Christmas Meet 2009 - SUNDAY 13th DECEMBER

[Adam]

As there is still interest in doing this I'm proposing a pretty simple affair of meeting up at the Gaydon Motor Museum (easy to get to and most people know where it is), wont go into the museum as everyone's been there and done that, then onto a local pub for a spot of lunch and a chat.

Postcode for the Museum is CV35 0BJ.

Meet time 12:00.

SUNDAY 13th DECEMBER

Also add your name to the list of attendee's.

So get voting if you're coming.....

[Adam]

Might be a bit difficult at the moment, there aren't any brakes on her, whoops! :wacko:

[welshone]

Who needs brakes just put your foot down and a pathway will be made :devil:

But big shame would have been nice to have seen it. ( for people just reading this i do mean the TDR beast. . . lol )

[GmL_BrM]

no brakes must mean those new ones r going on!!

[krazycrab]

Yeah should able to make it as long as i can afford the fuel its ooooo at least 3 miles away from home but if i set out early enough i think i can get there lol

[Adam]

Well everyone is welcome, would be good to see you there.

p.s. welcome to the site Mr Krazycrab! :wave:

[krazycrab]

Cheers and c u there

[krazycrab]

P.S great site

[ViT]

This meet open to just BRMs? I quite fancy bringing the ZR and having a look at a few special British icons

[brmad]

I'm sure you will be welcomed but I believe the plan is just to meet there so if you wanted to look around you need to be done by 12 unless the plan changes.

Feel free to come along, you're more than welcome. The more the merrier really!

We'll probably be at the museum till getting on for 1:00ish, just to allow time for stragglers to catch up, people to chat, etc. Then move on from there for some grub :D

[BRMark]

SUMMARY
Driving distance: 163.5 miles
Trip duration: 2 hours, 28 minutes

That's do able for me - however my brakes are fubar at the moment and it's in today again for the thrid time to be set up (hopefully properly). Brakes permitting and if I'm hangover free on Sunday morning................there's a slight chance I might be there.

[BRG_GTI]

Well its a 3hr trip for me and im also at works christmas do on the 12th so depending on how messy that gets i may well take a trip.

[Adam]

Well if everyone turns up, this could be the biggest BRM meet we've ever had :D

[BRMark]

3 hours!? you must drive slower than me! :D :laugh:

[maph2]

[BRG_GTI]

Not slower just further to go :thumbsup:

[Umbra3000]

Would love to come but I am seeing Them Crooked Vultures. Depending on your musical tastes that either a damn good excuse or terrible.
I will come to some more meets though im still to see another BRM on the road! Have fun!

[brmad]

Would love to come but I am seeing Them Crooked Vultures. !
I must be getting old I thought you meant the "In laws" were coming for lunch.

[BRMark]

[kinggareth]

Sorry but I'm gonna have to duck out guys, i've now got a carpet being fitted mid afternoon on Sunday.
I was gonna try to squeeze the get together in but I'd have to leave about 1:30 so it hardly seems worth it.

Shame.

Have a great day though :)

[Adam]

Aww damn, people dropping like flies as usual. Hope some of you can make it :(

[Cruizer]

I really want to come to this. I did think the 121miles there was a long journey, but seeing how far some are going for this, its not too bad.

But the cars in for MOT Saturday, so don't know if I'll be able to drive mine Sunday depending how the test goes.

I'll let you know if i can make it.

[Taff]

i could try and come, that would involve someone else driving (im on the jar's tonight) and depending if i can skip a 21st birthday party!! looking very slim mind. how about a meeting for the ones that wanted 20th? lol.

[kinggareth]

how about a meeting for the ones that wanted 20th? lol.


I'm in for this, the 20th was always much easier for me anyway.

I really wanted to come on the 13th, but 100miles or so each way to spend 1-1.5hrs just isn't feasible :(

[Adam]

Well those that are coming, I hope you've been cleaning your cars in the cold today!
