  1. Hi All, Anyone fancy a trip through the famous Blackpool illuminations and a bag of chips and a chat? We did one last year but in December, dry but cold and we just caught the chippy before it shut!!! It would be a last minute 'ish' notice to fit in with the weather maybe a Monday or Wednesday in October. Last time we met at 7.30pm at B&Q Blackpool drove through the lights, didn't stop to take a photo by the tower (will rectify that this year!!!) and had some chips (may need to find an open one before the trip) Let me know Darrell
  2. with apologies, I cannot now make this, unless things change but this will be last minute
  3. Hi, I would like to gauge opinion as to what you want to do as a NW England member of the UK Kit Car Club. Please could I ask you to spend a few moments and answer the questions on the link below. By doing this it will give me an indication as to what to expect and who is interested in doing what. Many thanks Darrell NW Area Secretary https://forms.office.com/e/eLuSisEWPE
  4. Hi All, Well that was an interesting day, in a great way and very different. Five Club mates met up today (13/08/23) at the NT car park, Alderley Edge, parked in reserved parking places, chatted about our cars/ weather/ etc before the rain drove us to the mining museum where Phil showed us around explaining and amazing us with his knowledge of the area and the copper mining operations that have been in evidence for thousands of years. We then donned hard hats and made our way to one of the mines to have a look round, it was a 'hole' too far for me!! But the other intrepid explorers ventured deep under ground. A great venue for future club meets with chance to see the mines, have a drive out from there as a club (need a local club member to use their knowledge for this) or just have a chat over a brew at the nearby tea room (something we didn't get round to today) One for next year me thinks. I have included a selection of photos I took and I know others took some so more to follow. Thanks to Steve (Foz), Nathaniel (GambolGold), Ian (IanS), Phil (phil lilley) for a great club meet up. Here's to the next one Darrell
  5. Fabulous, fingers crossed for some dry weather

  13. Fab, Fingers crossed for favourable weather, thanks for replying.
  14. As it stands now with the weather forecast, I wont be venturing over to Newark, but never say never will review in the morning
  15. Let's all meet up! Hi All, Let's all have a drive out and meet up. One of the members (Phil Lilley) has very kindly organised and reserved 12 parking places for us to all use, park together and chat. To cap it all there is a small tea room on site to grab a brew. When - Sunday 13th August Time - 10am Where - National Trust Car Park, Alderley Edge, SK10 4UB Phil also has offered a look around the nearby mines (helmets and lamps provided) for those interested. All we need is some lovely August weather, I will be there, who else? Really could do with knowing who is coming just in case we need to reserve any more parking places Check your diaries and let me know. Also any one else interested in joining the 'what's app' group, might be easier to communicate important info on the day of this and any other planned events rather than messaging on this forum. Send me a personal message with your mobile number and I can add you. Thanks, Darrell.
  16. As you all know it's the Newark Kit Car Show this weekend. I have my eyes firmly fixed on the weather apps/ reports, keeps changing!!!! If it looks favourable I am still planning a trip down on the Saturday via the Woodhead Pass, fingers crossed. Who else is watching the weather or even going whatever?

    Re the emissions test - mine is a 2010 car (2l Pinto 1989) but my V5 gives no emissions test values, where I take it to MOT they don’t measure all the hydrocarbons etc - does your V5 give any values?
  20. Had a great run out today, unfortunately I was billy no mates Did the above mentioned route in reverse, stopped for a brew at the Goat Gap cafe and had a great drive. Anyone else go out for a run? post some details on here, if you plan any drive outs and would like company put the details on the NW Events section and I am sure someone may join you and we can get the area members together. have fun everyone.
  21. Hi All, Here's a suggestion we meet up at this car meet at 11am, then leave about noon and go on a drive out pick up the A59 out of Preston, A682 at Gisburn onto the A65 stopping for a brew at the Goat Gap Cafe, Newby, continue on A65, left onto A687, then A683 and A6 south to Guys thatched hamlet where we can all go our own way back home. Alternatively meet up at the BP service station, by the Tickled Trout hotel at M6 junction 31 at 11am and drive the route suggested above. let me know what you prefer to do, my thought is the latter suggestion. Thoughts
  22. Hi Neil, have a fabulous trip, I look forward to reading your updates
