I was in Cheddar today in my Vixen. A few classic cars running carefully up the gorge but there were more motorcycles, a few with idiots on board.

I'd be up for the 19th.

After reading this thread I'm interested in this.
I drive through the gorge all the time, and am sick of the corsa/saxo kids who leave the road covered in skid marks (and in the middle of the road right where other drivers need to be).
They gather at night and just make loads of noise and leave litter.
Now I've read this thread it sounds like a good event and it would be nice to meet other local members.

The only issue is whether I'll get time to actually get my car clean enough for a meet smile

I go to meets with other clubs and they often happen at museums or event places or shows like Ford Fair.
What does everyone do once you've all met up in the gorge?

It's looking like it will be both of us in Ian's car as the parts for the 33 are not being shipped from Japan until mid week next week, so unlikely that they will arrive in time....

Let's hope the weather stays fair....

I think a few of us will be meeting at Exeter, so a stop at Taunton should be doable too like previous years...

EdRV8 is staying at mine (Shaftesbury) so we can both convoy to Cheddar together, so if anyone wants to join us, feel free.

Just in case it was missed, can I just ask again what you all do once you have met up?

Haven't been for a few years and now have a mini PH (1 yo) to introduce to the fantastic world that is beautiful cars, seems as good a time as ever.

What time is the Ext services group meeting up and what time are you expecting to pull out?

The attendance list can be found here if you want to sign up. Even if you're not signed up you're very much welcome to turn up...it's a public road/car park tank


Sunday is shaping up to be a great day weather wise so hopefully this meet will be well attended. I did plan to advertise this Cheddar meet at Queen Sq on Sunday with some flyers but didn't have time to get anything produced. I'm sure a few of the Queen Sq group will be attending this one.


I have been monitoring some of the other forums and so far there are no mentions of this meet which is great news as you only have to google "Pistonheads Cheddar meet" to see how widely advertised the previous meets were.


Hopefully we get a few more people signing up this week....

Just seen this!

Hoping to come from across the bridge. I'm going to start a thread in South Wales and see if anyone wants to meet at Magor Jnc 23a services?


ETA: Here's some photos from the 2010 meet https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.38113863... I wasn't old enough to drive then but now have my own GTA to attend in! biggrinbiggrin
