26
what's the plan?
IE what are we going to do after we meet, and until when?

Phill
10-04-2004, 17:53
I think the plan is to meet up - have a bit of a chat and introduce ourselfs, let the newbies intorduce themselves etc.

Then it's a bit of a blast down and around the gower, pub lunch and a pint and then either shoot off home or pop across to the mumbles for an ice-cream.

What ever floats your boat really mate . . .

Jezz_S13
10-04-2004, 17:57
Mmmm not sure.
Might just pop down to the meet, gower pub will be heaving, don't really want to thrash the car cos it's begining to sound a bit ropey and I need it to see off everyone next week LOL. :D

I might change my mind tomorrow though LOL.

Phill
10-04-2004, 18:08
I can pic you up if ya don't fancy driving mate . . .

Jezz_S13
10-04-2004, 18:22
nah, it's ok cheers mate. :)

Atomicboy
10-04-2004, 19:00

Jezz_S13
11-04-2004, 14:47
As we got into port einon...

Basically I lost you lot and didn't know where you were going so overtook some bloke in a Skoda (safely I might add) and his flashed his lights, beeped his horn etc etc etc so I waved at him).
Anyway when we got to the car park (the first one whereyou went for a piss and got us stuck behind the bus LOL) he drove past giving me the wakner sign (his wife was telling him to stop it when she saw 10 cars all the same. :D) so I ran after him to see ask what his problem was; He wound the window down and asked me what my problem was, so I just said I hadn't got one, I've come over here to see what yours is? I said " I overtook you safely, plenty of room..." I kept it civil and he just said "you're a a shit" and drove off. :confused:
I just don't think he had an argument for why he was upset, other than i wanted to be infront of him and had the ability to be so.

RE the bikers...
LOL yeah, not impressed that some 4 wheeled jap crap can gain on their 2 wheeled jap crap were they. LOL :D :D Either that or they were thinking WTF is that. :D

11-04-2004, 19:48
Fabian way, biker squeezed between me and something else, van infront of me pulled in, I stuck it into 3rd, changed at the red line, roundabout, stuck with him, eased off to let him pull out after he buggered the lane choice up then nailed it after him traction control working it's cute little socks off and realed him in like a small fish then backed off to let chris catch up. :D

all sat at the lights, the bike, chris and phill in one lane, I went a different way so in other lane and the two peeps on the bike raised their visors and leared at me in a *humph* kind of way. :D

Drew,
Use nissan gaskets (arm and a leg) get chris's garage to fit them. :)

cardiff scum
11-04-2004, 19:54

o.k.chris i guess im in you tender embrace please be gentle.what is it with bikers anyway god gave us 4 wheels let them do the math

make sure that's what it is first as that's what it sounded like, but I didn't realise you had issues with the new exhaust. Could be just that.

cardiff scum
11-04-2004, 20:05
it was just going to be a test fit but the old un was bust when it came off ill refit it properly when(if)i get an exhuast gasket any recomendations i cant see one on morris site

Jezz_S13
11-04-2004, 20:11
just go to J&J nissan in Skewen, take your vin numer with you, or have it with you when you ring.

There are 2 sorts for the head-> manifold, you need 2 of each, they are about £6 each.
The turbo->manifold is about £12 IIRC. +VAT of course.

You could ring Simon and ask him, make sure they are Nissan though, they do seem to be the best but I tihnk that's what he sells
