el richy · 02-02-2006, 14:11

nathan · 02-02-2006, 20:07

hey im back again have i missed much ill come exter be cool to meet up have 2 get me car out tho ant used it for weeks now lol poor old thing

devonutopia · 03-02-2006, 11:13

If anyone wants an Exmouth Briskoda meet, I'd happily arrange one. But it usually really IS a last minute thing based on a good forecast, the day before.

This is usually how it happens with my local chums anyway.

I've made the decision to go only a couple of hours before leaving sometimes.

Any big meet down here will be reliant on some better conditions, so may be saved for kind of May onwards.

el richy · 03-02-2006, 14:38

humm i dunno what we should do then, i dont really mind a few hours notice cus its onna sunday but im easy going really!!

nathan · 03-02-2006, 17:07

hey im back again have i missed much can i come 2 ya meet?

nathan · 03-02-2006, 17:13

hey devonutopia you anywhere near newton abbot because thats where i live and it would be cool 2 tag along if ya having a day out

el richy · 06-02-2006, 14:14

shall we all just crash it but we need to have more skodas than seats haha

devonutopia · 06-02-2006, 14:40

I think the whole seat meeting there has gone down the pan.

el richy · 07-02-2006, 13:44

then i feel we have a skoda meet planned

devonutopia · 10-02-2006, 13:54

OK OK, quick update I've found on a cruising site down here (See? they are useful sometimes

)

The Seat meet is still on... BUT, its now Seat meetS.

After going their seperate ways it would appear now Seatenthusiasts and Cupranet are now doing their own things on the same day... at the same time. So I propose we STILL have a small gathering of Skodas and we can drive between the 2 meets and do whatever.

So, Who's up for a little gathering on the 26th then? I propose meeting at Exeter Services at 11am, which is earlier than either meet is due to start - I'll get a little route to go for a spin around the countryside there + a pub for a little photoshoot, and the Seat meets are due to kick off around 1pm and 2pm.

1) Jason - devonutopia.

Tigger_1979 · 10-02-2006, 14:52

ooo a Gathering Reminds me of Highlander

can we chop there heads off

I'll bring an axe just for you.

Get your name down on the list then.

el richy · 13-02-2006, 14:41

1) Jason - devonutopia.
2)Rich - EL Richy

im up this lets get it off the ground then!!

BeezerDiesel · 14-02-2006, 06:54

Just a further update from SCN: the SEAT only meet seems to be staying put at the Moto Services J30, BUT the general VAG owners seem to have deemed to be going to overwhelm the car park there and have now got permission to use the Park & Ride at Marsh Barton, so it looks like it's all on the move!

1) Jason - devonutopia.
2)Rich - EL Richy
3) Andy - BeezerD, if I'm not working

devonutopia · 14-02-2006, 10:04

Last i heard, Enthusiats were staying at the Services, but SCN had organised the park & ride to stay open until 5pm, instead of its usual 1pm.

I think we'll just wander around aimlessly between and around the 2.

danregs · 15-02-2006, 10:33

hi guys

i'm the guy that is organising the event that's happenening at the park & ride on the 26th

firstly, its not an SCN meet, it is open to ALL VAG and I would love it if all you skoda enthusiasts would come along!

secondly, there have been MANY rumours going around about this meet and I'd like to set everyone straight. I am hoping that there will be NO c.h.a.v.s turning up because I don't want idiots doing wheelspins and handbrake turns around the car park thinking that they are "cool". The event has been organised with the full support of the Devon & Cornwall Police, and the Park & Ride has been opened up especially for this event by the Exeter City Council. Hopefully all the people that turn up will be genuine enthusiasts and will just park up and enjoy meeting new people and looking round all the other cars that have turned up. I've had interest from about 200 people from VAG Clubs and Forums all over the Southwest - so I'm expecting maybe 100 to 150 to actually turn out on the day.

Thirdly, I had a phonecall from the local paper yesterday and he seemed particularly interested in the fact that Skoda's were included in this event as he didn't even know there was a "Skoda Enthusiast" scene in England! So this is your chance to show him that there is! And, you might even get a special mention in the article! He is coming down on the day to take some photos and have a wonder around.

I hope that loads of you guys will make it along!

Cheers,
Dan

Hi Dan

Thanks for yourpost, that makes it much clearer.

For the record, can you confirm a programme for the meet?

All the Best
Chris

devonutopia · 15-02-2006, 11:51

Hi Dan

Would that be the Express & Echo? Or the Daily Star?

danregs · 15-02-2006, 13:31

lol

the Express & Echo!!!

and regarding the programme for the day....

It will start between 1pm and 2pm - i think most people are getting there for 2pm because this was the time of the original meet.

It is at Matford Park & Ride in Marsh Barton Industrial Estate and is easily accessible from both the M5 and the A30.....

On the day, the basic idea is for everyone to park up, have a look around all the cars that have turned up, make some new friends with the same interest as you, and have a nice chilled afternoon surrounded by VAG cars! I think most clubs attending are planning on doing photoshoots at some point and there will be many, many people (including the press) wondering around with cameras it seems.

I'm hoping that I might be able to get a charity down to collect some loose change - but they will be asked to simply "hang around" and not hound people for donations as I know how annoying this could be to people attending!

oh and I'm hoping that there will be enough genuine enthusiasts there that IF we do get any idiots turn up with intent of "showing off" then they will be simply frowned upon and will leave of their own free will! (because this is a free event and nobody is making any profit so we have no in-house security - only the support of Marsh Barton security and the police)

What does everyone think? Are you guys up for it?

el richy · 15-02-2006, 14:09

sounds like a winner to me i will be there 100% it sounds like a right giggle to me, i see your point about the **** thing but i dont think that they will be interested as there with be skoda's seats etc etc and no citroens etc etc

so what is the general time us skoda 'mob' going to arrive, maybe we need to be fashionably late haha

nice that the seat lot and us lot are working together makes everything easier

BeezerDiesel · 15-02-2006, 17:02

Photos? Did someone mention photos? That mean I'll have to clean the car?
And there's no way I'm going in the local rag next to a Skoda! Lambo maybe, but not a Skoda!!!!! LOL

Anyway, nice to see you over here on the other side Dan, Simon from SCN said he bumped into you the other week in Exeter.

danregs · 15-02-2006, 17:11

hehe thanks!

and yeh bumped into simon the other night. seems like a really nice guy! can't wait to meet some more of the VAG guys from around here

BeezerDiesel · 15-02-2006, 17:17

Just hope this isn't like the SCN meet when only myself and Simon showed up, 'cos I see his ugly mug every day!
