How about:-
A3 cafe by the Devils Punch Bowl cup tea bacon butty,
drive past BMW HQ (beep beep 2 x fingers),
then on to Newlands Cnr. good for photos,
then a pub generally have a cruise,

I'd rather drive my e30 than talk to Gordon, Ian & Trevor :P

Really? Says who?

I think you'll find this whole idea was Iains. It has absolutely nothing to do with me whatsoever. It's not my fault if certain individuals wish to fall out with the BMW Car Club - who have INVITED the E30 ZONE ffs!

Why are you all busting a gut to do something away from the BMWCC? What kind of point are you all trying to prove? You can go to BMW GB with your car, along with the Car Club. What's difficult about that?

Sorry Andy, but here's the quote...

Get the local press involved and as long as you don't get headbangers with loud stereos or any c**k action it would be very good.
and here's the thread...

And noone has problems with the Car Club, as I posted earlier. Why can't the Zone do our tribute to the E30 too?

What's wrong with that? Who's said the Car Club can go f*** themselves? I haven't. I've actually SAID that the Car Club has been kind enough to invite us and we should all get along, as we have a common interest.

So we dont need to be a CC member to go along?

Not 100% sure about the Bracknell meet, but the Brands Hatch meet should be no problem.

The initial point was that the Zone wanted to do something for the end of March, the Car Club meet at Bracknell is - I believe - in July.

I can read my own posts, thankyou. I think you will find Iain was talking about this long before that post was made however. As I have said ad infinitum, the BMW CC are doing something and I have explained the reasons clearly why this Zone meet won't happen.- no need to get shirty with me because BMW GB don't want to know. It's not my fault.

If anyone wishes to chuck their toys out of the pram and wave two fingers at the BMW CC meeting as has been mooted, so be it. I get a lot more from the BMW CC than I do here so sorry, but I know where my loyalties lie.

Oh FFS. :roll:
THIS MEET IS HAPPENING. IT IS BEING ORGANIZED BY THE BMW CAR CLUB!!!
BMW GB are not adverse to meetings there - just not with your crowd as I have pointed out several times.
"your crowd " says it all about this guy doesn't it?

Erm he was the one that started slagging off the e30zone - read the posts for his "us" (ie the BMWCC ) and "you" the zone.


If thats his attitude towards the zone then he shouldn't be on here - and I might say it is a typical BMWCC attitude towards e30's

Not at all. I've noticed on a number of occasions antipathy towards the BMW CC which is entirely unwarranted, and it gets a bit wearing after a while. I'm not slagging off the E30 Zone, but on this occasion the battle is lost. It could end up where there are just too many events this year - the Bracknell meeting, the Ace E30 day, two things at Brands, Billing, GayDon and if we're not careful there will be too many events too thinly spread.

ivqii - mate, we've had too many tirades against that Ratch idiot to fall out. So bollocks to it, I'm cool mate. I've just been threated with a kicking on another forum so being called a tosser is mild! :D

Calm it guys. I have also met Andy in the past, and found him to be a decent likeable guy.
I understand your loyalties lying with the CC, Andy, and have no problem with that, or with the CC in general as I've already said. But... I just thought comments like this were a bit OTT and a bit unncessessary at the time, especially from a fellow Zoner.
Andyboy wrote:1.) The BMW Car Club and 10-20 E28 M5's, mostly driven by blokes in their 30's, 40's and 50's. BMW know it's not going to be drama.

2.) E30 Zone, 30 or 40 cars with noisy exhausts, thumping tunes, young guys making noise and generally being a pain in the arse. Imagine all the c0ck action on the roundabouts around Ellesfield Avenue. Security guards ring the Pigs etc, all aggro BMW GB do not need.
Sorry if I've upset anyone, not intentional.

Basically Si, we want something a bit different as a 25th anniversary celebration.
A meet somewhere for some decent photos, a cruise and a pub.
Not after anything too OTT, perhaps just places the Zone hasn't been before so it's not just another meet.

I forgot the drive bit, i've found a nice place to meet up with a good boozer with nice food etc.

We could always trundle down to bracknell as it won't be far. I spoke to Mr.Hamilton today so hopefully a plan is hatching guys

Nothing set, so weekend 29th 30th is the current plan.
Gives us max set up time for the meet.
Ok with everyone? Who wants Saturday, who wants Sunday?
