[QUOTE=t5 stealth]hi everyone, does anyone know if there is any meetings in the south of england, we southerners arnt as bad as you think, shurely someone wants to see the seaside,[/QUOTE] I'd like to see a Volvo London to Brighton Rally - lots of other cars do it why not us ? :)
[QUOTE=t5 stealth]hi everyone, does anyone know if there is any meetings in the south of england, we southerners arnt as bad as you think, shurely someone wants to see the seaside,[/QUOTE] I'm from Brighton! If there is a southern meet, dates providing you can count me in - and more than likely the friend who has bought my T5 too! (Although he won't actually have the car for another 2-3 weeks).
that would be good, not sure i wana pay conjestion charges tho, dont they take enuf money from us already lol, i seem to be all alone down here, just a couple of us, im sure if more people knew about this site it would open more doors, they seem a really nice bunch on here, unfortunatly its like ebay,,,everythin you want is at the other end of the country lol
No congestion charging at weekends :)
i didnt know that,, iv never been 1 for driving in london, easier takin a train,, cant get the volvo damaged then lol

I'll be up for a southern meet, In fact i might be in Eastbourne on the 25th Nov and definitely in Warrington this Thursday 3pm onwards.
Just thought I'd bring this thread to the top... I met "t5 stealth" shortly today - some pretty unique mods to his car including a raked rear spoiler which is somewhat striking! Anyway, if anyone is interested in a Southern meet at somepoint I'm sure we could get a few members together and have a drink, share some stories and get some pics of the cars together? Anyone?
[QUOTE=S60D5] including a raked rear spoiler ! [/QUOTE] What's one of them? x
[QUOTE=Mrsmopp]What's one of them? x[/QUOTE] A standard spoiler with custom brackets... so it was angled upwards 45 degrees rather than horizontal...
Depending on the date, I would be up for a meet....It would be interesting to see how many Southerners are members.
Ok.. this is a quick poll of members who would possibly be interested provided the date was right... 1. S60D5 2. JimboT5 3. Bradders 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Lets see a few members from down south!
Put my name down, id be up for a sussex meet!!
im already there,, name that day lol
Yeah you could probably count me in, depending on when it was!
1. S60D5 2. JimboT5 3. Bradders 4. Rottertron 5. T5 Stealth 6. Kent Canary 7. 8. 9. 10. (Any midlands members fancy coming down this way?)
1. S60D5 2. JimboT5 3. Bradders 4. Rottertron 5. T5 Stealth 6. Kent Canary 7. Buttercup (non volvo owner sorry!) 8. 9. 10.

I might be up for a meet depends on the date and the place, Brighton would be cool, as i could nip off to Portsmouth then to see my family. Gary
[QUOTE=S60D5] (Any midlands members fancy coming down this way?)[/QUOTE] Possibly, depends when you are thinking of, I know I wont be able to make it this side of xmas tho :(. We may try and do something next year (there has been talk of another southern BBQ) for you southerners ;) x
If you really want to see a good selection of clean motors then there is a meet every month at the Crooked Billet in Iver, Bucks, I know it is a bit of a trek for some of you, but it is a good afternoon out, Gary
1. S60D5 2. JimboT5 3. Bradders 4. Rottertron 5. T5 Stealth 6. Kent Canary 7. Buttercup (non volvo owner sorry!) 8. BrightonBreezy 9. 10. Yep, count me in. Would I have to drive up to London first, just so I can drive back home in convoy? :-) The M23 + A23 from London via Gatwick to Brighton is a nice, quick road. But my favourite route from M25 into Brighton is cross country via Tunbridge and Lewes.
I'd be up for a meet, just up the road in Burgess Hill. (Nice to have a local one) :)

Depending on the Date , I'll be up for it...Nice little drive down from Suffolk..!
I'd be up for it too ,depending on date. puddy :)
I will be up for it too...
OK... Are we thinking before or after Xmas? Weekday / Weekend Afternoon / Evening ?
How about a Saturday or Sunday afternoon, give people time to get there, option for staying into an evening, maybe?
Nice idea KC.....Maybe meet Sat Arvo, B&B + P155Up Sat Night.... Nice little drive home Sunday....Sounds Good.
[QUOTE=dicky b t5]Nice idea KC.....Maybe meet Sat Arvo, B&B + P155Up Sat Night.... Nice little drive home Sunday....Sounds Good.[/QUOTE] I tried to organise something simlar last year, had quite a few interested but nearer and nearer the suggested date more and more people dropped out due to cost of a B&B etc!!
cost could be an issue, especially for the people who have driven a long way to get south, as its going to cost them in fuel just to get down this end, an obvious choice to meet would be somewhere like gatwick airport or somewhere like that as its a good landmark & quite easy to find even if your not from around here,it will be well sign posted, makes it a bit easier for the not so locals. just a thought,what do you think,what did you have in mind,
doesnt have to be a B&B though, it could just be an afternoon meet up and if any good ideas come out of it then people can go from there?
[QUOTE=Kent Canary]doesnt have to be a B&B though, it could just be an afternoon meet up and if any good ideas come out of it then people can go from there?[/QUOTE] How about we say a Saturday afternoon about 3.00pm just north of Brighton? I think it would be best to do it in the new year, as people will be very busy before Xmas, myself included! If we said, about 3pm, we could carry it on into the evening with a meal, then those who wanted to could stay in Brighton and make a weekend out of it and those who didnt could go home...
I think that sounds fine

As a possible venue, can I suggest the Five Bells Inn on the A275 at Chailey. Fantastic food, large car park, play garden.

I go there usually once a week or more... may have seen you there! Lovely in the evening by that open fire, nice comfortable armchairs! Superb suggestion - I was thinking possibly Devils Dyke, but that pub up there is a little.. clinical!! Yes, the Five Bells it is! *Edit* Any new posts please post on the new thread "Sussex Meet Part II" Mods - can ya lock this post please!
