Hi guys,

Just moved into a flat in Wapping, Prospect Place on Wapping Wall. Have seen a few lambo's about and have seen from this forum that there's some regular drinking that goes on locally. I run Lotus Esprit World and will have my Esprit in Wapping on a few occassions, if not an Elise. Can someone give me a idea of what goes on, just in case I want to join in! ;-)

Also what about tunnel access? wink, wink!

Welcome!

There are a whole host of interesting cars round here. I live in Towerside and have a red elise - I'd love to see the esprit lick. The infamous Wapping drinks still takes place from time to time, but most Sundays you'll find some or all of us either at the Prospect or the Kidd.

See you soon no doubt.

I'm just 2 minutes from the Blackwall tunnel over on the 'nice' side of the river

(How to win friends and influence people! )

Where are said establishments and can I park there?! I'm ALWAYS up for meeting up

parkings free on the streets of Wapping Saturday and Sunday. Normally quite a few spaces about, so wouldn't worry too much!

Wow weird, I have never been on this London section and I live down the road in Limehouse, Narrow Street. I am often in The Prospect or Kidd on Sundays (also the Grapes is good on Narrow Street).

I like "alternative" cars and am picking up a DeLorean DMC12 next week.

Me and Irish both live on Narrow St and run 911s. We should have a beer in the Grapes.

Did one of you use to/still park behind the St. Swithins building in the city.

It was a 3.4 996 with a personalised number plate. It has a pistonheads skull and cross bones on the license plate.
