Exeter Meeting Aug 6th 2011

Thank you to everyone who came along to meet at Exeter and drive to Teignmouth sea front. Every single person who said they were coming turned up plus two more. So although it was all organised ad hoc a few day previously there were 7 cars all together.

Having met at the services we had a coffee and chat and then followed the coast road down to Teignmouth were the weather was ideal and we were all able to park together and have a meal outside by the pier right beside the cars. Thank you to the Beachcomber cafe and the Town Council too by the way.

Here is a link to some photos of the event. Hopefully there are others and someone knows how to load directly.

Attending were Lord Lucan, Mr Grimley, GTO-MAS, Davet25, Farmermatt, Gon4a and Leon

The weather was perfect even though the forecast had changed and there had been rain early in the day. I took the cover off mine at 10am when the rain stopped and got home at about 3pm just in time to put the cover back on before the rain returned. It was literally the first time I had driven my car more than a mile or so having just got it on the road so I was relieved that it ran well.

We hope to organise another in a few weeks, probably from the same starting point and cruising to another venue. Let’s have your ideas and recomendations…

What a great turnout for a first meet. The venue looks awesome too. I hope this becomes a regular meet, I’d definitely make the effort to get along to one of them.

Nice one :slight_smile:

I’ll make a note of that and get in touch if the feedback is strong enough to plan the next meeting. Everyone seemed to enjoy this one so I’m guessing so. We might well make it a little further North depending on who else shows interest and what suggestions are made for the next venue.

Wow! great for a first meet and a lovely summer location.

Mandy

Congrats on your first meet, we will be up for the next one. :smiley:

Neil.

Thanks Lord Lucan for organising what was a great afternoon.
I know you put a lot of effort into organising this one even though it was last minute,it was definately very much appreciated by us.

Speaking as a Teignmouth boy it gave me quite a buzz of pride to have all you guys parked up in my town enjoying yourselves (hopefully !!)

We’ll definately be up for the next one and I’m desperately trying to think of a venue that won’t involve us having to walk home afterwards.

Take care alland hopefully see you again soon.

Wendy and Andy

Very many thanks for arranging this. It’s long overdue for us lot down here to get together again and it was nice to meet up with new owners and good to see Andy & Wendy and Leon again too.
The most amazing thing was that i had the only red one there on the day, that’s as rare as hens teeth.

Mark. :slight_smile:

Well done Paul, unfortunatly I ended up fishing all day so didnt get a chance to come along. However will get along to the next one.

The football season is well under way now so I just dont have time to arrange these at the moment so glad you have the enthusiasum.

It looks like it was a good meet and glad to see Mark brought his own deck chair in the form of his shirt :lol:

Thank you Paul for organizing a smashing meet and for sorting out the privileged v.i.p. parking, the venue it was first class.
Great to meet up with you guys and girls, I will defiantly be up for another meet and hopefully I’ll not have to dash away next time :frowning:

I thought I would be the odd one out in Black but there were 3 of us.

Paul

Yeah Paul, was a good first meet and thoroughly had a good time and meeting everyone…apart from being smoked out occasionally from Mark when pulling away :lol: . Good location and here are some pics.

Looking forward to next one and maybe meet first sat of month…Thanks again Paul and to the council for letting us park outside the cafe

Looks like a good venue guys. Gem+bump and I should hopefully be up for the next one. Is it being planned?

I’m hoping this will work … Wendy managed to make a video of the last Exeter meet.
