Where is Graves Park Car Park? I don't know that part of Sheffield very well! Might as well make it 3 red 156's...

Yup... sorry guys...
Ian this is were we are meeting prior to the trip down to Italauto's.(Graves park/Animal Farm car park...11:30)
I'm popping over to Tony's new place on Thursday so I'll post the directions for you all thursday evening...
Lets hope we have a big thaw as its a like an ice ring around the sheffield 8 area at the mo...


ilscuro ...I'm already starting to drool at the thought of your spider arriving on saturday

[dhillon]

Lets hope the ice/snow thaws for SATURDAY, my poor 147 is full of flipping road salt, got back from Gran Canarias last night, so lucky that East Midlands airport was open for flights coming in! Motorway after junc 26 lst night was hell, as was the A61 off junc 29 into sheffield!

[davedrfc]

If the weather is still bad I'm afraid I'll have to give it a miss. I'm on nights Friday night so I don't fancy getting up early to skid my way into Chesterfield! So here's hoping for a big thaw!

[maz24]

Hey guys.
I've been up to Tony's this afternoon.All the roads from Sheffield into Chesterfield (A61)are clear and I'm told from the M1 into chessie (A617) is clear to. Fingers crossed the snow will start to clear. Heres a little map for those of you that are unsure of the directions:-

PS....Dont ask me how i did the photobucket piccie as my 18y/o step son did it..

[rangie2008]

I'll be there

[NickD]

Sadly I cant make it, I had my engine reconditioned two weeks ago and wanted to turn up to meet other owners, but my road in Sheffield is so steep and as yet the ice hasn't melted..... maybe in the morning

Nickd

[ian145]

Route sorted

Now all I have to do is shift 6in of snow off the car and drive in the morning and I see you all there

[ian145]

[maz24]

Advice taken...

[rangie2008]

Sorry to have missed you guys I arrived later in the afternoon. Thanks to Tony and his team for the hospitality. The new premises are very impressive.
They gave my new spider a full service on last Monday, I think it was the first car they had in. Excellent job and now running spot on.
Best Wishes to Ital Auto's and hope to make the next meet on time!

[davedrfc]

Rangie whereabouts in Retford do you live? I grew up there and only left 2 years ago when I moved over to Sheffield. Still come back fairly often to my parents so might see you around!

[rangie2008]

Hi

Currently living in Ranskill but working in Retford now. Need to update the pic on the site as I've changed to a Lusso model in Silver . Great to have a Power Roof just waiting for the sun! Not many Spiders about around here
