Southern HSVs

[308mate]

As a new person to the forum and being very excited about seeing Holdens/HSVs/Munros on UK soil, what are the chances of the Southern owners meeting up? Purely for my own benefit.
Just kidding, but seriously, there seem to be a few down this way. Do you meet informally? A Sunday lunch at the Mayfly nr Andover...or something?

Nice one cheers. I may accompany on a bike if the weather permits as I am sans HSV. My interest lies in a ute if I find a way of getting one as a company car. Dont like my chances. Who has the Maloo down this way?

[raggyman]

Not sure actually.. I work in andover and live in portsmouth, but apparently there is a yet undentified ute running around up in Andover.

Anyhow, up in Andover every day.. so am around.. think the Mayfly might be a go one weekend soon, as it is a nice pub by the water, just have to remember to bring my fishing rod.

Well throw it up on here if you do, Ill be there for a gander and chin-wag.

Hi 308mate, nice to see another HSV nut on the forum. Would be nice to chat with you if you come on the cruise as I see you owned a 5.0Lt VS. Im running a 5.0Lt VT clubbie, it would be great to compare notes on the old iron block as they are like hens teeth over here and I have yet to meet anyone else who has owned one. Welcome on board

Hey 308 check out autotrader there are a few utes for sale on there now. Reasonable price considering. Most LS1 6 speeds.

[308mate]

Gday guys,

Yeah cheers Ringram, Ill have a look at that. A little way of getting one just yet but I know man who might not be. Ill dig my genuine HSV Monaro Boxer shorts out if I make it to the cruise!!

5 weeks mate

Got the get together first mate, Sun 13th Nov, remember ?

[raggyman]

Not going to be here for that dude unfortunately. Going to have to arrange a mini meet.. Let me know if you are free a night during the week or on the weekend, can drop in and have a beer with ya.

[qldmick]

Can you make a Saturday afternoon at the Walkabout, Rob?,as suggested earlier. Remember that one, the banal thread that was of no interest to anyone else 'cept you and me, but now become a day trip for Holden owners and admirers alike, whatever, a darn sight more than just you and me. Anyway,if you can make an hour or two at The Walkabout,would luv to see you before you go. We'll swap a few Tooheys.

We going to do it this Saturday? Can make it, preferably if it was in the afternoon, as working tonight at the walkabout in portsmouth playing spot the pissed bastard and get him out.

[308mate]

Hang on, have I come in on the end of a personal conversation or you guys talking about a wider event? If theres TEDs and Holdens, Im your man.

[Raggyman]

I don't know, if rob is free, I'm up for a beer tomorrow afternoon.

[308mate]

Which Walkabout?

[Raggyman]

Thinking southampton as it is closer for rob.

[308mate]

Can do that. Ill check back here for a final yay or nay on it in the morning.
