Work time, lads
>tfw brit meet has enough interest to be on its 4th thread
>>14921175
The hype has died down but I guess everyone is in that chat thing now, I need to get the app for phone really as I'm never home on the PC anymore.
>>14921513
chat thing?
I was interested, but autism tier /o/ 'inner circle' chats seem a bit off putting.
>>14921525
Someone started a little group chat so everyone can keep in touch, I'm not in it yet though.
Its a decent idea, its an /o/ meet so its going to be a circle jerk but it will be a fun one anyway. I just can't wait to see what kind of arguments people get into.
>my second gear is taller than yours
>half an hour of gear debating and car justifications insue
>>14921175
>yfw only 3 people turn up
>>14921525
It's not as autistic as you'd think. And something like this, which require a large time investment on the day, I think it's handy for everyone to communicate during the build up. Will (B L A C K W I L L) and Danny have already met for example.
>>14921570
>Will (B L A C K W I L L) and Danny have already met for example
we're all hoping they now fuck off and don't come to the main meet.
>>14921570
I've also "met" my stalker on here though I'm not sure what he drives or anything but I think he's attending the meet.
I think its going to be a great time to be fair.
>>14921586
I don't mind Will or Danny.
>>14921587
They met IRL and Will failed to park a real car as he is too used to his Micra
>>14921603
you fags are turning this into a right soap opera, i hope they don't come with their shit boxes to this meet i was going to attend as i thought this was a car meet but just turning more and more into a circle jerk. I can guarantee this will just end up being a couple of people namely these two benders and you. You can all admire eachothers beat up shitboxes.
>>14921603
Haha that's because the Micra parks itself, I just throw it in the direction of a space and no matter what angle you take it fits.
Its fun driving the Micra and coming from a bike, you can filter in it.
>>14921615
There's a decent variety of cars coming, not all shitboxes, there's only like five or so.
Calm down mate.
>>14921570
Mrcbt and I met as well in our top of the line sportcars
>>14921615
Any soap opera pretensions will be quickly dispersed by the fact we can't talk to each other while we're driving the Tick, unless you're one of the very sad people who bought a walkie talkie
>fags acting like meeting up at the pub is the event
Guys, take a look at some pictures of the Midlands Tick. You're welcome.
>tfw been learning every corner and bend to this road
so going to win this race lads
>going for a spirited drive on this midlands tick
>can't go above 60mph in case the shitboxes fall behind
>these two lovers keep walkie talking each other throughout the drive and holding everyone up
>trying to get X amount of cars to overtake a bus, all the sub 1.6's don't have enough power to overtake
This will be a stop every 2 miles event to let everyone catch up, which in turn will turn into a 30min circle jerk at the roadside.
I bet we'll only cover a quarter of the tick
>>14921711
>implying I am waiting for anyone
We'll agree a place to meet post-Tick for anyone that wants to soap it up. Might be tempted desu but I do want the day to be about driving and open roads
>>14921711
Everyone should just do what they want on the tick, no point waiting up for anyone especially me, I'll roll on the first turn.
>>14921711
We still need to agree to a meeting pub at the other end (one of the locals should advise) then everyone can go their own pace.
>>14921784
>then everyone can watch the gpx shoot off into the distance
>:)
Oh wait, shit, isn't an actually fast bike coming now?
>>14921794
My other mate intends to come on a VF500 too. I wish I had a full licence because I'd be going on an RGV.
>>14921615
>being this bitter
You must be scottish
There's no "inner circle" all we do is talk shit and organize two man mini meets and stuff
On a separate note what's the general consensus on non /o/ passengers. A friend of mine who uses 4chan just not /o/ wants to ride shotgun
>>14921513
You should join the slack channel mate plenty of banter
>>14921878
bitter isn't the word, i was looking forward to this meet as i thought it would be a decent event with some nice cars and a nice drive.
it's going to be a drama.
>>14922015
do what you want you black cunt it's your car
>>14921644

I'm definitely forgoing the walkie talkies; I can't drive and hold things at the same time. The road sort of vanishes if I'm not concentrating.

>>14921615
> Expecting other than old hatchbacks
It's like you don't even know what it's like owning a car in britain in 4chan's demographic.
I just get the feeling I'll be self-conscious about having the newest car and not having enough power in 5th to do anything below 60.
>>14922096
They don't have to be hatchbacks, there is no excuse. 190Es and E30s are still cheap, albeit rusty, and we have the best used car market that I know of in the UK bro. Get a landbarge with a huge engine that kids don't buy and smash up to beat the insurance game. Under 21s it's acceptable to drive a heap.
>>14922015
I might bring a pillion on the bike. Not a 4clammer but loves tiny old hatchbacks and nocar. Picked up car knowledge from listening to me and others talk over the years, was my team when I drag raced the GS430
>>14922273
Taxes and insurance go by engine capacity, if you don't know.
Either put up with cheap cars, or don't show up. Stop being an elitist prick.
>>14922352
I'm not the guy who's bagging on everyone for their cars, my first car was a '92 1.4 carburettor Ford Escort. But insurance doesn't go by engine capacity and, after a certain year, neither does tax. People do some incredible stuff in this country with small cars due to the limitations placed on them (pressure makes diamonds) but they're not me at all.
>>14922273
Not everyone wants a landbarge, by definition they aren't interesting to drive
>>14922352
They don't. A 2.0L mondeo and S2000 are vastly different in insurance but have the same engine size
>>14922015
Ye I will do when I get the app for the phone I suppose. What are the details on it all again?
>>14922417
Email [email protected] loads of abuse and cheese pizza and put 'slack channel' in the subject line
>>14922376
>>14922363
I don't think he worded it correctly, but technically he is right; insurance does go by engine size. It's just that it's one of the many criteria they take into condieration when deciding how much money they want to scam out of you.

I think 2 of those posts were me. I wasn't intending to shit on anyone's car (Your first car was not as bad as my first car, whatever it was), just battling the disinformation that all you can drive as a young guy in the UK is a small hatchback.

>>14922944
Ever been to a car meet? You have rows of idiots in brand new Fiesta STs beaming happily, but there are still good cars there, too. And the FiST guys enjoy it as much as the guys who bring the real cars.
>>14922967
A fiesta ST isn't a shitbox, im talking about 1.2 micras. even though ford is shit i have nothing against fiesta ST owners.
>>14922986
>he realises, slowly, that car taste is subjective, and is hoist by his own petard

How about we have two meets at opposite ends of the route?
One meet for normal cars
The other for shitboxes
We both do the same road starting at each end, then half way through (well as far as the shitboxes make it) the two groups can pass each other and wave.

>(Your first car was not as bad as my first car, whatever it was)
2nd gen 1.1 Fiesta, absolutely fucking coated inside and out with beeswax, inherited from my grandfather because he'd been hoarding money for my grandmother, who went out and bought a new car as soon as she discovered he'd done so.
It lasted about a month before I had to sell it. I couldn't afford to insure it, it turned out to be a cut and shut, and I'd bent my mother's newer Fiesta and had to pay the insurance excess.
Although my 'real' first car that I actually bought and insured and drove and fixed (and fixed and fixed and fixed) was a 1.6 '99 Astra SXi. I loved it, but it hurt to change gear and stop, and every bump had me listening for unusual noises.
I miss it. And the ridiculous acceleration for something so old, big, and heavy.
>>14923043
But he doesn't HAVE any friends!
>>14923184
So, one 'meet' with just you, and the rest of us at the real meet?
>>14923207
This. Prove it's your fucking car, photo with your dick on the bonnet. On the bread.
Is my 1.6 Focus counted as a shitbox? It's nice, but not very quick. I suppose it's only shitty if you want to be somewhere else RIGHT FUCKING NOW.
But it's comfy, handles well, nice stereo, and, most importantly, DOESN'T FUCKING BREAK SOMETHING EXPENSIVE EVERY COUPLE OF THOUSAND FUCKING MILES like my old Astra did.
>>14923292
So he's a "muh 4chan" neckbeard who takes shit here far too seriously and who gives a shit about the opinions of shitposting strangers.
Absolute fucking apex kek.
>>14923271
The Micras (assuming that they're at least 1.3s) should beat the Ka's in a drag race, based on 0-60 at least. Unless someone brings a SportKa or an engine swapped Ka, there's no chance for the Kamrades.
>>14923277
Do they not realise that shitbox pride is worldwide?

other than the boring m1 i dont think we can get away without driving through nottingham. so long as we stick together and regroup before we start the tick we should all get through alright.
>>14927828
Ok I'll do a full exportable route this evening that uses what google suggests for the first bit to the shell.
Shouldn't be too bad, it's only ~25 miles to the start.
>>14927836
So we can expect the Micras to take around an hour to reach the Tick? Assuming no traffic and full throttle
>>14927847
its through the middle of nottingham so its mostly a 30 zone to get to the tick. so its likely the micra's will be in their zone and we will all overheat before we get there.
>>14927854
Are we rev bombing pedestrians and shouting compliments at local women or is it not that kind of meet?

Modest mechanical upgrades and tinkering is fine. Upgrading functional components like the exhaust is ok I guess, but non-stock look will lose points. Loud chav braaaap will definitely not be tolerated.
Engine upgrades is mostly ok, but engine swap not so much. But I appreciate some people like mechanical tinkering and projects so I have no beef if it's functional stuff.
What I hate is someone taking an old 3 series, ripping out all the interior, replacing the engine, putting Recaro seats in, making it "looks sporty look I'mma racing driver cos I have a 5 point harness :DDD".
It's not a 3 series anymore. It's a shell with a new engine in and tacky chavvy wannabe F1 driver shite inside. No doubt there's also an amp in the boot

>>14928361
Only 'mods' on mine will be a super aftermarket oil filter and the array of dents from driving in Reading.
I may get some fixed before the meet. I'm at least going to fix the paint scratches, because I have contact details for one of the cunts that hit me.
Fucker's gonna regret giving me his phone number. And if it's wrong, well, I have his number plate. I can get the police on his ass for it.
>>14928840
There's literally no 1.2 Micra's coming, you've got the wrong generation.
And yeah, I will fill ultimate sometimes, it gives me a fair few more miles to the tank, just about breaks even to justify itself.
>>14928853
It's the only premium they do at Tesco, though. Which is important, because I work there. Also, pay at pump means no human interaction. Unless someone asks me for help trying to work their fuel cap.
>>14928864
>There's literally no 1.2 Micra's coming, you've got the wrong generation.
I meant it as a snub to the elitist prick whining about all the 1.2L shitboxes.
>>14928869
Oh sorry man, thought you were him!
>>14928874
Nah, just taking the piss out of him.
Although this HAS given me an idea. Maybe we SHOULD have a shitbox meet someday. Set an absurdly low budget to buy a used car, maybe £350 or so. Then do a bunch of Top Gear challenges, including how much you can get for it selling it after the meet.
>>14928867
wait wait tesco premium is BP?
>>14928882
That would be pretty damn fun if we could get a few people interested in it actually.
What about a shitbox banger race. Or maybe we can have some 24 hours of lemons thing going on, I really want that to become a thing in England so badly.

>>14929031
I'm up for this. We should do this as the Autumn meet.
>>14929185
No way will you get ten people off /o/ to do this desu, it's just a fantasy. If the prize money were bigger, say, £500 entry fee each and the cost limit the same, it'd be worth doing teams cause you'd win 5 grand for an outlay of 650 + fuel + insurance.
>>14928884
You didn't know that? It's literally written on the pumps and the signs.
>>14928889
Banger races are apparently fucking fun, but you need safety gear and technical knowledge and stuff like that.
>>14929031
What have I started?
£150 would be a bit low for me; Best I can find for around that price is 'AA man told me it had a water pump issue', a 1.0 Micra with almost 200k miles, and a 2003 Focus 1.6 that resembles the surface of a golf ball.
And a Renault Scenic that needs two new tires and a bunch of other crap.
£160 gets me a Peugeot 206 that's partway stanced due to fucked suspension, though.
>>14929265
>not cheating and buying a car with a fucked engine then swapping it for a good un
I'd buy a CVH Ford then swap in a built 1.6 and no one would be any the wiser
>>14929294
Car AND MODS.
Besides, it's not the engine that goes wrong around here. It's the suspension, because potholes and speed bumps.

Turn up the music to drown her out?
If this girl was coming to the meet what car would she drive?
>>14929400
She wouldn't drive, her nu male estrogen rich 'boy'friend would give her a lift to the meet in a 1.0l Micra upon which it would be expected that they be given a 20min headstart to account for the inherent inequality of society.
Even with the 20 min lead the z20 swap Corsa would still win the race due to Patriarchy Power [TM]
>>14929185
Next meet at Santa Pod pls. Only a faget wouldn't want to see MICRA DRAG RACES

I hope Brit/pol/ come in their Britain First Land Rover.
Fucking hell, I just checked the spreadhseet after a few days away from home, theres loads of people going now.
I hope you're all ready to have the Tick ruined by never being able to safely pass two clapped out Micras and some KAs.

I guess I'll find out when I'm the only guy at Potters Bar at 7:30.

I've never liked Eurobeat
Those of you whom are convoying, you should get a cheap CB radio off ebay
Do most of you fuckers know each other? Thinking of coming down from staffordshire.
>>14935560
>that moment when you realise that Soph allows the Eurobeat to live
>>14935763
I think couple man have met up already, but I don't know anyone. Staffordshire isn't too far.
>>14935800
Yeah the distance isn't too bad, never done the tick run before, if it's anything like the snake pass or cat and fiddle run it should be interesting.
>>14931938
>I hope you're all ready to have the Tick ruined by never being able to safely pass two clapped out Micras and some KAs.
> Implying I'll be able to get the power down to pass anyway
>>14931983
I'm still a maybe, but leaning towards a yes. All depends on how fucked I am from Download.
>>14935880
You're probably going to flake desu. Will be pleasantly surprised if you come. I'm personally expecting 20% of signups to show
>>14936322
Probably. It took me a week to get over the hangover after last year. And to get rid of the shits from unwisely trying potato wedges topped with chicken tikka in the middle of the night while drunk and unable to hear much.
>>14932012
No I got it all wrong, was way too tired after work last night. Basically, the M25 one!
>>14936322
Even if only like 5 people show it'll still be a laugh. I'm also going to drop a bike off up there so that'll be good.
>yfw I take the tick on in the Micra with a trailer attached
>>14936796
Potter's Bar, then?
>>14935690
What's wrong with a PMR 446 walkie talkie?
>>14936909
How about somewhere on the M1 so everyone coming from London/the South East can meet in one place?
Anyone from up north want to meet on the M1 southbound?
>>14937856
A meet up is good idea.
Us Welshys and Bristol and Devon dudes are meeting somewhere to convoy up
Are Pringles and Black Ice mandatory on this meetup?
Devondude is in France that weekend, if I recall right, so not going to be able to make it.
>>14938381
Pringles, yes. Black Ice, only if you can handle the immense freshness of a few shitboxes all honking of Poundland aftershave.
Greenpeace will be called and all the cars impounded, for being too Fresh.
Moar slags
>>14928230

there is only one riced micra can confirm. dont worry i know its an eyesore to some people but i like looking at it and dream that one day micra can into fast

>>14937856
Best place for Southeast/Londonfags not meeting at the M23/M25 services would be the M1 Travelodge just after Luton. Also if you can simultaneously open more than one channel with that walkie-talkie then sure, why not. Some cheap walkie-talkies are shit at anything other than 1-1.
>>14937909
You guys are taking the M5 up towards Birmingham then going across towards Notts, right? Us Southeast/Londonfags join the M1 very early into our journey.
>relying on others to get to the meet
>>14942874
Who are you quoting
>>14942911
Everyone arranging to meet up on the way to the meet up senpai
>>14942915
How in any way is that "reliance on others" you fucking spastic holy shit I am mad
>>14942915
I'm not relying on anyone else, it might just be fun to have a convoy that's all
>>14942915
>Arranging to meet up to have a convoy of shitboxes
>Reliant on others in order to get to the meet.
Pick one, and only one.
>>14937856
>How about somewhere on the M1
I'll be on it between Oxford and Birmingham, but don't recommend any services up there.
>>14942730
>Us Southeast/Londonfags join the M1 very early into our journey.
I don't. No point heading towards london and then back out. Not when I'm only 30 minutes from the M40.
Otherwise, I like to cruise at 75-80 for optimal MPG versus MPH.
What's our policy on stopping for overheating shitboxes?
>>14942949
Where do you live? Somewhere in Hampshire?
>>14942957
Near Reading. A404-M40, then cut past Kettering to the M1.
>>14942964
>M1
You mean the A1M? The M1 is before Kettering if you're going East from the M40, which you will be if you're coming from Reading and cutting across Kettering.
Your route is confsuing me. So you're going on the A404 to the M40 then you're cutting across to Kettering from where?
Seems like it would be faster to take the M4 to M25 then clockwise to M1.
>>14942991
No. There's shittons of roadworks on the M4, and the chance of me being hit by some shithead passing Slough would be immense. The M4-M25 junction is always crammed, and it'd take me past the M40-M25 junction, which causes jams.
Okay, looking at Google, it seems I'm confusing MYSELF here.
I have three potential routes.
> M40-M1 past Silverstone, and up past Loughborough.
ROADWORKS ALL THE WAY, 50MPH AVERAGE SPEED NAZIS
>M40-A46-M69-M1
Takes me past Coventry on the ring road there.
> M40-M42-A42-M1
Takes me on the Birmingham ring road. Speed camera capital of the UK! Random arbitrary changes of speed while keeping up the arse of the vehicle in front to stop people pushing in, and with someone rammed up your arse to prevent the same. And god forbid you're in the wrong lane.
I'm looking at option #2, because FUCK SPEED CAMERAS.
