Its been about 2 years since we had the last cruise to West End, It was such a great fun, we used to meet up in Chiswick (Chiswick high str) outside Cafe rouge and drive to West End - Make everyone drool, we used to end up somewhere in Soho!!. I was thinking to organise this cruise for 15th of February which is a Thursday and start meeting and gathering together around 19:30. Who would be up for this?

terribleturner

01-02-07, 16:23

I remember 2 years ago we had gone after Soho to Sports cafe and you can't imagine what happened! the whole bar(including the top floor got stuck on the windows and they all start taking pics. Actually its a very good idea!
I think we need somewhere else after all the tickets that were given out last time. I'd say Cafe Italia what ever it's called on Greek street but the wardens were all over the place last time as well. Maybe we should think of somewhere else?? Not sure where though.

lui

01-02-07, 16:36

What's it like for parking up along the embankment at night quite a few river boat bars along there. Not to far from Soho / West End. Just a thought for going to after cruisng around centre of London, we will need spaces for 10+ cars or more.

terribleturner

01-02-07, 17:07

lui

01-02-07, 17:11

The idea Lui of going into Soho is it's just rammed with people who will stop and take pictures and love the effect of 10-15 supras cruising past. Im sure i have a few video's of past events somewhere.
http://www.terribleturner.co.uk/galleries/westenderz04/

I'll post a video later to get people in the mood :D

Must go through streets of Soho & Piccadilly first then off to the Embankment if parking along the Thames Riverside is fine as we need no more parking tickets this time round get some nice photo shots of all of us by the London Eye & Big Ben too ;)

terribleturner

01-02-07, 17:14

But Embankment will be quite wont it?? It's more of a cruise than a static meet. Which reminds me, if people can remember to bring radios as it will get intresteing at parts.

It doesn't just have to be soho - what about some drifting round parliament sq :d then wake up tony blair with a blast up whitehall to trafalgar sq then up & down the strand round the aldwych, over to piccadilly (get a bit of speed up there AND thru the tunnel under hyde park corner) to knightsbridge where there might be the odd ferarri to show us up :sly: etc etc
As for parking x10 cars in one place i doubt it, unless you count something like NCP here (http://www.ncp.co.uk/multimapform.aspx?client=ncp_xml&width=500&db=gb&height=290&X=528546&Y=181263&scale=10000&themode=3&type=zoom)

fastisnice

01-02-07, 20:17

We don't have to park in Soho, well this will be almost impossible..Traffic wankers are all over Soho looking to make some money. Its a cruise so driving around places to have a laugh from reactions, enjoy the night. We can drive through soho and other places in west end( picadilly, Shaftesbury avenue, Regent Str etc), later on stop for few mins by sports cafe, line up all the sups get some pics(this is possible as there aren't any traffic ws round there, then if we wish to go for a quick drink, don't forget its a thursday and we can get loads of parking round there..There will be plenty of spaces (single yellow line) but obviously will be impossible park "legally" all ours cars together..its up to us to decide what we want to do towards the end of the cruise..I do think its a good idea to all have a drink after the cruise. By the river will be pointless as there aren't any people.
+
"speed up there AND thru the tunnel under hyde park corner) to knightsbridge where there might be the odd ferarri to show us up etc etc"... YES!! on the way back we can go through the tunnel towards knightsbridge!!! thats an excellent idea+fun.

The sports bar is a double yellow Costas, as Ro and a few others found out last time when they got tickets.

There was only 6 cars in the end but it was still a laugh and SO MANY people took pictures and stared... quite unbelievable really. Best part of the night for me was the EXTREMELY LOUD drive thru the tunnel under hyde park corner.... worst part was waiting for an hour in the cold for Lui to have his pic taken for Max Power with some supermodels...

supra_surj

16-02-07, 00:43

WOW what a night!!! I gotta say it was great meeting you guys face to face.

Costas (fastisnice) your supe is just amazing mate!!! Sounded soo nice driving behind you and watching those flames shoot out the back. People in london were going crazy, taking pics, stopping to watch us go by. Madness!
Lui you lucky man! We cruised through leciester sq and guess what... there was a max power photo shoot going on. Well they chose Lui's car for a shoot right there and then. Hope you enjoyed the models mate! lol!!

Mas hope you made it home ok mate.
P111ddy your NA sounds the nuts!
Hogmaw didnt see you pick up any models...what happened? hehe!

Brilliant night guys! But ended quite sadly for me. Got pretty much home and started getting a loud whining sound from the engine. Could feel vibrations through the pedals, steering wasn't as smooth.
Checked under the bonnet, there a whinning or screeching sound coming from where the cam belt is. Do you think this maybe on the way out?

How long to cam belts last as it was "apparantly" changed by the importer last jan.

Anyways was a great day out!

Surj

Mas

16-02-07, 01:26

very nice to see some of you guys tonight , I really enjoyed it, we should have more of this again soon ;)

hope every one got back ok, well it took me over hour and half to get home cos I lost the way even with sat nav :D

EDIT: Surj mate, take the car to Mark @ phoenix and Im sure he will sort it out in the best way for you, take his number from my sig

supra_surj

16-02-07, 01:36

Thanks for that Mas...only problem is would be safe to drive up there from kent? could get it picked up but that'll cost an arm n a leg.

Should do another night like this.

Mas

16-02-07, 01:46

I think Mark can sort some pick us for you, give him a call and Im sure he does his best to help. good luck mate and hope its nothing too serious

supra_surj

Nice one mate! been reading up on it and made another post where its been suggested it could be the crank pulley. I will get this check asap.

Cheers :)

fastisnice

16-02-07, 04:00

First of all it was very nice indeed meeting u all and......................................
WOW to an incredible fun night, whoever didn't come, u guys missed out an amazing fun night. We ended up in West end by Cafe de Paris were Lui had his car as the main event(well done-very nice paint job by the way) for Max Power.
Then as we were freezing waiting for Lui to finish, we chat to girls(well Wayne did ), i got challenged to race an evo MR for money but i thought it will be like stealing from a church. Traffic wardens were passing by telling us how awesome are our cars and we shouldnt worry about tickets!!!!!. A bunch of guys were squizing into my car thanx to Wayne trying to get pictures. ALL West end people just went completely mad taking pictures and losing it as we rumbled by (i even thought we got bit too much attention!!). We all ended up doing a moving shoot out for Max Power going round a route by Picadilly circus which will be published in May's with our pics in it!!.

Wayne- you are a born pro comedian man, I laughed so much

Supra_surj,its a shame u have trouble, could be the crank pulley, if it is best get a boost logic one dont bother with standard.
Check if the front V-Belt is in place and if u getting all the hazards lights coming up on your dashboard. Whatever you do dont drive it, will drain your battery in mins and also water pump is not working!! so not good.

PS i will post some pics tomorrow im so tired now.
Thanx all for coming, looking fwd to the next one.

supra_surj

16-02-07, 08:56

Hi mate thanks for the advice. im not driving the car,getting it checked 1st thing next week. hope its not an expensive job.
great night in all. didnt like those speed bumps though.hehe!

Lukeyboy2k

16-02-07, 09:15

Gutted I didn't turn up (had to work late and tbh my car is filthy and needs a few things sorting - lights, dents etc :( ). If there is another similar event soon I'll definitely be there - I only work round the corner from Chiswick. ;)

16-02-07, 12:16

Lads what can I say last night was great night and a great laugh too! Nice to put some more faces to names. I couldn’t get over the amount of people telling me not to move, as they wanted a pic of the car!:d this surely has to be arranged again!

Well done Lui for getting a feature shoot & fastisnice for starting this meet up again :thumbs: & also :thumbs:for one seriously fast and lovely car! Supra surj sorry to hear bout your problem while going home fella hope it’s not too expensive to fix! & I hope its not a common thing to happen for supras leaving these ends to go Kent coz im doing that run myself this afternoon!

Once again thanks all for a top night and I look forward to them pics!!
