Surrey/Hants meet?

[zym]

Following on from MikeGF's post in the "How Rare Are Monaros?" thread, it seems there's quite a few of us in the area and it would be good to meet fellow owners, as we never seem to see each other on the road!
I trundle around the Godalming/Guildford/Woking area myself, but I don't know anywhere decent to use as a meeting place - I've never been to the Guildford Cruise/Burger King Car Park and I don't intend to start now!!!
So, who's up for it? If anyone is interested then reply below... and suggest a good meeting spot! I guess it'll be some time in the new year by the time anything is organised, but let's start the ball rolling anyway...

cheers,
Olly

Hi Zym

I'd be up for that.

Location wise, there are a few pubs around the area with large car parks, I will have a think..

Looking forward to it in the new year, would be good to meet the local Monaro's we never see

Cheers
MikeGF

Yeah sure - it'll give me an excuse to use the bloody thing!

We've (southerners) have usually met down here (Churchillian) but I don't think it's happened in quite a while.

The Phoenix in Hartley Wintney has a fair few car clubs meet there, so they obviously don't mind a louder-than-average car park of an evening. It's pretty well located for anyone in the Fleet/ Camberley/ Basingstoke area but it's about a half hour's drive for anyone in Guildford. I also can't say that I've been in there to gauge the quality of the merchandise.

The Shepherd and Flock in Farnham is pretty easy to get to and should be pretty much in the middle of everyone. As far as I can remember their car park is pretty reasonably sized and the beer's quite good, but I haven't been there for a good year or so.

I would more than be up for a meet at any rate, as I've yet to hear a Monaro with the Wortec pipes fitted and I don't want to splash out until I've heard how loud they are (living in a small cul de sac has its disadvantages).

If you dont mind id like to tag along in my Vec and see what ill be buying in the new year, if you leave it late enough i might have bought one by then LOL.

[MikeGF]

I organised a TVR meet at the Pheonix when I had my first TVR, landlady was more than helpful beforehand, looked after us well and couldnt of made us feel more welcome, was about 30 TVR's in total. Best to get there sooner in the day though, so we can get all the car park spaces out the front , rather than the gravel place out the back! Food and beer was good.

U never know, someone may take you out and scare you and give you a flavour for what a Ro is like, if your un lucky enough it may even be a S/C one...

I'm up for that in the new year.

Especially if it's in Hartley Wintney since that is only 15 minutes away!

LOL sounds good to me! Im off to Sewards in Bournemouth during the hols for a drive but itll be with the dealer so i prob not able to push it to much. My mate Here said hed take me out in Jan for a play, he bought V8 VUE that was for sale on pistonheads clasified.

[sarthek]

I bought mine from Seward in Bournemouth and they didn't seem to mind when I gave it some beans heading back to the dealership after the test drive.

[S600VXR]

I gave mine a little bit when I first drove it from Greens and sh*t myself, salesamn Dan didnt mind one bit... mind you he did own up to laying two sets of black lines that mornings when he went to get fuel so he couldnt exactly moan at me!

[Fluffsri]

All sounds good, im looking forward to the drive. I told my mate im off for a drive and asked"what if you hate it" "tough! ill cope" Im been dreaming for a long time and its about time it came true

[crisisjez]

I`m in for a local meet.

[zym]

Cool, so it looks like the Phoenix is a candidate then. Does anyone have the postcode/details for where it is?
I don't think driving a reasonable distance is going to be too much of a hardship
How would everyone be for doing this on a weekend in mid-January? e.g. 12th/13th?

[sarthek]

I'd prefer a Saturday to a Sunday, but the 12th sounds pretty good.

If it's the Phoenix we're going for they have directions on their website ( http://www.phoenixinn.co.uk/ ). If you go to the "Location" page on the site they have a Google Maps link. The postcode is RG27 8RT and it's pretty easy to spot as you drive down the A30 through Hartley Wintney.

[Fluffsri]

Hartley witney sounds good to me and i think i can make that weekend. will know more nearer the time. Ill tell my mate at work about it and he can bring his monaro, ill still be in the vec i reckon.

Hi there,


New to this forum, having recently aquired myself a Black VXR8.

Just wondered if there was any more progress regarding the poss meet at Hartley Wintney, as this is about a 5 minute drive from my house.

Would def be there if it goes ahead.
