Shoreham (near Brighton) meet May or June TBC

[BMWill87]

OK, here we go again trying to get an informal Brighton meet going.

Date: 25/03/2012
Time: 3pm
Place: Madeira Drive at the marina end

Hopefully the weather will be good and Saturday night hangovers will have subsided by 3pm. Doesn't have to be a late one, just an excuse to take your car out for a run. See you there

[terry_e30]

how many cars goin to this then ? might come along

[BMWill87]

we tried to get this going last month but there was a slow take up on the idea. Trying again this month, it's not about lists or definite numbers. Just putting it out there that if you fancy taking your E30 for a drive there "might" also be some like minded E30 owners who are out and about and there is an end destination to your drive. These things are always weather dependant but if everyone likes the idea and turns up it could become more established

[fowler]

used to be a good meet the old brighton ones the missus is out on sun afternoon might treat myself to and afternoon out

[Tom_Maverick]

I'll be there.. (I live about ten minutes away so I've no excuse)

[BMWill87]

Weathers looking good for tomorrow. So why not take the old rust bucket for a drive to the beach

[Tom_Maverick]

Looks nice out! Might give the turd a wax before this afternoon..

I have a bloody abscess though so excuse the big face!!

[BMWill87]

Beemers at the beach today, only want to see the car Tom not your boat see you there

[BMWill87]

last reminder folks

[Tom_Maverick]

Madeira drive is closed... Shall we meet at the maccy d's in the marina?

[Tom_Maverick]

Ha, I feel about 17 again.. It's a pretty poor venue.. C'mon chumps I can't be the only one with an iPhone..
Where you at?

[BMWill87]

Bloody Sport Relief shutting Madeira Drive Anyway headed for the marina, saw Tom coming away from there, quick flash of the lights and presto TWO cars ended up at the makeshift venue lol.

Good to meet you Tom, very nice car and love the wheels. I think the stretch on the back looks perfect, I know you talked about going a bit wider but I don't think it needs it.

Shall we try for third time lucky with a Brighton meet ???

[Tom_Maverick]

I'm up for it.. well, nice to meet you too mate.. car looked lovely.. and those rims suit it down to the ground! we'll have to have a sunroof changing party somewhen!





tell you what.. we should do the next one in Stanmer park.. it's much nicer.. and it's less likely to be closed!

[bss325i]

I was half tempted to drive down as i was at a loose end this afternoon but no tax on the E30.

Next time maybe.

[willf]

Alright fella's i'd be up for a brighton meet sometime, couldnt make this one unfortunately!

PS i work out of stanmer park and parking on a nice day can be a f**king nightmare

[BMWill87]

We'll have to think of a place outside Brighton as the good weather will make parking in town a nightmare. Nice pics mate, my car actually looks good, you can't see the rust

[HartgeH27]

Worthing ????

[Tom_Maverick]

Worthing ????

don't swear this is a family forum!!

well, anywhere really.. stanmer park can be busy but there's plenty of room and we can even get the barbecue out if it's sunny!

[HartgeH27]

We could get a few down from this end, did a Brighton meet a few years ago and the problem was Maderia is pretty restricted. Not knowing your patch too well, would be good if you could identify a good location/pub/cafe with good photo opportunities and easy parking.

Perhaps plan for May/June to give peeps a chance to get organised ??

Barbeque would be good.

[Tom_Maverick]

ok.. how about the royal coach in shoreham? it's right on the 27 and I already organise a retro car meet there.. (it's just off the A27 too)

[HartgeH27]

Sounds like a plan, May 6/13/20 or June 24/30, you pick a date and I will help to promote. Perhaps a 1300 meet, barbeque if possible and a mini cruise ???

[HartgeH27]

Gives peeps an idea of distance.

HTH

Yeah I can do some of those so if it fits

[HartgeH27]

Dorset deviants ? Pompey faggots ???

[bss325i]

Surrey lot?

I'm down dates depending.

[Gortour]

Looks like a possibility, depending on date.

[HartgeH27]

Same, same Barry, sounds like a good location and a different venue, be good to catch up. Can you give Si and Trev a nudge please ?

Perhaps we could entice Oz as well ??

[adit]

well i can't speak for the faggots (oh, Suchy has already posted ), but i could be there, work permitting

[suchy]

Ahh F*ck you Adi

Just noticed Oz is getting some window rent so no excuses from him!

[Gortour]

Getting my window rent next week too.

[suchy]

Better set off for Shoreham straight away then

[BMWill87]

Royal Coach at Shoreham is a good idea, been to a couple of American car meets there.

[Tom_Maverick]

I'll find out what other meets there are at the pub during the week.. I'll let you know what dates it's free and we can go from there!

see.. not just a pretty face...

I organise a retro meet down there once a month (on the last thursday) which usually degenerates into a bit of abuse on the big roundabout outside (there's a couple of pro drifters and a three door cossie that always seem to hit a slippery patch on entry) last month a 3rd gen camaro lit them up coming out of the car park.. the landlady came out, impressed, and then told us all that she once put a rover v8 into a capri herself.. ideal! (not the capri bit obviously.. )

yeah they definitely seem a car friendly pub, I know the yank boys used it as a meeting point a couple of years ago for their London to Brighton cruise.
