[Gortour]

OK guys and girls,

Southern meet is now arranged.

Meeting at 12.00 at Picket Post on Sunday 19th August.

We'll move on to a pub, then on for pictures. Pub dependant on turnout...
(also gives us time, we haven't decided yet...
Cheers all

Do we want Portsmouth, New Forest, Dorset?

yeah thats cool with me, what place has ian got in mind

Do we want a Rolling Road day?

i'd like to know what my car is doing, shuchy would probably like to as well. how many cars do they need?

I'm thinking either 18/19th or 25/26th weekend

i think the sundays would be better as suchy does most of his weddings on saturdays

[Gortour]

what place has ian got in mind

Don't know yet...

Ideally, at least 10. More the better, as they may offer discounts if the quantities justify it.

If you want Rolling Road, this may not be possible on a Sunday.
Suchy, do you have a free Saturday anytime soon mate?

[hongkongfuey]

Suchy, do you have a free Saturday anytime soon mate?

i'll ask him , but let us know where locations are ie ian

[Gortour]

The Rolling Road I have in mind is in Hurn, which is near the airport in Christchurch.
This is about an hour from Portsmouth.

If you know another RR in the - I dunno - Romsey area? to be mid-ish between Dorset and Portsmouth, please let me know and I will contact them and see if they do Sundays.

[suchy]

yo evening gents, yeah no sats available til 29th Sept!! so you'll have to count me out oh well the price i pay for being so in demand, if a Sun meet comes up in the near future I'll always try to make those

[Gortour]

No worries Suchy.
Maybe we postpone a RR to then? And just have a 'normal' meet this month?

What do people want to do? Anyone other than Chris and Rob with an opinion, or shall I just go and arrange something?

[ivqii]

Gordon

The last RR suggestion for whatever reason didn't get a huge response - maybe it should take place as a special/one-off meet and we should have our monthly meet as normal ie justba drive a coupla drinks natter etc

Dorset's turn?

[suchy]

hey if u guys do another 'usual' and its on a sunday, count me in- sorry cant do sats. not expecting people to arrange things around one person so no worries either way. nothing wrong with a drive/natter/drink i think it kool

[Gortour]

Sundays seem cool with most anyway Chris, so don't worry, lots of people work Saturdays... even me on the rare occasions I can be bothered...

Richard, fair comment mate, was half considering a fairly early RR, then meet up with those, who didn't want to go to that too, at the Avon Causeway, or somewhere fairly near the RR place...
Seperate dedicated RR meet? OK with me mate.

Thanks very much for the ideas guys. Any more suggestions?

[hongkongfuey]

any closer to a decision yet?

Hi mate how about Sunday 19 Aug meet at Pickets post at 12 and then we can go for some photos at that pond you talked about and then on to the pub, we could go to the Cat and the Fiddle as its got a large car park but its only a suggestion.

[suchy]

Awwww love your sig!! good idea as long as we get a good fast drive in with no fjords or moats to drive through this time!! Does that mean i gotta get my camera out again if we stop at the pond? least there wont be 300 cars this time!!

[pauls-sport]

At least you won't need to climb to the top of the castle and it's a nice fast road to the Cat and the Fiddle mate.

[suchy]

as long as its a fast road & we can get Gordon et al to drive as equally fast then i'll be a happy hooligan!!

[pauls-sport]

You have the normal 40 mph in the forest and then the road to the pub is just how you wont it. Gordon will be fine mate.

[ivqii]

Not a bad idea Cookie - only prob that C&F is not a great pub

[hongkongfuey]

vvvvvrrrrroooooommmmmmmmmmm yeah

[adit]

count me in guys. any sort of meet is fine by me. something like the new forest meet a few weeks ago but without the monsoon/floods gor, if you could have a quick word with HIM upstairs, that would be great! (plus i can bring all cookies parts required and clear my kitchen table! ). looking forward to it already. ps any wannabe convoyers to gaydon? a27/m27/a34/m40,etc.

[Gortour]

Not a bad idea Cookie - only prob that C&F is not a great pub

Any other pubs you prefer then Richard?
Haven't been to the Cat & Fiddle for years, I must admit, so I'll take your word on that. Carpark, agreed, would have been perfect though.

Same pub as last time maybe? We can go the dry way, rather than through the deep water again...
Or we could go to the pub Mark took us to the time before?

Thanks for the responses guys and girls...

(Nice to see the sig pic now works Lisa, will have to update it for you with the new front end...)

Cheers all

[Gortour]

Any wannabe convoyers to Gaydon? a27/m27/a34/m40,etc.

I'll be heading up to Gaydon on Sunday, as are Lisa and Paul I believe, but they're going seperately a bit later.
I know Spook has been saying he wants to go, as has Jackie (Aretha), so maybe we can set up a convoy with them...
I'll send some texts / PMs this eve...

[spook]

gaydon, not this year mate, sorry

[Gortour]

OK Spook, no worries pal. I'm going anyway, so anyone wanting to convoy it, let me know.

[pauls-sport]

Hi mate Suchy asked for a fast road so how about another pub. I don't mind a bit of a drive, Going to get Lisa to bring her car so the others can look at the portfolio you did for her. Thanks once again mate.

Oi - Lisa doesnt need a new front end

Gord the pub is a Harvesters - nuff said - yup the carpark is big but also very crowded on Sundays

I'm easy though

[Gortour]

Yeah, heard you're easy... and, er, yeah, Lisa's front end looks great...

No worries Paul, maybe she doesn't bring the car once, and tells people why when she's there and takes the car and file next time... Dunno pal, up to her...

[pauls-sport]

How about Pickets post then the photo shots and a drive to Brockenhurst or Lymington and stop at a pub thats got a car park thats got the room for the amount of cars that turn up. We can meet at 12 at pickets on Sunday 19 Aug.

[Gortour]

works for me mate.
That's set then. I'll edit the first post.

12.00 at Pickets Post, Sunday 19 August.

I know I want to too, but I only have a 318 auto...
Does filler make it lighter and faster? (sorting the rust in the wing at the moment... )

[suchy]

c'mon, less of the excuses more lead in your right foot- just plant it and hold on- chase the imaginary burger in the distance....

[suchy]

and yes im sure filler is lighter than metal

[Gortour]

Mmmmm, Buuurrrrggggeeeeerrrrrr.....

[hongkongfuey]

hey gordon no disrespect to monsport but don't you think it's time to have a smaller sig ????????
