Sportsmaserati.com FOURTH MEET - The Malt Shovel Friday August 6th

[duncscot]

I gave mine a very quick going over earlier.... I cant believe the amount of brake dust you get when you have new pads in!!!

 

[conaero]

So is everyone (thats going)..... revved up for the meet today!!

Yes mate, the traffic on the M25 will be a pig being Friday afternoon, it was last time so allow extra time.

Dont make the mistake we all did and drive down the narrow lane that runs along the canal in front of the pub, just after the hump back bridge. For sure it looks very pretty, but there is no room to turn round so you have to reverse up hill, onto a blind road on a hump back bridge.....the smell of clutch last time was terrible.

There is a big open car park to one side.

I did the wheels and interior yesterday, so I only have to give it a quick wash and to be honest, the weather is looking a bit pants, no rain yet here on the South Coast, but its threatening to.

I am going to leave home about 1pm so traffic permitting will be there by 3 as the sat nav is quoting 1.5hrs.

 

[duncscot]

Its about an hours drive for me (so says AA route planner). However, Ive got the dreaded M25 contra flow to contend with, but hopefully it will be before any of the rush hour traffic starts. Wheather up here is looking quite good Matt, so we should avoid the rain at Uxbridge

 

[conaero]

Excellent, I dont think we are going to get too many more opportunities to sit outside this year, recon August is going to be very autumn like.

 

[reservoirfrog]

I want to take photos, cars with their owners, to post. so make sure you wash.
yourselves that is, I know the cars will be clean

 

[conaero]

Ok, ill make sure I put my make up on right this time.

 

[duncscot]

By the way Matt.... I was looking on place finder for the pub (with the satelite view), and I could see theres a pub carpark.... but couldnt see the actual car park entrance!!

 

[conaero]

See below, the entrance is where the circle is. Do not go down the canal path in front of the pub, marked with an X

 

[duncscot]

Ah many thanks Matt.... I saw the narrow path you mentioned, but couldnt see the actual entrance for the trees

 

[DonnyMac]

I'll see you all this afternoon - sorry for being a slacker...
D.

 

[duncscot]

Looks like theres gonna be around 15 cars at the Malt.... must bring my camera

See you there.

 

[duncscot]

Do you know what the make up of cars attending will be Matt? I.e. numbers of 32's, 42's, QP's etc etc

 

[conaero]

Guys, if you go here you can download a free drink voucher for any meal ordered:

Ill print out a load and bring them with me....oh, cant, you have to do it yourself.

I dont know what the make up of cars are, but if its anything like last time, you will be fed up of SILVER masers by the end of the day.

I would expect, 3 GS's, 3 42's, 3 32's, 1 GTS, and a couple of QP's

 

[mgreenaw]

Thanks for the email - I've not checked the forum in a while, so I'm going to stop all this nonsense about dozens be they dirty or baked, and be number 14 on the list.

I would expect, 3 GS's, 3 42's, 3 32's, 1 GTS, and a couple of QP's

and 1 Ghibli GT

And a partridge in a pear tree ....
