Im also definitely up for this aswell
Once my 500 arrives I'll be up for this. Have been to Birmingham and Bristol for meets in the past so reasonable distance is doable.

Numbers are coming along. Certainly enough to start getting this off the ground, and as it becomes more regular numbers aught to increase further.
I can now officially confirm I'm all set for this, car is now MOT'd for another 12 months
Looks like this meet will be a good turn out

Yeh it look like it'll be a good meet
I'll have to get some more mods done before the meet date is set

Haha me too. I've just bought some black angel eyes and just put a GSR Induction kit on, just ordered some carbon fibre vinyl to try and fit lol and maybe make a few things look a bit snazzier.

Not to brag, but I've just won myself some new Hertz front speakers in a competition (including fitting...). :woot:
Looks like it might be time to upgrade the HU at the same time.... :chin:
I have average speakers that has very little bass
aha let's not all sit there blasting our speakers see who comes on top......it'll just put my name at shame Might have to get some bassy ones before the meet then I'll be all set

Okay... -- here goes...! :idea:
Looking at where everyone lives -- although we're scattered over quite a large area... -- Coventry seems to be the best spot: at no more than 50-60 miles, I reckon, from where everyone has said they live. So my (first) suggestion is the Pizza Hut at Coventry Arena... -- see here and here. Hopefully, we should be able to source some vouchers, as well, to bring costs down.... I'm more than happy for people to bring their other halves, if they think that they'll be able to stomach lots of talk of coilovers, subwoofers and semi-synthetic (rather than olive) oil...!
It's near the M6 (and the M69); not that far from the M40 (pretty easy drive up the A46 and A444); and is, therefore, I hope, pretty easy access for everyone from the motorway network (and it will, of course, be extra easy for anyone already based in Coventry -- e.g. Piglet119).
I'm presuming evenings or weekends (or a combination of the two -- although we'll probably want to avoid match days...) makes sense for most people... -- so the next step is to decide on a date! :chin:
Can you therefore add your preferences to this list (including any comments on the suggested location), please; and we'll take it from there. Ta!
Let the games begin...!

- homeward (Stephen): red Punto Mk2 -- weekends or evenings; second or third weekend in February, maybe; suggested location is fine (surprisingly); probably be on my own....
Let the games begin...!

scout500 (Bob) purple TA500c (If it ever arrives ) weekends only, the only date I can't do is 24th Feb (Going to go round Prodrive, near Banbury, I'll get details so we can have a meet there too ) Location fine its about 1 1/2 hrs for me (hence why weekdays are a no-no) and thats doable . Deffinately on my own, its more enjoyable (for everyone) if the wife and kids stay at home

I'm pretty flexible on my days
Should we aim to meet at the beginning of March, then...? Hopefully, the weather will be a little better, then; and we'll have a bit more daylight to play with.... :idea:
Well I can see what my bank balance is like after the YI Meal all being well I won't skin myself dry
March is too long to wait want to see your MK2, I don't get a chance to have a natter about a MK2 cause the meets I go to everyone either has a GP or 500 etc
