I'm still on....car's still running!

i might turn up for 10 mins or so, just to see my old coupe if nicboy makes it.
Although i will be in a A6 Avant, not as exciting as my old coupe.
Nic, have you still got my mobile no? Text me if you are going and i'll try to pop up.

Just a quick reminder about tomorrow :

12.15pm - Meet at Winchester Tesco car park (usual place by the main entrance)

1pm - Leave for the pub in convoy

1.30pm - Arrive at the Bear & Ragged Staff at Stoneymarsh near Romsey

The weather's not looking fantastic , but hopefully the Hampshire back roads will make up for it !

Phil

Was lovely up here today

Hope its a good one Phil

I'll hopefully be there too, am checking if Edz will be out of bed in time to come down too.

I'll be bringing the video camera and mount (courtesy of Fishy_Dave) as requested by my bro, Webbo.

Hopefully get some decent weather and video!

Come on guys, what did I miss?

Well i'm happy that i said i couldnt make it. I ended up not getting out of bed till 2pm

Up at 14:30 for me. Had a shower and sha (stop, too much detail ) then fell asleep on the sofa watching Return of the mummy. Great day!

Despite getting horrifically drunk last night i made it up to Tescos to meet everyone for a little while, its a shame couldnt have come on the drive but work was a-callin'.

Great to meet you all anyway, what a friendly bunch of Coopsters

Phill

Good meet today. Thanks for sorting Phil

I had a nice blast back to London, lots of people wanted to play

Great turn out for a south meet, apart from the lazy gits who stayed in bed all day

Agreed - nice job Phil, and great meeting everyone. Here's to the next one!

DBP

JimO please note, the weather was good too.

Some fun roads in south Hampshire.

And corners

Good to meet new people as well.

Pete

Glad you all enjoyed it ! As you say Pete, the weather smiled on us yet again for a South Meet . Must be something to do with JimO not being there, I think .

Phil

Actually all the meets I attend have rubbish weather, the freezing one at bluewater, the wet one this year, maybe it is me

Although was also cracking weather in Surrey yesterday, so I was pimping around in my topless alfa, note I say in my topless car and not topless in my car

The southern meet goes from strength to strength! Really enjoyed it yesterday, and free drinks at the pub !

Got some good video footage so when I get round to compressing and uploading it I will put it in a secure area and PM the password to you guys. After that if there are no objections I will remove the password for open access. Not sure what you can see in the videos yet as the cam ran out of batteries when downloading

I was really annoyed I could't make it but a dodgy curry the night before prevented me from attending .

Sounds like a good meet and the weather stayed nice for you too. The roads are very nice around that area.

What's this about free drinks in the pub then?!

Mark

They charged me for nosh but not the drinks

I was feeling exceptionally generous so I gave Phil a pound cash-back to share in the spoils

Free drinks! Awww i knew i should have not bothered with work.

Yep, Webbo managed the first ever group buy discount on drinks and food at a meet !

Phil

Great meeting guys, really enjoyed myself; & it proved to be a great cure for a hangover too. Thanks for making the arrangements Phil.

Nice to be chauffeur driven this time, I was itching to get behind the wheel; but it’s just not worth the risk is it?

And great to be part of the convoy too; - right up until we left Tescos car park!

Gary.

Yeah,
twas a good laugh and good to put some faces to the names. Thanks v much guys. Look forward to the next one!!!

It was good to have a nice blat in a pack so to speak.... especially when we all went past that pub with all those people outside.... expect they were wondering what was in the water!!

Nic,
I spotted you southbound on the m3, . I can spot a sprint blue coupe a mile off, especially with the plate P306HHF!!
My shouting and excitement certainly woke the missus and youngster up!

Anyone get any pics?

I don't know of any pics, but as we speak I'm trying to convert the videos that were taken from my camcorder in Webbo's car into something manageable for YouTube or similar.

The main movie is only 11 minutes long but weighs in at 737MB!

Another great meet, I must say, cheers Phil!

737Mb, pah thats nothing, hurry up, hurry up, lol

737MB? Mute my exhaust and it'll be down to 100

Ahhh so it was you who i could hear tearing off!

Dunno, there were a few other loud ones there, mine is the one with a high-pitched scream

You defo got to get some bits on line, was great fun of us together like that a big snake of multi colour coupes!!!

It was a real shame u could not get up to tesco Mark, would have been good to see ya. Glad u got to see the old gal though, even if it was in passing.... bet the missus n littlun wondered what was going on!!!

OK, well I've managed to squeeze the file size down to 100MB, so acceptable for YouTube, but it's still a bit long at 11 minutes, so it's over to my bro for him to display some fine editing skills...

Its uploading as we speak...

I can't set it to private because there are other pictures in my account that need to be visible for a How-To guide etc. The quality is compressed enough that no plates are visible. However, if anybody has an objection to it I will remove it immediately.

Oh yeah and its large, >60MB sorry! Come to think of it this might be a late night....
