Guernsey car enthusiasts coffee meet?

[engie500]

I agree stuart, interesting cars would cover it. Thinking ahead here, would a Facebook group be a good idea to advise members of times and meeting places. How about hotels for meeting places?

Forgot to add in view of the current Width and Emissions Taxes being proposed only Wide cars and cars with High CO2 to be allowed !

That's me out then...

Ah, the Land Rover would qualify... so I leave the Porsche at home and bring the Land Rover

Chris,

Your car amply qualifies!

It is possible to get exclusive use of the car park next to Vistas via the Environment Dept which I have done twice before for the Charity Sprints, so this might be the solution and would then make it the perfect venue. We could book it from perhaps 8.30am to 10,30am - just a thought !

I agree with your comments that if it rains the turnout won't be as good but that being said the Goodwood Breakfast Club is always oversubscribed even when it rains.

Perhaps we could meet up and discuss over a coffee ?

Next Sunday morning at 10:00 for coffee or similar, but then maybe explore Crabby J too? Bigger car park that is far less busy of a morning?

Regards

Paul

Whack some of these on the Porsche

According to the Enviro mental dept wing mirrors are not included in their measurements

[Stuart0620]

Isn't your Porsche 1801 mm, so would attract the width tax !?

I read in the GP that the measurement for tax does not include wing mirrors which I think the 1801mm width measurement for the BGTS does.

I think I might just add some of James's wing mirrors to irritate Ms YB anyway

Are we on for a coffee meet at 10:00 next Sunday, you, me James, Chris, whomever to kick things off?

I'd like to think that this could quickly become a large meeting of cars and people

Until my new toy arrives my car details as above

I normally run in a group from 9.30am until 10.30am on Sunday mornings but will get the motor out next Sunday instead !

I have a few ideas so I will post these separately

What's the new toy?? (Apologies if posted elsewhere!)

[Stuart0620]

A Caterham 620R

[James19181]

Lovely

[Shewie]

Nice.... Can't imagine how fast that'll be

Had a go in an R500 once on a wet road and I can safely say it's the most insane car I've ever been in. The last thing I thought it needed was another +50bhp!!

[Stuart0620]

Having taken one for a test drive at Caterham I can honestly say the only words that do it justice are unhinged and utterly bonkers !

Caterham quote 0-60mph in 2.7 seconds but I have seen a road test that timed it at 2.4 seconds which it does in first gear and in less than 30 metres......and to think a McLaren P1 takes 2.8 seconds !

They say patience is a virtue but a 10 month wait is a long time but I think it might just be worth it when it arrives !

By then there will be a restriction on how fast local cars can accomplish 0 - 60 mph because who needs a wide car, or a car with foul emission or a car with high speed capabilities...?

Colour restrictions will follow, bye bye racing yellow Porsche ...

Unfortunately I can't make this Sunday, I have other commitments... Free next week though. Maybe in the summer we could do evenings to mix it up.
