Exotic Car Meet Sunday, 19th Sept The Bickley Arms Hotel, Bickley, Kent

[Dan E]

Ok all, my wife pointed out that a guy on NextDoor has arranged a classic car meet as detailed below. I am going with the TE be good if any of the local or not local Lotus boys and girls could make it. 
The poor guy got slated by a load of people saying it wasn’t green and we should think of the planet so be good to give him some support also apparently a XJ220 is turning up. Let me know if you can make it, it starts at 10am then a road trip to Sevenoaks pub for lunch and a pint

Changed title from ‘Classic car meet’ to ‘Exotic car meet’.

@ChrisJ what your thinking about this......

[ChrisJ]

I can't make the times - hockey season will have started. Got no problem if others want to make the trip the September meet.

I live around the corner so if I’m free I will come along. I have a track day on Saturday but might have time to wash the car. Although the exige isn’t really classic.

Tony it’s not a classic car meet it’s more exotic cars so the Exige will definitely fit in. I should maybe adjust the title 👍

[thebartman]

I'd like to turn up - just depends on getting the SIlver Greyhound running agian !!!

[Dan E]

Turn up sounds like a load of dancing donkeys. Happy to do some bacon rolls and coffee at my house beforehand which is a 3 min drive away 

[Sparky]

Gin?

[thebartman]

If you're going @Sparky - and it's beer-o-clock, i'll set off now and walk there 😂

Just curious you can make it to Dan's but can't fix my dog 😉 

[Sparky]

Dammit, Julian, I'm a mechanic, not a veterinarian.

[thebartman]

 A bit picky ( about the "Jason Statham: Mechanic bit) , but I'll bring a Gin you've never had before ...

Over to you ...  ( and no cambelt either - lucky b*5tard)

Oh, and you are a Veteran-anian   🙂

Obvs 😀

[Sparky]

It's all gone Pete Tong anyway, as the GT3 is broken.  😭

[Dan E]

Something you can’t fix in 27 days? 

[Sparky]

Probably.  Blame @Bling

Anyhow, perfection takes time.  The GT3 is my Sistine Chapel.

[pete]

Think you are taking the Michael Angelo 

[Chillidoggy]

Sistine Chapel, my arse. The Watford Exotics works van, more like.

[Sparky]

I don't have to come here for abuse.  I get plenty from Tracy.

Like the sound of that 

[Dan E]

Come along 👍

[thebartman]

sounds fab - room for a "G" TE ? 😉

@ChrisJ  @TonyKL @thebartman @faye2000 

 

To all the above and anyone else that was considering coming this event it has been cancelled!! Apparently lots of people have dropped out as it might rain, I mean FFS!! One said that his car was impossible to drive in the rain 🤣. I can only assume it is on slicks. 

Most of the others didn't want to get their cars wet, not sure how they wash them then. 

Sorry all, I was only trying to support a local new meet but from now on I don't think I will bother with it. Annoying as i got the TE MOT'd and taxed yesterday so i could take it the 800yards to it, it is now sitting on my drive in sun and rain as the garage is full of builders stuff, lets hope it survives 😂

[Bibs]

They must all own Trabants!! 

[Sparky]

@Dan E meet you at Essendon then?

[Dan E]

Sparkles would love to but ………… the very slight issue that it currently has a meltdown whenever it gets hot, this would not be an issue but the, ahem, garage that looks after it,as always, the warranty has just run out and has new preferred customers
