UK M3 Meet

Phoenix 21st · 09-05-2008, 02:31 AM

i work in London but live in Maidstone Kent. I say London due to our US friends who only relate to the big cities

booforty · 09-05-2008, 03:30 AM

Your not that far away mate. If you know any good locations for photos nearer you, I'm sure it won't be a problem.

I've driven to the Lake District recently and driving to the Nurburgring this weekend so driving a couple more junctions around the M25 is not a problem

I'll ask my mate Tony (a photographer and 335i owner) of some good photographic locations in the Surrey/Kent area.

dar2008 · 09-05-2008, 03:39 AM

Sorry you can't make this one berb... as our cars are virtually identical, we could have got the others to play 'spot the difference'

As Phoenix is in Maidstone, can I suggest another location, somewhere in-between?

How about the Grasshopper Inn on the A25, just outside Westerham? Postcode (TN16 2EU)...

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl...,0.023389&z=15

It's an old pub/restuarant and has a very large car-park with good backdrops for photos. There are also loads of good roads and pubs/restaurants in nearby villages,... thinking Pratts Bottom, Badgers Mount,... no seriously, Shoreham village, Biggin Hill, Westerham itself.

Let me know your thoughts.

David.

David,

Good suggestion! The Grasshopper Inn sounds ideal to me and Westerham is beautiful! Played golf there not long ago. Hopefully convenient for Phoenix and the Don too?

So current attendees for Sunday 21st September are:

Booforty
Phoenix 21st
dar2008
DonM3

Should be fun guys!

DonM3 · 09-05-2008, 04:48 AM

Have to agree with Phoenix. Its a bit far for me too. Over an hours drive for me. I'm in E london.

DonM3 · 09-05-2008, 05:10 AM

So whos handy with a camera?

booforty · 09-05-2008, 05:38 AM

I will see if my mate Tony is free. He has cases of camera's, lenses and equipment costing ££££'s. Will speak to him at the Ring this weekend...

dar2008 · 09-05-2008, 05:41 AM

Let's hope that summer's just a bit late this year and we get some good weather!

Me too. Look forward to it. Maybe the photo guy can PS all the rain / bad weather out

Phoenix 21st · 09-09-2008, 02:53 AM

If we get some good shots we might make it into T-Bones calendar.

dar2008 · 09-09-2008, 03:29 AM

If Paul can get his photo mate along, then I'm sure they will be outstanding. Looking forward to seeing your tints Phoenix,... haven't tinted mine yet, but am keen to see how it looks.

booforty · 09-09-2008, 12:53 PM

Back from the Ring, I know dar2008 has seen my pics but here's a few for the rest of you

Tony said he'll do his best to come along and take some pics for us... If not, I can take some pics

e90330msport · 09-10-2008, 08:14 AM

Booforty, that is one nice looking car. Makes me wish I had gone for SSII.

Great pics

AW is gorgeous though!! Can you join the meet on Sun 21st September? Looks like you are not far from Westerham

e90330msport · 09-10-2008, 11:20 AM

I may well be able to make it yes, Westerham is only 30 mins up M20 for me.

I wil put in my diary, what time you meeting?

booforty · 09-10-2008, 11:27 AM

There was a preference to meet in the afternoon from one member, but a meet time hasn't been discussed in any detail yet. What works best for you?

DonM3 · 09-10-2008, 11:53 AM

An early afternoon time is preferable for me too

dar2008 · 09-11-2008, 03:20 AM

Any time is good for me,... well, not 6am obviously,...yeah, early afternoon sounds good

Phoenix 21st · 09-11-2008, 03:30 AM

Good for me too. E90330msport, where in Kent are u?
