Shirley/Solihull coffee meeting and run out
Discussion
Well i'm still interested, and I like the suggestion of the new Costa (esp as it a 2 min drive for me!).
No goes for me are 12th or 25th October still, personally would prefer an earlier start so that I can get back to the family (don't most car meets happen around 9am?!) Stick a date and time up and i'll do my best to attend. My view is that if people want to attend, they won't have skinfull the night before, it's also an excuse for an overpriced bacon roll and some coffee from Costa

As promised I have altered the chart and have changed the dates to 18th or 19th OCTOBER.
We have had response from one of the two people that the weekend of 11/12th was not suitable and from what I see no one has come forward that the new date is not suitable.
It has been mentioned also to bring the time forward to 9.am,so again I have added two times and go on the majority verdict with a closing date of the 1ST OCTOBER.(This closing date is when the event is to be held,others may join after the date is set).
A suggestion of COSTA has been given and backed for the location meeting point so if we all agree on this then Costa it is.
For those that already confirmed on the old list can you please confirm again.
If your not sure how to fill in the box please just add your details and state your preferences in writing and I will put the information in.
Looking forward to seeing some of Shirley/Solihull's finest cars or maybe it's just your pleasure.
Kind regards Jas

Hey Jas
Good working getting this going, looks like there is a handful interested which TBH is good enough for us to meet, chat & drink coffee. Hopefully going forward once a few of us have met which can do it more informally and with less planning.
Hopefully we'll get a few others join, I think it really depends how many dip in to the forums and spot this thread - there's definitely enough of us about.

Thx for the acknowledgment and congratulations for filling the chart in with success
Plenty of time for more to join,but so far it looks like we have enough interest for the go ahead.
There could be many locals that don't even know this "Midlands Exciting cars" thread exists,I was a member maybe 7-8 months till I stumbled on it,and also a local TVR member gmw9666 who now posts was not aware of it.
I think if it stays on the small side then this benefits us when going out for a drive,20-30 assorted cars would be pretty difficult to keep together(Big is not always best)
PS
Is this Costa drive through that's been nominated at Friars Gate? And if so can anyone confirm it's open. I did a google search and all I'm getting is planning applications talk,but can see a picture with tables outside so presume it has opened.

Cheers, it was only slightly confusing to fill in. PH needs some HTML friendly editing tools. Took me 3 goes to get right ... congratulations for filling the chart in with success

That's the one - it's definitely open - I drove passed it yesterday and cars were going in. Haven't driven in, but car park looks reasonable size from the road. 9am should be quiet as well. I'll call in during the next couple of days to scope it out (& check opening times!) | No | NAME | CAR | SAT 18th | Sunday 19th | 9AM | 11AM |
