After the success of the last meet - I have booked another one biggrin

I think we had about 35 cars at peak, including a beautiful Ferrari F40, a stunning Integrale and of course that handsome Clio V6 wink

....And a gold MGF (thanks Hoofy!)

The pub were impressed with the turnout (presumably their profits) and may even put a BBQ on this time, if the weather is good.

I don't think we'll bring Bella as it'll be too hot for her (if the weather stays like this) but Mrs9 and I shall be there with bells on, rain or shine.

So, same details as last time:

All cars are more than welcome to come to The Fairmile Pub in Cobham (close to A3/ M25) on Sunday 2nd July for a meet:

The pub will make teas and coffees available to us from 11am and people are obviously free to use the pub from 12pm opening.

Would be great to meet some fellow PHers and see a nice variety of cars.

There is loads of parking and we can use the green out the front for parking/ display.

There is also a Shell garage, opposite, so we can all fill up with the good stuff or use the Jet Wash.

Some details, photos and write-up of the last one can be found here:

Lets get a list going:

1. Mr & Mrs Dom9 - Renault Clio V6 Phase 1 (Illiad Blue)

Yup, I'll bring the orange one.
Tonker may come down as well and I'll get Noel to being the NSX.
Top man - Get some names on the list when Tonks et al confirm.

He's very busy monitoring our local house prices though biggrin

literally a day after goodwood for me, I'll try but can't promise. no ones going to laugh at my focus are they?
Absolutely not!! All are more than welcome, there's no 'showing off' or anything.

Just like-minded people having a pint and a nosey round each other's cars smile

Ok, we hid it in the car park but Mrs9 drove our 545i over with a smashed rear light and bumper last time out!

There was a gold MGF for goodness sake wink

If the weather is good, might be nice for a bigger squad to hang around for lunch as the pub may fire up the BBQ so we can have a burger and a wander!

Husbands, wives, children, dogs etc all welcome (though our dog will probably stay home this time as she's not brilliant in the heat, which is odd, considering she was born in Texas and pretty much lived outside).

Top man, Thomas.

Will be good to see our cars side-by-side!

Having said that; if you still have the Rallye then, might be nice to see that - will be a bit different!

My XSi still isn't finished (shock wink )!

Hello stranger!

I'm sure there will be enough FoS refugees and it's better than Goodwood, anyway wink

Nah, Hoofy - love the MGF! Just ribbing!

I would have to turn it into a mini from Speed 3 Automotive though!

All jokes aside... I may have had a sneaky look at the 160s! Need to finish the XSi project though and it's probably similar money to finish as buy a 160 frown

MG TF 160, maybe a Trophy!

For all the engine foibles, I'm used to swapping them out from my time with Lotus Motorsport!

Oh, blimey. Sun got to you?
Maybe... Never been interested in a cab before but you look at the prices of MGFs, Boxsters and Mk3 MR2s and it does make you think!

Anyway, anyway...

Who is coming to the meet on the 2nd?

Spread the word and let's have a turnout like last time biggrin

smile Don't do it in this weather. I am redder than normal.

PS Free bump. wink
My scalp is a little better protected biggrin

My little Pug project doesn't have AC... Does make you think in this weather!

Is everyone away? Take-up seems slower this time round...

Mrs9 doesn't let me have a buzz cut anymore frown

No sunroofs chez 9 - all that weight and loss of rigidity wink

It's why I've never had a cab... yet!

Where is everybody (as nice as it is bantering with you, Hoofy)?

PS I was in Epsom today - should have offered you lunch but was on the hop.

Fish and chip run sounds like a laugh.

Infact, I've been thinking about attempting to organise a drive out for charity...

I've been inspired by the "Drive for Cancer" event in the States, and having been affected myself, I thought it might be cool to do something similar - if not on a smaller scale. A morning blast to the coast and a small donation to a cancer charity, maybe?

Just thinking out loud smile
Could try and tie it in? Meet at the pub early, blast to the coast and back for coffee and lunch, hopefully avoiding most of the traffic?

Swerni, Tonks et al - you guys still up for it?

Weirdly the pub called me just after I posted last, checking it was still on and booking a couple more into the future smile

Would be good to get a healthy turnout so that they keep the day free for us in the future!

Good stuff - I put the word out round SELOC, 205 GTi Drivers and the Clio V6 forum too smile

We could combine the August one with a run out?

Ockham and out that way could be a good shout but I think Mrs9 has other plans, so I may have to perform dog duties before this meet...

Could maybe get a plan (and even do a reccy) pre-August meet?
