eddyramrod Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'm in Portsmouth for my birthday in April, so I've arranged to meet Danthecapriman and any other Shiter who wishes to show up at High Noon on Wednesday April 18th at Mick's Burger Van on the top of Portsdown Hill. The van is more or less a fixture there, it's very much a local landmark with a big car park around it. If we can, it'd be nice to drop in on Stanky too and rib him a bit about his Geep, but really, it's just a bunch of blokes having a burger and talking cars. Anything else is a bonus. It's most likely you'll see Huggy and the Minty Mercury before you see anything else, we take up a bit of space! Anyone up for it?

Stanky Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 Keep me posted, thats the day that the newest member of the Stanky clan is due to make an appearance in the world (an auspicious day?) so I may be just down the road at QA hospital! If I'm not there then you are most welcome to pop in and see the Geep! eddyramrod, danthecapriman and Slartibartfast 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slartibartfast Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'm in for this. I'll book it in at work and with SWMBO. danthecapriman and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mercrocker Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 High noon is, unfortunately, the exact time I start work that day....Still written on the calendar though. eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 I do realise that, being midweek, not everyone will be able to get the time off work, but those who can will be welcome, and those who can't... we will raise our Pepsis in toast to you. Especially Stanky, good luck there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I'll see if I can sneak a day off work and drive something unmodern that week. Might have to be a last minute decision re work though. eddyramrod and danthecapriman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unexpected and sudden illness! I'll be there of course. Capri will be back home by April too, won't be 'on the road' but your welcome to come and have a look at it. eddyramrod and Skizzer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoss Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I have a one in four chance of having the Wednesday off, but you never know, people have beaten better odds than that before. I know the location well so that's not a problem. I'll keep an eye on this. danthecapriman and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dozeydustman Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 If I can leave work early enough I'll come down - how long do these meets normally last? (it'll be my first) danthecapriman and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthecapriman Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 If I can leave work early enough I'll come down - how long do these meets normally last? (it'll be my first)Depends really. Weather obviously plays a part! It just tends to go until people have had enough I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Could be as little as an hour; could be the rest of the day! It all depends on what we find to talk about or do. Burgers from the adjacent van will be involved, and possibly ice cream at some point. Beyond that, it's entirely flexible. This is only the third such meet in three years, so it's a bit early to call anything "normal!" danthecapriman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sterling Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Eddy - In case I don't make it to either yours or Portsmouth (which, being mid week I most probably won't) and if you are passing, for which you will most probably be passing through the M5 at some point you are welcome to mine either on the way down or back up. I've still got some Rover 800 mats here ear marked for you that I keep on tripping over. Either that or I could pass them on to Chaseracer who'll pass them on to you? chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddyramrod Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 Thank you Mo, that's excellent! However.... have you seen the thread I opened today? If I get a suitable offer, I could possibly not be a Rover owner by the time this meet rolls around. It's a big IF though, I think...

Bucketeer Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I'd be up for adding to the French contingent.Also, if I went in my AX I could see it (and photograph it) parked up next to the American behemoths. Which would please me. eddyramrod, wrenchvolt, danthecapriman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Me being there is dependant on the car arriving?Was possibly going to have to call it off as Sam isnt off and im terrible at directions Until another shitter offered to chapperone me and be my co pilot But still dependant on Shitestang arriving and being ready? All you got to do is head south. Keep heading south until you get to a big hill overlooking the sea. If you get wet ye've gone too far! eddyramrod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Cheese-eating surrender-motors! Waving their headgaskets as flags? I will be doing everything I can to be at this. Know the location well, having spent a significant portion of my life in and out of Portsmouth. If I can Engineer a visit to one of our local sites, I might even be able to get my mileage paid for! eddyramrod, danthecapriman and chaseracer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
