v15ben Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Didn't really know where else to put this as it isn't a meet or an event or trackday so cannot go in that forum! Basically I have been on this good ol' forum for a long time yet have never been to any meets (except a quick chat with the TSN gang at Le Mans last summer and a flash of the lights from a certain Fabia VRS driver ) I would like to get to more meets rather than just sitting at a laptop to chat cars, I want to be out there meeting people and seeing all these great cars rather than sitting on my arse here in Nottingham!! The problem is of course that I have no car, OK confession out of the way there! I am not insured on the car I normally drive as it is sat in a garage in Leeds with me at a house in Nottingham so I have no way to get to any of the meets. I still want to get along to events so the only way I can think of doing this is to be passenger with someone else who is heading to the same event. The problem with this of course is that I sound like a scrounging student trying to get a free ride hence why I haven't posted up about attending any events before. I'd like to get along to some things this year so what would people think if I posted up on a meet thread saying basically what I have said here, "I would love to attend but don't have a car, can anyone give me a lift?" Would everyone think I was being a bit of a scrounger or would people be happy to meet another enthusiast and have ballast/someone to chat to when driving to a meet and back again? I am in Nottingham near the M1 so it's a fairly central location to get places. Thanks for reading and hopefully people can appreciate my problem and I get to meet some of you guys at meets sooner rather than later in 2006 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallachie Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I wouldn't mind giving a fellow TSN'er a lift if they were in my area and if I didn't have to go too far off route to collect them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 Well I would like to say that in the past other TSNers have been very good, one even giving me a lift from London to Milton Keynes And thats after I borrowed a phone and still havent given it back to him, so i'd be suprised if there wasnt someone who would help you out.

fjfr Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I voted for number two... Not the cash for petrol thingy, but the 'Who he is' one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sayerbloke Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 For the Poole meet last year, I said I'd give Beez a lift for the 300 odd mile journey to Bath from Norwich when it looked like he might have needed it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v15ben Posted February 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 On the scrounge of course hehe... typical student Seriously though, I guessed people would give positive responses. I just feel like a bit of a pikey asking people to give a lift to a total stranger but thanks for showing me the power of the TSN joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorburn Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I caught a lift with Ritey to the first pompy meet as didn't have my Fiesta in Portsmouth so if anyone wanted a lift and was reasonably en route I'd give em a lift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsparkesuk Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 I'd like to think that if someone was near me i'd be able to get a lift! I'm sure i may be able to one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnss8 Posted February 27, 2006 Report Share Posted February 27, 2006 If i'm going to a meet i usually go via junc 25 of the good old M1 and i'd be more than happy to give you a lift and before you have a heart attack there'd be no need for petrol money.
