I know an awful lot of you already, so the many people that have messaged me are already on "The List" for this...Factually we have an event which I know from the past can attract 250+ cars easily each month consistently through the summer, but until we find a suitable venue to handle our numbers, I'm limitting numbers somewhat to handle things. It is first come, first serve.

If you CANNOT make it, you MUST message me to inform me.

Location: Warlingham
Date: 28th April
Time: 6pm

Our current list includes ALOT of the regulars inc everything from a Granada to Huracan.

Just a few wee hours to go...Last call! Message me if you want to come along.

We have everything from a Granada to a Lime Green Huracan, from a Dodge Viper to a restored Datsun 240Z coming down. Should be fun!

Thanks to all that came to the recent meet - Apologies for the delay in coming back to some of you, just been straight back into work.

For an invite only event we had a fantastic mix - To have within a small cluster, an Aston Martin DB3, Jaguar XK120, a gorgeous classic 911, 2 Tesla's, a Datsun 240Z & a lime green Lamborghini Huracan was quite special & all within a few metres of each other. Varied as can be.

The next one WILL be invite only again (I just like that I don't have to man the gate so I can chat!) - Numbers circa 120 cars...As epic as the 200-250+ car meets are, I enjoy the smaller turnouts more as I get to chat to everyone!

In summary - The new venue love us, we all seemed to love the venue & it's food, so the next date will be going live shortly. Again, it is Invite Only - If you want to come along, please message me, the whole purpose of me handling the invites is to manage numbers so we don't overflow the venue.

I miss the bigger Grasshopper meets, as opposed to this new style. It's gone a bit too "Secret Squirrel" for my liking.

Both my cars aren't really massively special, a classic Mini Cooper and my daily Impreza GX Sport. But, I did like to wander about with a pint and check out some really nice machinery parked up, of which there was a huge variety. I can't be the only one who thinks this.

Having to message to find the location sounds like we're organizing an illegal rave haha.
Exactly this ^^ it really is a shame, grasshopper meets we're huge but was nothing better than after a hard days work going down there an having a wander around some great machines with a pint smile , like your self my motors are not overly special but that was the joy of the grasshopper meets where as now it certainly feels like this is going down "the select few" route.
Nothings changed but it HAS to be managed & unfortunately I also run a business so I'm spread very thin as it is...What you both may not realise this event spreads big time...It goes from forum to forum, word of mouth, people copy & paste the details & yours truly is the one responsible & accountable to not only the venue, the police, local residents as well as those attending...As I say, it HAS to be managed as 1 numpty can ruin it for everyone.

You'll both be at the next if you want to be, I can make sure of that...What you'll realise on arrival is that we're not going elitist, but I've locked the event down so numbers can actually fit the venue that's hosting it & importantly I keep out the people who don't know the style of our event & feel silly behaviour is part & parcel of a car meet. Factually the last event was as eclectic as could be, just ask anyone that was there, I'd argue it was one of the best to date yes
