Second UK Meet - Sign Up Here!
Well boys and girls, we finally managed the first UK meet back in April and what a day! It still stands as the biggest ever E90 meet on the planet (with photographic and video evidence), you should be proud of yourselves....
New friends were made, E90post members turned up, anonymous surfers turned up, an E46 turned up, an E90 that didn't even know the meet was on turned up, our American friends with steering wheels on the wrong side turned up , we learned more about our cars (well I did), we met celebrities (Dermot), satnavs gave wrong directions (okay it was mine!!), pub carparks were overloaded, we brought villages to a standstill, and curries were consumed a plenty (and they were hot! . It was a cracking day and I'm sure the next one will be even better... All are welcome at the second meet - our US friends of course, possibly our European friends too? We need another E91 to give Ric1 some company and we need some Arctic, White or Red E90's too!! E90post members are welcome, non-members welcome, celebrities welcome, dentists welcome (but bring the Ferrari, please! ) partners welcome , children welcome, mistresses welcome ...basically all are welcome!! So when shall we meet? Please post suggestions and thoughts. Viv and I were thinking a July/August date would be good. We need plenty of time to plan ahead. Also please suggest locations. We could meet at Donington again, somewhere new, or we could join Paddy in Wales!! And this time we need a seriously big attendance. If you were not at the first meet come along to meet us, we're all quite friendly (well most of us!) and we make sure we have a really good time. The more the merrier. So come on!! Sign Up Here.... Let's agree a date and location and then sign up!!! Look forward to seeing both old faces (I mean young) and new faces soon. Paul. |

Paul, I enjoyed producing the DVD of the First UK Meet so much, I'm now thinking of getting an Apple MacBook just to make the next one even better!
I think we had a good day with friendly people, good weather & an entertaining experience overall. To get an even bigger turnout, I think we need to look at a few alternatives:
All the best. Viv

July or August sound fine with me.
A central location would probably be best so as to attract more attendance. I have no problem with a multi-day event. It might even attract some from Scotland, the south-west (that would be Cornwall, not Arizona ), the continent or even further away (Hong Kong maybe? ). SoYank

I would definately concider coming to the next meet, but I am based in Essex, so Scotland would be a bit far for me, but if it were further south, I could be seriously tempted...would be the only 318d ES there I'm sure

I'm in - anywhere really but it would be good to have something arranged for the day. Karting gets my vote!!!

The other big decision would be whether to race indoors or outdoors. Indoors you don't need to worry about the weather, but it's single engine karts (35mph) rather than twins(60-70mph). Kartsport near Cambridge have been in the game for a long time and are fairly level headed about racing. They have both indoor and outdoor tracks. Last time I was there They were using single 390's on their outdoor circuit . Indoors they were using LPG powered karts which were slow to pick up, but really flew when they were in their power band. In reallity, the LPG engines enhance racing by punishing ragged driving. They also have a large car park and catering. Might be a bit too far south for some 'though [edited for spelling] Last edited by London320d; 05-19-2006 at 12:49 PM.. |

Count the heritage section in
Central location would I am sure have the biggest pull, but perhaps it could be stretched north/south if we spread over a couple of days and travel a bit. Karting sounds like a top plan - been a few years since I've been that fast with my a$$ that close to the ground .

We've got some work to do boys and girls - The US of A have evidence of a twenty car meet. Let's start dropping leaflets on any E90 we see. Anyone care to knock a quick flyer up????

Once you guys have a date set for the 2nd meet, might I suggest using our new Meets/Calendar system (http://www.e90post.com/forums/calendar.php) to keep track of the date/attendees? You can access the meets calendar easily by clicking on the "Meets" link in the menu bar at the top of the forum.
You can add a new event on the date and then UK e90post members can indicate whether they plan to attend and the system will keep track for you. You can then post a link to the calendar event in the official meet thread so people can discuss the meet, while also being able to click on the calendar event to see the # of attendees. |
