Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: Thotos on July 24, 2009, 10:38:54 AM :o Oh $***!! I should be somewhere else that weekend Simon! We all agreed the dates while still in Turin so you can't claim other plans now! Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: simon131 on July 24, 2009, 11:14:34 AM It's not a 'claim' Theo, but a fact! I have a commitment five times every year, in the name of charity I might add, and one of those 'times' is the third Saturday in May. I'll just have to fit things in around it!
Incidentally, my Mother and Father have agreed to join us in the Black Forest too, (as well as Wendy and the kids) so it looks like I'll be trying to rent a Log Cabin or similar for a couple of weeks, so 3ma10 organisers, I'll need to know where to be looking as soon as possible ;D Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: Andy c on August 06, 2009, 04:50:29 PM It falls on our annerversary again so we WILL be going to this one

got the 131 and now got to book time off work , how many days before the friday and after monday are we convoying chaps , theo simon andy and graham?... Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: Thotos on October 07, 2009, 08:11:26 PM That's great news Jason :D Of course we don't yet know exactly where we are going to be based but the Black Forest area is under 7 hours drive from Calais so my thoughts at the moment is an early start on Thursday 13th May and get there in one day arriving at our hotel in time for dinner and a good night's rest before the festivities start on Friday morning. Similarly I expect to return home in a day on Tuesday 18th. But other people might have different plans in which case I'll be willing to adjust mine...

Have you had any thoughts on your route to the Black Forest? I suppose your main choices are (1) long ferry crossing to France and a long drive from there west to the Black forest or (2) short ferry crossing to the UK, long drive across the UK to Dover for short crossing to France and short(er) drive to the Black forest.

Looks very similar to the in Holland well loved german "Mannschaft" >:( :D Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: parrish on October 09, 2009, 05:54:22 AM Looks like ill be traveling from the UK ;D
Not so sure what car ill be in as the 131 is still in Spain and still not on the road. I may have to bring this:1984/5 LHD 35K (Genuine) (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/Bb73MhwmkKGrHqIOKioEq4JRK-uBKyRbeb9.jpg) (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/Bb73WrgBGkKGrHgoOKjwEjlLmV5FdBKyRcD.jpg) (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/Bb73jpQBGkKGrHqQOKiIEq49g4CNKBKyRcu.jpg) Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: simon131 on October 09, 2009, 07:15:54 AM You've got to be kidding Steve!! :o :o
If you bring that Ford with you mate you won't be driving it home cos it will be cut into small pieces by your fellow attendees! I'll be the one lighting the cutting torch and starting the crusher! ;D Get your 131 sorted/legal - what's the delay with the Spaniards this time Steve? You can get ?2,000 for that if you PX it for new car at the moment in the UK - and that's 2,000 times more than I'd give you for it. ::) ;) The XR3i must be the ultimate Nemesis of all Fiat 131 owners!! I detest them - even if this one does look like a fair example. They usually smoke like a steel works and rust faster than, erm, a Fiat ! :-\ Don't even think of bringng it to Germany! At least in the BMW you'll blend in with the locals! :D ;D :D Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: parrish on October 09, 2009, 07:33:32 AM HMMMMM!~ not a Fan of the Blue Oval then Simon ;D
Lovely car, why are you so afraid of it ::) Seriously though it may be that or the Beemer. Im in the middle of installing an OMEX ECU and EFI system, i was hoping to have her running this last month before i returned here to work, however their was a delay on the suppling of the throttle bodies so i couldnt get on with anything other than fit the roll cage. Throttle bodies and other goodies arrived the day i flew back here. Im now a month behind schedule, car will never be Spanish Legal so when im finnished ill have to send her back to the UK. Heres a couple of photos of the ongoing work Steve (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/PA051492.jpg) (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/P7201000.jpg) (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/P9201333.jpg) (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/P9201337.jpg) (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/P9201340.jpg) (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/PA031473.jpg) (http://i435.photobucket.com/albums/qq71/parrish_028/PA031475.jpg) And remember thosed place mats at the Mirafiori Village!

Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: 131akafa on October 10, 2009, 09:30:47 PM Here is one job done at least...! ;) (http://i766.photobucket.com/albums/xx305/kev132/3MA2010.jpg) ... well - ALMOST done ;) As (at least yet) there are no drunken and fallen belgians around (no offence meant) it should look a bit more like this: (http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2459/3999241128_8813324712.jpg) Nethertheless thanks for your effort. I'm working on making it more precisely than Black Forest. @Steve: Congrats for that clean example. But before you get it demolished we should be able to organize something italian :D (worst case at the moment: '93 Tipo 1.6 i.e. SX ;D) Looking forward to meet you all, cheers, Ren Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: parrish on October 14, 2009, 02:17:57 PM OK 3MA (Theo. Kev. Simon.) some question's that i need to ask, maybe ill get answer's maybe not.
As you know my car is in Spain and im trying my hardest to get it to 3MA10. I will have to leave 3MA10 on the Monday as i have to get back to Doha for the Wednesday, so i am looking for a suitable airport. I have options of taking the car back to the UK after 3MA or back to Spain or leave it with some one in storage for a month or so. If i knew where 3MA11 was to be it would make my descision easier. Its too far to drive back to Spain in time for flying back to work (2013km) and my base in the UK is 1326km, again to far to travel in a day and a half, which is the time i will have to catch a flight here in time for work. I have no posibility of extending my leave as my current employer is not at all flexible with dates. Q1) So any ideas 3MA11? Perhaps a discusion thread! (Nederland would do me or Wales or Ireland) Q2) Who in the forum lives nearest Gatwick/Heathrow? I may need to park the car up and fly to Doha and pick her up a month later. Of course the car isnt running yet but i do need to plan just incase. Steve Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: Thotos on October 14, 2009, 02:27:05 PM Here's a quick reply:
A1: NO IDEA. But I can say it won't be Ireland (done that, been there got the T-shirt and all that) and unlikely to be Wales as we've done the UK. Netherlands might be a good place or Belgium or France or how about you organise it in Spain? A2: UK Southeast (active) members are me, Simon, Andy, Graham, Jason (the 'Famous Five') but I think Simon is the closest to Gatwick with Andy a close second. Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: simon131 on October 14, 2009, 02:33:46 PM Hi Steve,
To be honest 3MA11 hasn't been discussed between us at all yet, although I did make a halfhearted suggestion that could be England. Let's get 3MA10 out of the way first. ;D We don't usually discuss such things until we're actually participating in a 3MA, i.e. we discussed 08 at 07 and discussed 09 at 08 - I'm sure you get the picture. I live pretty close to Heathrow (about half an hour) and Theo lives a little further away (about 45 mins) so either of us are pretty close. ;) Gatwick is about 50 mins for me - probably similar for Andy in Eastbourne. Cheers for now Simon Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: parrish on October 15, 2009, 05:50:19 AM OK im going to gamble on 3MA11 being in Northern Europe so ill have to take the car back to the UK 3MA10.
As for organising the 3MA11 in Spain! Yes i would love to, and im confident i could do an excellent job (with some help), plenty of beautifull roads here and places to go and see, even local car clubs would be interested, however its just not practicable, ive driven UK to Spain several times now on bikes and cars and the journey time is just to long, just as long for those from Holland/Germany/Italy etc even if you get the ferry Portsmouth to Santander you spend 2 and a half days on a boat, and if your on a driving holiday who would want to do that. For my 2 penneth worth i think England, combined with some car show somewhere for 3MA11, lets leave Spain until some other time, maybe 3MA12 (the european tour and visit as many countries as possible in a week!) ::) See you at 3MA10 ;) Hopefully! Steve PS: migth be looking for a month or so's storage May 2010 in the South East. Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: simon131 on October 15, 2009, 07:11:27 AM As I said Steve, lets get 3MA10 out of the way before we decide on 3MA11 ;) ;D
I'm sure I could accommodate another 131 at home for a while in May 10 if you like, as long as you don't mind it not being stored a heated, colour coded garage for a month! ;) :D :D But I'm afraid cars with the blue oval badge will have to use the long stay car park at the airport - any airport! :D :D :D :D Title: Re: 3ma10 dates Post by: eugene on October 26, 2009, 02:21:51 PM You can count me in as well ;).It is just 7months away from now ;D.Really looking forward to it.Eugene Good to hear that Eugene. Have you had any thoughts on your route to the Black Forest? I suppose your main choices are (1) long ferry crossing to France and a long drive from there west to the Black forest or (2) short ferry crossing to the UK, long drive across the UK to Dover for short crossing to France and short(er) drive to the Black forest. Regarding 3ma2011,next year Scotland is to vote on wheather they want to be part of Uk or not,so if the result is that want to become an independent state,then 3ma2011 could be held in England.I did hear a mention that that 3ma2011 was going to be in Holland(Hi Albert/Ela).Wherever it will be,if i am alive i will be there ;D ;).Eugene |
