Beaulieu - Friday Hotel...?

[jonny323i]

I dont want to upset any plans as iv not been following this completely but isnt there somewhere on route like oxford to save on the mileage as portsmouth will be going past where we want to be then coming back

[Jim320i]

Hmm, just doing a quick google map search and Portsmouth is not where I thought it was... Anything below Northampton is all the same place to me!

Ok, Southampton would be a much better bet. Or anwhere along the nearby coast... So I think its back to looking for rooms I'd like somewhere local, we did look at staying in Beaulieu somewhere but all the hotels are small privately owned and cost a fortune. I would rather stay a chain hotel for £30 each...

I did want us to be by the sea for the night but if anyone else can find a hotel nearby (30 minutes or so of the show) I dont mind where we stay. Oxford is still 70+ miles away so need somewhere much closer.

southampton premier inn west quay 1.7 miles from town centre £59 per double or twin room then £7.99 per person if you want breakfast.

Portsmouth isn't that far, half hour if that.
I stayed there on the beachfront in a nice upmarket hotel with silk sheets for 3 nights as the missus and kids were with me on that trip.

Yeah, and the Hotel would like the sheets back.

[kieran325]

Shame ya cab hasn't got the same power as you on this thread

[Rav335uk]

Play nice now.

[kieran325]

I always do, ask Jim when ya share a bed with him

[Jim320i]

Jesus, I'm away for an hour or so and its turned into... The best party ever. We should just hang about in hotels together, the 3 of us...


Anyway... Fiona already broke me in with her size 12 rigger boots.


As for hotels. I dont mind where we stay to be honest. Aslong as we can have a drink the friday, I do not care.

Just need to know where to book!

[jonny323i]

So what does everyone think of the link i sent for the premier inn in southampton

[Rav335uk]

Portsmouth is Spooks backyard, and no doubt Rob will be there too, so I think he could take us all for a drink to an upmarket establishment

[Jim320i]

Portsmouth does sound like more fun i'm thinking and i'm sure there are a few zoners up for a night out too...

[Meatballs82]

Looking forward to this one

[Kedge]

Keeping my eye on this. I'm off that weekend but meant to be working the Friday!

[Meatballs82]

Dave - Your touring could act as a Chromie support vehicle for Jim, Rav and Ricky

[Kedge]

Pffft, no telling that'd even make it! Would have the issue of having to get it through another MOT as well to make this.

[Jim320i]

Dave, arent you feeling sick that friday? And yes, it would be nice to have Chromie support... Which is why we have invited Matt this year to carry all the spare new parts he is gonna buy for us.

Dave you chromie should be well on the road by then... 4 chromie turds in convoy... Matt will look like a coont.

[Kedge]

I'll try my best fella! Maybe some local Zoners could lend a hand once my brakes have been delivered

I'll be the peacekeeper in a non-chrome chromie

[Rav335uk]

Ohhhhh, cheeky.
All the chromies made it last year Matt, and you were lagging behind iirc...

[Meatballs82]

Got stuck behind the red roadsweeper!! anyway, It turns out if I'd have put my foot down I would have been scraping my heels on the tarmac.. my floor was that bad!! all sorted now though

[Kedge]

You'll be even slower with that added weight of actual steel then!

Did you sort out the Petrol smell too??

[Meatballs82]

Car has been a garaged since November pretty much - got next Friday off so going to see my mate at Sytners Northampton for the seal and a few other bits. Think you were def right with your diagnosis though Rav - since Bealieu its had no more than half a tank at any time and the smell has not returned.

[Meatballs82]

You'll be even slower with that added weight of actual steel then!

I'm going gym starting next week so hopefully will cancel each other out!

I bought a chromie to save the weight

[Jim320i]

I'm going gym starting next week and then stopping the following

Fixed.

I'll be down at some point tomorrow dude, once Ricky has been back to drop off some stolen racking for the unit, i'll be on my way over

[jonny323i]

whats happening with this jim

[Jim320i]

Sorry for the late response...

Right, need to figure where we want to be staying, personally I dont mind, just aslong as we can have a drink and get fish & chips on the friday, I couldnt car less... 2p machines and the seaside would be a bonus but not essential.

Now, where would people like to stay, area wise and i'll find us a hotel...

I will if your up for it,

[spook]

Ive not put my name down yet, not sure if im around or not, but if i go i could put Two zoners up at my gaff.

You must be able to drink,fight and eat curry.
