[secondtimelucky]

[BIGBAZ]

[SPADGE]

thats ok mate its not that far to you, i think

Yep just up the road about 150-200 miles

[munky30]

150 miles is nothing. A mere walk to the shops.

I have a tourING and would go to a tourING meet... I'm in plymouth.

[470813]

Sounds good to me, just hope Mr. M.O.T. agrees. (I'm in Bewdley, Worcestershire)

[secondtimelucky]

cool, now all we gotta do is get more tourers on the map, lol you kno anyone who might be interested in coming? i dont know anyone on here yet its all good though

[jcjdavis1]

Hi Sounds good but its a bit far from Paisley/Glasgow.

[georgen]

Hi Sounds good but its a bit far from Paisley/Glasgow.

And even further from the top of the world. Sounds all good though....

[tailoutcharlie]

theres lots of tourINGs on here.

as has been said, tourINGs are the new black

[BadDave]

Hi Sounds good but its a bit far from Paisley/Glasgow.

NOT as far as just North of Aberdeen
I could be up for it

IF it doesn't clash with other things I've got lined up for the next few months

[Gortour]

I could be interested dependant on meet location...

Where are you planning? How about Taunton / Bristol ish area... By the M4 and M5 then, so not too nasty for people travelling to it.

Cheers

[BadDave]

Fom John o Groats and just North of Aberdeen.

not too nasty for people travelling to it

[Gortour]

Can't please EVERYONE...

Where did you have in mind?

[BadDave]

Know what you mean Re Can't please everyone.
Might be better holding off on the location till we know who's going to come and where there coming from.
Then decide on a reasonably central meeting point
I'm guessing some where in Englandshire

[Gortour]

Good move.
Maybe two meets, one for the Northern Englandshire and Scotland, and one for the Southern Englandshire...

[georgen]

Good move.

You guys HAVE to come up to the far north of Scotland. The roads are very quiet, very windey and very police free !!! C'mon, you know it makes sense

[BadDave]

I realise that there's probably a higher percentage of Tourer owners are based South of the border and have already concluded that a "Southern"(to me anyway) meet would be inevitable

Good move.

Maybe two meeta, one for the Northern Englandshire and Scotland, and one for the Southern Englandshire...

OR

If enough people are coming
Could possibly have the meet somewhere central

For example York Raceway

Just a thought

[Gortour]

Who's paying the petrol? Gonna cost a couple of tanks each way just to GET there.

Admittedly I'd love to come and have a look at Scotland. I've heard a lot about the beauty up there, but not actually been. Maybe a weekend away for me and the missus sometime.

(as long as I take the wife about a bit and have a look around. A weekend consisting entirely of cars, and I'll be divorced...)

[secondtimelucky]

well im totally blown away, never thought so many of y'all would wanna do this, sweet!!! Gonna have a little look at a big map tonight(ish) and see what sort of locations would work for all, and then maybe arrange a date, if everyones still up for it, hope so

[BadDave]

You guys HAVE to come up to the far north of Scotland. The roads are very quiet, very windey and very police free !!! C'mon, you know it makes sense

Not to mention Very Narrow with passing places

Hell Yeah

Nice one .

Thinking the A82 through Glencoe, up to Fort William then up the West Coast then accross the top to John o Groats,down through Dingwall to Inverness then Either the A9 south to Perth or the A96 towards Aberdeen

Like you way of thinking

Gordon, you'd love it. Seriously. We have proper drivers roads up here ( no duel carriageway for about 100 miles ) and the scenery is unbelievable. Just the kind of environment that the E30 was built for. Yes, the fuel bill would be quite high, but you have a 1.8 so it would'nt be nearly as bad as a proper E30

Might be better to wait a bit till you see exactly how many are coming 1st
Then find a mutually acceptable venue to hold the meet

It's not really too narrow TBH. The alternative backroad from Inverness to Bettyhill is single track but not too narrow. Bettyhill to Thurso is the finest road that I know of anywhere in the world. Winding and predictable with LSD preferred !!! Thurso - John O' Groats -Inverness is immense fun and very quiet. Lots of places to stay up here and the crack is superb. I'm well open to suggestions for meet locations though...

[Gortour]

What's with the "Proper BMW" shite then? Nothing wrong with my 318 Auto that a turbo wouldn't put right...

[secondtimelucky]

well it shouldn't take much at the mo no matter how many more r interested cos we got, scots all the way to down south in poole interested at the moment so central for them is gonna be central for anyone else

[secondtimelucky]

i agree mines only a 1.8 as well but mines a manual, size matters especialy when insurance is involved at my age

Hi I agree about the above roads as I used to be on that road with a 12m coach every other week.Fantastic.

I jest only Gordon. It's guaranteed that your fuel bill is a lot better than mine

[Gortour]

Derby way seems central... If we get bored we can go to Alton Towers...

and georgen, no offence taken mate...

AND

Definately MUCH better than my chipped 325

100 miles = £18

[Gortour]

I get over 300 miles to a tank (£45-ish if running on fumes...)

[munky30]

pah, 100 miles = £25 ish with my chipped 325 on a 316 diff

High mpg is for pussies.
