Don't think I am going to be able to make tomorrow. Sadly my Swift is being not-so-swift at the moment and is struggling to even start!!! Do you ever have any meets closer to Manchester / Cheshire?

That's a shame. As for any meetings South in the region, generally no. There's usually a meet at The Wheatsheaf which is near ST Helen's, although "Jaik" lives in Stockport so maybe share a lift?

Kirsty, first and foremost, welcome wavey

Secondly, you've only been here a short time but have already broken a PH rule. For some reason the ladies on this forum, when new, have a self imposed law which says that being female, you must have a picture of yourself in your profile.

That way, you can make a big impression, establish yourself and only when you've been here for 9 months or 1000 (whichever is the sooner) can you put a picture of your car in your profile.

HTH.

Funny how the photo 'rule' only applies to females!!!! tongue out

And yes, well noticed that I have a very car related surname, which makes purchasing such items very embarrassing and I always give a false name, but then they catch me out when they see my credit card!

Welcome to the fold Kirsty. Lawrence is right, I live in Stockport and I'd be happy to get some use out of the passenger seat if you need a lift to any meets. Speaking of which... Wheatsheaf this month?

I don't make the rules.

Sorry.

Pop along to a Wheatsheaf meet if you can. I've been, ooh, must be three times now. Usually some very nice cars there. I do not count mine amongst these smile

The Wheatsheaf is near St Helens ( map) and the meets there are the last Thursday evening of each month. This month should be the first one of the year, they tend to stop over the darker/wetter months. We generally have a chat and kick some tyres, go for a drive then meet back at the Wheatsheaf for a coffee.

Speaking of which someone some probably start a thread about this month's meet smash
