So the dates I propose are Saturday 23 or Sunday 24 of September. I was thinking of a Portsmouth start (Me) across to Southampton (Cooper, Adyr etc..) then up to Winchester (Highwayman, Dingo etc..) then back down to the Lion for something to eat and a few photos, then a show of our appreciation to the south cost back roads . So what do you think, it could be the last few weeks of dry roads .

Unfortunately I'm off to the Dominican Republic on the 21st, so maybe next time. Regards to you all, hope the sun shines and the roads are camera and Bill clear!

I was just thinking that it might be better to do it on the Sunday as I've just started playing rugby again and match day is Saturday. Paul, maybe if your nerves are up to it Adyr could pick you up or myself . If you can't get off work until 1330 we could probably start at Winchester, drop down to Southampton then go to the Lion.

Anonymous Unregistered A	I could be persuaded to bring my newly sprayed and bumpered car along I suppose . May have to get clearance from 'er indoors, as the Coupe is not her favourite thing at the moment . It might be best for me to meet up with you guys locally and then let you blast off to the pub, as I may have little ones in tow to get my pass . Maybe we could meet up near Tescos again, although I could perhaps suggest somewhere that isn't quite as public . Halfords/Currys is about 100yds away, and their car park is a lot quieter.... Phil

Anonymous Unregistered A	I would be there for the next one, this is definatly my closest meet but i have a series of niggly problems with the coop (strange clocking noises, fuses that keep falling out of the fuse holder, a clicking noise when i turn the cockpit fan on) not to mention my slipping clutch. So i'd be mightily embarrised and fearfull of my car just plain conking out at the side of the M27. Do one on a sunday in Late october and i should be there.

Interested 007 (Chris) Markyboy (Mark) Cooper (Paul) kbs133 (Kev) Highwayman (Phil) Paul can you give Adyr a txt, I don't have his number. Anyone else think of someone and I'll send out a few P.M.s just incase they don't read this part of the forum? Edit Edit. Truffle it might be a good opportunity for someone to have a look at her and maybe diagnose some of the clocks and knocks. Last edited by 7; 15/09/2006 23:16.

Anonymous Unregistered A	As Cooper is limited by work, how about meeting somewhere near him at 1.30 and then go on to the Red Lion at Horndean? Not sure what time they finish serving lunch, but I'm sure that they'll still be serving drinks and we can make use of their car park . Phil

Seriously though if Paul is the only person who has other arrangements then I'm happy to start when you're ready. Sounds like a good start point Adyr.

I'm gonna ring the 'rents tomorrow and see if they would be so kind as to lend me some cash to get the car looked at before the meet. If they can then it'll just be a matter of how big a job the work is as to whether i'll be there in MY car or a Fiat Punto courtesy car

Anonymous Unregistered A	Right well just spoken to the 'rents and although i can borrow some money for the car it wont be for a couple of weeks so thats my plan scuppered. Barring any terminal problem i'll still come along but just be prepared to wince if you take a look under her or take a ride in her. (also can anyone bring axle stands and a trolley jack so that i really can get tha most out of some free technical advice while its available?) ((preferably BEFORE people start drinking in the pub ))

If you do arrange to meet at 1400, I seem to remember every meet I've been to tend to hang around a couple of hours before we set off. So 1300 would be perfect!!!! my work is 5 mins away from sainsburys Hedge End and 15 mins away from Winchester tesco. Paul
