Bacon butties on tap, that's my kind of car meet thumbup

Really good idea of the catering van though, and nice big empty car park (will you be doing donuts Paul?? wink)

See you Sunday at the Crown Pier, and good work - thanks to you and Stuart for organising it all
Bacon butties AND donuts? Does the missus not feed you wink

Ah! Donuts! I shall leave the donuts to the younger brethren (preferably late at night, when I am not there).

FB Group now on-line too! Search Guernsey PistonHeads and request membership please smile

Look forward to it Paul, a meeting I can finally make. Who owns the M3 CSL? Just love this car !
Hopefully it will turn up so we can enquire!

Pity we're moving house... the GT4 would make for a great track car! Would have ordered the GT4 instead of the BGTS had I known, but then I suppose it is a bit like pulling Angeline Jolie one night and complaning you missed out on Gwyneth Paltrow (you get the drift, replace with names as you see fit, LOL).

March 8th meeting:

Crown Pier wasn't everyones favourite. Lee and Stuart's cunning plan is to park angled/nose in to the kerb starting at the Half Moon heading towards the bathing pools. Out of weather and hoping the cars will be better presented. April will defo be Salerie corner.

09:00 - 11:00

driving

April 12 Meeting:

Well, for the March 8th meeting we exceeded 50 cars so all good!

We hope that moving to Salerie Corner for the April 12 meeting will mean more cars and people as the area will be one big contiguous space where everyone can mingle and chat, see all the cars more easily, and with refreshments available smile

Hope to see many more cars, and people!

Regards

Paul

Haha, I just came on here to post much the same! Wondering if there was anyone mooching on here who might not be on FB
Does seem FB as a comms tool works well. That said, this main site seems more 'findable'. I failed to inspect your new wheels last week. My bad! Will remedy that at the next meet smile

Yeh I thought I did well parking right outside the half moon, but wasn't expecting the line of cars to be so long! Gives me time to break out the Meguiars #16 before you see it smile
Yes, I could google it but WTH is (politer than WTF is) Meguiars #16?

Good Morning Paul, Stuart and et al, I have just seen the GEP article and joined up on Piston Heads to fleet up!
My trusty AM V12 Vantage has been in hibernation through most of the winter but I will drag it out to play again soon!
Cheers, Steve M.
It good to see you Steve! You seemed to be able to park ok in the four width car parking space with that dodgy eye of yours smile

I hope you found the meeting fun and will come to the next one on the 10th May.

SOOOOOOOOO!!!

About 85 cars turned up on Sunday morning. A warm, sunny but slightly chilly morning. However everyone seemed in good spirits and seemed to mix well, with Ferrari owners showing off their engine bays, Tom Fallaize his hedgehog killing carbon splitter, numerous rear spoilers of varying heights (and ability to act as a tray for a bacon sandwich and cup of tea), stainless rims, lovely polished panels, and varying exhaust and engine sounds as people came and went.

And what a nice bunch of people. All like minded, and with a common interest.

Cars ranged from an original Fiat 500 to a Ferrari 458 Speciale. No Lotus or Maserati though? No Lambo, though it was confidently rumoured a Huracan is likely to show itself sometime soon.

Splendid! Though I am sure there are a lot more cars out there that would help spice things up even more!!

To May 10th!

I was there, but I hid my disgraceful Mazda 3MPS near the entrance. Was nice to see so many people and meet some local pher's.
Give it a polish and park nearer next time biggrin

Pleased you enjoyed it.

Hopefully each week the numbers will build.

Sorry you got no reply. It is always the second Sunday of each month. That said the last couple of meets have resulted in very few attendees. It might be worth you joining the FB Guernsey Pistonheads site as we use that for updates on meetings and events.
