Softies meet 23/6/13

[stribo]

As national BKV and a meet at North Weald are on the 16th, who's up for a Softies meet on the 23rd June, at the normal place, at the normal time?

[M-R-P]

Me! I might even bring the sweed lol

[stribo]

I should hope so, if you bring the Starlet, you'll be banished to the other end of the car park. :P

Oh, I see... Waynes exxon valdese vag is ok, Mike's beemer is acceptable but my slow, tiny engined, automatic, microcar can't join the fun...

...fair enough lol

[stribo]

Waynes VAG is always parked away from the Volvos, and as far as I know Mike hasn't made it to a Softies meet yet, but would be banished as well for being a to55er.;)

[M-R-P]

Mike made it in the old M3 a long time ago, and a chap with a FQ360. the FQ was directed to the other side of the car park but the beemer just landed in a space next to Chris' S70 lol.

I think if you bring the §§§§let, Rob will take a large blunt instrument to it. ;)

[V70 Graham]

We could always try and beat our record on 'how many can you get in a Starlet'

Just back from another great 'Softies' meet, nice to meet Mike (non Volvo :o), Jim and Belinda for the first time, lovely C70 rag top you have there.

Had a very good turnout and around 15 of us stopped to have some food and drink, helped by the vouchers no doubt.....£5.00 for 2 XXL burgers !!

Our first Meet and it was nice to meet such a friendly, helpful bunch of people, fortunately, most of them were called Steve, which made remembering names so much easier :D

I came away with a shopping list a mile long, a boot full of Cranberry juice and Crunchy Nuts (have some ointment for those at home) and clean indicator lenses :)

Saw some nice motors and met some forum 'legends' :) Thanks to Martin for 'pace making' on the way up, hope the better half is on the mend.

For any other Noobs out there, I would strongly recommend attending one of these meets, thanks again guys for the warm welcome :)
