Anyone who is interested in meeting up on a Sunday morning/afternoon soon, 1st of October is actually looking pretty good (Provisionally - yet to confirm - is this date ok for everyone?) please feel welcome to do so. I think an excellent place to meet would be Box Hill car park as it is huge and has some nice long roads nearby which should be suitable for showing off, not to mention a huge pub down the road with reasonable priced beer and food (Drink driving not encouraged obviously). If somewhere a bit more open is desired then there's the Arkle Manor which is further towards Dorking which also has a huge car park and a mile and a half long road with no cameras. Or there's The Wheatsheaf on the A217 next to 'Romans' the car garage with Bugatti Veyrons and Ferrari Enzos. This is a 2 minute drive from the infamous Mad Mile (Local racing spot with no cameras). Anyway I'll wait to see what the response is before making any further arrangements. Who knows, we could even go from one to the other. To give you a rough idea, Box Hill is 5 minutes from Dorking and 10 minutes from the A217 (Sutton/Banstead). If you'd like to meet somewhere a bit more neutral (further out) then just say so. There's a place in Woking which has a Rolling Road which may interest some of you however a simple meet would be nice seeing as I haven't met any of you nor been in a 20vt yet - lol. Anyways what you think?
Any PM's welcome
Lloyd

Oh and there's also a lorry park in Woking which is situated on an old abandoned aeroplane runway. My girlfriends uncle is good friends with the owner so this may be an option too. Cheers Lloyd

I'd be interested... Not in racing along the mad mile however as it's a) I drive along it every day :boring: b) racing along there is for boy racers in their chavved up Novas not for classy coupes c) it's a 60 limit d) it's actually illegal to race The Wheatsheaf has a pretty small car park and is a particularly unglamourous looking pub... The Dorking one sounds nice...or we could just hit the Flight Tavern again near Gatwick

Lloyd, if you want to organise a meet, you are going about it the wrong way, the coop owners on here could not make their mind up if they were asked if they want to sleep with Bella Emberg or Kylie Minogue or George Clooney or Benny Hill (thats just for you Vics) If you want a meet, you just come out and say right theres a meet at such and such pub on such and such date, who's going? Otherwise you'll get Kevin saying hes playing football and can't turn up till after 2pm, Vics will be travelling somewhere, Begbie will be going out the night before, i'll say yes but then cancel closer to the time, Bockers will have some family commitments and each and everyone one of us will ask you to change the time and date and location, you'll eventually go mad with us, never buy a coop or even see one and thats the end. So if I were you i'd start the post with meet 1st of October at Tattenham Corner Pub on Epsoms downs from middayPS. we have had meets in this pub before, it has a huge car park, does food and is alright if you don't mind some of the rough faces in there

Well as it's just down the road it'd be rude not to attend (after Church, though - got to get my priorities right). I look forward to reading the final details, and probably being unable to attend through something turning up at the last minute No speeding/racing on any residential areas on my patch though

The pub is right by the race-course.
When you get to the main stadium (where they have the concerts etc) take the Downs Road exit at the roundabout (keeping the race-course on your left (you will see the Derby Arms pub on your right)). Filter left at the lights (100 yds). Go under the (brief) tunnel and the pub is on your left (200 yds).
A word of warning for those coming up via the Langley Vale/Ashtead way, they have just installed a series of nasty speed bumps a mile or so before the pub.

I struggle to imagine you being shy Kirsty. Always seem very direct and confident to me.
