Meet down south

[petrolhead]

Is there anyone who'd be interested in a meet in Sussex? i'm not sure what we'd do, but if there's anyone interested, we could think of something. Brighton maybe?

[Danny]

There a few down that way Emma, c2ology once he's back from his trip in about 3 weeks, mikewoodsgt and others ;)

[petrolhead]

crotchrocket lives in West Sussex, doesn't he? cos i know there's always meets in the midlands and up north, but i can't afford the petrol that my car seems to guzzle like there's no tomorrow!

[Danny]

Thats fair enough, was a long journey for you to the camping, i'm sure there are a few others down that way too........

give it a few days to see whoelse may be interested ;)

[petrolhead]

camping was cool though, and i could justify it because it was over three days. if i went to the south yorks one, i wouldn't be able to justify the petrol or the mileage. i reckon a meet down here would be cool!

[crotchrocket]

Yep i'm in west sussex. Loads of good roads to carve up!!!!!!!

[crotchrocket]

How about meeting at the Devils Dyke??????

[petrolhead]

Devil's Dyke sounds cool!! not taken my baby there yet!

[vtsc2]

can u camp there if so put me down

Have no idea what the dyke thing is, but I would be up to a meet, Brighton's about 25mins from me :lol:

[Greg]

A proper dyke or some sort of ditch thing ;)

[petrolhead]

Nope, it's a proper dyke! Mike, how is Brighton 25 mins from Dorking? :lol: or is my geography rusty...? :oops:

[petrolhead]

can u camp there if so put me down

yeah, there should be somewhere to camp, shouldn't there?

[crotchrocket]

can u camp there if so put me down

Should only take 2 1/2 hours from hemmel

I don't live in Dorking, but that's as far as I tell internet people :wink: . No it is about 25, 35 mins max. Just checked multimap and I am correct *sticks out tongue*

Can't we do something interesting though, camping doesn't sound the most intriguing activity :x

[petrolhead]

:lol: :lol: :lol: that won't be all we're doing!!! we could rag the cars at Devil's Dyke, then go into Brighton or something. I'm all open for ideas.

ooh, is the devils dyke private or is it like a normal road? Can you tell I haven't been there before? LOL

[petrolhead]

No, it's not at all obvious! :lol:

it's a normal road, unfortunately, but it's never busy.

[vtsc2]

can u camp there if so put me down

Should only take 2 1/2 hours from hemmel done it in less than an hour once on a motorbike and hour and half in car those where the days b4 speed cameras

[petrolhead]

so - any ideas as to when this meet is gonna take place? i'm free pretty much any time as of about mid June.

someone needs to organise this! do u fancy it emma?

[petrolhead]

ok then, here's a suggestion. How about meeting up on Sunday July 9th at the Devil's Dyke pub at about 12.30pm? we could eat at the pub, then go for a drive and do something in Brighton itself. How does that sound?

If it was at start of July I could deffo make it :D

[petrolhead]

when's the start of july? something like the 2nd or 3rd? i can make weekdays too, if you lot can.

well we have the edinbrough meet the 15th of july aswell so the 2nd should be kool

[petrolhead]

are you coming then, Dan?

put me down as a maybe until times and dates are confirmed.

Yeah can you put me down as a maybe, it's hard to tell so far in advance :cry:

how will u get to it mate?

[petrolhead]

cool!! i didn't realize you were thinking about it! give me some dates and i'll try and see which one we can all make. i can't do the 2nd, but the 1st should be ok. any weekend is good, actually.

[petrolhead]

can u camp there if so put me down there's loads of campsites around brighton, and my garden's quite big so tents can be put up there too.

dont think ur mum would let u chic! lol

[petrolhead]

yeah she would! now i've met you in 'real life' she's cool with it. she's letting Phil come down!

oh cool! well count me in!

how will u get to it mate?

My mum's offered to take me in it, or otherwise I'll have to take the 'scenic' root avoiding motorways on my scooter LOL.

[petrolhead]

yay!!! ok, that's:

me (petrolhead)
Puma282
Shockwaves
Jaimz (if at start of July)
Crotchrocket
Mike-C2
vtsc2 (if camping)

list is looking good emma!

[petrolhead]

yup, it is! woohoo! i CAN organise stuff! (My dad thinks he's the only one in the family who ever organises stuff...)

How sad, I'm excited LOL.

ah, the responsibility of being the organiser!

PS - just paid to be a member :D

like father like daughter!

[petrolhead]

:lol: yeah, we are very alike. we're both stubborn, both soppy (we like rom-coms!), can both organise stuff and we both love the c2!

cool well lets get some dates confirmed and its only a month away (ish)

[crotchrocket]

Im doing an exhibition in London from 3rd to the 9th july

Weekend of 1st/2nd july sounds good. Probably get a better attendance on a Sunday from past performance though can never be sure.

Need a time and place to meet and something to keep us occupied :)

Jaimz 8)

[petrolhead]

ok, say 12pm outside the Brighton Pier? It's easy to find and we could go in convoy somewhere to eat and then take the cars to Devil's Dyke?

Sounds good Emma :D

I think I'm going to have to come on my moped :roll: , so I'll meet you all at the Pier and have a nice gossip so I can get to know you all and then I'll go home again... would be nice to put faces to names.

I think my parents will be away on holiday throughout most of July so I'll be home alone again so that's why I couldn't bring my C2.

Won't stopping/parking be a mission by the pier itself, I know last time I was in Brighton it was horrific trafficwise?!

This the Saturday or Sunday btw?!

Jaimz 8)

[c2ology]

Yep i be back in 2weeks so don't organise anything without me!

[petrolhead]

yeah, i guess stopping at the pier will be a mission - took half an hour to get about a quarter of a mile the other week! i reckon we should meet on the Saturday, cos that means people can camp at mine if they want.

[c2ology]

I'm never free at weekends.

[petrolhead]

ok then, let me know which dates you are free and we can work around them.

[c2ology]

Usually free sunday nights, mondays, tuesdays and thursdays.

[petrolhead]

anybody else ok with these days? i'd have to get the evening off work, but that should be ok.

Yeah sounds fine with me

[petrolhead]

ok then, how about Monday 10th July at 12pm? I'm not sure where we could meet, but if you can think of anywhere, let me know.

[petrolhead]

Come on you lot! lets get this meet organised!!

[mikewoodsc2gt]

i can come as its 10 mins drive from me, can only do sunday 16th, unless meet is in evening

[mikewoodsc2gt]

i can also meet during the week either monday tuesdays aswell

[spooky_fish]

can we have a set dayte then i will be able to see if i can make it

Make it a sunday

[samward]

Hey if its a sunday il prob be able to attend, not been to a meet for ages!!! Let me know what u guys decide!!!

Can I suggest some dates? it makes me feel important :P

9th/16th/23rd sound ok to anyone? Do you like my little subconscious hint there? :wink:

They're all sundays ^.

[petrolhead]

Yeah, i'm ok with all of those dates. it looks to me like the 16th is the best date for all of us. also, does anybody elose have a better plan than what i suggested above?

16th sounds good, but WHERE?

[petrolhead]

that's exactly what i just asked, Mike! :roll:

[mikewoodsc2gt]

sunday 16th july please

[c2ology]

Lets make it July 16th Sunday night? what location?

somewhere not in town thats fairly easy to reach.

Jaimz 8)

Somewhere a moped can go so not on a motorway service station :wink: please :D

[mikewoodsc2gt]

could meet at madera drive (brighton seafront) then move on to beacy head maybe have a bbq on the beach

[Jon]

have we got a date for this yet ???

[spooky_fish]

oow could be a prob that date for me...

[Jon]

August bank holiday for me :D

Hellllo can you lot read, the date's up there! ^ the 16th July.

[Jon]

im busy that day :(

[petrolhead]

yeah, mikewoodsc2gt's idea sounds good! i'm ok for any date, so you lot fight it out amongst yourselves. :lol:

[spooky_fish]

mike woods - will he show tho???

[petrolhead]

even if he doesn't show, we can still do what he's suggesting!

[mikewoodsc2gt]

mike woods - will he show tho???

will do if its the 16th as its a 10min drive from my house

[petrolhead]

ok, it sounds like 16th is best for everyone. shall we do what mike woods suggested? meet at around 12ish at Madeira Drive, go to Beachy Head and have a BBQ on the beach. obviously, it'd be difficult to get down to the beach from beachy head, unless we jumped, so i reckon we should go to Birling Gap, which is a 1 minute drive. i also know a seriously nice pub called the Tiger.

[c2ology]

I won't be around til after 5pm tho.

[mikewoodsc2gt]

all good, count me in

[petrolhead]

ok, i guess we can make it an all-day meet then. cool - so 12pm Madeira Drive it is then?

[petrolhead]

i got a flyer in the post today, about the Eastbourne Motor Show. it's on the 15th and 16th of july. i reckon we should incorporate it into the meet! we could meet in brighton, drive to the Tiger on the south downs and then go to the motor show! i went last year, and it was great!

[petrolhead]

ok, we've not got long for this - who's definitely coming on the 16th July?

[c2ology]

Come on Emma get this meet sorted u running out of time!

What's this motor show all about? ie what happens there and how much is it?

And Emma you know that you're such a star? Well you are. You could always take me to the show if it goes ahead? :P

pleeeeeeease

only if it goes ahead though

[c2ology]

Emma where are you get this sorted!

I think she mentioned that she's in the New forest for her Father's birthday.

Don't know when she'll get back.
Does anyone know where she lives? there should be a nice C2 sitting out on the drive all lonely :P :P :P

Love ya really Emma

[c2ology]

She lives in Hastings Mike.

[petrolhead]

oi! thanks, Jin! luckily, my car IS in tact, but you'd have been the first one i'd have killed had it not! :wink:

the car show is basically an opportunity to see loads of cars from loads of manufacturers in one place. i went last year and it was great! James May from Top Gear was there, and i got his autograph!

would love to make it but working emma!

how much is it?

[petrolhead]

the motor show is £3 for adults, with accompanied children going in for free.

And the show's on the same day as the meet? what time does it open/close?

Think I might be going to it even if you lot don't go, meeting a random man over the internet there! :?

[Roadster_boy]

Hi,
I'm new to this and am willing to meet up at the Eastbourne Motorshow just let us know the time. :D

Emma, I'm going to meet everyone at the show instead, obviously I can't convoy down with all you lot with my mode of transportation :P

I'm a deffo for this one now, can't wait. :D

[petrolhead]

Hi,
I'm new to this and am willing to meet up at the Eastbourne Motorshow just let us know the time. :D

hey, nice car Roadster_boy!!! yeah, ok, shall we just meet up at the show instead? it'd save me a pointless 25 mile trip, so lets meet at the show at about 2ish?

[Roadster_boy]

that sound fine may be there before that, so meet you there.

Ok peeps it's looking like I'm going to be there from about ~11 onwards.

If you're coming catch me on MSN and I'll give you my mobile number so if you arrive early/late or whatever then we could meet up.

Will be good to finally put faces to names.


and I want Jame's autograph on my PDA!!! :D

[c2ology]

my car could be featured at the motor show.

[Roadster_boy]

Blimey thats cool if it is :D

[petrolhead]

coooool!! i'm coming anyway, so i'm looking forward to seeing it! will it be on the Wilmoths stand?

[c2ology]

I'm not sure i'm trying to find some information from someone. You know the website for it or contact?

[petrolhead]

i did look, but it doesn't look like there is a website for the motor show, unfortunately.

I got a very nice man to get the event times for it:

[c2ology]

No worries EMMA i've been in contact with the organiser this morning.

Don't think Mike Woods will come now he has just sold his C2 for £10,000.

[petrolhead]

£10,000? how did he manage that?! did he fit a rocket launcher to it?

[c2ology]

He part exchanged!

[Danny]

No worries EMMA i've been in contact with the organiser this morning.

Don't think Mike Woods will come now he has just sold his C2 for £10,000.

[mikewoodsc2gt]

[Danny]

escort cosworth, dont worry still have the c2 for the southern meet

Good luck with the new motor Mike ;)

[c2ology]

Wicked Mike!

[petrolhead]

i think it would be best if we all met at the motor show, then afterwards maybe go to the Tiger (a really good pub) for a drink, then see what happens from there.

what do you lot reckon?

[c2ology]

i reckon we should go for a drink at the beachy head pub at 6.30!

My car is not gonna be featured in this year's motorshow, but they did say i can set a stand up for the 2007 show.

[petrolhead]

what?! why not? was it wilmoths? they're b*stards!

yeah, ok, the beachy head pub at 6.30 suits me.

[c2ology]

Emma can u make a list of people's name that is coming?

[petrolhead]

there's a poll. it says 6 people i think.

me (petrol)
jin (c2ology)
mike (mike_c2)
mike (mikewoodsc2gt)
roadster_boy
craig (craigc2)

we're the only confirmed people, i think.

I can confirm that I'm going to the motorshow but I won't be doing anything with you lot afterwards :P sorry.

[c2ology]

Come on peeps lets make an effort and come to this meet! As we always come up midlands to see you lot.

[petrolhead]

yeah, i agree!!

Having to drop this one I'm afraid, sorry to let you all down.

Sorry Emma, was looking forward to meeting you.

[Roadster_boy]

No worries Mike, if I get close enough I'll try and get a signature off JM for you :D , shame you could'nt make it but understand.

[petrolhead]

hey, Roadster_boy, i take it that by 'sunshine coast' you mean eastbourne, yeah?

are you still coming to the motor show?

[c2ology]

so how is the organisation going on emma?

[petrolhead]

i don't know :oops:

it's all been a bit confused. i think we should meet up maybe outside the cineworld cinema in brighton, just as somewhere to meet, and then go for a drink or something to eat at the Tiger (do you know it? it's in East Dean) and then on to the motor show to meet Roadster_Boy (if you're still going? and unless you want to meet us in Brighton, of course! :lol:)

let me know what you think.

[Roadster_boy]

Yes Eastbourne is where I'm from, I will be at the motorshow and may meet you at the Tiger pub if I know what time.

[petrolhead]

ok, that sounds cool! i'm good to meet up any time, so whoever is coming, tell me the best time for you and we'll work around that.

[c2ology]

I will meet up with you lot after work on that Sunday finish at half 4. Beach Head Pub at 6 if you lot want!

PM me for contact number!

[petrolhead]

ok yeah, the beachy head pub would be easier for others to find. lets go for that.

[c2ology]

Come on peeps lets make a list of people coming!

[petrolhead]

OK, here's the final plan everyone.

We meet up outside Cineworld Brighton at 12pm.
We go in convoy to the Eastbourne Motor Show.
We spend some time in the Motor Show.
We go in convoy to the Beachy Head pub at 6.

[petrolhead]

well have you ever sat in either a Roady or a Fourtwo ?

[Roadster_boy]

Well you are more than welcome to find out for yourself in my Roadster.

[petrolhead]
