Hi there Zoners..

I have been on for a short while now. I must i have had some great help and advice given by some of the e30 gurus for which i am thankful for.

Having read up on the recent thread about more e30 meets need to take place.

I for one strictly agree. A few good pointers have been mentioned in that thread so i thought id just do a little research before starting anything.

Firstly how many of us are there in the East end and south east of london?

&

secondly who here would be interested in meeting up and having a good few hours around our much loved e30's?

Everybody is invited. i only ask for the east side of london as i live there and also to kick start a e30 meet in and around the areas.

regards

Jon

I spent a lot of time around Hackney up until about a month ago when I moved out of London back to the motherland of Hertfordshire. Still have a fair few friends and the odd bit of work over that way.

I'd be up for taking a drive over to east london of an evening...

the Zones 1st ever meet was at lakeside, we started to have an east side meet years ago at lakeside McDonalds which was good as easy to get to and the Essex people would attend as well but after about 5 years died off, we still have ace café 1st Monday of each month which is hit and miss of E30s

Guys it would be great to start somethign back up again. We have a fair few places in east we all can meet once a month.

East London as a whole has developed a fair bit ove the past 5 -8 years with the Olympics and new builds in and around Stratford.

Is anybody from ourside of the woods going to Santa Pod on the 15th Sep next month, if so maybe we could all arrange o meet up some place away from gun shots and robbers and take a cruise all together to Santa Pod.

Anybody up for this? 8)

Not too far away from me, I've yet to meet another Zoner, might have a serious think about coming to one of these meets. Little bit scared of people noticing my strangeness though.

To those who are from Southend, I know there are a lot of (E30 unrelated) car meets regularly down there, where abouts in Southend do they usually take place?

HI guys,

I am not sure if this had gone forward as I was unable to make it. Having just come back from Stratford I must say that the nice tall new builds and the environment itself has improved for the better. A pleasant drive to Westfields with the wife to break my bank and only just got back to Romford.

I would strongly recommend we all should meet in Stratford some place.

What are your thoughts?

Jon
