Hi all,

Just bought myself a 2004 182 and I am loving it!

Hoping to join in on some local meets to get to know people! :)

Cheers

Welcome along mate, another southwest member, seems that almost every new member lately has been in the southwest!
 
Hello,

And yet another sw member.

Youve just missed a fairly big meet that was on Sunday. The next one will be Castle Combe action day on the 28th :)

Get some pictures up of the car :)

Looking forward to meeting you all!

Sorry to be naive but what actually happens with a meet like this? As I haven't been to one before but am really keen on going along!

Also, are all meets like actual events or do people meet up seperately?

Cheers

Some meets are drives, some are more 'stationary'.

Generally, there's a location and a time to be there, e.g. a car park. For a driving meet, you stand and have a chat for a bit until everyone's turned up and then everyone convoys out along the route. Often there's a few stops to work out what's next.

(thanks shifty!)

A park-up meet is exactly that, park up next to everyone else (if you're first, pick somewhere close to the entrance and with plenty of space either side), have a chat with everyone, take pics, have a meal, get ideas e.t.c.

If the meet's quite far away from you, but there's a few local people going, you can always convoy to the meet.

Is that Cheddar gorge i see there? Great road! Would be interested in some local meets, convoy or stationary if there is any! Thanks for the insight McGherkin!

Hay Taunton's not that bad!! Well some of it is scummy as f**k but not my area!!!

Lol, its not as nice as other bits of somerset though to be fair, too built up, so I think it was a reasonable generalisation even though im from Taunton too.

Speaking of taunton, when is the next mini-meet down this way?
 
  Racing Blue 182
Man that look so awesome! Do me a favour, next time a meet like that comes up! If you remember, send me the link in case I don't spot it! :D

There is a southwest group you can join, then Emma as local rep will have your name on the list to send out a PM-shot to :)
 
  Racing Blue 182
Ah awesome! Yeah you may do!

Would be good to join in on some of these meets! And seeing as I'm a meet virgin at the minute, I think I should start from the bottom and work my way up before I break myself on a track! Although in time, I'm sure it'll be good fun! :D

Dam, wish I had looked at this thread, would have been good to come over?!

I live between Welshmill and Badcox, what about you guys? Any meets around our area?

Lots of us will be at castle combe circuit this saturday if you fancy that?

12 quid each to get in on the day.
 
  Racing Blue 182
Awesome, I'm actually going with another club, purely because its my first meet sort of thing and my mate is going with his club so he said to join and go with them. Just as I would feel more comfortable with someone I know when I lose my car day virginity! So maybe I could come over and introduce myself on the day as I wanna meet you lot :) That's if I'm welcome of course :)

Personally im with another club as well, I'll be in a red N reg corsa, but quite a few of the southwest lot are going to be there on the cliosport stand apparently.
