pm!

 

[Wests Renault]

well it takes roughly 2 hours to get there so I can meet you at brampton hut at 5:30 dan and meet kingy at sandy roundabout for approx 6:00. Then will be down at south mimms around 6:30 to meet anyone else. Then head on over to southend.

Where we meeting danny?

 

[MK3 Dan]

Well there we go that easy!

Not sure if anyone is meeting at South Mimms yet, guess will have to see.

Danny's not 100% if he is coming yet, if he is he will be in my car so will have to go and get him. He is, I think, about half way between brampton hut and sandy, so i guess if he comes along that I meet you 10-15mins early to allow for the slight detour to get him. If you want to look for yourself his postcode is MK44 3DB.

 

[K1NGY]

Oh rite, so what time we heading back? roughly ofc

 

[MK3 Dan]

Heading back will be your choice, Tom will be taking a different route back and I may do depending on who is with me.

So basically you make your own way back, this means you can stay for an hour or three its up to you and ur not locked into anyone else's times!

 

[K1NGY]

Ah just wanted to know because its my first meet

 

[MK3 Dan]

Hopefully you have picked a good one, as long as the weather is good!

You will be fine from what I have seen there are a few people there for the first time.

Any questions just ask, but going from local meets, I normal find them a nice chilled affair.

I will forward you my mobile number in a few days time in case of any problems.

Will you just be meet at the petrol station or will you be filling up ?

 

[MK3 Dan]

Not sure on Tom but I am planning on filling up before I leave so will just be meeting you.

 

[K1NGY]

[Wests Renault]

[MK3 Dan]

K1NGY, does not matter what your car looks like, we have all had cars at various stages of how we want them!

brad1002 I will pm you my number, roundabout sounds good unless other people want to meet at Mimms

 

[Wests Renault]

+1

my dci has been in the 'in between' stages for ages and was never happy with it but its finally got there!

 

[K1NGY]

Just a question but will there be a EA meet after the southend meet ?

 

[Wests Renault]

I should think so, I'm sure Beij will be along to organise one soon

 

[Wests Renault]

[Liquid yellow 182]

I'd have come if it wasn't a Saturday as I'm working Have to get a big EA meet after for Pboro/norwich/ipswitch/diss etc peeps

 

[MK3 Dan]

Ok mate I'll text you nearer the time

 

[Brian]

In the interests of dedication = reward, I'll supply a clio related prize to the person that has travelled the furthest to attend this.
How it will work: If you think you're a contender for this, pm me with your postcode and i'll do a route planner thing to see how far away you are. Don't think you can come up with a random far away postcode though, as i'll be checking!

 

[Wests Renault]

well dan is already travelling further than me, so thats me out!!

 

[MK3 Dan]

Looking at the distance's travelled by others in the 'official' meet thread I am out as well!

 

[K1NGY]

Why is this meet so late btw?

 

[Wests Renault]

Why is this meet so late btw?

better atmosphere at this time of night at southend - plus all the old punters are out the way etc

 

[Brian]

Exactly this, we'll upset the day time old folk otherwise

 

[MK3 Dan]

And you get all day to clean your car :rasp:

 

[Wests Renault]

And you get all day to clean your car :rasp:

For it to get dirty again 5 mins down the road :rasp:

 

[MK3 Dan]

Haha well at least it will look good for those first 5mins!

I am hoping it stays as dry/clean as possible as my car looks crap when its dirty!

 

[Wests Renault]

Well according to this it doesn't look good!!

http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/uk/ee/southend-on-sea_forecast_weather.html

Defo rain jacket and umbrella in the boot!

 

[MK3 Dan]

Just to confirm then, the plan:

I meet Tom at 5:30 at Brampton Hut.

We meet K1NGY (Tom) at around 6 at Sandy Roundabout

We meet brad1002 (Brad) at around 6:30 at Stevenage.

Then straight on to South end.

No one has said they want to meet at south mimms so will give that a miss unless anyone says different?

Hope this fits to everyone's plans. Let me know Tom as you seem better on times than me!

Looking forward to this, lets pray after Tom's post above that there is no rain

 

[Wests Renault]

sounds good to me
