BIG STU Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Hi eveyone. I was just wondering if anyone out there was planning on attending any of the following car shows this summer. These are all in the North west. 1 . Mawdesley car show. End of may. 2 . Southport classic car show 3 . Ormskirk classic car show. Aug bank holiday weekend. Me and my lad jack are going to be at these and we were wondering if any other manta owners would be attending with their cars. If anyone is planning on going to any of these shows and would like to meet up then give me a shout. As it would be really good to meet you and your cars. If there's any other good classic car shows in the north west area that you think would be a good day out for me and my lad, please can you let me know when and where they are. Cheers stuart and jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Abbott Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Hi Stu. The OMOC will be attending some shows in the summer but because of insurance you can not put a car on a club stand unless you are a fully paid member of the OMOC. This was an issue discussed at the AGM. Regards. Kev. Edit, there is nothing stopping you going as an individual of course Edited April 20, 2017 by Kevin Abbott Edit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Hi kev. I hope that you are ok. Please can you let me know what shows manta members will possibly attending in the north west. Then I will apply as a non member and go as an individual. TTake care and hopefully see you soon. Cheers stuart and jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Can I ask just out of friendly interest why you don't want to pay for membership? As it maybe a reason why others don't want to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hi ya Danny. I hope that you are keeping well. I will join the club one day. I only haven't joined before as I am lazy. Plus I seem to get any what I need from the forum is ok now. That ranges from me asking for any parts and advice ,through to me helping other members with help and advice. As well as helping other members with parts that I have available. The only downside is when members advertise items and block people like me from viewing them. BIT CHILDISH REALLY. AS ITS DIFFERENT IF I AM HELPIING THEM OUT. But heh ho. Rules are rules. I hope that front wing was ok for you. Take care and good to hear from you. Cheers stuart and jack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny D114BCW Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 The wing was great thank you and cheers for the reply. My only point is that if we all didn't pay we wouldn't have a club which is the only reason I pay to be honest. Hope to catch you soon and hope the manta is okay 👍🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted April 24, 2017 Author Share Posted April 24, 2017 I appreciate where your coming from And agree with your point of view. When I get a few things sorted out I will join the club. take care. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG STU Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) A great weekend was missed by all at Southport. The weather was great and there were 100's of cars there What made it even better was the fact that mine and my lads manta won best in class. So we ended up splattered all over the local paper with our massive trophy. Ormskirk Motorfest next on August bank holiday Sunday. If it's anything like last year's event it should be a cracking day out. WEATHER PERMITTING. .... IF ANYONE OUT THERE IS PLANNING ON ATTENDING THEN PLEASE GIVE ME A SHOUT. THEN WE CAN MEET UP FOR A CHEEKY BEER AND A PORK PIE.. Edited August 1, 2017 by BIG STU Spelling mistake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 No car to bring as yet but might still bring the lad over, see the cars and then on to Formby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG STU Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 What a brilliant car show at Ormskirk yesterday Lots of top cars from all different decades plus lots of people to enjoy them. My manta was subject to a lot of interest from the members of the public, the judges and the local mayor. What was the icing on the cake was me and my son winning 2 trophies for our manta.😆 1.was the mayors choice. 2.judges voted best sports car. Days like this make all the hard sweat and tears worth while. Plus it was really nice to me a lovely guy off the forum who is about to start refurbing a manta A very soon. He also enjoyed seeing our car and gave some kind complimentary comments. 😃 May be next year some of you guys might attend. WELL WORTH IT.👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Sorry fella the 8 year old was in and out of bed all night, was 3 pm before we got out of the house and I was outvoted so it was straight to Formby to get the last of the Sun. Glad you bagged some trophies and gutted I didn't get to meet you and see your Manta in the flesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealExile Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Near Mottram, foot of the Woodhead pass. For his latest trick he's just had a bout of PlayStation rage and chucked the controller at his telly, ruined Doctors made us wait near 3 years to tell us he's not Autistic, we now await the next round of tests for ADHD or ODD. Sorry not Manta related just needed to vent, I have to put it down to him being poorly rather than a naughty/spoilt kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRealExile Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I thought they had to be yellow these days but they seem to be green and the odd blue one round here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
