Briskodians in Carlisle?

mac67 · 04-11-2007, 22:10

Was in Carlisle this morning getting a cheap dual core lap top in Staples for £350, bargain

Saw a Fabia VRS SE but it had no Brisky sticker and i saw 2 black Octy VRs's but no stickers again. I will catch one of you, one day lol.

I'd be up for the mini meet Ian, just pick a pub with a big carpark so we can all park together to admire the machinery as well as the ale, ha ha!

Captain Scarlet · 04-11-2007, 22:30

Sounds a good deal on the computer there. If you fancy some vRS spotting there's definately 6 within a mile of mine. I wonder if they could be converted to Briskoda.

I will have a think about a suitable pub. Not sure about a weekend at the moment as I'm quite busy until the new year. I don't know about the rest of you, I'd welcome your comments. Also would people prefer Carlisle, or somewhere more central like Penrith. The hunt for a pub car park is on.

Hello there Hebrew. Do you know if there are any other Fabia vRS SE's in Penrith? I think I've passed your car a few times. My wife works in Penrith and occasionally takes my car, and we have some good friends in Penrith.

Mike Wrightson · 04-11-2007, 23:14

Mini-meet would be cool, though I'm not often off work on weekends during the day. Evenings are fine tho!

jasc1988 · 05-11-2007, 19:04

Just to let you lot know i was in Carlisle on Friday night and think i saw the old Star Performance car! i had my briskoda sticker on the front window and the lad was looking at my car for ages lol.

Was a yellow 04 (think) vrs with audi antharcite alloys on it

i was driving a black 04 vrs with newer shape rear ligths on - and my car was glistening

I think there could be 4 altogether, 2 are local registered mines on a 51 plate and i've seen a WG07*** reg one as well, a few times.
Whats your car, i've seen a silver Octy vrs quite a bit on the back Carlisle road these last few weeks.

Captain Scarlet · 05-11-2007, 23:11

I'm driving a race blue mk2 octy vrs, 56 plate. Will be seen on the M6 if the wife's driving it, and occasionally on the A6 between jct 41 and 40 if I'm driving it. Will be down in it quite a bit on the run up to Christmas with various parties and concerts.

As you can probably tell Mac67 is very jealous of my car.

Hope I can some sort of meeting arranged, would you be interested?

blackmagic · 05-11-2007, 23:33

I'm coming over to the Lakes next weekend, shall look out for you all.

I was in the car too!

Does you number plate start with 'O_04' ? Or something along those lines?

Captain Scarlet · 06-11-2007, 19:48

Glad to see everyone thats around. Well done H Bomb. Definately starting to plan a meet now if thats ok with everyone. Hopefully see you all soon.

Mike Wrightson · 06-11-2007, 23:47

I will be getting to finish work at 4:15pm on saturdays until after Xmas at least, so that saves a bit of time

Curious to see the Punto too Sharkrider, never even looked into the showroom at one.

Nope starts with a Y

goes something like YN04 LOA

Not really bothered about posting on a web site as people can see it in the street / on the road anyway

The Count is a complete tart it has to be said

Yeah! I noticed the OEM numberplate - being a computer techie an all that, seemed funny lol. Mr Buzzbee now has vRS spoiler, due to Dean of Dumfries cocking up ordering a replacement spoiler when the old one faded!

See ya round!

Mike Wrightson · 10-11-2007, 21:21

Couldn't resist the plate when I saw it

Guys, I may be able to swap a shift and get a saturday off, just let me know !

mac67 · 12-11-2007, 22:48

Lookin forward to this already, hope it doesn't clash with when i've got my son cause i'm afraid it would come a poor second, fingers crossed though eh?

Any chance of an upate Ian? Nice new avatar BTW

Yes my new avatar is rather nice. Pic taken from a proper car

Spent 2 hours cleaning her and dressing tyres on Sunday so was an ideal opportunity to try an idea I had, I'm pleased with it.

Should have picked an appropriate venue in the next couple of days, and I think maybe a couple of dates would be good. If people fancy a quick drive as well I'll scout some roads, could be tricky depending on the weather. Hoping for a good turn out. I'll keep you all posted and start a new thread

Fab VeRSe · 13-11-2007, 08:13

I wish to place a provisional booking for the mini meet, as I live due South approx. 45 miles.

Captain Scarlet · 13-11-2007, 08:24

Excellent. I'll get a new thread started asap. Have a pub in mind and I'll check the car park today as well as a route around that area.

Nice one Tys, you know it makes sense, will be good to catch up, how long is it now? 20 years-ish?

Eh, you mean you sat in a Fabia vRS parked up behind your ramshackle machine just to take a photo of the back of your barge? Now that's what i call extravagance... LOL

Mike Wrightson · 13-11-2007, 17:02

Looking like quite a big mini-meet then, cool!
