ZONERS IN KENT AND SOUTH EAST !!!!

[candyman]

Hi to all! in previous thread was saying about getting a meet in ashford kent sorted out at the american diner , I have spoke to the manager there and he would be happy for us to have a once a month meet on a friday night .

For those who dont know the diner it is real american style diner (bit like a huge aluminum trailer) it has good floodlit carpark area and the food is good too !

manager has said that he will also give us 10% off all food and drink on the night

Must say though really dont think it would be place for donuts / burnouts etc

would really like to get some names together before i go back to manager to confirm any dates so only put your name down if you would genuinely turn up
I do understand not everyone could turn up at every meet but would like to get an average number of people who will turn up reguarly

Thanks

Stuart

If its not a week night I might be interested in the occational trip down but not a regular monthly antendee.

Got Lakeside and the Grasshopper closer

Good luck though

[candyman]

Its difficult getting a meet established.

I tried to arrange an E30Zone meet at a pub that Pistonheads use http://www.thewoodman-idehill.co.uk/ been there a few times, big car park, great food, nice roads to get to it. Got a good response but only the Croydon Massive turned up . Not a problem, great weather, sat outside with good company and we tucked into some of the best burgers and mixed grills most of us had tasted.

If you was looking at the 1st friday say of the month i'd definatly be interested

Yeha that was a good laugh that day, wicke dfod aswel. Will go back ther ein the summer for some more steak

Candyman, Im normally round ashford way in the summer weekend anway as i have a caravan in Monkton (near margate)

Id be up for it

[Speedtouch]

I'd be interested also, sounds pretty

[candyman]

Good responses people !! would like to get between 10-30 cars would be fantastic (diner holds around 48-50) and even said he will stay open late if enough people turn up


keep em comin

Well done for sorting this out, I am only 5 minutes away but I am not around on Friday nights... If a meet gets going I will pop along though

[cliffybabe]

ill see if any more of the croydon lot r up for this

[SamE30]

Would be up for this once ive sorted a motor! Summer times meets are the way forward theres something about cruising about in your shorts, with the window down in the light at 10.30pm

[stuartgallafant]

sounds good, BUT, its a friday... friday is beer night!!! and i agree with cotty on our little mini meet!! such a good place for food!! shame that didnt pan out the way we all thought?!

i would be interested to see how this turns out though

[bazza93]

be good for the summer meets, could be interested but not fridays chrome rightious all the way

[Splondike]

Stuart - what has happened about this mate ?

Looks like Friday is not good, what other times were there - Saturday or Sunday would probably be best ?

[Cotty]

i agree with cotty on our little mini meet!! such a good place for food!! shame that didnt pan out the way we all thought?!

IM going back soon for a pistonheads anniversary meet, they are laying on a BBQ

[candyman]

will give him another ring as he did say they had a mini club using one of the saturdays but it wasnt going to well so a possibility e30 s could take it over try and let you all know tomorrow:D

Stuart

[DemonDaz]

I'd love to do this, but Fridays are out for me as the misses works so I need to be at home with the kids.

[thebloosman]

I'M IN Ashford and would be up for that no bother, exept some fridays as I play in a band most w'ends. sounds good though, i used to go down there for the mini nights and it was a scream!!!! cheers

[Splondike]

Hey Stu, what did the diner reckon then ?

[essexboy]

whats happening with this all gone quiet

[Steve-E30]

This was mentioned at the lakeside meet , Think the problem was theres already a few meets already covering that area but id give it a go

[essexboy]

it would be good for this time of the month gotta be worth a try

[Splondike]

Saturday night seemed favourite, I like the idea of this meet as it is on my doorstep for a change. Not sure if Stuart is following this up or not ? I will send him a PM and see what happened.

[Splondike]

Guys, I have had a chat with Stuart and I am going to go in and see the diner people and see what's what. Watch this space for updates.

[Steve-E30]

Is this the one on the Bybrook garden centre carpark on the a28 near ashford ??
Guy at work mentioned it today at work and said the food is spot on , Anyone up for a random trip up there one weekend ??

[1an]

ya jsut pick a weekend steve and im sure a few of us would come for a drive out.

[Steve-E30]

Well i was up that way tonight so popped in for a burger , Bloody nice food and drinks and the atmosphere was great I turned up with a carpark full of yanks as it was there night but was made welcome and a few took interest in the e30
Got contact details if anyone is interested in a regular meet up there obviously not clashing with lakeside or any other local meets , If i can guarantee a sensible amount he will give us a night , I was thinking the last friday of each month so its 2 weeks either way of lakeside ??
Only thing is there only open till 10pm but can chat to him about that as well , Should we get a list going of those deffinatly interested and throw some days around ??
Ill put a few pics up tomorrow of the place as well .

[robbo86]

might be up for a breeze up there, fraid my e30 is fairly standard and boring (atm) but got another post up about fitting e36 wheels to an e30...... see the ice/accesorys section if anyone has any ideas.... ashford is about 30 miles from me, would be good to get up there and meet some people

[robbo86]

meant to say, probably wont be able to attend every month because the doris wont let me, and probably neither will my job, but will do my best

Right , A few pics from last night , Firstly the amerian diner where theres quite a bit of room inside and toilets to the side , Flood light come on as well so your not in the dark outside

Now the important bit , The food , Lovely hoola hoola burger with pineapple

Free refills on coke , dr.pepper etc as well

Looking back on the thread people are saying no to a friday night , According to the guy i spoke to he said we could go the same night as the mini night so the 2nd saturday of the month , Problem being is lakeside falls on the 2nd or 3rd week of each month so might clash every so often unless lakeside was the 3rd saturday of the month but would have to speak to dave (dolph)

Need guaranteed names and the place is absolutly spot on for a e30 meet and is a regular for the dub boys , No chavs in sight either

[Speedtouch]

Would E34's be acceptable? If so, chalk me in dude!

Of course mate, I am sure the more the merrier....

Nice one Steve, when I went along there they were shut

Friday's are no good for me in general but I will get along for some of it.
