It'd be good to have you along Chris. You at the on on Wally road? I've dealt with Dave Hickey over the past few months as I was looking at new M3/4 options. In the end i found another C63. Message me if you need a parking space reserved for something interesting.

Eddie
Hi Eddie,

Thanks, it'll be nice to meet you all!

Ridgeway in Bournemouth? No, i used to work there but now at Partridge BMW in Chandler's Ford, been here about 6 months. There will probably be a couple of us coming down, but i'll PM you if I need a space.

Chris
Chris - I am bringing my 2015 Competition Pack M5 which is looked after by Partridge in Eastleigh. You didn't supply it but there is a lot of documented history as your service guys did a great job fixing some diff issues I had a few months ago. Not good at the time for a brand new car but all good now. Looking forward to seeing what you turn up with...

Right guys. I spoke to the management at the Inn today and all is good for Sunday. It will be open from 9 but you don't have to rush if you don't want to. The main dining area needs to be cleared by 11 so they can prep lunch but we are welcome to stay for longer in the comfy sofa area. Of course, if you want to come nearer 11 and then stay for lunch that works too.

It looks like there will be a good mix of cars attending. AMG's, Alpinas, //M's, Teslas and more. If anyone has anything particularly special they want to bring and is in need of a fixed space then please do let me know.

Hope to see and meet as many of you as possible there, and don't forget families are also welcome.

Parking is limited to the bit directly in front of the pub and the car park to the side which IIRC is very tight. Does it matter where we park??

Hi Tim,

has been a long time, i see you moved over to the dark side, hows it compare with the XFR?? A mate of mine has just bought the M5 over an XFR-s and i must admit it is a beast. hopefully he will keep it for a few years until its worth thruppence ha'penny and i can take it of of him.

You can also park on the road if needed. As this is meet number 1 i suspect we'll all fit in either of the two parking areas. If not there is space along the roadside as suggested. I'll be there early to assist.

The XFR was a real old school handful and I loved the supercharged engine.... The M5 is very different as it is a twin turbo but in my opinion way more fun. And it has a lot more power than the XFR. Depreciation is an issue but they will stop making cars like this eventually and I fully intend to drink as much as I can from the VPower tank until they do so...

Weather dependant, I may come down from High Wycombe for this, it looks like it may be a nice drive down going cross country.

OK for a mate to attend too? He's on Pistonheads, just not active these days.

I should be good to head down and sneak in with creepy silence in Tesla Model S and be shunned for lack of engine noise...
