Falix 22 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 Hi all, Not used forums properly for years, but figured I wanted to get stuck in again. I bought my WR Blue BRZ back in October, and documented collecting it and driving round the Highlands here: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=47&t=1631757&nmt=The+Scottish+Subaru+BRZ+adventure&mid=162448 Will try to get to some meets this year, seen a few around Milton Keynes now, so a local meet could be fun, it got suggested on the Facebook page but I've deactivated my account. Thanks! 3 TTR, DanJ and Ztox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 Congrats on the purchase and a very good way of getting to know the car round the 500. You are well placed for meets. It's still the middle of winter so there is a limit to what is happening, but keep an eye on the events and social meets section for stuff coming up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mikey P 32 Report post Posted January 9, 2017 Another member local to MK, does your car now have aftermarket smoked rear lights now? If not I saw another blue brz last weekend too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, rear lights have to go, the car needs an exhaust and ideally a set of 18s with some sticky rubber on. I'd like it lower but live near some horrible speed bumps, and quite like just sailing over them now. Boost eventually, or an engine swap, depends on funds. 14 hours ago, Mikey P said: Another member local to MK, does your car now have aftermarket smoked rear lights now?

Totally up for local meets! 1 Ztox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ztox 230 Report post Posted January 10, 2017 Haha, I didn't mind the LED rings on the rear lights but that aside they made me feel sick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Until the evenings get a bit lighter I guess weekends are going to be better than weekday evenings for a local meet. I can do either of the last two weekends in February, any good for you guys @Falix @TTR @Mikey P ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably, helping my housmate prep his MK1 Golf for Ultimate Dubs mid March, so earlier in Feb suits me, but we run a weather risk. I don't mind holding on till the weather breaks and we can do midweek evenings? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ztox 230 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 If you do a weekend and the weather is okay I'd probably be happy to drive up to a meet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanJ 374 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 I can't do early February, so shall we go for the 18th Feb and try to organise one for March as well? Plenty of good pubs/restaurants in MK to work round :-) 1 TTR reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DanJ 374 Report post Posted January 12, 2017 I'm eating there on Sunday so I'll have a word with them about it then. 1 TTR reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJ 374 Report post Posted January 20, 2017 I'm definitely going to be without my car on the 18th Feb whilst its in the bodyshop, but still up for a get together and a bite to eat that day. We ended up eating at the Old Beams last Sunday, but I'll be at the Prince George on Weds next week so will speak to them then. 1 TTR reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Falix 22 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 @DanJ Any reviews on places? Caldecotte arms is well used meet location, the food is OK but not amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey P 32 Report post Posted January 31, 2017 I would agree caldecotte arms is a good location for meet, i havve organised lotus Elise meets there years ago and been to mr2 and mx5 meets there (might want to miss the mx5 owners club meet night as there is alot of them) . Car park is large and would be able to all park down one end away for general public it's also fairly well lit for evening meets. The food is ok and very cheap.

DanJ 374 Report post Posted February 1, 2017 There's plenty of parking at The Prince George as well and the food is nicer but pricier. The Caldecotte Arms is just round the corner from me, but I don't have a strong preference either way. @Mikey P do you know which night the MX5 owners club meets so we can avoid? There's a midland breakfast meet on the 18th February now, so we don't conflict shall we go for 25th February instead at the Caldecotte Arms? 1 TTR reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey P 32 Report post Posted February 1, 2017 Think the mx5 lot meet on a Thursday Eve (2nd or 3rd of month I think) weekends are more busy with general public though, personally can't do 25th but go with what ever suits others as will never please all, and I will try and make the month after.
