Hi Guys,

just wanted to post a thankyou to everyone who came along today. it was awesome seeing so many amazing motors in one place - totally surpassed expectation. I was aiming for around 40 cars and i think we probably doubled that - an amazing aight.

Some lovely looking skylines there today - i've taken a fair few snaps of the day (including many skyline pics) so these will hopefully be on my website in the next week or so.

It was also great to meet some new people - good to put faces to the names....

The landlady of the pub was excellent. She was very happy to see us all there - and has taken alot of photo's herself with the view of getting an article done in their local paper. She said they've never seen anything like it (and they have many owners clubs having meets there).

She has asked that next time we meet on a saturday afternoon (with a months notice) and they will close the pub down to everyone except us...so we'll have the place to ourselves - so they're going out of their way for us. After the success of today i will be arranging another one for next spring (when the weather starts to pick up again).

None of you boys were involved in this, but the fly bys were a bit dodgy (esp. as it's a 40mph liimit residentual area). I personally wouldn't try and stop people doing it, but in all honesty, i hope we don't have that next time (it's a bit too dangerous really). Although the performance of some of the cars there was simply frightening !

All in all a fantastic meet - so thanks for coming along guys.

Hopefully i'll see you at the Grasshopper meet next week !

Cheers

Bolney meet

Bolney was a good venue for todays meet & after checking out the car park size Friday night with Gary (GT-ART) I knew that if the weather held out then all who came along would enjoy themselves.The landlord asked me how many cars would show?so I thought maybe 25 to 30 ,how wrong was I,there where at least 80 filling every available space!There would have been 81 but Glen didn`t show up!

Looking forward to next Saturdays meet at the Grasshopper.....

Bolney Meeting 11/11/01

Hi Everyone

We went along to the Bolney Stage - the locals were certainly woken up from any Sunday afternoon snoozes they had planned.

Great to see a good number of Skylines, noticed that ours was the only GTS though.

Thought the Go-Faster boys were pushing it a bit - like Daz said, it's a 40 limit. Just would have taken one person to pull out and ouch, doesn't bear thinking about.

Hope to meet you all again soon.

Alan - pics will be processed tomorrow (boots are gonna love me !)....hopefully they'll be on the site by the end of the week (depends if my scanner is being friendly or not !

Cheers

So when is the next one ?

 

[Daz]

I've had people from every single list ask me that question !! (obviously wasn't too bad for a first effort then )

I'm not planning on doing another one now until next spring - simply because if the weather is anything like last winter, it'll be too bleedin' 'orrible !

If people are interested in having one much sooner than that, then i will sort something out. The pub will need a months notice, and it'd be on a saturday - that way we'd have complete run of the place (as promised by the landlady).

I personally think it's better to wait though. let this one die down, let the weather start improving, and then gee everyone up for another meet (plus gives people time to get some new "bits" on their cars over winter - gives people something new to "show off" ).

Cheers
Daz

I agree completely guy. I distanced myself from it, but as organiser could be held responsible.

It was put forward to me that maybe next time i invite a representative from the local constabulary to be in attendance - just lurking in the area...not bothering people. This would be about the ultimate deterant (although i hope it will not turn people away from the event). That would hopefully be enough to stop people racing up and down - i honestly expected to hear an almighty smash...i'm just glad there wasn't one.

In my opinion it did spoil the meet a bit....although 99% of the people there were sensible enough not to get involved.

Regards,
Daz

pear shaped

Hi Guys,

it was just as well it didn't go pear shaped as the landlady had my name adress and phone number from when I rang her to ask if we could use their facilities....

I have a video clip from the day's lads going up and down, also Henry makes a brief appearance as he departs...

People may already have the file but E-Mail me if you want a look, the file is quite big though about 1 and a bit minutes...

Any pictures?

Can anyone send me a few pics from the meeting so I can stick them on the site for all to behold?

Cheers

 

[Daz]

Joss - i will have my pictures scanned and hopefully on my website by the end of the week. ALL of the skyline pictures will be scanned - so feel free to take what you want from my website.

SteveC - they've now got my contact details too. When they asked to see the "organiser", they took my details down so that they could get in touch regarding future meets (must admit, i don't mind her having my number at all.......)

Cheers
Daz
