If you want your car sorting send us a text and we will get it clean and shiny before sunday

[reggiebaby]

unfortunately i cant polish the rust off the e34 so a wash and wax will have to do, east coast west coast alternate meet sounds good thou ,mineral blue pm me your mobile number and rabbit ill give you a ring sunday morn and if the one of the notts zoners pm's the diddler there mob number we can meet em on m42 let us know what the crack is mr diddler i didnt save your number when you came round






p.s anyone got any bits they cud bring to sell to zoners when we meet up

[capri_rob]

How about the west-midlanders meeting you guys at Tamworth Services ( j10 M42 )

[The_Diddler]

A38 then onto M42 would certainly get you there, however Junction 9 is just one large shi*ty roundabout with nowhere to stop and meet up.

However if you do A38, then head towards Tamworth on the A5 all the way to Junction 10 of the M42 it would be easy to meet at the Granada services there.

Let everybody know what the verdict is.................

Imys, and Reggiebaby Pm'ed with my mobile

Lots of cleaning to do now before sunday, this should be a great meet !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mineralblue]

Well like I said before,if your coming down the 42 I could meet you at J11 maccy D's and go the scenic route.If we are to meet the A38 lot then us Tammies would be as well to meet them at Maccy D's at Bassetts Pole island,either one suits me.How many are coming down the 42?

[mr_dink]

Right then Notts guys where are we going to meet for a convoy?

Say meet at Castle Marina retail park (nice and central) at about 12 to go over and join up with the Derby guys at 1?

Open to any other suggestions as to where we could meet as the retail park will probably quite busy on easter sunday!

[gooner1]

Got to work Sunday morning now, might be late but will make it.
Dave 318, will call you later mate.

[ImysE30]

Sound's like a good idea, we'll be coming down the A38 and then could meet the tammy's at 'London Road' roundabout, looking on Google maps, there's a car park there so we could all meet up and then head down the A446 or any other way.

[nicky786]

yes dink its nick meet u at castle marina at 12pm 5 cabs an 2 coupes hopefully how many meetin there do u know

[mineralblue]

Coolio,if all of you are coming down the A38 then us Tammies can meet you at what we know as Bassetts pole island(Where the A446 London Rd is)There is a car park there,a pub and a Maccy D. What time shall we meet there? 1.30? It's only about 10-15 mins to the final destination from there.
Reggie,Racin and Diddler, if the 1.30 is good with the northerners shall we meet somewhere in town first?

[ImysE30]

I've told people to be at the Derby meet up for 1.15 so 1.30 meet up at tammy will be ok

[reggiebaby]

yeah mineral just let us know wheres good all the shops shud be shut sunday down ventura so anywhere how about car park next to strikers the small one by tennis courts no pay and display on sunday can jump on a5 up to mile oak then

[scootlife]

So really we need to be leaving Derby at 1.15 then ??? I will aim to be there for 1 or maybe just before... Is Tamworth only 15 mins away then ?

[ImysE30]

Most people will be there for 1pm i hope

Can't be that far i guess. The meet start's at around 2pm so plenty of time

[DanThe]

I wont be ready for this

But the weather doesnt look to promising anyway TBH

[ImysE30]

Hopefully the forecast will get better

Would have loved to see the 2.8

[scootlife]

just had a look at weather for coventry and looks good, mostly sunny, 10% chance of rain...but that can soon change !!!

[mr_dink]

yes dink its nick meet u at castle marina at 12pm 5 cabs an 2 coupes hopefully how many meetin there do u know

Safe mate shall we say meet at maccies on Castle Marina then?

Don't know how many coming from Notts but everyone else is welcome to join us for the convoy, 12pm @ mcds, I'll try to get Lee and Gofton to come.

You already got Faz and Mo coming?

[pac1982]

Providing everythings all good with my new E30 i should be tagging along, anyone else from Leicester going?

[lowey]

Weather forecast looks good - room for 1 more?

I live in Telford, the A5 will be more scenic than Motorway, would be cool to meet up with anybody else en route. Tamworth services was mentioned earlier, or further west along the A5, Cannock etc?

[Felix79]

Well managed to blag a tank of fuel today and checked the route and it's very striaght forwards M40 , M42 , A45

So I will defiantly be there tomorrow afternoon in the Alpina ( Just wish I had my Alpina cluster fixed in time )

What time you guys aiming to get to the Bassets Pole ? Around 1.30 ?

I hope the Toby Carvery has space for approximately 40 E30's in addition to their normal customers

[ImysE30]

Around 1.30 Rob if everything is on schedule

I hope so to, had a look on google maps and the car park seems quite big

[capri_rob]

Gonna look fantastic having that many E30's all in one place - should be able to get some good photo's. If the weather is anything like today I think it will be a big success !

[ImysE30]

Going to be awesome

Picture of the place:

[capri_rob]

Lol - We'll be taking up about a third of the carpark !

[ImysE30]

Car park full of E30's, can't get much better than that

[scootlife]

If the weather is anything like today I think it will be a big success !

Its raining here...well was drizzling !!! And Mattsbmw is coming to clean my car( oops sorry help me clean )my car in about 40 mins !!!

That car park is going to be so full...lets hope they dont have a mass of sunday eaters !!

[capri_rob]

Bright and sunny here - has been all day - forecast for tomorrow is quite good as well I think

[gooner1]
