Our Area has a large number of like-minded folks who enjoy their MX-5s - So large that we now have FOUR convoys to our monthly meets.

The Convoy Details
O> Leamington Convoy - Meets at "The Moorings" in Leamington spa. Leaves @ 7.10pm.

O> Redditch Convoy - Meets at the new McDonalds on the Coventry Highway. Leaves @ 7.15pm

O> Coventry Convoy - Meets at McDonalds car park on Hollyhead road. Leaves @ 7.15pm

O> Stourbridge Convoy - Meets at The Crabmill (Bottom Car Park). Leaves @ 7:00pm. Makes stops at Littleton Arms @ 7:05pm, and Paul Matty Sports Cars (Jc 2 M42) @ 7:20pm.


Our meets attract more and more folks each time. So much so we have our meets at a pub with a large car park. We have a lovely overflow car park to attempt to fill.

Anybody and everybody is welcome, even if you don't have a five. There are plenty of cars to lift the bonnets on and plenty of owners only too keen to show you their pride and joy.

If you are new to the meets then please search out Ken. If you can't find me, head for the flag.

Which will be placed on a table indoors during the winter months. So that you know it's us and not a meeting of the local knitting circle :wink:

If the weather is nice then we will likely all be out in the car park. In which case, head for the big flag.

Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall.
Torque is how far you send the wall across the field once you've hit it.

Bit of an observation from the meet. It was a good meet, lots of cars and people and I chatted to lots of new people as well as regulars.
However ...

I noticed a few people leaving drinks glasses by the side of cars when they'd finished with them. They put them carefully by the side of a car, possibly their own car but in some cases not, as there were 2 glasses by mine. I also saw a youngish lad throw a can into the back of the field. I'm not sure why anyone thinks that's acceptable, but it's not. The glasses can start fires and can cause punctures if they are run over. Children play in the field, dogs are walked / run in the field as well. The can can trap and kill small animals as they get their head stuck trying to see what's inside, and then starve to death.
I tidied up 9 glasses from the field before I left, it was getting dark and I wouldn't have seen them. One was broken, so it may have been dropped or it may have been run over by someone leaving

So if you think that sort of behaviour is acceptable, it's not. Either don't do it again, or just don't come back.

This really is not acceptable, last month I also took two glasses back that had been left behind. The previous month some one decided that they would leave there glass on the back of my car, very thoughtful of you. Can you also all arrive and drive away from the pub quietly. The last thing we need is the owners of the venue complaining of inconsiderate Phoenix Five members and then having to find another venue.
