Its Manchester Dan, the sun never shines :( :lol:

Chris, I have a few ideas for a rolling shoot for the magazine, one could be in the centre of town by Deansgate but it will be extremely busy and can easily break the convoy up into 2-3 bits. I will have a look for alternatives this week when I am in university, do they want it by a landmark or can it be anywhere in the Greater Manchester area???

Bump

What about around Salford Quays ? Nice and modern surroundings and maybe quieter ?

Jimbo
01-11-2006, 01:07 PM
Should be, know that area well..ish, dad lives round the corner. Good thinking Dave!!

Another one could be, dare I say it, Manchester Utd :?

how about going to the lowry for a photoshoot, the multistory there is pretty quiet and there are some good backwater places around the docks for rolling pics

You can do, not that i would advise it if you have lowered cars, but i dont accept any damage to lowered c2's going over mountain speed humps :lol:

Bump
01-11-2006, 01:16 PM
Its the sort of place thats used for mag shoots so I reckon they'd go for it :)

Jimbo
01-11-2006, 01:17 PM
I agree Dave, I think What Car mag did their Car of the Year 06 shoot up there this year.

Bump
01-11-2006, 01:19 PM
And it would be easier to get to from SQ+ too

Simon72
01-11-2006, 01:20 PM
I agree Dave, I think What Car mag did their Car of the Year 06 shoot up there this year.Could someone check with Phil at SQplus and see if he wants to take his car out for a run for the shot up there.

Jimbo
01-11-2006, 01:23 PM
Think that will be Chris' job, its only about 3 miles from Trafford Centre so I would say he would be up for it.

yes we will probably need at least 2 for people at front and back to make sure we dont lose anyone. and people with 1.6's will have to resist the temptation of putting there foot down as there is a few 1.1's and 1.4's and i know how hard it is to keep up in a 1.1 lol

Also the place has a huge either undercover or outside rooftop carpark, plenty of space for 20+ cars to group togeather and look impressive.

Food is excellent especially the italian restaurant on the second floor of the food hall, and if anyone gets really bored, go to the cinema inside. ;-)

Also the place has a huge either undercover or outside rooftop carpark, plenty of space for 20+ cars to group togeather and look impressive.

Food is excellent especially the italian restaurant on the second floor of the food hall, and if anyone gets really bored, go to the cinema inside. ;-)

Probably only get the cars in one shot at the other end of the trafford centre as its packed at the moment from 10am onwards, queues on the motorways and everything :? All the car parks are packed out.

3. 12.00pm till 2.30pm Members who wish to have a drive of the C2 Alien, will get a chance to drive around the estate/chosen location and have ears bleed from the ICE.

4. At approx 2.30pm we plan to drive in convoy with Alien C2 at the front down to a location at the Salford Quays about 4 miles away for a great backdrop for photoshoot.

5. At approx 4.30pm have some food at the Trafford Centre???

Simon, Trafford Centre shops open at 12pm on Sunday, the Disney store opens at 11am ;) so would say 11am the food court and other places will be open

Jimbo
09-11-2006, 01:26 PM

Alternative routes from the M1:

J24 A50/A500/M6: The A500 is now fully open (ra ra Highways Agency). Avoids most of M6.

J35a (I think) over Woodhead to meet up with the M57/A57 through Manchester.

The Baslow/Buxton road is horrible, esp on a Sunday it's full of old gits and suicidal bikers.

spooky_fish
09-11-2006, 03:43 PM
thanks for that but im really quite family with all the road thought derbyshire (i used to be a delivery driver round that area) i will prob be going via the tops in peak forst along some of them very long straight country roads!!

the only prob i find is as you hit stockport, its usually mental, esp in the middle of the day!!!!

some people are meeting family/gfs at the trafford centre so its probably easier to go there
