K0 PWR Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 hi guys. Im from London, never been to a meet before, but love to tag along. Just wanted to know how it works... Where do we meet? Is there a charge? Cant wait to show off my new NKB kit thats if it ever comes out of the garage!
Stew Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 For the wales meet, you meet at a services beside Chester. Have a natter and look at each others cars etc. Then head off to Wales. Arrive in Bala and park at a beautiful spot and then have a lovely lunch. Then you go back and do somemore driving including the EVO triangle. Excellent day out, you pay for your lunch and thats it! Well worth going to. I drove down from Aberdeen in North East Scotland (around 400 miles each way) for the Wales meet in May. Well worth the drive in my opinion!

stanski Posted September 14, 2008 Posted September 14, 2008 Zoiks!! 25 cars already!!! This is looking good folks! Now what about the other 25?? (we had last time?) As an aside - they have reworked the A494 (from bottom of the M56) quite substancially but hopefully it will a lot easier now without traffic lights to hold us up and break up the convoy

NWZ Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 I'm really looking forward to this, one of the reasons why I didn't go to Silverstone IMO this is a much better meet. And I can stay all day this time, not like last time when I had to leave early! I wonder what Stan will be bringing this time .... Can't believe it's been some 5 months since the last meet, this year is flying.

Neil Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Can I make a geeky suggestion guys? We tend to identify each other by the cars we drive? Once we all get out, we all look the same Can I suggest that we display our site name in the rear window (or passenger side) so that we know who we are following, whilst helping to identify each other easily? It worked well at Haigh Hall, I thought. Wot d'yer fink? Neil
chughes163 Posted September 16, 2008 Posted September 16, 2008 Hi I have since sold my 350z however I did go on this run a few months ago. I am by no means having a dig, and realise its difficult trying to organise such events on a grand scale - but a few of us did find that we were stopping an awful lot and didnt actually do much driving!.... i.e. lunch we were there about 2 - 2.5 hours having been stopped at a service station for 45 mins prior to this and then about a 30-45 minute drive to the restaurant. The location was nice however. We then split off on convoy's and stopped again just 30 minutes later for cake etc. for a long time - and by then it was quite late in the afternoon. Personally if I were to do it again I would prefer more driving and less stopping - and I know a couple of other drivers felt the same. As I said - im by no means having a dig, just a bit of feedback **waits to get mobbed!!** **locks front door** **boards up windows**
