Anyone up for a proper south of england meet, say in the south of england, around bournemouth. not these people that think they live in the south and actually live in london?

Yes I would be up for this. Depending on timings, dates etc

Always up for a south coast meet.

there planning for one in late January and in (or around) Bournemouth too. Apparently its my job to seek out a country pub with a big carpark.

Have you not sorted this yet Truffle.

I'd be interested in a South Coast meeting too, I'll watch out for locations and times.

@Truffle, where have you thought of for a country pub? I might have a few suggestions if you want them?

I could be interested in this too... I'm a Southener up North in Bristol

lol think they gotta have good food, huuge car park and some nice roads if you can find places like that that'll be sweet

Oh, go on then, I guess I could venture down to sunny Dorset . It will make a change to come down to visit you guys !

Phil

I'd be up for it too.

i know where going a bit away from the bournemouth area but a nice drive to this pub, which has a massive car park in front of it.

Good choice, great food.

There's also the:
The Angel Inn, Longham, BH15 1NF
The Old Thatch, Stapehill, BH217NW
The Alice Lisle, Rockwood, nr Ringwood, New Forest, BH24 3NA

All have big car parks and food and are family friendly (good for keeping the other half and kids happy)

i'll defo be up for this in chippenham so not far

i'll be happy if it's after the 22nd of Jan. I was forced to reschedule a new exhuast untill then due to (what turned out to be) a small coupe problem.

The beginning of feb would probably be ideal really cause then i would have had a chance to make sure the fueling is ok and not blow the car up as we cruise around.

ok end of jan early feb then?!

I am happy with that. Should be good

Happy with that too

Sounds good to moi!

I'm off on 3/4 Feb.

Bump

Any idea of the date people??

yeah soirry about this, i've taken my mind off it swwing as my rear windscreen is non existant at the moment. I dont want to got a meet and have to sit at the back at 50mph

Truffle, I hope you get your windscreen sorted soon, and I'm sure everybody doesn't mind waiting until your car is fixed

i do lol

Bah! u just dont want me powering past your sick motor.

any date set yet?

getting this windscreen out of their insurance company is like asking a bumbch of monkeys to source and arrange fitting of a piece of glass.

Someone sort out a date.....(dependant on Windscreen)

I'd be totally up for a trip down the A34/M3/M27 with my current Bella Rosso 147GTA.....

I can then see what I'm getting myself into "Coupe-wise" PROPER!!!

whats everyone upto this weekend?

going home to see the rents.

Just to say im up for a meet. Is it likely to be a saturday or sunday? Oh and Flea, if your coming south from bristol then i'll tag along cos im in wells (im sure you know where that is city boy... ;)) Lets set a date!!

Here.....

Sunday Feb. 18th

Anyone ?

Ooh. I'll keep an eye on this, as it may be likely that I'll be back in the UK for a short while in late Feb/March and staying at my parents, only about 5 miles from the Horton Inn. Indeed it was a stop on a Coupe meet a few years back, there is a video floating around on here somewhere. Nice roads around there too

That weekend (17-18) is no good for me . I'm up for the following weekend (24-25) . Might be a good idea to start a new post for this meet now as this TALK about a meet has gone on a bit.

That's probably a very good idea.

Suggest we set a date as soon as possible that's convenient to most of us, after all, they'll never be a date that suits us all.
Perhaps 2 dates & we can have a quick vote on which is best.

Besides, it's not as if it's a one off event, hopefully they'll be plenty of opportunities for us all to meet up over the coming year.

True, im free most weekends that im not away with work and as long as its nowhere massivley far away ill always be up for a meet
Lets do it!
