As dedicated as doing a 320 mile round trip?

What time are you likely to be finishing up? I finish work at 6 and may have picked up a new car tomorrow evening, it'd be a nice chance to give it a little test drive. I guess everyone'll have gone home by this time though.

You happen to be in the middle of wessex motor club territory, so this site may be handy for finding pubs.

hedge end?! thats like a million miles away!!! you could have done the tesco hypermarket in shirley (car park is massize and towards the back its virtually ALWAYS empty)

(plus if i go to hedge end i'll have to take the pda and tom tom to get there otherwise i'll get lost

)

[TW]Fox · 20 Jan 2006 at 11:34

A million miles away? It's a 15 minute drive if that, honestly I'm driving up from Plymouth and you complain about having to go from Southampton to Hedge End?

I would have dragged myself out for this but I'm down in Bournemouth saturday night... not that that's a bad thing!

You could have all seen how a 6ft 9 person shoe horns himself into a 206

Sounds like a laugh, count me in too. Mine will be the most rubbish car there though, please be gentle

Also I live in grange park in hedge end so its literally one minute away from me

Meeting up with old Uni mates around 2pm in Bournemouth so I wouldnt have a great deal of time to chat to everyone and have a bit of a drive. That and Hedge End on a Saturday :eek:

...are you mad

I think the FREE Rover could be the most rubbish car there.

But it was (almost) FREE and I have a buyer for it at £400 so I don't really care

Well it cost me:

Car - £0
Parts - £36
MOT - £44.15
6 Months Tax - £60.50
VIC - £36

TOTAL = £176.65

Not bad considering it now has 12months MOT and 6months Tax!

L0rdMike · 20 Jan 2006 at 14:36

Going to wash my car quick before this meet

F355 · 20 Jan 2006 at 15:00

Right, the latest details.

The pub location has been sorted out the address is:

Roebuck Inn
Droxford Road
Wickham
Hampshire
PO17 5AY

Its 8 miles (less than 15 mins) from the meeting place but worth it. It has a small but adequate car park, beer garden and serves good food.

Well, the car is cleaned and half polished now.. Also sporting a nifty dual air horn too :cool:

Ian, any chance swinging past mine on your way to Eastleigh, since I live pretty much in your path anyway! Not sure how long I'll hang around tbh, it all depends on whether its good *car-mechanics* weather..

We shall see

L0rdMike · 20 Jan 2006 at 16:55

I washed my car quickly so anyone who says I missed a spot gets a slap.
