Hi guys, our local sports club is holding it's first ever car meet , midweek on Tuesday 21st August 6pm onwards. Informal, garden party style on the grass with cars spaced out with room to wander around. There will be an electic mix of classics old and new, competition and rally cars, and classic motorbikes. Free to enter and park up, cheap bar and hopefully a nice relaxed atmosphere with some great cars. Any PH'ers able to come along and display will be greatly appreciated!
Address is Holland Sports, Mill Lane, Oxted, Surrey RH8 9DG.

[fatboy18]

I too am away but can I enquire about access,
Any speed ramps to contend with?
Thanks.
May come to future meets

Sounds like a great idea and a good plan. I think I can attend

[Red Devil]

It's been a while, Lee. Looks like I have that evening free.
Whether my chariot fits into any of those categories is another matter...

Hiya! No speed ramps, just the road, a field and a pub 👍

Just done Google maps, er......Mill Lane has speed ramps! there is also a large plateau speed ramp at the entrance to the sports field! For us with lowered cars these are a complete pain in the arse.

Enjoy your meet

Shame im away for this one as it has been some time, there has been a "Surrey car meet" which started off well but unfortunately this has turned in to a show off your Ferrari i/Lamborghini event ! and lost the whole essence of what the meet was about !

Sorry, there are some regular usual 1-kerb high traffic calming ramps on the approach road, just like all you get on most side roads nowdays? I have seen Lamborghinis in the carpark here, and Caterhams etc. here , but if your car cannot negociate them them sorry. Not sure where you get the other ramp to the sports field, must have not seen that in the past 19 years coming here 😂👍

I'm pretty sure this is the 'plateau' he was referring to.

i.e. a 'table top' job rather than the more prevalent 'hump'.

Yes, that's the one.

So the original answer should have been YES then

[Furyblade_Lee]

Well, yes maybe, but I do not really regard those as a problem, I have driven my bike engined car round here with its 100mm ground clearance since 2004, never had a problem!!! But fair enough, its a fair cop! But any factory car, even a Lambo etc. will not have access problems if they can drive over regular traffic calming measures.

[NiceCupOfTea]

Might be up for this if an old Saab 900 turbo is of interest - is it ok to get there/leave later/earlier than others? If I have family with I might have to leave early...

[Furyblade_Lee]

900 Turbo, cool as !!

Looks like a good event, unfortunately I own a Ferrari so won’t be attending as it seems we are not welcome 😂

Personally speaking I wouldn't care if there were a dozen Ferrari's and Lambo's there. As long as my car can be a part of the festivities and not shunned then it's all good.

Says who? I don't see any evidence of that on this thread.
