Messer Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Where are the places to meet in Northwest? Im based in Warrington and have just got my westy on the road in the last 2 weeks and fancied a meet/run-out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waynem Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Hi, I'm based in Warrington too, but alas the car is still without seats, instruments and bodywork (and the small matter of the engine not being dropped in yet...... ) Give it a month or two ( I pick up the last bits of kit in a fortnight, followed by two weeks off work having a Buildfest) and there should be another local Westie.. Warrington is between a few WSCC areas, (Manchester, Merseyside, Cheshire) all pretty much as close as each other. There should be several transporters-worth of Westies in the area. I'm sure others with complete cars will be along soon!! Wayne M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kik1.6se Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 Have you been to any Manchester are meets? They take place in Chadderton 2nd Wednesday of the month (see Manchester area meet posts). If the weather is ok, we could organise a run out one evening or at the weekend. Not sure when Le mans people are back though. Anyother Manchester guys interested?
