Re: South East

Would anyone in the south east areas be up for meeting up i live in ascot and have only seen a couple passing by I've been looking Into speaking with the owners of longaches to see if they would allow a Sunday morning meet but thought I'd get numbers before approaching them

Thanks Chris

You mean Longacres the Garden Centre on the A30 near Bagshot? That's just around the corner from me, but it can get quite busy in there, perhaps they'd let us use the Staff Parking area to the right?

I deal with Longacres on a weekly basis through the trade.
I will say this - almost no chance.
They did a gumball/crumball rally meeting thing last year, 830am on a weekday, and even then i heard they weren't too happy at losong parking spaces.
Staff parking at weekends is now on the house next.door's lawn due to the carpark being oversubscribed.
I have a meeting in what was the old Wyevale garden centre just along the road from there in the next two weeks. I will ask there

id be up for that - im just down the road in Fleet

Williamsdad, you are also just down the road from Alton on 6th October

Yeah I have noticed the staff park on the owner house next door maybe I won't approach them then haha would anyone else have any suggestions would cool to meet I'll be at Alton on the 6th if anyone else is going

I will be up for that as I only live 2 mins away

I guess we could just organise a little get together and maybe discuss where could potentially meet from then onwards

I would be interested in South East meetings as I don't like to put many miles on my Coupe

How about we meet up at your place then?

I'd like to as well.
But....
Instead of my coop looking like this:-


It's rather more like this:-

That's OK, we'll meet at your place then!

Looks like a bloody fiat scrapyard!

No problem, we'll bring tools and shopping lists

How about the beefeater just up from longaches towards bagshot? Nice sized car park and a chance for brekkie if people would like to

And how about next Sunday? So that would be the 21st?

Depending on the time - I'm in

Ditto for me, it would be rude not to

Is that the old Cricketers pub?

It is indeed.
I am currently coop-less though, with the broomy resto halted and the sprnty halfway through a roll cage install. Dont think it'll be finished....

Should we say 10am for those that can make it or is that too early?

OK for me, and it looks like the weather's going to cheer up a bit too

I'm in, see you there.

I should be there too.

I should be there, we meeting there for the breakfast (served until 11am) or lunch (after some coupe scrutiny and cruise)?

Not that I'm thinking about food.

I will try to get my man to get his bum in gear and get this roll cage in so I can be there

Breakfast or lunch I guess it depends on people's arrival time

Looks to me like people had agreed on 10 am.

I'll be there at 10am

Is anyone going that has the kit to reset the airbag light?

I can give it a go (airbag reset that is)

I’ve managed to sort it, now i’d better clean the car if i’m coming tomorrow!

I'll come along from Newbury.

No cage in so i am coop-less chaps.
Sorry.......

I've only just seen this and have already made plans for tomorrow, but I would be up for a future meet. I live in Newbury.

I'm at the the cricketers now

Thanks for organising it, it was great to meet everyone.

Great to meet/catch up with local Coupe owners. Thanks to those who organised it - and the weather.

I took one photo; red, white and blue. Not necessarily in that order.

Yes good to see everyone. Sorry I had to bring a 'ringer'. Cage install did progress well this afternoon too so a good coop day all round

Was great to meet everyone had a dilemma on the way home as my manifold cracked so spent the rest of the afternoon welding it back up

It was great to finally meet everyone locally - some great examples. I hope we can catch up soon

Heres some photos I took:

A great turnout and a fantastic mix of colours

Yes, great pics! And really only Green, Black and Porto missing from the colours

Great pics I've spoken to the manager of the cricketers and there more then happy for us to meet there more often they even offered for me to give them notice and they will shut a section of the car park off for us obviously as long as we at least grab some tea of coffee

Evening guys it's been a while thinking of of doing another little get together in a couple weeks same place as last time?

I'll come along!

Yes mate, i may have one that works instead of turning up in a 'ringer' lol

Sound good. let us know when

Ditto.

Sorry for the delay in replying guys would everyone be able to make the 21st in 2 weeks time same place as last time

I've got family down Chris, its my son's 21st (I know I don't look old enough....!!)

I'm on holiday I'm afraid.

I'd potentially be up for a meeting but cannot make the date proposed.

Also need to see if the Coupe passes it's MOT having been stored up for the last 2 years before im going anywhere!

Count me in !

I have a broken heel at the moment so unable to drive, also the car needs an MOT too. I will have to miss this date. Sorry!
