Welcome! I live in Westhoughton so not a million miles from chorley! Also up and down the m61 for work
EDIT: Saw you today actually! About 16.00ish on the m61 going towards manchester passing reebok / westhoughton junction, outside lane being followed by a corsa van!
Yeah, I think I caught a glimpse of a Silver Gti (3 door with a funky petrol flap???) coming off at junction 5? I was heading back to the beautiful pastures of Little Hulton.....! I used to live in Atherton previously before moving up here.
Just on the topic of a meet, I don't know if you guys are aware but there is a Veedub club called Unphased (I think), they meet at the Boatyard pub on the outskirts of Blackburn just off M65 towards Houghton Tower. A few of my mates are well into there dubs, R32's, air cooled beetle, old camper, crazy mk4 with BMW x5 wheels etc.
It's on this Thursday and every month I think, my details are a bit sketchy as I'm waiting for my mate to tell me the times but I promised him i'd go up for a beer/tyre kick. I had a ride up on my push bike in summer and it looked like a decent crowd/turnout
