Nice Lady in Wetherby

Sue&Steve · Post by **Sue&Steve** » Thu Sep 05, 2002 12:32 am

My first wave ever - Wetherby at about 6.15pm Weds. Sorry - was paying more attention to someone I was trying to let in from my left (so all I know is that the CC was Moonstone or aluminium). Luvverly warm Yorkshire evening - roll on an Indian Summer. (I was Aegean 2.00 cc - no mods at all!)

PS- Do you find that you're a more mellow, considerative, driver with the roof down?

You spotted me!

My horse lives between Wetherby and Spofforth and I was on my way home from feeding, mucking out etc. I passed you just about by the police station if I remember rightly. I was feeling very down as horse is poorly at the moment and your lovely big wave was indeed good therapy - I drove all the way home with a big smile on the outside and inside.

I do find I am more considerate when driving with the roof down - it gives people more chance to look at the car. I also don't get wound up about traffic jams for the same reason. Oh no I'm turning into a poser!!!!

P.S. It is also me that your brother spots on Garforth Station!!

Hope your horse is on the up and up soon!

Thanks Frosty,

It has been a long job I haven't ridden her since March and having the CC has definitely helped as it has given me something else to think about. I take her back to the vet tommorrow for another X-ray so everything is crossed!

Will keep fingers and toes crossed for you as well - I'm an animal lover and I know what it's like. Hope all goes well!

Knew we'd run into you Burge (not literally - that would be v bad luck. What are the odds on a 2 x 206cc collision?) one day in or around E.Leeds!

What's your horse's name? Best of luck with her recovery.

Her name is Rosie but on a Sunday she is "Glendales Grey Ghost". Haven't had many Sundays though due to F&M last year and injury this. Horsebox did 90 miles between Mot's! Nice to see you by the way. We must all get together. I seem to remember you saying you were civil servants in a previous post. Hubby used to be before being outsourced to EDS. Are you based in Leeds?

Hmmmmm ... A Leeds mini meet maybe????

I'm definitely up for a Leeds/Yorkshire (anybody else that wants to come!) mini meet. Suggestions as to where. Somewhere nice in the country that is nice to drive to. I will get my thinking cap on and get back to you. The Scotts Arms in Sicklinghall just outside Wetherby is very nice. Food is nice - just a little bit dearer than usual pub grub but well worth it.

Burge,

Has your 'thinking cap' come up with any ideas yet? apart from The Scotts Arms in Sicklinghall that is

Burge · Post by **Burge** » Mon Sep 09, 2002 1:47 pm

Hi Paul-T,

No haven't thought of anywhere else yet. My local has a huge car park and is easily accessible from the A1 (3 miles) M1 (3 miles) and M62 (about 7 miles). This would be ideal for anyone wanting to travel from further away than Leeds. Will try and think of other places when I get home.

Well Burge - looks like all the rest of us have nominated you as organiser of a local meet for local people. Serves you right for having so many posts!

We'll come along, wherever.

Burge · Post by **Burge** » Tue Sep 10, 2002 1:33 pm

Hi Sue&Steve,

If you have a preference for anywhere you would like to go I am open to suggestions. Ideally somewhere easily accessible for everyone, nice big car park. Doesn't have to be a pub but we're a bit short on theme parks round here!

In fact if anyone who would like to come along has any ideas let me know.

I will put a post on the discussion section and see how we go on.
