Hi folks,
As the weather is getting better and the evenings are lighter, I thought it would be good to meet up. There are plenty of us in the Tri County area.
I was think of a veune somewhere on the M3, M4 corridor between Basingstoke and Camberley(A30 I know) as it will provided easy routes for most people.
Should the date / time not work let me know and I'll adjust to get the maximum number of us there. :drinking:

I'm in South Hertfordshire and wouldnt mind getting to meet a few other owners and take a look at some other cars. Oh and show off mine too of course as it seems to have a very good spec, so this might be a possibility for me depending on the location chosen
-
Good plan, both places are very near me. I'll be there :happy2:
-
I have been to meets at the Jeckyll and Hyde on the A33 between Reading and Basingstoke before.
Always seemed quite good and easily accessed.

Hmm, I'd like to go to this too - Haven't seen most of you for what seems a while (except Hedge). I can't commit just yet though.

im a more than likely possible on this..

A 2hr drive each way for me but I could hook up with the saintly Steve en route. :drinking:

....Now you're beginning to worry me. I've suddenly remembered I'm doing something else on 12th May.
If 12 of us are turning up does someone need to book space? Table with knives and forks? :party:
-
I'll give them a call today, and book for 12. If anyone else fancies popping along, i'll amend as required. :happy2:
-
^^^^
It's fairly inevitable that there'll be one or two who can't/shan't/won't make it on the day.
Looks promising eitherway :drinking: :party:
-
Eeeehm I have an exam on the 14th (my last exam, actually).
So I probably shouldn't come.
...in any case, I usually finish work at 7, so even if I could come, I would be late.
...but I might just come anyway. Been awhile since I've seen some of you chaps.
(unless people are willing to move it along by one week...? that would be considerably better for my conscience and probably my exam)
-
I won't be there until 8:30 earliest :star:
-
See you there guys :party: knives and forks at the ready :happy2:
-
...in any case, I usually finish work at 7, so even if I could come, I would be late.

Cool, that means you should pass J4A by about 2015... so I will leave work around 8:10ish then and figure 5-10 minutes to head to the M3 and we can probably rendezvous on there to convoy down.
-
Pencil me in. Cant commit 100% just yet. :happy2:

Steve, when have I ever misled anyone :innocent:

@ Saintly Steve:
I've possibly gotta be in Salisbury late afternoon so might not convoy there with you, as my route would be A354 (great road) > A303 > M3. Could be coming back via Southampton though.
-

Not forgetting Steve, that applying RR's logic means that we'll have narrow angle V12 or a W12 depending on how you want to 'add' them together! And the ability to put it all down... In the wet. :jumpmove:

Good meet guys, was good to put some faces to the names.
Special thanks to Hedge for VCDS'ing my car (finding no fault codes at all!) and enabling the alarm beep. Hopefully we can get to the bottom of what is going on with the auto-closing windows.
Thanks to Thor for booking a great pub too.

BIG Thanks to BIG guy Thor for organising. :drinking:
Because of the great company and banter I'm always happy to drive a reasonable distance to a meet - 240 miles round trip for me - But good food makes an important difference and I enjoyed the food at the Jekyll & Hyde.
-
Hearing Neo's APR exhaust in the dark last night was rather nice.
Chris (WhiteGti) (previous owner of said exhaust) went out in a trip in Neo's car to hear the Burp it now makes.After hearing this system, would make me think twice and spend the extra in a future venture. Or perhaps would give my new Fiat Panda some Balls :laugh:
Under hard throttle, you could hear the car from nearly a mile away :notworthy:
Awesome :happy2:

Been through the vids, got a few decent ones, including of the various departures! Need to use my tripod more though :rolleye:
I will make a short vid and stick it up on vimeo on monday after my exam!
Also, I was most amused at how loud my exhaust seems to be on WOT :laugh: Must be more careful with it!

Are we going to do a June meet or not? :party:
