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

Might as well suggest some possible dates:

Saturday 28 Jan
Sunday 29 Jan
Saturday 04 Feb
Sunday 05 Feb

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

OK steady on, early days yet

How about, meet at 11am at Brooklands for some tyre kicking and photography. Then on to the pub for 12.30 or 1.00 -ish? Not sure how long the drive will be (Begbie?). Then a bit of a drive after lunch as well?

I could be up for this, but depends upon the date that is decided. I'm not available on 28/29th, but could probably make either the 4/5th. Depending on which day it is, I may have to come in track day trim, as I am at Silverstone on the 10th, and need to get my car prepared over this weekend .

If your thinking of parking in Tesco's on a saturday or sunday you havent got a hope in hell of getting a load of parking spaces together, obviously people haven't got better things to do on a weekend

As for the drive, reckon it would only be about 15 - 20 mins to the pub, although we could change it slightly to make it about half an hour or so

For parking I was thinking more of the business estate (Wellington Way) This backs onto the Brooklands Museum and you can get some good shots with the Brooklands Hill climb in the background. Ultra quiet on sunday too.

Are you thinking down by the new industrial next to Sony? If so you wont get long to park there before security will come down and kick you off the private land. Can give it a go though

Cheers James. Put me down as a 'maybe', as I might need that day to finish off the jobs that I need to do on the Coupe before my track day. Hopefully the weather will be such that I can get them done next weekend, but we are in the middle of winter !

Cheers for the heads up about this JimO.

I can't make the weekends of the 5th or the 12th, but should otherwise be able to make it.

Blimey this will be a Summer meet soon

How about Sunday 20th Feb. This gives everyone enough notice to sort their calandar. I suggest we put a definate date in the diary or it will continue to drift.

I may be able to make this now - depends on how the work on the car goes + running it in + mapping. If the car's not ready I might come along anyway if anyone fancies giving me a lift for the drive.....

Gonna see about Brooklands tomorrow. What time suits everyone to get there on the 19th?

We mentioned lunch, so might I suggest we meet at 12 - leaves time for photo's, tyre kicking and a cruise to the establishment of choice.

I will try and arrange tomorrow then once I know the general concensus.

OK, the list so far:

James_H
Begbie
JimO
Bockers
Rmcfarlane
Petep
Vickster
DaveG
Crazycoop
Gumball3000
Emjay
Civic_Legend (?)
Hamster (??)
Suba (?)

Sorry if I missed anyone - let me know.

Meeting somewhere near Brooklands (possibly near Sony just round the corner?) at 12 noon and maybe try and get a few photos. Then a convoy down to the pub at East Horsley (link to map in Begbie's post further up the thread) for some lunch, a natter, and possibly some filming

Then maybe a bit more driving if people are up for it.

So, we just need to finalise the meeting point at/near Brooklands. Needs to have plenty of room and preferably good background for some group photos. I'll go and have a look round tomorrow and see where might be good. If anyone else has any suggestions in the meantime, let's hear them

Jim - thanks for the offer of a lift mate. I've got the settings I used on different boost profiles for the greddy written down in my glove box (and car is with barbz) I should have it back by then though, and I'm sure I'll be popping down there before the 19th anyway....

happy to help you get the little blighter set up mate - would not take too long to do from scratch.

when you install it remember to remove the bung on the third port of the solenoid (the one that has no hoses attached to it)... it's not very clear you have to do so from the instructions!!!!

Spoke to my friend at Brooklands Museum, they are not hosting anything on the 19th and don’t think it will be a problem to let us come in and use the paddock and a section of the banking. - would make for awesome pics, especially if we get a good turnout.

I need to finalise this next week with them, being a museum they may want a small contribution for use of their facilities. Would people be willing to donate a few quid per car for this pretty good opportunity?? (its for a good cause!)

I am probably not going to make this now due to work commitments. If this changes, then I'll be there, but its doubtful

@ Suba, sorry mate, no lift, but it sounds as if you'll have your car back by then anyway. I may be in contact after though for some help with my settings if you're up for a drive one evening

no probs mate - I may have the car back - but wont have run in the engine or had it mapped I might pop along in the MK2 Golf TDI.....the clouds of smoke out the back if I floor it are quite amusing.

Did you get the install on you greddy sorted? Happy to help you setting it up whenever. I'm not far from the M3 so nice and easy for those 4th gear runs.

Hey up, this sounds like fun. I always thought Brooklands Museum was further a field.

I`d pay a small donation

All, just in case I can get away from work earlier on Sunday, what are the plans for this?

Metting where and what time?

Then going to what pub when?

I might skip the first meet and drive and just venture to the pub, just like any Sunday really

Well from the power of deduction and whats been said in the thread, we are meeting at brooklands museum in the morning some time, were then going to a pub (indicated on the map) for a bit of lunch, so lunch time

I dont know on times, but reckon the pub would be 1pm-ish?

Well i still am a little confused on meet times/places.

Can anyone make 1 simple post stating times and places along with any appropriate links/post codes etc.

It would make it easier for everyone and hopefully maximise the number of people attending.

Afternoon peeps! Apologies for being quiet the last few days, however I have just been to meet my friend at Brooklands.

They have no issues with us using the Museum, parking up in the Paddock (sectioned off area at the front) and using the banking and other back drops for photo's.

They have been a little less forthcoming with the discounts though - they are pushing the regular entrance fee with £1 off per person if we top 15 peeps... not amazing to be honest considering we only want to be there for about an hour. Would be £7 per person, £6 if your a student or have your bus pass so I will leave it up to you guys to make the call.

We can use the museum if we fancy it, if not still meet local and invest our saved cash in some extra pub munch

Me again, some peeps asked for maps and stuff. Its not far from the M25/A3 junction (J10) so I have based the following maps around that;

If we meet at brooklands: brooklands

If we meet just outside brooklands there is a pretty quiet road where could mince about till we all get there; wellington way: Wellington Way

a close up of the two roads, they really are right beside each other: Both!

Other than those starting points, I am open to anything.

Begbie, you gonna give the Uno an airing or you want me to pick you up first?

All

Given the cost of going into Brooklands and the risk of getting kicked out of Wellington way (over zeleous security ) and the fact that Tescos will be packed.

Can I suggest we all meet at Weybridge Station car park. this is free and empty on a Sunday. If so i will post maps etc.

Meet tim 11am till 12:30

12:30 convoy to Begbies pub suggestion.

Objections?

John

Erm I thought this meet is on Sunday ?????

Bockers has confirmed it's on Sunday, phew

This is good for me - with directions of course - only ever been on the train and fear that using the coop on the rails may not work too well

Begbie, consider it done.

Station carpark sounds good for me too! See you boys n girls at 11....ish

I presume we are still talking about the over-flow carkpark on the Brooklands side of the train line?

Yep sounds good was going to suggest the shell petrol garage but the station car park is a better idea me thinks.

She you all there, i do agree that the cost to get into brroklands is a tad steep just for some pictures we could go for a drive after lunch maybe to egham way or virginia water find a nice quiet carpark and get some FREE pictures :-D

I personally think that sounds like a better idea and that way i get to drive Angelica for that bit longer ;-)

Indeed - apologies the cost of Brooklands was not more managable, it would have made for some superb shots especially with the recently opened concorde and the race track.

I will try and scope out some other parts of the banking and see if we can get on anywhere else.

Location Of Wybridge station:- Google Map

The meet point is in the car park on the Southern side of the Station NOT the ticket office side.

Meet from 11am and kick tyres till 12:30
12:30 depart for Pub with lunch around 1ish

Scenic drive to Pub Lunch at the Duke of Wellington Nr East Horsley
Duke Of Wellington Location

Depart from there once fed and watered.

Looks like a plan to me

John

Hello everyone and sorry I haven't been around to provide some answers and some semblance of a plan Basically work has been hectic for two weeks and I've had loads of crap to sort out; I've barely had time to even login to the forum til now

Anyway well done for sorting it out, sounds like a top plan and I will be there <crosses fingers for dry weather>

It's going to be a push for me to make it for 12.30 (although I'll give it a go). But would like to make as much of the drive as I can.

Can whoever has devised the route PM it to me (or some points along the way) so I go there if necessary and wait for the convoy to go past.

No idea on the pub Jim, but you still have time to clean the car before lunch (although I'm confused about the time as your post is timed at 11.35am on the 19th yet it is only 9.20ish ).

We'll let you join in even if you don't clean it - mine will be filthy again anyway as it's rained since it was cleaned and polished yesterday

Good meet - some old faces and some new

My photos are rubbish compared to bockers so have deleted them

Hopefully the next meet will be warmer - maybe I'll try to organise one for the Flight Tavern in late May?

At least it didn't p1ss down until after we were inside. Bloody cold though.
Good to meet and put faces to names.

Yes, nice to meet everyone, although I must have missed Seb Coe in the pub Especially enjoyed the convoy, and watching from the back as all the others on the A3 pointed at this line of 7 coops

Sorry I had to leave a bit early but my footie team was playing (we won 5-0 and so are league champions )

Look forward to the next meet (preferably in summer so we don't freeze our t*ts off again)

I share your sentiments, was an excellent day out and was good to meet everyone.

The weather will only be getting better from now on - so next time will be great. James_H, you might even be able to leave your bleeding nipples at home too!

These meets are a little dangerous though arent they - so much stuff I want from ebay now....

James, you should have told me about Seb Coe, I would've turned round and had a gander

You could also have asked his advice about joggers nipple He's done a bit of running in his time IIRC

Steve Ovett was better

Bjorg and Mcenroe rivals(spelling ) of the running scene.

I preffered Ovett, but it did not seem to be the right time or place to start that particular debate

It really chucked it down after you all left when me and Suba tried to do some running in my car and play with the boost controller, was just too damn wet then

Still not a bad day, nice to meet some new faces, thanks John and Si for your help and roll on to a bloody warm meet somewhere

And glad to see that you got no pictures of my spotless car John, don't want to embarass everyone with my cleanliness

Thanks for organising the meet - good to catch up with a few old faces and meet a few new ones (well, new to me anyway).
