I think the insurance point is valid if it is an organised event for profit and/or if there is some sort of participation entry charge.

An informal no charge "mates" event is not in the same category.

but it's a posted event every month on Pistonheads

and none of us are mates.

I think he needs to look at it just for peice of mind.

People can turn nasty if you crash into them, and then your screwed with no cover and a court action pending.

We're internet mates, it's better than being real mates as you don't have to go each other's weddings and crap like that smile

It isn't a monthly event, maybe quarterly. But that's irrelevant.

that's why I used ""

you are driving on a public road. If you crash, normal road rules apply. Your standard car insurance cover is not disabled just because you crash into someone you know or sort of know. Why should it be any different if you are driving with people you sort of know, as oppposed to people you don't know at all?

Also, no one is advocating driving at any particular speed or in any particular manner, so I really don't see that there is any additional risk that needs to insured against.

Insurance issue on London Meets is a red herring.

Has the run got insurance ?

when we did Lotus runs we had to have some and forms to fill out.

Sad but true.
Thank you for your post.

The London Meets are a very casual and social affair, it is not tied in, affiliated or part of any commercial interest and there is no set agenda. So there is nothing to insure.

No different to a group of friends meeting and going for a drive, which is the appeal to me. In fact as mentioned many of the attendees are friends and speak off-line toosmile

I have found a volunteer to be my wingmanthumbup, but if anyone would like/enjoys taking pictures then that would be great! (Usually Ms 98C4S or Nevyn take them but they may not attend this meet)

hi,

I'm planning on mounting a camcorder to my windscreen. Porsches in a convoy look awesome. I hope my extra battery arrives in time or it'll just be an hour of recording.

Cheers

Thanks, got it. Its going to be difficult for me as i'll be 200miles away, but have to head back to London at sometime, so assuming my hangover is in check i'll try and make it.
