CHEDDAR GORGE!!! DEVON/SOMERSET MEET!!! 26th April 09

[domellis]

Gutted, missed this thread before. I'm driving my 318is up to Scotland on Thursday so won't be able to make it. Next time, I guess.

Have a blast!

[Tyra]

Just bought a cab so may be tempted to bring her along instead of the shed, all depends on how it goes at the garage on Thursday!

Am trying to tempt someone to come along so we can bring both cars but strangely, most people think I am slighty mad and geeky for wanting to come along!!!

(anyone want to buy my shed? LOL )

[GrindCulture]

I'll be joining the convoy probably at Wellington, rather hungover

[CHRISP]

look like it going to be a good day tim.

Good luck at the garage, hope to see both there if poss If you're mad and geeky, so are millions of others! What's wrong with being interested in cars, going to an incredible place like the gorge, having a nice meal followed by a drive on some of the best driving roads in the area with people with a common interest

I'll be joining the convoy probably at Wellington, rather hungover

See you there

CONVOY
I will post these convoy stops from J30 (M5 north) on other forums so if you want to cruise up in convoy...you can! It'd be good if someone could sort the same for other routes Thumbup

Lay-by (J26 then 1st exit at roundabout)-Wellington 10:35am-10:45am

[onedanuk]

No Audi this time mate!

[HartgeH27]

Anyone know what time the meet goes on to ?

[BIGTKB]

Anyone know what time the meet goes on to ?

The plan is to arrive in the gorge for about 12-12:15, lunch at 1:30 then drive over the mendip hills so at a guess i'd say about 4-5 o'clock

Hope the weather doesn't put anyone off!

[adit]

A big up for Tim, a brilliantly organised meet, good choice of boozer for the grub as well. Shame the cars got split up on the second run but all in all a great day.

Tim !!!!

Good to meet up with some old and new faces, it was a good day.

Maybe one or two might come down to a Southern meet, we are quite a friendly bunch (apart from Spook the Pompey faggot ! lol)

[Mark-W]

That jokes, me an my mate came all the way down from south wales, parked up, wandered round having a nose, got stared at like we were off of a channel 5 documentory or summat, not even a 'hello'!!
Then everyone went flying off up the hill to the pub, i thought yea, be able to chat some bollocks up there, missed the turn following 2 e36's an a fiesta, so had to turn round, an the numpty bollocks in the fiesta sprayeds my car with gravel wheel spinning off, so we went to Wells!!
Shit day, waste of petrol, some nice motors there though!!

[secondtimelucky]

an the numpty bollocks in the fiesta sprayeds my car with gravel wheel spinning off, so we went to Wells!!

That numpty bollox would hav been me, sorry if I showered your car in gravel, I was having difficulty keeping all 50bhp under control.

And why were you so close to get gravel spray anyway??

You weren't the only ones tryin not to get lost, I was tryin to keep up with the 36's as well, I had no idea where I was going either

Strange !

Did you make yourself known ?

Said hello to anyone ? All the geezers are top people, sorry you felt that way. Should and if you come down this way again please ring or text 07810 650 395 and I will make sure that Spook or Hongkongfuey welcome you properly,

[Mark-W]

an the numpty bollocks in the fiesta sprayeds my car with gravel wheel spinning off, so we went to Wells!!

That numpty bollox would hav been me, and its got 50 around bhp so wheelspinning doesnt really work, and why so close to get gravel spray??? And you weren't the only ones tryin not to get lost, I was tryin to keep up with the 36's as well, I had no idea where I was going either

When we were turning round in that little tri-angle bit, the 2 e36's went 1st, i was behind you waiting for you to get back on the road to go in the opposite direction, you wheel spun on the gravel for a few yards, stopped, then shot off after them E36's, obviously wasnt intensional, an you obviously wasnt aware of wot you done, hearing all them stones hitting your car would have probably pissed you off abit too!!

The pub is literally across the road by 100 yards, are you sure it was a Zone meet ?

[secondtimelucky]

wheel spun on the gravel for a few yards

I wish it cud do a few centminetres let alone yards

an you obviously wasnt aware of wot you done, hearing all them stones hitting your car would have probably pissed you off abit too!!

Its a Fiesta if all those stones were hittin the underside of it id have been left parked on a seat with a steerin wheel in my hands

In all seriousness though, apologies if I did 'shower you with gravel' dude, I dont remember doing it but hey, Id forget my car if it wasn't attached to my keys

I said hello, smiled, that sort of thing, ive only ever met 1 person off the zone, some guy in a petrol station in Bath, hes definately a credit to the site, didnt catch his name though, anyways, people were in there little groups, couldnt excactly go up an tap them on the shoulder 'hey, im mark'
anyways, i wont moan anymore, plenty of decent cars there!!
Cheers mate, i'll remember that

LOL!! Righto dude, im not making it up, an i dont want to go on about it anymore, BUT, you was on gravel, i can wheelspin my mountain bike on gravel!!
Anyway, i'll not say another word about it, sorry for banging on!!
still a numpty bollocks though lolz

[secondtimelucky]

LOL no probs mate, never said you were makin it up LOL just I dont remember. No need to apologize for bangin on either, compared to some folk on here it was just a mild complaint anyhoo, make sure you give cheddar another shot next time round, seriously bud it is the type of thing where you can just stroll up to random people and chat, its what we did and ended up talking to chris from Fritzbitz and gettin some ideas for a project

regards,
the zone numptybollox

[Mark-W]

lol, righto, always keep an eye on whats going on in the area, cheers anyway NB
