The SQ C2 is an amazing machine. I went to loughbrough where it was at the opening of Luffield Citroen just to see it while mine was in the bodyshop.
Great Car, looks and sounds amazing.

Yes seen your car but then again you cant miss it with that cool paint job.
All are welcome to drive it as long as you have a driving licence.
It is a small road at the front of our units with good turning areas. Its just for a bit of fun and something different. Everyone seems to think its not a road going car and only for show. But they are wrong. Next is to get an MOT as it is 3 years old now and I think that is were the fun starts.

I'll be up for a quick spin in that BEAST of a car!
I'm fairly local and so this sounds like an opportunity not to be missed.
I'd definately like to attend. I'll keep an eye out for when it's planned. Should be good to take a look at the beast, and even better to have a drive.
I wonder if my bog standard 1.4 Furio with it's basic CD player and tiny standard speakers would give the ALIEN a run for it's money ? Maybe I'll challenge it to a showdown....I THINK NOT, it'll eat me and spit me out !!!! Who knows, it might even give me some inspiration to get some mods done to mine.

If so, I'll bring Mrs and Miss DG as far as Cheshire, and drop them off with her dad for the day, then pick them up on the way back.
He lives just off the M6 J18, and there's a nice turning circle outside his house, for a great foto opportunity if there's loads of us :lol:

The SQplus C2 is the Citroen C2 Alien as pictured here ( http://cache.jalopnik.com/cars/images/citroen_c2_alien.jpg ) Phil the owner of the car and company is a member of our site and has opened this invitation up to us all.
We are also meeting up with another Citroen C2 club at the same point www.c2sportsclub.co.uk so the attendance for the day will be approximately 15 to 20 C2's in one place with the stunning C2 Alien (or more as the time ticks away closer to the date) .

i dont even know where this place is Jon :lol:
is it near the Trafford Centre by any chance??
hughes741
31-10-2006, 10:01 AM
i aint got a clue lol im gonna try find some in that area through buisness directorys. also if you have any suggestions let me know it doesnt have to be very close as it would be good to have a convoy drive
i think theyre near the trafford so if they are then frankie and bennys ????
hughes741
31-10-2006, 10:01 AM

yes it is next to it
C2BABE1
31-10-2006, 10:05 AM
i think a walk around the Trafford Centre will do and then unless you want to book somewhere we can decide where to eat when we get there
Frankie and Benny's is a good choice but there are quite a lot of places to eat in there

C2BABE1
31-10-2006, 10:30 AM

how did i manage as a delivery person lol
C2BABE1
31-10-2006, 10:34 AM
you cant miss the Trafford Centre though
C2BABE1
31-10-2006, 10:39 AM
seriously?? :lol:
its huge, how can you miss it?!?!
i dont know lol i dont drive there anymore unless im with someone i couldnt even find it on tomtom lol
C2BABE1
31-10-2006, 10:41 AM

C2BABE1
31-10-2006, 10:46 AM
aww bless

And Jon if you miss the Trafford Centre you need glasses ! 8O

The hardest bit is to find the right car park if we're meeting up there, the last meet we had there we were circling for ages lol
C2BABE1
31-10-2006, 11:10 AM
well im sure we will be meeting at SQ first Dave so we will follow each other into the Trafford Centre car park
although even then you may get lost! :lol:
