Blatants Magnificent Weekend. June 30th. Newquay. UPDATE!!!!

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Try being 36

Mind you I didnt start karting until I was 30, then spent 4 years racing 2 endurance championships, 20 races a year.

I'm sure I'll try it in due course!! ;)

[munky30]

age sucks.

and im anly 25.

Try being 29!

Its got nothing to do with age... More to do with being a lazy bastard and not doing any martial arts, sports, or exercise of any kind, for about 10 years.

I'm a spritely 28 btw.

Been looking for a reason to head back to the south coast for a few years now.. A holiday didn't cut it some how..
Now a weekend of E30ness in the beautiful end of the country, surrounded by beer and bbq's.. Try and keep me away!
The missus loves the south coast more than me, so she was no problem.. Just gotta get the car through the mot..
Though will probably have to give the night out in Newquay a miss.. Will have a 10 month old (e30 enthusiast in training) in tow..

So Max, you wanna meet up on A38 somewhere on way to m5? Though if thats an M3 in your siggy your driving you might have to hold back for me..

Terry '87 320i

[munky30]

If meeting up with max doesnt work out, a few people are meeting at exeter services (M5 Junction 30) on the friday at 1.30pm to convoy down to the site.

Good to have another name signed up, its destined to be a great laugh.....

and... if someone else is bringing women and children, I might even be able to persuade the familly to come along too.

[tezk]

Exeter? We're near enough there by then.. Though I notice there may be a few Bristol / Welsh types joining up.. Happen a meet near Bristol prior to Exeter? But then driving the BM is a joy so I'd be happy to solo the whole run, get lost a few hours, and get there after dark.. Though the tired wife and baby would probably disagree with my beer over tent pitching priorities by then

And please encourage the kids to come.. It'll give the missus something to talk about whilst I make a fool of myself on the go-carts..
btw, where we want the cheque sending for that? Was thinking of paying by paypal but the charges on that are prolly more than the cost of a stamp

Trecking down with Max would be a good idea. As previously suggested, we're meeting a few cars at Exeter approximately 1.30pm. Cotty is meeting me in Yeovil and having a refresh there. Cannot remember where exactly he's coming form or if that's any good to you.

Meeting up would be good. It's a bit of hike from Derby so if you can make it in time, the rest will be advisable.



It's a piece of cake to get there really, shouldn't worry too much

[tezk]

Current plans are just to try and get to Exeter for the meet up there.. Thinking on, with the nipper in tow we'll probably end up taking breaks every other services on the way down. I'll see what everyones doing and take it from there.

It is a bit of a way from here. The wife and I drove down 3 years ago - just took the A38 south? It was pretty good going until you got to the towns, so we'll probably stick to the Mways this time. We've said ever since we'd love to take another holiday down there but couldn't really justify the expense.. at £5 per night, thats the cheapest I've seen and getting to meet fellow E30 (and beer and bbq) enthusiasts has gotta be worth a run out.
I've just booked the rest of the week off work, so we're going to make a week of it.
And I'm more than sure the cars up to it.. I bought her just over a month ago from someone in Kilwinning, just South of Glasgow? A 300 mile run with a couple of breaks, a tear in the air elbow and leaking fuel everywhere.. Managed it in just over 8 hours

So is there a Tesco's or something nearby? Or can I bung someone a few quid when I get there to get some burgers or something? We've got a cool box, but I wouldnt fancy eating meat products carried 300+ miles in the back of a black car in (hopefully) hot weather, no matter how charred..

[stevo_sideways]

Lads need some info on how to put the deposit on the go-karts please?

Also do I need to book my camping through you lads or do i need to contact them directly?

I have 8 including me coming over from Ireland so far!!

Cheers,

Stevo

Fair effort mate!!!

Camping we'll sort out as we turn up. I just need to warn them of numbers. Can you put your boys names on the list please??

PM tailoutcharlie about the go-karts, he's sorting it. He'll give you an addy for a cheque to be posted to.

[jamesh1977]

548 miles away but still tempted just need to see if i can get an e30 on the road for it worst case senario can my mate rik come ? ill promise ill bring a sheet to hide his e36

[munky30]

Anybody's welcome, even lowly e dirty 6 owners

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Yeah bring him along. Add to the list. Looks like a few will be staying a couple nights longer mate.

If the weather's like this, you'll not forget about it in a hurry.

Everyone used to be really friendly when out and about. Had a few beers with some lads from Manchester a few years ago, a few from Yorkshire too.

[tailoutcharlie]

according to my van, twas 21 degrees down here today.

not quite sure bout that, but still damn hot, i have a fantastic tshirt tan.

jamesh1977 get down here mate, will be worth it for the beer alone, i got the whole week after off so if anyone wants some ideas on what to do with yourselves, i offer my services

[march109]

could whoever is collecting the money for the karting please PM me with payment details I really can't be arsed to read the whole thread!

[munky30]

It was hot as hell here in plymouth today. I spent the day fiddling with the car and I H ave tanned arms.. except where they had oil on, where I have untanned bits.

If we have weather like this for the weekend down there it will be damn fine. (If my cooling system is fixed so I dont have to drive everywhere with the heaters on full

I'm probably staying for the sunday night, maybe longer.

[Cotty]

i got the whole week after off so if anyone wants some ideas on what to do with yourselves, i offer my services

I have the whole week off as well. The idea was that I could stay a few extra days and see a few places as its a long way to go just for a weekend.

[tezk]

Just read they're predicting this year being a record breaker of a year temperature wise.. They reckon we always have cracking summers when El Nino rears its head..

Me and the wife (and the baby) are staying the week - planning on visiting a few coves, beaches and castles..

Nightmare! Not sure if i'll stay sunday night or not. Will speak to my mate. Prob make up my mind when there.

[tezk]

If anyone's still thinking but hasn't experienced the beaches down there first hand, I found this this morning:

http://www.fistrallive.com/index.html

There's a java plug in to load, but it's a live webcam of a beach near there.. Plus details of a few things to do locally..
I was sat in the freezing front room this morning, looking out at the gloom outside, with the image of a sunny beach on the screen..

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Fistral isn't bad, a little over rated and the first beach the grockels head for. There are far better beaches around, as munky, charlie and I can testify!!!

Cornwall in the sunshine is a very fine place. Nice to see you have something to keep you going!!

[tailoutcharlie]

Cornwall in the sunshine is a very fine place

and cornwall in the rain is very slidey

So no matter what the weatehr decides to contribute. It will still be awesome!!
