Hey Everyone,

After the recent success of the last midlands meet, i'd like to put it into an open vote as to when you'd like the next one to be organised on:

Early June (4/5, 11/12 or 17/18)

Early July (2/3, 9/10, 16/17) - Avoiding the NC500 week hopefully!

Late August (20/21, 27/28)

For those that attended to the last event, would you like to go back to the same Venue, or, would you like me to look for another one (tour-de-Midlands!), and if you have some suggestions for locations, post them below.

Votes open, i'll supply the roasting weather again, bring your suncream :headbonk:!

I'll go for either early July or late August - but definitely can't do 16th July.

As a suggestion for something a little different, how about a bit of a tour? Last Sunday I quite enjoyed bouncing from home to Shelsley to Walsall to Whitchurch to home; best of both worlds - got to meet up with everyone and also lots of time to enjoy the car from the drivers seat.

We don't necessarily have to convoy (a bit too much like having to hold hands! :D), but we could meet at Point A at a specific time, say for a bacon sandwich (essential start to any driving day!) and to talk some bo:censored:cks about cars, then meet at Point B at a specified time for a cup of tea and more talking bo:censored:cks - then on to Point C etc etc, but it's up to you which route you take between points, we don't all have to follow each other .... and remember; it's not a race! :thumbsup:.

I was thinking either Peak District or Welsh Wales out towards Lake Bala - some good driving roads and alternative route choices.

Just a suggestion :cheers:.

Gone for late August but probably up for any dates to be fair. Just have a lot going on between now & the NC500!

Like the idea of a tour actually. That pub was great but it felt a little like we were imposing - the pub was super busy and I bet there were some that didn't like us being there. Especially with Gibbos parking ;)

Maybe find somewhere we can spread out a bit, maybe get our own BBQ on :cheers:

P.s. I got mad BBQ skills :)

Fyi, from the 'cone' backwards, we had as our parking. I doubt they expected the pub to be that busy, but, all of that parking was actually ours (He'd given us 20 spaces)!

had a call from him on Tuesday asking if it was okay for him to use the pictures he took, on social media etc, told him on behalf of us all, he was more than welcome to, said he was more than happy for us to come down again, so wouldn't worry about imposing too much :clap2:!

Tried to keep dates away from NC500 runs and such as deffo not going to impose on that with all the mammoth effort that's gone in from the guys :).


There's plenty of fields, etc around where I live, more than happy to take you guys on a few cruises around there, up into the peak district and around some of the roads up there. Can just imagine us cruising through matlock and into the peaks, with like 10+ Mustangs in the blistering sun :cool:

That was one of the best bits - in your face, non-mustang drivers!

I'm up for a Matlock Cruise :)
11/12 June or Late August
Matlock would be great but there's sod-all parking anywhere. At least get some backdrops approaching the McMustang stunning scenery.

Early July would work for me as I have plans on 9/10 of July and August Ian away every weekend. June is a push as will barely have the car.

Who said we'd be parking in Matlock, just driving through then cutting into the peaks :headbonk:!

What Peaks? Twin Peaks?
Is that the Hooters event back on! :lol::lol:
No, not Twin Peaks, (is that a subtle warcraft reference or is that just my youthful sadness catching up...)

Peak District.

Twin Peaks is a brand of bars in the USA similar to Hooters but even less subtle in their choice of waitress clothing.
