Hollow Tree Meet Sunday 21st October [Archive] - The 75 and ZT Owners Club Forums

16th September 2012, 16:43

This months Sunday meet is going to be at the Hollow Tree in Stretton on 21st October at 1pm.

The Hollow Tree is a great family pub with excellent food. On the Sunday there is a carvery, which is 2 courses for £15.49 and it is 2 for 1 so is a real bargain. Plus there is a kids play area for a small charge.

We are kindly given the use of the car park by the landlord to host our meets, which gives us great opportunity to tinker and play with our cars. It is an ideal opportunity for new members to get their latest purchase the once over by the experienced members. Also to meet and chat to others that have an interest in the marque.

I will be there obviously and all are welcome.

Please be aware that regional meets are not official 75 & ZT Owners Clubs meets and as such are not covered by the clubs public liability insurance.
Also the Owners Club take no responsibility for the meet in any way.

Hi it's just off junction 10 on the M56, head up the A49 for Whitchurch then first right.

NB: get into the outside lane as soon as you're off the roundabout as the right turn is only in a few 100 yards.

And while we are there, anyone with questions re diesels and noise, vibrations, whatever, etc are welcome to a drive in mine, M56 is only yards away innit.. :}

I might try to re route the cable on my ECU again, it keeps getting in the way of my spy hole mod. Moved it twice, but it keeps getting back in the blimmen way again.. . :o ..

Oh and anyone got some brighter bulbs for the overhead interior lights please, bit dark in the car when winter comes innit.. :o

APPY BIRFDAY RICH!! :D :D...

Thanks very much indeed :D

Here is a link (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/5-x-501-12V-5W-SIDE-LIGHT-NUMBER-PLATE-PUSH-IN-CAR-LIGHT-BULBS-/280878992383?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4165b14bff#ht_2066wt_1105) for 5x interior light bulbs, they are the 5 watt brighter ones.

I have some LED ones in mine, not keen on the colour, but they are even brighter again, here is a link (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CAR-SIDE-LIGHT-BULBS-XENON-HID-5-LEDS-T10-W5W-501-5-SMD-/120750407029?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c1d48fd75) to the ones I have.

As I rarely go to bed before 4 am, at 12 00 I am usually still fast asleep! :D. So it will be nearer 2 PM before I get there..

And before you ask.. If I got up at say 8am, (and I used too) I would have nothing to do? Telly's awfull, all my mates are at work, and it will be many hours before they want to come out to play. :o

So I stay up late usually watching late night movies, or chat to people online, (the USA comes alive at about midnight) and go to bed after 4 am.... Then when I do get up, half the day is gone, and by the time I have taken the dog to the park, had a walk, thrown a few bricks at the ducks (:D) had a coffee, got back home and had something to eat, all my friends are arriving home, brill innit.. :)

19th October 2012, 18:02

It will be great to welcome some new members, the more the merrier.

If you drive into the car park and cannot see us, there is another car park on the left as you drive down the main car park. We normally loiter in there.

I should be there for 12 as me and the family usually get some food first anyway.

I will have my tools with me as usual, just to give these newbies a good plenum cleaning :D

I have fitted a ppd bonnet release, but it sticks against the fins of the grille. I wanted to see the guide on the back of it to be honest, any chance of a picture before it is gone?

I was going to fabricate something to do it, but might just go the scrappy and find a ppd car and buy the grille.

Hi Guys, Sorry I missed finding you today, I got to the Hollowtree at 1310 hrs, parked up in the alloted area, ten cars. I Was looking for a notice on the door....
"Ask at the bar for the R 75 meet", perhaps I entered by the wrong door.:confused:
Being a newby, I would'nt regconize you guys and visa-versa. Took a slow walk-a-bout thru the place, asked a barmaid where the Rover Guys were she just :shrug:...and..said "Have you booked a table"? lol
Lots of folks busy eating, So me and the wife turned and left.
Perhaps better luck next time.

Kevin.

Sorry about this Kevin, I feel bad that you came all that way and couldn't find us.

You will have to come and meet the regulars on the evening of Wednesday 7th at 20:00 then you will recognise us and not miss out again.

We are pretty much at the bar or sat by the door on the evening meets, and not many other people are there.

I'm surprised you didn't see or recognise us Kevin, five of us were at the Atherton meet last month which you attended & we were eating in the pub at 13:10. It's a shame you travelled all the way there, saw the cars but not us. Hope to see you next time.

For newbies, when you enter the main car park look for an entry on your left into another car park, coz we hide in that one innit... :}

The car park we use is actually on the left of the pub not in front of it..

KLM, you may have left just as I was entering? I arrived about 13:10 in the end, I did pass a 75 going out but didn't wave as I didn't know anyone, so didn't want to wave to a stranger incase they wern't with the meet lol. My car has the distinctive premium (aka V8) grille on it.

Another enjoyable meet, must take my petrol next time to help even up the numbers. The weather was spectacular.

.......................Agreed, there does seem to be a concerted 'Tractor' following at the North West meets! Jim's intention to bring his lovely 1.8T next time should offer a greater balance.

We.'ve all got diesels 'cos we travel so far from Manchester (and it's satellite towns) to meets.:D

And as for balance - lets have more colour balance (and more Tourers), please. (Or "Shooting Brakes" as the Cheshire Set like to call them:D)

A really nice day out for my first meeting.
A stunning venue, great food, and lots of advice off the "old hands" about my car :bowdown:.....or should that be tractor:D
Don't forget guys when all the petrol is gone we'll be growing oil seed rape in our gardens to drive our tractors.
Thanks guys for a great day.

Sorry Chas, I had a little present for your Satnav but when I was talking to you I didn't realise it was you, if you know what I mean.

I was late again, and bearing in mind I set off last week that was quite an achievement innit.. lol :D

Glad you had a nice run home Ronnie, shame you wouldn't sell me the chrome grill though, seems bribery has its limits innit.. lol :}

I did keep a very close eye on a rather nice front grill on one of the cars, but sadly the owner kept a close eye on me! :o

Once again some great photographs from Jimbo. thank you Jim. :bowdown:

Lots of luverly diesels about, and even some huge ones harvesting in the field next door. Steve's lad also noticed three very large raptors circling above the fields close by, doubtless waiting for the small mammals to be driven from cover by the tractors innit... :o

Petrol cars seem to be declining in numbers, though that's no surprise to anyone innit.. lmho.. :p: :D:D

The weather was really nice, lil dog behaved himself, though being closely guarded by Jean he didn't have much choice. :D traffic was surprisingly heavy both ways though.. :shrug:

One more meet, rolling road on the 17th November and then it's hibernation time again.. :o Temperance fugit innit... :D

Hope to see you then.

Thanks Jim, fbh edutainment at it's best, and thanks for the sly shot of my dab radio playing a cd and of my ruined message centre. It is being replaced a week on Saturday by the way.

Another fantastic meet, it was good to see members from all over attending, it must be worth it :D

It was also good to see some new faces and hope to see them again at future meets, thanks guys.

Like the description of FBH "edutainment", sums it up all rather well :clap:

Thought you wouldn't mind a shot of the new headunit :o went very nicely with the one of the roof mounted antenna :cool:.

Yes, you'd mentioned that the the message centre was going to be sorted soon ;).

A set of good pictures , Sorry I had to miss the meet, it looks as though I would have increased the number of tourers considerably. Where were they all hiding ? :D

As said, nice pictures Jim.

David Williams (owner of "the Firefrost MG ZT-T that lives down the road") was interested in coming along, but he's a speedway fan and went to see the Aces instead.:( I've let him know the November dates and hope to drag him along. He's even less mechanically-minded than me, but I'm sure he's got some interesting tales. He's certainly got some interesting cars. He ordered the ZT-T as a Mk 1 but they introduced the Facelift after he'd placed the order, so it must be one of the first.
If we could have made it, that would have been 3 Tourers - all red:D
