Winter Meet London

Hi guys... I have never been to a meet before and it seems our friends from the USA are very good at this. So I wanted to take some suggestions for a possible meet somewhere in London... if its this winter, somewhere that we can get some coffee to keep warm.

Ok the date is SATURDAY 23rd Jan 2010 8pm at South Mimms Service station car park.

Ok so far we have...

Count me in. How about Ace Cafe?, off the A406, NW10. Hot food and drinks served. Thats my suggestion but happy to go with the crowd. Just hope the weather improves for it. Guess we have a long wait then!

According to the Ace Cafe website it seems as though nothing is posted for a BMW meet let alone an M3 meet from now till February. I think it needs a V8 roar down there!

Ok guys.. new developments.. the fridays that we were hoping for are fully booked and same for saturdays...
They said the best day would be a Sunday evening around 8pm because even if they do have anything on they will be done by 6 or 7pm.
So shall we say Sunday 24th Jan???

Or there is a McDonalds drive through near by where we can meet anytime

Either date sounds good to me, there are two McDonalds nearby, one on the A406, near to Ikea (near to a dodgy estate) and the other is in Wembley Park,the safer option, on the way to the stadium. Just a thought but what about over that weekend but during the day at the Ace?..only because it might be warmer if nothing else........

What about a meet on a Saturday at evolve in Luton, nice blap up the m1 or down for any one up north of Luton, sure the lads at evolve would be up for it and they have a unit if it gets cold and loads of goodies to look at, also private property unlike macy d's that sometimes can be funny and ask you to move on !!

Hmm.. Evolve would be nice but we want to be out where people can see our baddass rides...
And I agree with not going to the McDs next to Ikea... we might get car jacked!
There is also a McDs just off Hanger Lane roundabout ( QUILL STREET ALPERTON W5 1DN)
or there is one near me in Friern Barnet ( Friern Bridge Retail Park
Pegasus Way, London, N11 3PW) Which there might be alot of space.
I think a McDs would be good as we wont have any date restrictions.

Your thoughts guys!

Other places I was thinking of are, and not in any particular preference: 1-Visitor centre Dunstable Downs, Beds, has hot food and drinks and ample parking (£1 a day). 2-Blackheath Common (Car Park where marathon runners converge pre race), again cafe in main car park area. 3- Verulum Park car park, St Albans, Herts, cafes a short walk away. 4- This one is a bit of a drive, Watford Gap services!(loads of space, hot food and drinks, lots of viewing eyes)........totally understand if this option gets mooted though.

Agree with Donbona though, McD's is probably the best option re date restrictions.

Hi Guys

You are more than welcome to hold it here but it would be a shame not to show off your cars to the general public!

Where ever it is I will be up for attending. I will let some of our other M3 customers who do not post know about the meet too.

Shame its not a bit earlier otherwise we could have brought the G Powered DCT M3 we are just about to finish...
