Default New NW Meet

Hi guys, just a quick post to spread the word. New meet planned for the North West.

Will be a regular thing every 2nd Wednesday of the month, with some play time afterwards elsewhere to keep the meet sensible and legal. Everyone is welcome, doesn't matter what you drive, so if you're in the NW and interested in cars come over and say hello and bring your mates.

Will hopefully be planning a couple track days/show goings/the odd road trip etc when it picks up properly. I'm aware that there are a few meets but this one is much broader, too many clubs these days are separating from the others, we're all petrol heads at the end of the day!

For more info see the page here: http://www.facebook.com/NWPerformance

(Like the page too if you don't mind so we can keep you up to date with all the goings on and keep track of how many people are likely to attend incase we need a bigger venue.)

Please note this isn't necessarily a pub meet where we park up and bog off inside in tiny groups of people that know each other, its a proper meet where everyone can have a chat n get a look at the cars. Anyone and everyone encouraged to come along!

Sorry it was more clear before Facebook changed to new style pages. The info is on the Events tab on our page.

It's held at the Boars Head on the A6. J1 of the M55.

Brilliant turnout for the first meet, couple tasty fords there too, just a couple though

Next one is 11th april, food is on all night in pub and should have full carpark lighting for later on. Manage of pub is sound.

more info here NW Performance Meet - event info

You should have come down, was a quiet meet due to weather but a few nice cars and decent people turned up.

We're not a cruise, we're petrol heads meeting up. Check the Facebook page for info on the next meet guys.

How is that then?

Sounds like you haven't a clue what we're working towards.

Next one is in a couple weeks mate. http://www.facebook.com/events/255105311253247/

It'd be nice to see some more ford representation. I know ford guys can do performance mods...

Yeah no worries, weather will be better and fingers crossed the turnout will be decent again. No big ego's waving their cock around trying to drift etc.

That comes after the meet when we've found some decent locations for play time...

Next meet is this wednesday, 13th June

We get all sorts turning up, I'm co-founder of the meet and i don't even have a car at the moment! We're all petrol heads so it doesn't matter too much if you haven't got a performance car, there should still be a few to look at and talk about, don't be shy and have a chat with people cause we're all there for the same reason. Theres a good few people set to join us this month.

Starting to get a few regulars now but everyone is welcome. Tbh we didn't know a lot of people when we set it up and felt a bit daft stood there waiting for strangers to turn up!

It's all a bit of fun. Hopefully more Fords will turn up to represent.

Free soft drink refills and food stays on all night for the meet. Weather should be decent too.

Over the moon, my car has made it there and back trouble free.

Some nice motors on display, weather could have been a bit better, had a chat with a few decent people.

Massive thanks for coming guys, weather is always against us but if it rains bad we just head inside for food and chat.

Hopefully you liked how laid back and friendly it was (and non chavvy). Couple people have mentioned its refreshing to be around other car nuts without dickheads turning up.

Think me and james are going to do some scouting around cause if the weather is good next month we may head off for playtime afterwards.

That'd be good.

By any chance do you know anyone selling either a red or grey RST? I'm after a nice one. Similar to the one just sold in for sale section.

Few on eBay but some are bit tatty.
