The Southwest monthly big meet at Exeter - 2nd friday of the month - 8:30pm

[Aaron182.]

I've just accepted a swap offer on mine
For a Diesel.... Haha. Will have to treat myself to a 197 for Xmas.

 

[BoatNonce]

It's going?!? Rubbish. Diesel what? Clio?

 

[Aaron182.]

Yeah next weekend. 207 1.6 hdi GT
It will allow me to save an extra £100 a week just in fuel alone.

 

[BoatNonce]

So would taking pops and bangs off lol

Still free to pop along to meets

 

[Aaron182.]

Ill always be at meets. The beef burger was bloody good

 

[Ed.200]

I want some GoPro of your car of possible before it goes Aaron. If your up for it.

200 will be cheaper round then

 

[Aaron182.]

Yeah im up for that. But she's going on Friday.

I'm hoping the 200's drop in price a little when the 200T's are out.
Potential to run 2 cars then.

 

[The Fatty]

I went to put the p&b map on mine last weekend, but the copy of the map I have wont work on my car for some reason So will have to order a new copy sometime soon.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah next weekend. 207 1.6 hdi GT

100 quid a week less in fuel?

how many miles a week do you do? Surely would need to be more than a couple of thousand before the fuel savings were anything like that much?

 

[Aaron182.]

An average week is 3 tanks of fuel.
1 for work wish is 200 miles. (Of heavy traffic)
And 2 more over the Friday, Saturday Sunday.
Just driving to the Exeter meet was half a tank of fuel there and back.

So yeah ill be saving anything between 50 and 100 a week in fuel. Not to mention 200 a year in road tax and 500 on insurance. Hopefully repair/modification costs will be less aswell.

 

[The Fatty]

I can get to London on half a tank! What's your MPG showing?! A round trip to Exeter shouldn't be taking that much...

 

[Aaron182.]

27mpg. At 70mpg I can get to London on a tank.

 

[The Fatty]

that's low for a 182. Coming down from London last Monday I was on 41mpg!! It normally sits at 36/37mpg.

 

[Aaron182.]

I've never managed to get into the high 30's. let alone a 40. Best I've seen was 34 on a run.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Something badly wrong with your car then!

 

[Aaron182.]

Shame it's going.

crazy ????

I had petrol up to 1 line about half for the Exeter meet. £25 it was, came back to Plymouth after ragging my car through the moors went down to 35MPG at the low point. 39MPG then came back to Plymouth had just under half a tank left

great meet again the drunk man made the evening 'I have just put the kettle on and now I am going for a piss' thanks for that!! had a fun drive back home but when Macgherkin gets a Renaultsport........ god help his right foot!

Thanks for the waxes Ed will use these next week.

see you all again for the next one. Great to see you all

 

[Ed.200]

Yeh i am free pretty much all the time lol, so just give me a shout.

As for fuel I managed 160 miles from home to Exeter on about 1/3 of a tank, which was about 34/5 mpg going via a303. Meets usualy take up 1/4 of a tank on cruise at 70 fat heavy car

 

[The Fatty]

Aww I missed out on the waxes!!!

 

[Ed.200]

Will see if I get some more next time I am home or ask Lesley or plymcl of they will share with you lol

 

[The Fatty]

they have enough to share

 

[plymcl172]

I don't see how I can share them lol they are tiny

 

[lesley]

I don't see how I can share them lol they are tiny

lol i got one big and one small and half used!

 

[Ed.200]

You got 2 each, depends how greedy you are with them I found that I didnt need that much to cover the car.

If you were more of a regular Fatty, you may have got them haha (just a joke i understand there are other things more important) But dont worry will see how many more batches are done, there are a few on the go atm
​
Lesley - try and persuade her to come down if you chat to her

 

[plymcl172]

Fatty has only been to 1 Exeter meet! Don't think he likes us lol

​ha ha yeah right!!!

haha. No i'm just a very busy person with to much work / not enough time! I was working until about 11pm on Friday. You will probably be seeing more of me over the summer when work quietens down

I was at the RR meet which ended up in Exeter, does that count?

 

[Chip-mk1]

FLOL! No chance, Dawn is practically a hermit, she hates venturing far from home.

 

[Ed.200]

FLOL! No chance, Dawn is practically a hermit, she hates venturing far from home.

Thats why she needs more persuading / telling. She wasnt totally opposed to the idea, I quote "Ay would be good." but there were 'time' issues apparently.

And you survived India then

@fatty - I know mate, will try and get some from the next batch

 

[Chip-mk1]

Yeah survived it just about, the roads were mental! I had to pay SO much attention when riding a motorbike, not like over here at all.

 

[plymcl172]

Just a reminder for next week weather is really picking up so hope this will be a good one

 

[BoatNonce]

Yup. Bring it.

​Chip should be unbanned by then too.

 

[plymcl172]

Such a shame I am not allowed to say what I think about this subject..... oh well

Looking forward to it

 

[plymcl172]

So what with the nice weather and Ed wanting some shots how about we meet in Sainsburys car park at 19.15 ish and drive through the moors to Ashburton ?? Then on too Exeter

 

[BoatNonce]

If you can keep up

(have to leave earlier if we're doing pics)

 

[Ed.200]

Yeh might have to earlier than that.
And only if its not rainy or crap weather! Not worth it.

Sounds like i will defiantly have to wash it now lol.

 

[plymcl172]

Don't remind me..... stupid 1.2 only way I can get away from u is hit a corner at 90mph but I am not doing that lol

Won't be a long shot just a few

Will bring the waxes The Fatty if u are coming?

 

[Richy182.]

Where do people meet in Taunton? And at what time?

 

[Chip-mk1]

Where do people meet in Taunton? And at what time?

We dont have a specific Taunton meeting, but if you want to meet up tomorrow we could do something like 7:45 at hankridge retail park?

 

[Shifty.]

I'm usually always about somewhere, if I'm not on the lash tomorrow night I'd meet.
