Meeting Time

Tesco store
Sizer Way
Dibden

@Absolution Without being too much of a "Vanlife Wanker", I'm going to try to camp in Vera for free as a much as possible.

But I'll pop down to Ashurst and get a pitch for a night if you fancy some company, beers, and nerding out about Japan, Elgrands & Anime?

That sounds like a plan. You wont miss us :)
 
Bit late, but the posts about Beaulieu 2018 has prompted me to say, thanks for such a great day last year. There was one person there (and I'm sorry I've forgotten your name) who put forward the idea of a group driving holiday. Suggested itinerary of France, Spain, Monaco, Andorra, driving in convoy and staying/camping/over night-ing at the same locations. I'm just wondering if that idea is still out there. If so I would be interested. Can anyone prompt me as to who suggested it? Or please reveal yourself. :)

If it's something you would be interested in, please feel free to start a thread and see what interest is out there for it. Being a group thing, I doubt it will be organised entirely by one person, you'd need to do it as a group.

I know I would LOVE to do this myself, but no way can I afford it for a good long while. Great idea though :)
 
We did a Elgrand meet at Beaulieu a few years ago with the old " Ning " club group. I was a tad peeved off though as the organisers there decided to hide us all away in a top over grown field about 15 mins walk away from the main event arena which was NOT GOOD.

Will this meet actually be in the main grounds hard standing area of the place or indeed up in the field full of cow poo!!!

This is a thread for an old meet mate, not sure who is organising it this year. Last year there were plenty of Elgrand's there, and they were on grass, but seemed to be in the middle of it all. Can't comment though as I wasn't there.

Ok Karl, no doubt someone will know and come along soon to clarify. Cheers

I've had thoughts on this before too. We travel to the south of France every summer and last year I met a big group of people with really nice flash cars taking part in the #purerally. What they did was drive to 5 major cities over the course of a week and have a party at each destination. They started at London and went Paris, Holland, Belgium then south 0f France and across to Barcelona to finish. Sounded like great fun and looked awesome seeing all the cars cruising along together! But obviously not cheap when you take into account fuel for an Elgrand. Would certainly consider doing it if enough people wanted to go, (not this year cause holiday already booked) and it would take a fair bit of planning to get sites booked in advance for everyone. But definitely one to think about 👍😁

Logistical nightmare my friend.:cold_sweat:
 
It would be a logistically challenging but someone at Beaulieu last year had done something similar before as a member of a different car group and had experience of it. There were 21 Elgrands there last year so should be possible to work out who it was eventually.

Last year we were on the grass but only a short stroll from the main event/museum. I thought it was a good spot and lots of people stopped by on their way past.
 
Logistical nightmare my friend.:cold_sweat:

Doable though. I know the UKLegacy guys have done a series of "Epic Runs" which have involved driving around most of Europe, always passing "the ring" for a bit of fun.
