Are there any regular Surrey meets?

I can't believe I've had my Coupe 6 months and not been to one meet.

Well, there was the Bluewater Christmas shopping meet where I was the only one that turned up...

Have you looked at the south east meet, still in the process of being arranged.

I want to try and get to a few meets.

Cheers bud. I'm dying to go to a meet and see some other coupes.

I arranged to interview someone for a new role at my work yesterday, even thought we are closed on Saturdays, just so I could drive the coupe to work! laugh

Oi! *I* have the slowest coupe of us all, as amply proved by the number of times people drive into the back of it.

Well having been driven into the back of *twice* I know it's not because of being slow, but having much better than average brakes (and the guy behind driving beyond his capability to stop in time even though I was hardly doing emergenecy stops)

Mitcham and Streatham are close to me in West Norwood. Lived here 7 years and only seen 2 coupes. Don't get out much!

Barnacle, are you coming along, since you are only on the other side of the M25?

Depends when and where, and whether it's fit for flying... Grasshopper Inn http://www.grasshopperinn.co.uk/ has been a successful meeting place in the past, and the carvery isn't too bad.

But I have a lot of 'fly to Berlin and cuddle baby granddaughter' commitments.

I must admit, since I've not been on any meets, I'd probably not be the best person to suggest a route, although there is a great pub in Kingswood. Bit posh and expensive, but worth a try imo.

Might be interested, depends when and where.

Could this thread not be linked up with the south east meet?
Make a big one?

Cool, so even though we don't have a date or route yet, it seems quite a few people are up for it.

Anyone want to jump in with a date/route?

Grasshoppers only 15mins from me (Orpington) so I'd be up for it.

Worthing but previous Forest Hill boy here! I know the Grasshopper well and it's a great blast up to Westerham from the coast. I am up for it dependant on date. The 'old girl' needs an airing now she's been fixed and fettled!!
Also happy if it were somewhere else; it would just be nice to get out of the house- typical Worthing resident remark!!

Possibly some other South coast 'sleepers' out there up for it? I remember the Sussex Pad meet a few years ago was a great success even if the landlord didn't appreciate his car park full of coupes!
