Well if it isn't the owner of the hardest driven Fiesta ever!!! Has the car recovered from the Le Mans trip yet Bob?
You ought to give this meet a go and get Dave & Hugh along, as MTR usually puts a first rate route together.
Cheers
Gilly & Dave

Count me in.
I will have my new motor by then so the likelyhood will be that it is a 97 306 GTi-6.
However I will buy <B>Clareys</B> WRX if I can get a decent insurance quote so watch this space.
<B>Clarey</B> - Drop me a mail with your insurance suggestions for your car - if it is still for sale???

The Fiesta is fully rcovered and chomping at the bit. It's got new alloys and some new springs since Lemans so watch out!
Looking forward to the meet, Bob

You up for a convoy there??? I am coming from Barrowford so not far away. Dales and Buddy are from Burnley as well so we may be able to get a good convoy. I am currently trying to buy a new car which will probably be a 306 GTi so dont worry about the Fiesta Vs Scooby thing - they will thrash both of us

Dreamweaver, sounds good to me m8! Do you have to come into Colne to get to the M65? If so maybe we could meet at Prestons BMW or somewhere as I don't really know Barrowford.
Bob
PS I can take scoobys, no problem!

Please scrub the 306 GTi off the list - I went to look at one and wasn't keen so I will be coming in a Scooby after all. I should have bought one by then, but not sure which MY.

It was yours that helped me with the decision. Very clean from what I saw of it through the snow and you had good reports of owning it so far, so why not.
You can have a look at NM5

Boomer,
the Buttercups looks another great day!,thanks for the pointer, however I also want to get up to the Croft trackday.

Thanks for the tip-off Tony
However, I have seen the light and am going for the Scooby. You only live once so sod it. Disposable Income is not everything
To be honest I went to look at some 306 GTi's and didnt like them. Not much room behind the wheel, and have heard of bad reliability.
