Meet & Drive - Sat 29th Sept?

[Rashman]

Sorry I can't make Saturday. I was looking forward to meeting some folk since I only joined in March.

But Saturday has the best weather, no question, so have a great time, and I'll catch you on the next one...

I'm be thinking of you guys when I'm turning myself upside down at 200 mph, Saturday AM

See you soon,

Cheers

Sorry you can't make this bud
But next time, for sure!

Upside down at 200mph??? lol!

Ok guys,

The plan will be as follows:

Meet at Clackett services at 10am - leave there by around 10.20am

From there we will head to:

The Trevor Arms, The St Glynde, Lewes, East Sussex, (BN8 6SS) - should be there for about 11.20am

Then to:

The Plough Inn, South Road, East Sussex, (BN7 3DF) - should be there for about 11.45am - 12 noon

Then to:

The Red Barn, Tandridge Lane, Tandridge, Surrey, (RH7 6LL) for a bite to eat - should be there for about 12.35pm - 12.50pm


Total drive time will be around 2hrs 5mins / 75 miles (providing traffic doesn't mess things up).

The Red Barn is only about 15mins from Clackett Services, so we will end up pretty much where we started.


I would suggest heading out to your cars tonight and punching in the postcodes/ destinations to save you doing this when we meet at Clackett services.

Perhaps even look at the destinations on google earth first to make it easier finding them on your sat nav screens.

I say this because I punched in the postcodes into google earth and they weren't exactly on the destinations.

Do what's easiest for you.

Any questions, please ask.

Also, it would be great for anyone that is around tomorrow to join us, so please do so!!

If you do, let us know if you will be joining us and where.

Rashman, really want to come along to this, only 15 minutes for me to Glynde, but struggling with time, got to work tomorrow, even allowing for my planned emergency 'call out', cars not been cleaed since Vmax, half a ton of dead insects all over the front end, but will try to get to Glynde, if I do or dont make it, how is catering set up, as I quite fancy lunch at Red Barn, if I can get there, there will be no sandwich for me, will be wanting the whole 3 course!.

Sorry for the late reply.. just been prepping the sat nav

It really would be great if you could join us - at any of the destinations we have marked.

Joining us at the Red Barn would be great, if you can't join us mid-drive.

Catering is however you want it to be my friend

I have contacted the Red Barn today and told them we will be popping in at around 12.30 - 1pm.
They have a wedding planning thing going on but they said they will arrange something for us... don't worry, there is plenty of parking (that was my first question to them !!) and it is only a wedding planning.. not a wedding! lol

Henry will be having a light lunch, as he has a dinner planned for the evening, but I'm cool with a larger lunch... Henry can sit there with his sandwich and watch us tuck in! lol!

I'm sure Paul will be up for a good lunch too.

Don't worry about your car not being as clean as you like.. even I am preparing myself for the odd damp road here and there along the way.

It would just be good to have you with us!

Hi there,

Presumably you mean Clacket Lane on the clockwise carriageway, to then leave the M25 southbound on the A22 ?

A great day out, 34 litres of V8's with more than 3300 bhp as the 6 of us made our way through East Sussex.

Great company, perfect weather, green scenery and food and drink all in all a great day.

Some regulars from the Bluewater meet and a surprise turn up from a new member who joined the forum this morning and rolled up in his Brabus K8 SL

 

[Rashman]

Hey guys!

What a great day out!

Thanks to all of you guys for taking time out to make this a great day

Awesome drive and awesome company!

I must go and clean the car down and then I can chill and post up the pictures I took!

Won't be too long!

Sat drive

Hi all,
Enjoyed the day very much and thanks to all for the welcome. Great drive and weather, enjoyed the decibels in the tunnel on the way back and hopefully we navigated round that huge puddle. Impressed with the cars, their condition, the mods and knowledge you guys have about MBs. Look forward to the next get together. Seems a shame to give in to winter so early, look like there are a few good days left!
best T

 

[donshl]

Hey guys,

Just echoing what Paul and Rash said, the great day out and a great drive!

Good to meet you Henry and Toby, hopefully see you guys soon at the Santa Pod!

 

[ricky s]

You boys come down to my neck of the woods, and you get home first, hows that worked out?

All that aside a big thanks to Rashman for his time and effort getting this day sorted, it was fun, enjoyed the whole day, glad I ducked out of work early. The final destination of the day was perfect, so much car parking space, albeit, Rash did have a minor issue with a puddle!, well actually it was a big issue, it was Rash's beloved car with a wheel in a puddle 'DIRT' aaarrggh! LoL.
Great to meet up with Benjy again, been a long time, and also to meet up with Tob and his immaculate Brabus K8 SL, as well as Donshl and his beastie CLS55, and as ever great to chat with Sav Man again and also to see some of his recent mods first hand on his 3.7s machine.
Thanks for all your company and banter today, hopefully we will get to do it all again some time.
My thanks to Rashman.
