davo Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I'm looking a sorting out a route for drive day for the south east area. Before I do could anyone that's interested in doing it please let me know on here,so I can plan a route that suits members that want to do it as we are spread over a large area,& I think it would be impossible to sensibly cover 3/4 counties in one day ! The plan is to avoid motorways & have a good drive round & end up at a watering hole/somewhere to eat ! Please let me know whose up for it cheers brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paris gte Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Come on people lets get behind Brian and give him our support he kindly taken this on to keep our area meets going and to make it intresting, even if it's just a quick text to him. put me down for this also this time I can do it in my own car! has anyone got any spare horsepower maybe we can give some to Martin so he can keep up with us! Sharon we may have to tow yours! Dom with no engine you will be at the back!

Jim@Sharon Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Cheers Karl, just because my old Gurl is tempremental, you know she gets upset when people talk about her lol. Put us down but we will only be bringing one of ours this time. Jim's is having some work done to his and obviously my latest acquisition won't be ready for a while so it will have to be mine. I know Grace is off the road for a while but I don't suppose it matters if it's not her as long as we get together for a good chin wag and food/drink of course ha ha. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davo Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Ok the 24/4 is nearly upon us people. So how about we meet at mickys dinner on the A249(as most of us know where it is!!) at say 10.00. From there I thought we could have a drive through west kent,& rather than have a set route just kinda go with the flow & make it up as we go along ,rather than sticking to a schedule,then if somewhere looks good & the suns out we do photos & of course find somewhere for lunch !! So who's going to be there ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
