I've been to this meet a number of times over the years and thought it would be a good chance for the SW Zoners to get to together (and any others that want to venture over :) )

It's not a show, its a classic car meet. Its free and usually attracts 1000+ vehicles of all ages, size, shape, make and model. Some are pristine garage queen classics, others are not so polished!

Its normally an arrive and park type meet, but if there's enough interest, I can speak to the organiser to get us some space 'booked'.

So its Sunday 31st August, about 9-9.30am TBC. Location The Parklands, Henlade, Taunton TA35NB - 5mins from J25 of the M5.

Anyone interested?

Sorry for the lack of replies guys, had internet issues whilst away but I'm back now :)

There's no need to book for this, but I need to let them know that we have a group arriving.

I've updated the list below with the maybes and I'll sort a time and place for us all to meet up.

Hopefully see everyone there 8)

:o: totally forgot to add a meeting time and place!

I'll suggest meeting at the Murco Petrol station TA12UH as its right on the M5 J25 roundabout, so its nice and easy to find. And its only 5mins from the meet itself. I reckon on 9:30am at the Murco station, leaving about 9:45 ish so we can arrive and get parked together.

If anyone is up for a small drive after, I can sort a route over the Blackdown Hills to arrive at a watering hole near Wellington not far from J26 M5.

Sounds good to me too! Weather doesn't look too bad from the forecast. You'll hear me coming from a mile off, my car is a bit vocal with it's leaking exhaust!

Until about an hour ago my touring didn't have an exhaust, but it's back to its normal quiet self now.
So it just needs a clean and it will be ready for tomorrow!

See you all in the morning :D

Mines because i made the mistake of spending over £1000 on an exhaust I thought wouldn't leak, but that's another story.

My turd's had a good wash today, and tried out a new amazing wax! See you all soon!

No Mucker, I'm picking up a few people enroute and I live pretty close to the event. So hopefully I can find the E30's when I get there about 11

Cool. I spoke to Steve (the organiser) yesterday and they might not be doing club parking as such, just parking groups if they arrive together. I'll try and keep a space or two but not sure if it will be possible.
