Third UK Meet - Sat 17th March

booforty · 12-20-2006, 03:23 AM

Ok people, so we've had UK1 and UK2 so its now time to organise UK3!!

UK1 was attended by about 15 E90's/E91 including one in the car park that didn't know about the meet, Matt's E46, a mystery dentist who drives Ferrari's and our convoy brought many Derbyshire villages to a standstill whilst searching for an Indian restuarant!! All the pictures, stories and characters can be found in the UK1 thread here

UK2 was attended by about 11 E90's but unfortunately no E91's. Matt was there in his E46 (he keeps promising to get an E90) plus Ray in his E60. We had a fantastic barbeque and a convoy through the Derbyshire countryside to Belvoir castle (pronounced Beaver

) finishing with the infamous curry and liaisons in a dark carpark - see the UK2 thread for more!

UK3 should be great fun again and we are expecting the usual "crowd" and hopefully some new faces. We will also be saying goodbye to Floyd who is returning to the States in his E90 330i (what a long drive!). Plus we need more E91's this time and we would love to see the first E92 at the meet.

More than happy to consider different dates and meet locations but how about I start off by suggesting the usual location which is the Donington Park Museum car park in Derbyshire. Because of weather and limited daylight I suggest we schedule UK3 for say Saturday 10th, 17th or 24th March 2007. I know its a long way off but these events take a surprisingly long time to organise and a lot of notice is required to get reasonable numbers.

So come on all UK e90post.com members! Let's make a day of it, sign up here!! Show off your cars and join us for a great drive. Everyone is welcome whether you have a E90/E91/E92 or not, plus bring family and friends too!

UK1 and UK2 were great successes and the more at UK3 the merrier!! If you enjoy UK3 you could even consider joining the "hardcore" members who are planning a trip to the Isle of Man on the 21st-22nd April 2007 (no speed limits!)

Please post your interest below, including your date of preference and we welcome suggestions for alternative locations, but they must be fairly central as members drive from all four corners of the country.

Oh and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone on e90post!

March is prime ski-season in Canada, but if I'm here, I'll come to UK3

My current lease finishes in Sept'07, so you'll probably have to put up with the classic lines of the E46 until then. Though there was an E91 330d waiting to be delivered in the dealer on Monday that looked soooooo nice.

Put me down. I can't see any problem with the dates suggested, and Donnington does seem to work well as a meeting point (quite a few of us know where it is now).

Bravecat · 12-20-2006, 10:22 AM

Look forward to it, and if business/travel does not interfer, i should be there!

smokin · 12-20-2006, 10:55 AM

ill be there if it not too far away from london!

red355 · 12-20-2006, 11:45 AM

Can't do 24th but ok for the other two dates...

SoYank · 12-20-2006, 12:06 PM

I'm game for March but I thought since England was basically triangular we'd be coming from only the three corners. Or should I skip the navi system and revisit a paper map?

A few of us usually convoy up from London together which makes the journey a little more fun.

rayb · 12-20-2006, 01:19 PM

Should be ok for March, just depends on work travel commitments.

vivekk · 12-20-2006, 01:28 PM

I'll be there again, I suppose!

I'm just being downright cheeky, Floyd, which reminds me...
...as it's probably Floyd's last meet, are you sorting the strippers out or am I, MF?

All I'm prepared to say is that I saw one of the Nolans in her dressing gown.
