Hi,

I'm new to this forum so please excuse any etiquette fails...

I recently got a 2016 CLS 63 Shooting Brake and was looking to do some meets and cruises. Just not as satisfying driving around alone. Can't seem to find anything online, seems like most people have their groups/clubs sorted already.

Is there a website for this sort of thing, or does anyone know who to contact please?

Alternatively, I'm happy to set up a new meet in London if there isn't anything coming up in the near future. Just a bit nervous to do so as a newbie!

Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris, welcome to the forums mate. There is a monthly meet on at the Ace Cafe: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

If you have a look at the London/Essex subforum there are meets/drives sometimes. I know there is also a monthly Essex car meet http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

The London forum is quite quiet ironically but always worth having a look. There is also the Chelsea Car Club who hold regular meets. I'm always up for a drive so if you're ever bored and know a good route, feel free to give me a shout! biggrin

Thanks - didn't realise there was so much going on right under my nose!

Looks like I've missed all the potential meets this month but will definitely be attending some of them in March. Look forward to seeing you both there!

Thanks again both for the quick response and useful information.

If the London low emission zones get implemented and extended outwards ,might as well forget

any meet in town.

Don't know how far the Greenies want to cover but would the Ace survive if it ends up in an emission zone ?

I know the first area to be covered is exact same as the congestion zone but won't take long for

mayor Khan to increase it.

I'm part of a car club in London always welcome for new members. We do some regular meets/get togethers with drives as well as more substantial road trips. PM for details.

Hi Chris, good choice for the CLS63. I'm heading out to a "Supercars, Drive out Convoy " this Sunday with a club called The Gentlemen's jolly, don't know if you heard of them, they are a reputable Rally club and they're doing this monthly thing called "Meet X Drive". If you want to join me? PM me for details.

Hi Jaco,

Just tried to PM you but it says your profile is not open to emails or something like that. Would you mind PMing me please? I can then respond.

Cheers

Nearly all of my car things are through facebook these days.

Tonight there was a meet at the diner on the A12.

On Sunday there is the Sunday Service at Silverstone. Normally a good morning out.

Any FB pages you could recommend?

I have an SL55 and also interested in getting involved with like minded petrolheads.

The Essex meet I mentioned further up the thread is on this Saturday. If you can make it one of the guys there will be able to connect with you and get you linked into the FB page used to organise it and other meets thumbup
