View Full Version : Portsmouth/Southampton mini-meet
A couple of us have decided to try and organise a mini-meet for people in Southampton and Portsmouth and anyone else who wants to come along.
:thumbs: Unless anyone has a better suggestion, we've decided that Lee-on-the-solent will be a good place to hold it. It's nicely situated between Southampton and Portsmouth and is really easy to find if you don't know the area. There are also loads of places to park and if it's hot and sunny we can go down the beach; buy an icecream and the likes!
:burp: The intention is to meet at a pub and then decide what to do from there, thats if we wanna leave the pub! I'd recommed The Old Ship pub as a good place to go as they have an outdoor drinking area right next to the car park, and they also serve some good food. Details of the pub can be found below. Again, other suggestions are welcome.
Finally the date. We've decided to hold it in July as it will hopefully be nice and sunny and also gives people plently of notice. The following dates are available so far...
6th (Sunday )
12th (Saturday)
13th (Sunday)
20th (Sunday)
26th (Saturday)
27th (Sunday)
So if your interested in going then could you let me know here, including prefered dates or dates you know you can't make. Hopefully I can then sort out a date suitable for everyone. :)
Cheers,
Lee

I could be up from that.
I'm living in Burgess Hill now but I'm a Pompey boy originally, I have friends who live in Lee so could double it up with a visit to them.
Can't do the 6th, but any of the other dates could be OK if I book it with "the boss" as far in advance as possible :D
if I book it with "the boss" as far in advance as possible I'm glad you said that, I'd better run it past my boss too! :eek: Oh well, bit late now! :D
So that narrows it down to the following dates...
12th (Saturday)
13th (Sunday)
20th (Sunday)
26th (Saturday)
27th (Sunday)

Speaking of "the boss", she's just reminded me that Billing is on 26/27th!!
I'm definately going to Billing, so won't be able to make those dates - you don't really want to double up with one of the biggest Jap meets of the year anyway!!
:stupid: D'oh! Thats a good point. So that narrows it down to...
12th (Saturday)
13th (Sunday)
20th (Sunday)
And this escapade looks like it's gonna be happening on the 12th and 13th :)

hehe
The France thing's tempting, not sure whether I can do that yet - would be nice to have the option though...
I guess lets see what date(s) the other Pompey people or Scummers can do... :D
Right, I've just done a search on "20th July OR 20/7" and it returned just two topics, this one and the Upcomming Events one (Where it matched 20th and July on different lines)
So I think it's going to be the Sunday 20th July, unless enough people want to make it one of the other dates.
I guess lets see what date(s) the other Pompey people or Scummers can do...
That's one of the reasons I suggested Lee as a place to meet, neutral ground to prevent any rivalry! :p

LOL! I never thought of the Supra as being a peace keeper! :hug: Truely a magnificent car. :D
So it still looks like the 20th July is the best date so far with the following in attendance...

So that's 3 people from Portsmouth, 1 from Southampton and 1 from Guildford. Jive, you need to get more Southampton people along :stickpoke, otherwise you're gonna be out numbered!
OK, in that case I think we'd best finalise the details.
Date: 20th July
Place: The Old Ship, Lee-On-The-Solent
Time: I'll check when they open but I can be there anytime.
For anyone who doesn't know the area I've made up (in the context of producing rather than being fictitious! :p) some maps showing how to get there from the M27. There's one for people comming from the Portsmouth direction and one for those comming from Southampton. There's also a close up of the area showing local road names and alternative places to park should the pub carpark be full.
Portsmouth people...

Yeah I'm definitely up for this, will be turning up with a hangover no doubt as it's my mates wedding the day before, hair of the dog will be in order.
I'll text p00t as I'm sure he's in the process of moving house and not sure if he's been on here for a while.

I only just noticed this thread, I don't usually read the Gatherings and Events cos they're all bleeding miles away and I still don't know what/where "Billing" is.
I'll be there for this one though, add me to the list.
We should go somewhere scenic to take some pics of the group* of Supras.
Needs to be somewhere picturesque . . . Fratton Park maybe? :D
Is this gonna be a Geezers Only thing or can we bring the GFs?
* - What is the collective noun for a bunch of Supras?
A pose of Supras?
A fury of Supras?
A clamour of Supras?
A horde of Supras?
A thunder of Supras?
A drove of Supras?
A pride of Supras?
A stampede of Supras? (if moving)
:looney:

Hmm....was thinking about bringing the other half along, will let you know nearer the day.
Ill be bringing my GF.
Cant go anywhere to close to Portsmouth though, we havent had our inoculations.

13-06-03, 09:57
Eh bringin GF's along sounds like you have already had your injections of "de-trousering"!!
Just kidding guys, but yeah if they are fit get them to bring their bikini's along then we can do the "thunder (the best one) of supra's" justice with the photos!!
I will just bring my inflatable......shes very flexible !!
I always found the same, loads of meets but never any that close to me. So I thought to myself, why not organise one. So I did! :D And besides, I've been off work all week ill and I was desperate to find something to do to stop me going mad... :looney:
As for somewhere scenic and picturesque, I totally agree. :gallery: There are several very scenic car parks along the coast ideal for taking some pics, the only draw back this time of year is they charge to get in to some of them, but it's hardly anything.
Yep, I see no problem with gf's comming.... hehehe (sorry) :innocent: I'll be bringing mine if shes not working. If they like nice cars then they'll enjoy it as much as the rest of us, and you can even try and score some brownie points by saying your taking her out for a nice Sunday meal! :cool: Ummm.. a car park full of Supras... Supras full of gorgeous bikini clad babes! I'll have to make sure my digi camara is fully charged! :D
Guys, I was going to do this one, but your date stuffs me up, you didnt really need to know this but I am hoping that you'll now feel bad......:p ;)

I will come on the 20th
if im back form silverstone the British GP is on that weekend and I have a free ticket for friday
it would be better in june or august as july is very packed
with france 12/13 and billing 25 to 27 billing is in northampton if you have a supra you should go as there are 92 supras going so far
I think a local meet is a very good idea a should be done regular every 4 to 6 weeks

I think a local meet is a very good idea a should be done regular every 4 to 6 weeks June was voted out quite early, and August seemed such a long time away. If all goes well with this meet then there's nothing stopping me/us organising another one late August or early September. I'd be up for a regular local meet. It'll be good to put some faces to names and have a butchers at some other Supra's. :D

Totton so not far away :)
If Boxhill is this Saturday then unfortunately I will not be attending, have a wedding reception to goto and as my mate lives in Finland I'd better attend.
Ah well, gives me some more time to sort me car out :D

There must be something in the water, my mates getting married in a couple of weeks and it's his stag do this weekend, so I can't go either. :mad: But then it is a three day stag do, so that should prove interesting! :burp:

Heh...well so far this year I should have been to one but I was at the FA Cup Final in Cardiff.....durrr who organises it on that day? :stupid:
I've been to my bosses reception a couple of Saturdays ago, have my mates this weekend and have another mate in July.
All I need now is a funeral (which after Saturday is looking likely) and I'll be that bloody film!!!! :baa:

Good news people,
Dont know if you wre aware but went through this whole saga of my wheels and damaging my veilside kit !!
Well he sent those wheels down as requested, gonna sell the old wheels and tyres to a MR2 or something, then buy the right set ie 265 on rear 235 on front !!
But for the minute have the 245's all round, I didnt realise how much of a difference it would make car feels so solid now
Anyway am telling you all this so it will now be ship-shape for the meet, as the veilside has been repaired too !!
Looking forward to it shammone !!!

Anyone else out there wanna join us? Come on, it'll be fun! :D
i will be there as long as i survive this weekend in france:D
where and when are we meeting on 20th:cool:
I live about 5~10 minutes drive away from the pub, so I'll aim to get there for opening (which I believe is 10am on Sundays, but I'll check) and I'll keep a watch out for any of you guys driving past. I suppose it's just turn up when you want to, but if it is hot and sunny then the areas going to get very busy around mid-day, so I'd recommend people getting there before 11am so we all get a parking space in the pub car park. Once there we can decide what to do next.
If anyone needs directions then please refer to an earlier post I did which included links to some detailed maps of how to get there from the motorway.
Apologies chaps can't make the meet - be sure to post on how it went and hopefully I'll make the next.
Rich
I need an incentive to get my (probable) hung over body out of bed and to this meet so here goes.
Just been talking with JohnK on MSN and we're thinking about going to the meet in convoy and was wondering if anyone else from the Soton area would care to join?
Thinking about meeting at the Sainsburys car park at Hedgend (Junction 7 - M27).
Aiming to get down there for about 11am so meet in car park (behind the petrol station) at about 10am? :conf:
Does this sound ok or is that gonna be waaaay too early?
P.S.
I like my licence so im not doing 200mph all the way!
:p
:baa:
I'm based in Aylesbury (Bucks), but if it's looking like a nice day I'll try and get down and say hello :)
Would be nice to see a dozen Supras in a pub car park.. definitely a good idea to go somewhere scenic and get some pictures of them all.
That'd be an impressive convoy too.. :)
-p
Well it looks like I'll be following all you TT owners then :( seeing as I'm a NA owner :baa:
Better get that map sorted out :D

Would be great if you can make it down pulse, long way to travel but fair play if you do make it :)
Well..
I've only had my mk4 for .. uuh .. 5 days now .. so would like to get to know some of you guys, as I plan on hanging around for a while :)
Shame the gf won't be able to make it down with me, but as I say, if it looks like it's going to be a nice day ...
Who needs an excuse for a long drive in the Supra? :)
Any rough guesses at how long the meet would go for?
Obviously not really worth driving 3 hours down for an hour meet to drive back again.. :cool:

Good point, I'm gonna be at a loose end all day, as in recovery mode :) will also want to get some food so will be at least eating down there.
Plus pictures which could take a while and at this point I'm rambling so ....... I'll stop :innocent:
Depends on what everyone else is upto as well.
It really depends on what everyone wants to do on the day. We could quite easily spend a few hours down the pub looking over the cars, a few drinks and a spot of lunch.
Then the general concensus is to go and get some decent photos taken. The beach would be an ideal place, but finding a car park down there empty enough for all of us to park next to one another will probably be wishfull thinking.
We may have to try a couple of carparks before we find a suitable one, but then a convoy of Supra's down by the beach is going to look smart and will definitely attract the attention of the "young ladies" down there, which will make the driving around worth while for those of us who's other halfs can't make it. :innocent:
www.weather.co.uk
Looking like showers and 22 all weekend (and, incidently, from Wednesday this week til Tuesday of next week).
:looney:
Maybe not the best picture and beach driving weather, I hope it turns out alright.. :D
If it's pissing with rain, there's probably no real point me going for the drive :( , but I'll try.
-p
That website is shite, had a look at that the other day, put my works postcode in and it showed a dark cloud. Walked outside to about 300 degree heat, not a cloud in the sky :mad:
Best to see what it's like on the day :cool:
I've just tried the BBC weather site and it shows it as being cloudy upto the weekend, but doesn't mention rain or thunder storms anywhere! :cool:
[cut, because this was accidently reposted, and because my payment hasn't been received yet or activated, i have no permission to delete my own post]

When you click 'reload' and it asks you if it can resend the information to server, after you've posted something recently..
click no.
:stupid:
i will be at Sainsburys car park at Hedgend about 10 :)
:cool:
Thats 3 of us then (as long as I can get up and get there in time), I've texted p00t today but had no reply as yet. Hopefully he'll be up for this :)
just to confirm still ok for this, 10ish at the pub, see you all there....
Looks like the weather (http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?id=3149&links) is going to be on our side this weekend. :)
Notice how on Monday (after I've spent Saturday making my car shine to show off on Sunday) the weather gets it's revenge for being nice and brings in more thunderstorms. :(
Can those not highlighted green or red just confirm if thet're comming this weekend. That way I wont be on the look-out for you driving past if your not comming! :p Cheers.

This (http://uk.weather.com/weather/local/UKXX0056?x=0&post=post&code=code&y=0) page agrees with you too :) You can pretty much count me in :)
Btw, did you find out if the pub opened at 10am on Sundays? I may be a little late.. if anybody is feeling generous, feel free to pm me your mobile number so I can get in touch if I am and you've moved on :)
-p
I could be late too as i've just this minute sold my 2nd car and need to put a few bob in the bank which doesn't open til 9.30am. Therefore looking like 11 will be the earliest i can get down.
If someone getting there on time could take down my no. 07760 264024 and also let me know if you move on.

Opps my bad, got a bit ahead of myself didn't i, thought it was tomorrow.
Looks like i'll be fine for 10am SUNDAY :D
that means you will have plenty of cash to buy me a beer for saving you a trip:D
sure does, i reckon you've earned it.
nice one see you there then:)
Where are you all its 10.10 and there's not a soul here :D
i will be a bit late about 24 hrs:D
see you tomorrow:cool:
Right, now I have to apologise to everyone as I've just phoned the pub and they don't open 'till 12 on Sundays. Yes I know, I should have checked earlier, but I was sooooo positive it opened at 10. :banghead: So we have two choices, either...
1) I quickly phone around and find another local pub that does open at ten and rearrange it for there, or
2) We turn up there anyway and then choose what to do, besides giving me a well deserved kicking! :twak:
It's up to you lot, but I'll start phoning around now. :)

Originally posted by millhouse

So I propose another option, we still go to The Old Ship but aim to get there for after 11. That way we're not hanging around too long before the pub opens. That gives us a chance to look around the motors, go get an ice cream or take some photos. I'll even get the ice creams in, how about that! :D
fine by me
sainsburys hedgend at 10 then
Hey Scooter are you coming down the A3M ?
We could hook up just after Petersfield and travel to the meet together from there.
Just to warn you all that although there are no permanent speed cameras on the routes I've plotted, it's not unheard of for speed traps be set-up in the area, especially along the sea front at this time of year - so keep your eyes peeled! ;)
That's okay, I put the radar detector into the car today ;)
Alright, I'm going to TRY and make it to the pub by 11am, shouldn't be any later than 12 if I am.
I drove 520 miles today (to the Welsh west coast and back:)) and it's starting to get a bit late and I'm quite knackered, so I'll go to sleep now and attempt to make it out in the morning :)
If you guys move on from the specified pub, can one of you throw me a text message?
0790 553 2947
cheers :)
-Tony
Just a quick note to say it was nice to meet all of you (again) and to say sorry I had to leave so soon without having chance to say bye to everyone.
nice one:cool:
it was good to meet up lots of new faces and cars to remember
we will have to do it again
Well cheers to everyone who turned up. The turn-out was better than I expected and I don't think we could have asked for better weather in the end. (Although my face, arms and neck all seem to be a lot redder than when I left home this morning! :cool: )
The convoy of Supra's leaving the pub for the beach looked brilliant in my mirrors. How many people had to look twice, three times, infact 10 times as we drove past them! :D
I've uploaded the few photo's I took onto my website here (http://www.lee-mawby.net/MonAlbum/index.php?id_rub=12).
Anyway, thanks again to everyone for comming. I'll get the ball rolling for the next meet down here soon if enough people are up for it. Like before I'll try and give people plenty of notice, and the suggestion of a bar-b-q next time also seems like a good idea.

One of them even shows the OAP's that stopped watching the Grand Prix just to have a look at our cars! :D I don't know if that's something to boast about or not actually. :conf:
Great to meet everyone and also great to put names to faces :cool:
A great turnout, great cars and great weather! I too am feeling a little bit :flame Dev round the back of my neck and face :D
Great convoy back when we left, also bumped into Sean Doyle who you flashed Mawby as we came round the corner, he met us at the Shell station.
He'd been to a gig in London the night before and didn't get in till 6am! He was a bit disappointed but I think he'll be there for the next one.
I'll get my photos uploaded onto my site tomorrow.

Here's (http://www.duncandriver.btinternet.co.uk/Supra/Hants.Meet.20JUL03/) a few compressed pics that'll hopefully be friendly to folks on dial-up.
This one's my fave :

Ah, look at all those wings :)
Yeah, was a shame Sean was late, but good to have met him (would've sucked if he was maybe 3 minutes later, we'd have missed him).
Nice to meet all of you, and had a great time chatting :) I'm definitely up for another one, especially if the weather is as good as today. I'm going to have a nice tan from today :)
I'll have my pictures online shortly (some 45 of them I think..), as soon as I drag them off my camera.

Yep good to meet up with everyone, i to am suffering the effects of the sun. Look forward to seeing a few of you again next weekend..........

My choice would be the Royal Victoria Country Park (http://www.hants.gov.uk/countryside/rvcp/) mainly because there web site has a lot more information than the Queen Elizabeth Country Park (http://www.hants.gov.uk/countryside/qecp/) one, including prices for Bar-b-q's which is...
The park has three barbecues for hire. Two large ones which cater for up to 100 people and one small one which caters for up to 25 people.
Barbecues may be booked throughout the summer. Each barbecue is available for two sessions a day: 11am - 5pm and 6pm - 11pm.
The large BBQs are available for hire at £40 each per session. Small BBQs are £20. This hire charge includes the BBQ, seating, car parking and toilet facilities. It does not include food and charcoal.
For more information, please contact the park office 023 8045 5157.
As something like this needs to be booked in advance, we might want to get this organised sooner rather than later. At least I've found out what time they open before the day before! :D

Gutted I couldn't make it to this one in the end, looks like it was a good meet :(
I'll look out for the next one..... :)
Just uploaded my photos after extensive rework of my site.
Pics can be found here (http://www.mwhite.dsl.pipex.com/gallerylee.htm) :)
The last two photos are of Sean Doyles car after he met us in the Shell garage :cool:

Doh, well I only stopped because I wanted some fags, p00t pulled up next to a pump and by the time I got out of the shop Sean had pulled up, didn't have your number so couldn't tell you to stop.
We also saw another Silver supra pass us as we were talking, not sure if it was anyone from the meet though?
Ah well, next time should be even better :)
the barbecue idea at Victoria Country Park looks good
mawby do you want to start a new thread for the next meet
is everyone ok with 17/08/03
what time do you think
11am - 5pm or 6pm - 11pm
Certainly will do. I'll put down both the 17th and 24th and we'll go with which ever is best for the most people, if that's alright?
I'll also check to make sure no other big events are happening on these days.
As for the starting time, I'd say 10am sounds good... I'll get me coat! :D Seriously though, given it's a Sunday and alot of people will have work Monday morning (including me!) I think going during the day would be more suited than the evening.
if its a sunday the day would be better

You picked up your own camera in the end, then? :D
Nice pics mate :) Mine will be a bit longer coming as I'm really quite a lazy bastard and all that number plate removal looks like hard work.. they're basically the same as everybody else's anyway, except I got each car from the front and back as well (hence plate removal nightmare).
I'll get to it soon enough.
As for the bbq meet, I'm definitely up for this. My girlfriend should be over from the states during the mentioned periods in August, however I'm sure she'd be up for a bbq somewhere nice.

Nice site Jive, simple yet effective, just the way I like em. Almost makes me feel like not being so lazy and sorting my own out... Almost ;)
Ok, I've started the next mini-meet thread here. (http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10575) If your interested in going then please put your name down. Hopefully I'll see some familar faces there. :D
Oh, and this time can someone post a message the day before telling me to put some sun block on... my necks killing me! :flame Dev

Haha....yeah that was extremely embarrasing, sorry about that! :conf:
Surprised you didn't :twak: me for just casually reaching into your car, opening your centre console storage area and just picking you camera up to use :innocent:
I thought the plate removal was going to be a nightmare but my mate at work told me how to do it fairly quickly in photoshop. Use the outline tool and then goto Filter > Blur > Guasian Blur and then just adjust the amount of blur you want :)

Cheers Thorin :D
It's only taken me about 5 days of not doing anything at work but just working on that to get to what I like. Going on the Dreamweaver course certainly kick started that all off :)
Must say a big thanks to my mate Ben who's done all the sorting of the graphics :thumbs:
Anyone who went to this meet fancy going to either...
Ultimate Street Car '03 - Sun 10th Aug (http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8593)
or...
Sussex Meet - Sat 16th Aug (http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=10450)
I'll problably be going to both and it would be good to have a little convoy going, giving how smart that looked at the weekend! :D
i will come to the sussex meet:cool:
i'm going away 8 - 10 aug:mad:
