Well Begbie suggested this in the spotting thread and there were a few agreements there, so who's up for a mini meet in the next few weeks? There seem to be quite a few of us in the local area but obviously anyone would be welcome

All are OK for me; anyone got any preferences from these, or any other dates?

Dunno really! Pub lunch sounds like a good idea, plus there must be some good driving routes for a blast before/after

What would people prefer??

Yes, been discussing this on Chat with DaveG. We will need a pub with a decent sized car part. Rose and Crown in Thorpe is good but not sure about the food.

How about taking a drive down the A3, get off at wisley and head through Ockham, have some food at the pub near the bell and covell (lotus and scooby garage) and go for a bit of a thrash along the dual carriageway nearby?

Begbie I like that idea. On the chatroom last night we discussed a Pub in the Thorpe area as it has a good Car Park Rose & Crown

However although there are some nice roads around that area they are not for fast driving in greasy winter conditions. A convoy down the A3 would look well impressive.

We could meet in the Brooklands area as some of the Business estates next to the Brooklands museum have huge open car parks and some interesting old Brooklands features for good group photo oportunities.

This sounds fun . I'm not working on the 28/29 Jan. I'm nights on the 4/5 but I think I’ll try and make it down if it looks like it's going to be a good turnout , I'll need to be off by 16:15 though .
It might be a good opportunity to have a go on the rolling road up there too. It's not far from were you're meeting is it?

A3 run sounds good to me too.

Surrey Rolling Road is indeed close by. There are people going to a RR day there this Saturday. Don't think we could really link it to a meet though as it would take up a lot of time and not everyone would want to go on the rollers

Well we could meet at Tesco's in Byfleet / Brooklands where i would ponce a lift with someone (900cc uno vs coupe's hmmm... yeah right!) and head up to the A3, short trip on there, then down some nice country lanes which takes up to a pub on the corner here Have a bit of food, drink, tyre kicking and a petrol station is opposite, then head right from there (thats left on the map) across the roundabout, i could stand at the side and film you lot hooning past on the DC thats there, turn round at the lights and repeat then turn round again and take another country lane down into Woking / A3

Well hopefully! I will be testing different versions of Gtec II at the RR on Saturday and hopefully one of these will provide safe fuelling. I'm still going for the Unichip as well, although I doubt this will be done by the 5th. As long as one of the Gtecs is OK I'll still be fine for some hooning around (I mean, responsible fast road driving) though

Nice ideas Beggers, looks like we have a plan forming

Cheers James, I can't do the R.R. meet this week as I'll still be in bed by the time it starts. BUT if this meet start at say 13:30 I might be able to jump on the R.R. before meeting up with you chaps .

Edit
I just invited my girlfriends dad along and he reminded me that it's my g/f birthday on the 5 Feb . Best not come as my excuse for not taking her shopping was that I’m on nights .

Right, drove this route last night, nice road, with one long speed bump just before entering east horsley and a short tunnel followed shortly after

The pub on the corner is the duke of wellington and looks like it will be able to house a few cars there too
