Wheatsheaf Meet 30th April
Discussion
Since nobody else is shaping up I'll start the ball rolling.
Yes - it's the famous Wheatsheaf meet on the Rainford bypass.
The usual format is to get there for a drive out leaving the car park at about 7:30 and taking an hour or so.
I don't know any of the routes so we'll need someone to step forward with one that we used last year.
Newbies - don't be put off by thinking you can't keep up or your car is 'not worthy'. Either blag a ride (lots of spare passenger seats usually available) or tag along with one of our notorious slowcoaches (Hello Tom )
For sat-navs the postcode is WA11 7TA

Copy and paste the list below and add your username (plus car if you like) into a new post - but make sure you do it right or Lois (horourary copy and paste nazi) will beat you up
planetdave - something slow

The idea is to leave the Wheatsheaf for the drive soon after 19:30 - but I have arrived at 25 to to find an empty car park so arrive before 19:30.
Oh lord, don't remind me about the Southport run please, 5 mins late, 57 wrong turnings and an equal number of calls to Kirsty later I find you all.Damn and blast, the beast will be off the road getting an oil leak fixed that week Next time lads!
Would have been interesting to test a small precision made Italian v8 against my 16 valve push-rod lump. Especially given mine's probably been built by cross-eyed people that have slept with their sister and/or dog.

There should be a memorial stone for that day with our names chiselled into it - maybe in the shape of an Ark.
That was the day I replaced my spare tyre with an oar
