Clackett is central and you get a good run on the M25 late at night:devil: but I'm up for meeting any where

Matt Harwood
02-05-03, 09:04
Clacketts is hardly central to kent! :conf: :innocent:

Rav
02-05-03, 09:09
Not sure how well lit it is at night. But the Henry's Table in Maidstone (Nottcutts Garden Centre) was a good location for the recent meet. Also, has the advantage of pub with food and drink.

Scott
02-05-03, 09:10
Yeah whatever! :D looks like maidstone area then

Mid'lifecry'sis
02-05-03, 10:13

If you havbe trouble finding it, just wind down your window and listen for the noise of all those NUR specs and Hypers.........:flame Dev

Geezabloke
07-05-03, 21:44
All welcome, even lazy fat Bast's.......lol

Mid, i used pupose caliper paint from Halfords and proper brake cleaner first. The paint goes on a little thick "DOH!" but it looks good blindin when done............:flame Dev

Geezabloke
07-05-03, 21:53
Matt, sorry ta hear about the house, but these things happen for a reason...........SO YOU CAN COME OUT TO PLAY!........:flame Dev

Steve W
07-05-03, 22:12
Is the Paddock area the circled bit-ish ?

Get to it via A20 ?

by "A" or "B" ?

:conf:

Geezabloke
07-05-03, 22:18
I think A, as B looks like main Brands entrance...............
Anyone can jump in and correct at any time??????????
But its a smallish area so im sure we will all converge eventually....LOL
If you cant see anyone just give off the mating call of the modded Supra...................6000 rpm +..........They'll all come sniffing.................:D :flame Dev :flame Dev :flame Dev

Matt Harwood
07-05-03, 22:52
I won't know for certain until tomorrow evening, but it's not looking good regarding the move :( So yes, possibly coming out to play :) Although, I doubt I'll be therer before 8.00ish

Mid'lifecry'sis
08-05-03, 00:13
yep me to m8.. 8ish.. my hyper at 7000rpm screams!

call paint fades after a month m8... had a chat with two other guys off BBS... trust it won't happen to you 2.

:blink:

B1SEP
08-05-03, 09:01
Im going to try and get there for 8'ish,
but im still very unwell (orrible chest infection) im
on antibiotics and may not feel well enough to drive 8-(

Best decide where to meet, there are two entrances,
a> the "rear entrance" :eek: which you get to by turning of the A20 and going up Scratchers lane
b> the "main entrance" of the A20


May I suggest we all meet at the main entrance on the A20 at 8,
park up "before" the entrance gates and when everyone has arrived we drive into the circuit and park in the paddock.

Does this sound good ?

Geezabloke
08-05-03, 15:22
Sounds good to me, but then i wouldnt argue with you anyway.....LOL:D :flame Dev
Just dont lend me your germs big man...........:flame Dev

B1SEP
08-05-03, 16:27
>Just dont lend me your germs big man...........

As long as you dont kiss me you'll be safe from my germs,
turns out it wasnt chicken pox, which is a relief !!!

What happens if its pissin' down with rain, still on ?

BOO HOO BOO HOO!

Duncan
08-05-03, 23:10
Okay, that was strange!

Drove about an hour to Brands Hatch. Arrive at about 20:30 or something. As we're crusing up the road toward the Paddock turn off, about 4 sups, 1 R34 and I think it was a starlet turbo go past us heading in the wrong direction :eek:

We're like, "that's so not a coincidence!!" and "Why are they going that way?" Anyway, we turn off at the road that supposedly leads to the paddock and spend the next 30 mins going up and down it trying to find the place!!! In the end we decide that a pair of loney locked gates was probably it as it had a Brands Hatch notice on it albeit very understated.

So did you all bugger off because the place was locked? To some other place that I arrived to late to hear about? If so, arse!!!!!

Mid'lifecry'sis
09-05-03, 09:23
neither I or Geeza got there, could have been a good meet...

I got stuck at my duaghters 4th birthday party.. can you blame me!

Geezabloke
09-05-03, 09:39
Mid i got there aboy 10:10 ..........HARDCORE till the end......lol
Nice to meet those that were left and sorry i missed those that went earlier.
I think there was some slight confussion over location, so next time well either pick somewhere thats bloody obvious and everyone knows! or put BIG signs up........:stupid:
Im away soon getting some rays, but as Arnie says I'LL BE BACK!

Mid'lifecry'sis
09-05-03, 09:45

Any chance people could do a new meet on the Wednesday, before you go????;)

If so m8 I'll start a new thread.

Mid

Duncan
09-05-03, 10:02
So what happened????? Why was no-one near the paddock when I arrived at about 20:30????

Mid'lifecry'sis
09-05-03, 10:06
FUBAR meet Duncan - sorry to here you buggered about.

Kent meets are important, big SUP popualtion here so we all ought to make the most of the time. And then it rained!

Mid'lifecry'sis
09-05-03, 10:06
I meant you GOT buggered about ...hehehe;)

Duncan
09-05-03, 10:23
Cheers Midlife, I was beginning to think that my posts were invisible!

I'm just interested to know where everyone went after you all past me on the A20 going the other way! Can anyone enlighten me?

Geezabloke
09-05-03, 11:24
Duncan, Sorry M8 werent ignoring you, I was in hurry ealier and didnt have time to reply at the time.
Total balls up, i arranged it all then got waylaid to the Hospital, but being a top GEEZA i got there about 10:10
As i said earlier we either need somewhere we all know, a map or phone numbers so we can arrange or confirm if lost?
As Mid said theres a lot of interest for regular meets and i for one am all for it...............So sorry you got BUGGERED..........lol
but do try again
:sly:
Perhaps someone who got there earlier could shed some light ???????
Anyway, look forward to meeting you next time m8...:flame Dev

Gilham007
09-05-03, 11:32
We all met at the Main Entrance at around 8 ish. We then left there at about 8.30 where we saw a silver Supra going the other way and went straight into the harvester which was on the first left by the Texco garage on the roundabout. Geeza tuned up at about 10.10 and most of us left 10.45.

Duncan
09-05-03, 11:44
No probs Geeza, I'll defo be there next time. :)

Gilham007, I don't believe it!!! That harvester must've been the ONLY place we didn't look!! I was indeed driving the silver sup going the other way!! Lol.

Bit of a nightmare really, next time eh?

Gilham007
09-05-03, 11:51
I wasn't sure where we was going either, I was coming down in the second red Supra but there was the Skyline and a few others still behind us thats why we didn't pull over.
