Surrey Meets

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.

Oh yeah and AutoItalia in April. Thats a big one.

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!

Ha ha, fair play.
Where in surrey are you?

Sutton mate.

I'm on the surrey borders in streatham A few miles from Croydon

Seems there at least 3 of us .. That's nearly a meet !!

Im up Bracknell way every few months and dont mind traveling to Surrey to meet up

Mitcham here, definitely a nice sw london contingency

Why don't we have a mini meet soon? Just an excuse to go out for a drive on a weekend.

Mini meet sounds a good idea..

im in, pick a nice route with a pub to stop at for a chat and some grub.

im assuming that people will be responsible and not take this as a street race opportunity
<grump mode off>

Do you by any chance have the slowest coupe of us all??

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

Fairmile arms?

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!

You and me both, Dave. I was stationary in both cases.

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.

I'm from south coast and would be up for traveling to Surrey for a mini meet. Dependent of when it was?

Might be interested, depends when and where.

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

Going to let a Sussex boy along (well, old git actually)..

I'd second the grasshopper as well.

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?

Grasshopper inn looks good. Not been there before and seems conveniently located for london South, surrey and Sussex

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

Brighton boy here these days So yes, anything around here would be grand.

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!

Thunderbox
Honouray london member then !!

Sussex pad. Haven't been there for many years..
Is that the one overlooking shoreham airport

Bet landlord appreciated the income though..!

Sorry went off topic there and forget the forum title is SURREY meets.

So seems the grasshopper generally gets the thumbs up ?

In which case , That's the where sorted..

Only leaves the when ...........

In the interests of moving this on can I suggest a few dates which can then be shot down in flames , debated, changed or agreed?

I suppose a Sunday is best (although Mr. & Mrs. Mondeo Man (and family) will be packing out the Grasshopper- if I remember correctly! But they do serve and stay open all day so later is probably better(?.

How about:
27th. February, 6th. March or 13th. March?

What about linking this up with the south east meet on the sunday the 20th march?

We can double the attendance then, have a big meet?

Great idea, if everyone from the south east meet is willing to move venue or vice versa. Or somewhere in between, maybe Windsor area?

Windsor sounds a good venue, there must be loads of suitable pubs although I don't know the area well enough. It appears the SE Meet was proposing a venue in Maidenhead, which also nice. Did they have a date in mind- I can't remember?

We were looking at the 20th for the south east. Not set in stone though, would be great to get a big group together.

No date will suit everybody.

The best thing to do is just set a date and and venue then see who turns up.

Then you can tell all the rest what they missed.

Sunday 20th March 2011

The grasshopper or Shire Horse Pub.

Ive blended this and the South East meet together to try and get numbers up, and obviously updated this thread to get the ball moving, hope everyone is o.k with this, otherwise no problem.

Locked as it has been brought into the South East Meet thread.
