Central (northants) Meet

[System~G]

A big thanks to everyone who braved the cold (it was f :censor: king freezing) making it a very successful meet

We started gathering at 6pm in the carpark of Superbowl in Sixfileds and by 6:45 everyone who said they'd be there was there plus about 5 other cars from the two clubs present (Northants Jap and TOC).

At 7pm we headed off in convoy to Milton Keynes where they have the weekly legal cruise. The convoy got split up early on when to some of the "big boys" (supra, MR2, RX7, Scoob and 200SX) decided to have a blast. An Audi TT tried to have a go too but gave up very quickly

The convoy seemed to regather in a 30mph zone but after when the limit opened to national speeds, it kinda got split again. This is when I noticed it was just Girlyracer and myself had been left behind by the "big boys" and had pulled away from the rest of the group.

We regrouped again in the carpark near the hockey stadium in MK where we parked up. We also met up with Noodle, her other half (sorry dude forgot your name already!!!) and Ray.

Most people meadered (sp?) off to Maccy D's to get much needed coffee with Jesus deciding a Milkshake was more appropriate

We were later joined by a few more MR2's including a Rev3 Spyder B)

All in all we had 24 cars in our group ranging from my little Corolla up to a R34 GTR kitted GTST Skyline and two highly powered Supras B) The carpark at MK was surprisingly full of a mix of cars mostly max'd bags of bolts but with the odd really tastey motor :) Had a good time and a good laugh at the old bill arresting some chavpondscum muppets after they were caught smoking reefers in their car

We eventually left after we couldn't take more of the cold at around 9:30pm

It was really good meeting up with old and new faces. Next time we will plan something a little warmer with a better choice of refreshments

It was nice to meet you all even though it was really cold. Myself and quiksilver (boyfriend NOT hubby :P ) had a good time, would have liked to have stayed longer but my tootsies were just too damn cold to be able to handle the weather. Looking forward to going to some more meets (when the weather is nicer). Really wish I had taken my Celica now so will defo be taking my car next time. Quiksilver said where are the piccies of his car.............

seems like a successful meet!

But one question, why have you got a miflands meet and a central meet? Isnt it practically the same region?

Would have bigger turnouts then :D

We have north, south, west, and east yorkshire coming to nothern meets, we dont have ones for each and we had 29 cars!

Just a thought ;)

From what I have been led to believ is that Central region caters for those in an area streaching from the M25 (southwards) up to Rugby/Warwickshire (northwards) and from Cambridgeshire (eastwards) to Stourport On Severn (westwards) and everything inbetween.

The Midlands region caters for those who live more north of the Central region but not as far north as the Northern Region (if that all makes sense). Naturally people are welcome to go to whichever meet they wish. Like for instance, If I weren't working on Sunday (daytime) I would have also gone to the Midlands Meet and the Central Meet. The venue where the Midlands meet was held is over two hours drive for most people who came to the central meet.

Just realised a small mistake... The bit of the M25 I am refering to is the streach above (north of) London. The central region does not include London.

Also a good guide is to follow the area from the M25 up the M1 to Rugby (M6 Junction) and the area between the M5 and the M11. Map below:
