Default 1st South West PassionFord Meet--Top Night



BIG THANKS GOES TO DOUG AND SIMON FOR GETTING THIS SORTED, TOP WORK FELLAS

Well all in all a top night i think

Was good to see and catch up with a few of the Familier faces and meet a few more aswell

Had a "Interesting " run down there with both Shings and my mates RWD Fiesta Cosworth being run-in.......You would never of guessed

Found the Pub easy enough, just the parking was a little thin on the ground

2nd Pub was spot on though

The poor woman behind the bar didnt know what fucking hit her

2 Locals sat at the bar, All of a sudden the sound of rumbling engines can be heard, before she knew it the was near on 30 people rushing to the bar

Good run home to with us 3 a breast racing down the motorway

Roll on the next one, can see it getting VERY big

Got lots of pictures INCLUDING a good one for a caption compitition - will post em tomorrow

Oh yeah, i knew i knew the name

The brockworth council estate gyppo pub

Thats a decent place to have it actually, if you go there next time you can all get off the Bypass at the Brockworth junction, head towards Browckworth, turn left at the roundabout at the Shell garage, and your there.

It SEEMS like the middle of nowhere from the direction you came, but its 2mins walk from Scabby Brockworth if you come from the other way so if anyone wants fat birds with perms or heroin then your quite local

And the Shell garage on the roundabout i mentioned right by that pub sells Optimax too if that helps... (As sounds like you went the very "special" way there)
