Somerset Meet - February

[Mad Ax]

After January's washout, who is up for a February meet?

Sundays are usually favourite, so shall we suggest dates?

3rd? 10th? 17th? 24th?

All should be OK for me

[Rabiedmushroom]

24th no good for me; I'm at a Mini show with Alex in Florida. No, we're not kidding!

But Draggin wants another monster crush, my new Avante II is running beautifully, and I think we need another M-chassis race cus it was silly fun.

[Mad Ax]

This time I can run my M04S Pumpkin in the M-chassis race. My RWD traction will astound you all. It rocks.

It's near Yeovil, in deepest darkest Somerset, about an hour South of Bath. Be nice to see you there, if you can make it. I hope the weather in Feb is as nice as it has been today

[Lemming]

Just got back from deepest darkest Cornwall in my new car (2002 Audi A6 Avante) and am absolutely shattered. Unable even to work out what day it is now, but will pop back in the next day or so with dates we are free...

Fancy taking on Draggin with an E-Maxx, and got 2 mini's that are due a good blast so hope to be there. Might even bring my Avante to compare to the MKII on the day...

Good to see Ryck if you can make it too mate.

Steve

EDIT: My new car...

DOH!

Usual stupidity on my part... So used to typing Avante on here, can't seem to stop that little "e" appearing on the end.

not making a point now are we with pictures and all .........

Still I prefer to see my alegences at Stuttgart not Inglostadt, tho still gd set of wheels and should fit many tamiya's in the back

Will look into it. I might have to put up with dad taking his play car lol in which case I think my case for being shattered after the drive is stronger than ures lol.

cheers

It's sad really... I'm actually proud of getting old!!!

2.4 litre = good

6 speed auto = getting older

"wood" trim = need a zimmer frame

As you say, I can now bring almost everything to the meets!!!

[Mad Ax]

"wood" trim = need a zimmer frame

I have a totally tasteless brand new Mountney-style wood-effect steering wheel that you can buy from me if you like. It will match your wooden interior.

I had a wooden car once, but it wooden go

[Rabiedmushroom]

Lemming - lots of people would think you bought the Audi becuase its a nice big sensible family car.

We know you chose an estate just so you can pack more dirty r/c vehicles in the back...

OK then boys; back to suggesting a date? If you can't make your minds up for early/mid February, I'm fine for the 2 first weekends in March.

[Mad Ax]

Shall I suggest 17th Feb? 3 days before my birthday, you can all bring me presents

In fact I have bought way too many presents this week, I now have about four times as many "runners" as I have batterys, receivers or speedos...

[matisse]

NOOOOOO, not the 17th, before or after please!!!

i'm at a crappy trade show in excel that weekend!!

mat

[Mad Ax]

OK will have to be the 10th!!

Come on peeps, that's not far away... Get with it

[Rabiedmushroom]

10th is good for me as far as I know, and probably Alex too.

I'll bring Draggin, AvanteII and a Mini.

Ax - its my birthday tomorrow and I think I will also buying some r/c pressies for myself!

[Rabiedmushroom]

You're dithering like a bunch of girls!

I'll say I'll be at Ham Hill on Sunday 10th Feb at 11am (unless its widdling down with rain again), armed with offroad trucks and buggies, and hope to see some of you there

[Mad Ax]

We've already decided that we can't do that one because Infected Mushroom is swanning it up in Floridal with her hubby. Be there on the 10th

I will be there come shine or shine.

[matisse]

*******, can't make it, got prior engagement, being a gopher on a shoot.

anywho, will give me time to get the blaster up and running.

[Mad Ax]

I was inteneding to be there, but just blew the mains section of my charger up...

Looking into what I can do as I have no batteries ready and it takes some 10+ hours to get 2 runs from the E-Maxx, Gecko and Avante...

Complete bummer - just looking to see what is available and then off to speak to the missus as to what I can afford

UPDATE:

Well, with a bit of patience (and a lot of hope) I think I am charging some batteries, although how charged I have no idea as it turns off when it wants to, so no idea on what level they get to.

On a plus note, M-Troniks have asked me to send it to them. They will see what is wrong and either fix it, quote for a fix, or offer a reduced cost replacement. Guess I will be out of action for a while.

Hope to see people there on Sunday

Steve

[Mad Ax]

Will be good to see y'all there, I hope the weather holds out - it's been gorgeous today, I've been working from home, staring out at the garden, and just dying to test out my recently-acquired Schumacher... It'll be dark by 5:30 tho :s

Probably won't bring so many runners this time - I have a lot of stuff in various states of disrepair as almost all my stuff is in the process of being upgraded - but I'll hopefully have:

23T Dark Impact

23T Grasshopper-based Stadium Truck

23T TB02 rally car

Schumacher Shotgun

TXT-1

M04S Pumpkin Lowrider
