Autoshite South East Meet, 24 March 2024 Flower Farm again

[inconsistant]

It was good fun!

It’s been a year!

Let’s do this again!

DATE
Sunday 24th March 

VENUE
Flower Farm,
Oxted Road (A25)
Godstone
RH9 8BP

Flower Farm is  a farm shop with a cafe, it's on the A25 and it's about a mile south from M25 Junction 6.. They've got a good sized car park, indoor and outdoor seating, they do tasty but chaotically served breakfast type food until 11am, take away coffee, tea, cake etc. There's a farm shop to fulfil all your scotch egg, picked onion, daffodil and beer desires too. 

Whoever gets there first please bag the far left corner of the car park so we can all park together.

TIME
From 10am

All welcome! 

It would be great to see as many of us out as possible… new and old shitters, left, returned, lapsed, background lurkers, whatever.

It rained last year and no one cared, we had about 10-12 shiters and cars which was briliant, so no excuse not to come!

Last Year:

Post below with preferred dates and I'll revise the title. Thanks to @wesacosa for the prompt to post this rather than just think about doing it.

[Rust Collector]

I’m up for this, I think I can do either day. I should try and finish the XM off in time for the meet.

[CaptainBoom]

I'm up for this, either date works for me.

[wesacosa]

either day works for me, hopefully one of the fleet will be working by then 

[Stanky]

I can do either, looking forward to it. Good venue, good food, and a good chance to give the Daihatsu a run

[wesacosa]

bumping back up the pages in case anyone interested missed the post 

[JakeT]

I’ll try and get along to this, albeit I seem to be very busy. But I’d like to attend something AS related.

[inconsistant]

Little weekend thread bump and date confirmed as 24th March since all who have posted so far can do both days.
I’ve amended the first post accordingly. 

 

Anyone else fancy this?

[RobT]

Sounds good, I'll try and pop along this time.

[inconsistant]

Will be good to catch up if you can make Rob, it’s been ages!

If the weathers good I’ll  see if I can fit the Itera plastic bike in the back of the 924 so you can have a go of it like I promised about 5 years ago!

Not to worry if it's too much trouble but that would be great.  The one I had was a bit ropey so didn't get a chance to ride it properly.  Although maybe that's just how they are...!

[inconsistant]

3 weeks to go bump!

So far we definitely probably maybe have:

Yeah I’ll be there for 10ish, probably in the LS unless I sort the XM.

[dozeydustman]

I’ll put myself in the ‘Maybe’ pile for this one.

Everyone is in the ‘definitely probably maybe’ pile.  Would be great if you could join us!

[wesacosa]

I wonder if we could pin this topic for a bit to keep it up top to remind those who want to come and hopefully drum up some more interest as we approach the date?  I think we did this last year 

[richardmorris]

Maybe. I’m in France so can’t see the work diary yet.  2cv isn’t up to motorway speeds though until the exhaust manifold is fixed.

Done!

[inconsistant]

Thanks MrsSexy!

[wesacosa]

thanks. hopefully we will get a grand turn out like last year 

[egg]

I can't do this one, my excuse being it's 5% of my Mondeo's limited mileage allowance to get there and back 😆

But to hijack the fred...

Just a note for South East shiters, there's an event in Sandwich on 25th May, which is quite nice time for a car show, not too cold to want to get back indoors or too hot too want to have a nice sit down. Sandwich is of course the end of the world, but just marking your cards, might try and organise a gang outing.

[wesacosa]

you are welcome to just turn up in your daily driver and admire the other tat on display and meet a few fellow shiters

 

[inconsistant]

Or bring the Mondeo but start the journey from somewhere closer to keep the mileage down. 

[Vantman]

I am ok for this but i am currently shiteless so i will be in my modern 05 Saab 9-5.

[Vantman]

@egg,you have a PM.

[lisbon_road]

Will try

I'm glad I'm not the only person who considers a 2005 car a modern.

Well, I'm sure loads on here are of the same view.  But I just felt like saying it.  All them computers they contain innit.

[Jds1]

I'm going to try and make it , look out for the red panda with leprasy lol.

[Weird Car]

I’m off that day and it’s not a million miles away so I’ll try my best to be there 

[Crackers]

If I have time I'll try and pop up as I have a mate just round the corner I can visit afterwards, so put me in the "maybe" pile also.

 

Scratch that, I'm on a stag do in Manchester.
