Detailing meet

[Iain S]

I know I am a newbie here - but what's this Detailing Meet all about? I see it on other regional sections?

Has there been one here in N.I.? I for one would be up for it :buffer: :thumb:

[andyollie]

dont think we have had one, would be up for it too

[R6TH M]

me too, as long as you dont get every eejit off rms jon44 etc coming along!! just the guys off here!

[andyollie]

me too, as long as you dont get every eejit off rms jon44 etc coming along!! just the guys off here!

good point, just keep it posted on this board.

[martyn]

I'm in too...

Some of you guys have bits and bobs I would love to try before buying....

Works both ways too!! I have a load off stuff as well I could bring along...

[Iain S]

Ok so that's four of us then? What about a location?

[andyollie]

im not bothered where, i suppose audio advice is central to most, but for me it will have to be after 14th May cos the audi is away at the min gettting an Alpine install, (sshhhhhh dont tell ian) :P,

plus if we hold it at audio ian can sell me that new alpine screen im after

[martyn]

The only other person I can think off is Marc off RMS...

He has a pc too and would probably be interested!

We have a good selection of paint types - audi, vauxhall, toyota, ford...

But agreed keep this in this forum...

[R6TH M]

Im sure neal will want to go, hes turned into a cleaning freak. And maybe baz c - but he might think hes too good for it, lol

[andyollie]

yep was gonna say baz c , and neal will deffo go i would say

[martyn]

LOL.... We will need a warehouse at this rate.....

I suppose if people post then thats the way to do it??

[bazc]

maybe baz c - but he might think hes too good for it, lol

You said it :p

[Iain S]

Eh? - nah - not at my work. Anyone got a decent garage etc; Can anyone think of an alternative that's quite handy for us all? :speechles

[martyn]

humm.....????

Why dont you bring the cars and enter them in the Show and Shine competition at Lisburn on the 17th June.That was you all get to met up and show your cars at the same time.
By the look of things its going to be a good show and now has Lindsay Cars as a sponser.
Various trophies will be awarded and the show and shine class will be open to all makes of cars not just Fords.
You are all more than welcome.

Cheers Sean...............

mmm..... but i really wanna get the masking tape out, and not the spray wax :(

[SEANG]

Think you might be suprised by some of cars which will be attending this show some of the following are to be confimed but should include National Day Concourse winning Escorts Cosworths,fully restored RS's and Capri's,an original 6,000 mile mk2 RS2000 an RS2000 which has undergone a £20,000 restoration to full concourse condtion,cars such as the fully restored Capri from The Professionals,an RS1800-which was Roger Clarks road car and other mint condition RS's/FORDS which should cover almost the full range of RS's/FORDS manufactured.
Youll find a lot of these cars have not just been detailed with spraywax and are prepared to very high standards.

Come and have a look should be a good day.

Cheers Sean.............

[martyn]

I wish I could go sean.... but as I said before I have to work...

I agree with andyollie though... It would be nice to get the pc's out... plus a outside meet with our great weather to turn out to be a bit of a disaster....

Just my opinion though....

[R6TH M]

yep was gonna say baz c , and neal will deffo go i would say

are we talking about the same Neal here?? lol

Not many of us have pc's cough cough

[andyollie]

im talkin bout neal autobond

[R6TH M]

lol im talkin about neal my bf lol

[91davidw]

Hi, all

Just joined after finding a link on the www.clubgti.co.uk forum

Been reading some great guides & tips on here & what makes it better is we got a N.Ireland section for ourselves!

If you are sorting a meet & won't mind me coming along I would like to see how a pc works as the guide makes very interesting reading.

Should be at the show on the 17th June, look forward to maybe meeting some of you there. Hope the weathers good.

Cheers
David

I would be up for this as well, just got my PC and transformer.
Switched it on at speed 6 and it scared the ***** out of me.
are you sure this thing isn't going to buff the paint off my car :D

[Jmax]

Sooooo.............................

Does anyone have a big barn or anything?

doubt anyone will have one big enough for about 14 cars

probably best to find somewhere like a car audio workshop and take turns to bring the cars inside ;)

[Norn Iron Scrubber]

Going to have to pull out of the meet, was driving up the road on thursday and my engine went bang, followed by some smoke, turns out the timing belt snapped :(

So dont know when Im going to be back on the road, sorry.

[Polo_Power]

so looking for someone with a spare warehouse then?? lol:doublesho
hmm,

[Polo_Power]

Where is every one from? makes sense finding a place that suits most, ill soon have my exams done so most any day suits n im ordering a PC tommorrow so would love some advice in person!! hmm!
venue is the problem then iwould offer my place could use the double garage but doubt i got room for all the cars sayin that mite be able to squeeze.

[Tigger]

I'd be up for this :)

[db_abz]

Are you guys and girls any closer to getting a meet together?

I'm coming over on Sunday and staying in Dromore for a week, I'd love to meet up with some of you!

Dave

ah dave, ur missing a mint car show on saturday up that country, u heading to the north coast on ur travels?

[db_abz]

Staying with friends Andy, probably getting drunk a lot!

Still, while I'm there we might as well get some sightseeing done, anywhere I should or shouldn't miss?

Dave

[martyn]

Dave... give me a shout.... I live 2 miles from the centre of dromore:thumb:

[db_abz]

PM sent, cheers Martyn

Dave

[db_abz]

Well, back from my first trip to N.Ireland and I'm very happy :thumb:

Nice place...... went to Belfast, Newry, Newcastle, Lisburn, Banbridge and a couple of other places I can't remember right now!

Excellent weather and very friendly people and some of the country houses we passed are to die for!........the only down side was that we were staying in a farmhouse about 8 miles outside Drumore and we could never agree on who was going to be designated driver so we spent every night in the house getting drunk instead!

Hopefully be going back next year and I'll make more of an effort to meet up with some guys on here.

Dave

[R6TH M]

ooh you should have said!! Im not that far from dromore! glad u had a nice time :)

[darylb]

Did the meet ever happen? I'd also be up for a meet if it was some weekend, I live in Dublin during the week, you should see the crap that comes out of the sky every day down here...covers your car!

[Jmax]

nah the meet never happened as we couldnt find a suitable venue for it

[Ronnie]

What about a lock up...... There is a big lock up in Portadown on the Brownstown Road i'm sure we could get a short term use of one.... If everyone chips a few quid in and if everyone behaves and we dont get booted out it could become a regular thing?! I knew a guy who kept a car down there whilst he built it to keep it out of the wifes sight and it was a great place there was also a few lads who worked on cars there too so there must be good power supplies and plenty of room to work around.
