The red 850R saloon in Canterbury, is that not Matt ( Bobcat )who used to come on here ?

[t5lover]

[y2blade]

i would be up for a canterbury meet once i'm able to drive again (broken right foot so cant drive for the time being :( )

i visit family in kent about once a month so would be cool to coincide a visit with a mini meet :)

i'll keep an eye out for future canterbury meets once i'm back behind the wheel :) cafe uno (i think thats what its called, used to be a pub..at the end of the road the sportsman cafe is on..wincheap) does a good breakfast :D

:) you could say that


the cafe along longport is about 5 buildings along from the newsagents iirc

we have been in that one the last 2 times as its just down the road from my grandads house so nice and easy for us the breakfasts are good but the bubble and squeek isnt as good as the sportsmans :) i prefere the sportsman tbh or cafe uno for easy parking but the city can be a pain in the arse to get across

catch you guys soon , have a good meet and take some pics

and yeah as t5lover says good size car park so easyer to use than the sportsman

[t5lover]

the is a cafe uno in city center mate,, cafe solo is a really nice place like i said before good parking to the sportsman u have to run in and run before the traffic warden gives u a ticket lol!!

[Niles]

T5slave txt'd to confirm he can't come along due to the evil of work.

there are to many cafes in the city :)

the one i ment (cafe solo/uno?) is the one at the far end of wincheap (near the traffic lights) with the decent size gravel car park at the side of it ... it used to be a pub and has a fit waitress :)
