are there any meets around the above?
any takers?
....just posted on the other thread about a meet in Beds/Herts - hoping to sort out an MK type meet soon, maybe next month
good good will do the same-
C\'MON PEOPLES!
Keep me posted.:Thumbs-up
bump bump bump....bump.......bump bump.....bump :rolleyes:
sugestions as to date or place would be good, :Thumbsup!
now! :o (or not)
sorry...seriously perhaps any weekend even a few of us would be great, perhaps any other petrol heads or just japs (i know some of would prefer japs & not fleets of corsas & mopeds - {no offence} but i suppose it will be mainly us)
maybe - Toddington Services type thing (maybe not)
I\'m in luton so i\'ll make my suggestions - The Brache (big beefeater :guinness with hotel - so largeish car park)
or perhaps The Harvester pub :cheers on the A5 (secluded+ with hotel & no unwanted attention)
Hlafords Industrial estate on gipsy lane luton (HUGE Flat car park with the brache pub accross the road)
another suggestion perhaps is the multi stories in luton eg the Galaxy one which is free after 6 & on sundays i think 50p or somthin - lit & dry?
just thought i\'d throw them out there because i\'m forever wanted to make the dartford meet or any other but cant because of distance.
didnt even think any1 else had rex\'s within miles of me (hey hey D1 WTF just noticed you)
:burnout
any thoughts?
theres a nice pub we used to use for the herts integra meet up nr Stanborough....and then we used to go on for a blast down the hatfield tunnel....just a suggestion....and its closer to me lol!!
I\'m up for this too, anywhere not to far from Milton Keynes would be good.
Herts / Beds / MK - all good for me! :Thumbs-up
i think a meet somewhere like luton would be perfect because its halfway to like north london harrow etc all the way to milton keynes northampton etc.
definatley want one organised
the more the merrier in my opinion but i\'m not sure if i am organising this- will happily do so though,
i would love to see all rotary,
our own damn rotorstock - japshow whatever
will be even more helpful to me perhaps because now its off season but i\'m new and gives me an others a chance to meet each other swap advice parts etc.
cant wait
AS PER OTHER THREAD
D1 WTF - i totally agree and i would love to have one soon and either monthy fortnightly or whenever anyone wants i guess- so many multi stories in luton + some completely empty + with no security patrol/noise regulation so would be ideal - some have open roofs + are very well lit.
c\'mon guys lets go!
to any MOD - could this be made sticky at some stage as i\'m sure this one will go ahead - thanks all!
I\'d prefer a pub as you can have a drink, bite to eat and use the facilities (maybe it\'s a girl thing! :o )
I\'ll add it as an event once we have some definate details.

ann i totally agree but if my suggestion goes ahead (which its looks so - as i am definately going to organise this) the we have the Brache Beefeater pub with nice secluded car park which is well lit and can be seen (watched) from inside. Halford toys\'r\'us comet b&Q etc accross the street with a big car park - again almost desolate & up the road is the entire town centre with pubs bars clubs & loads of big multi stories if the weather turns (all within 1 mile!)
if its definate suggestions that are wanted then perhaps The Brache either this weekend or the following i really wouldnt mind if only a handful or one or two poeple turned up as i would love to meet you guys have a butchers at the cars and show mine + then a drink or two followed by some very nice ;) food.

Are you going to arrange some sort of run / drive about? Static meets aren\'t my favourite in winter. Its worth standing about doing the tyre kicking social thing if there is a \'run\' at the end of it :) If so i\'d be up for it.
will post a route would love a run :Thumbsup! just didnt kno anyone else would, wanted to have a ride in one of you guys singles (and compare)!
let me know your thoughts an i will post up more soon (my rex is poorly + and its nice and rainy)
I\'ll keep my ears pricked for this meet :-)
Can\'t promise anything, depends on date etc. and whether Wifey & Little\'un want to along for the ride etc.
Been toying with the idea of a South Bucks meet for a while; there\'s some lovely driving roads up around Quainton / Waddesdon / Stowe etc. and nice NT properties we could potentially park up in for photos etc. But I don\'t know the pubs that well in that area.
I\'ll mull on that over the winter months, and maybe plan something for early spring :)

my car would be happy to offer its services in showing you what a single can do......lol.
although my car is poorly at the mo, so lets put this back a week, that should give me plenty of time to get my rex sorted and book it off work. something like sat 2nd or the 9th dec,
P.s spot choosen (beafeeter etc, sounds sweet, plus nice and central). get planning a root avoiding speed cams and likely police intrest spots. Not that i condone speeding or stupid behaviour on public roads, (it is just more fun)

:Thumbsup! cant wait!
will delay till everyone says they are ready and i will try to find a route + a nice day so we can drive in a straight line (when you want to that is).
dont really want to put it off later than 2nd November but i do want everyone to confirm they are ok to come and D1 to have your car sorted. mine isnt completely sorted but i\'m just too eager to meet you guys so it can wait........now thats love for ya :)
let me kno any thoughts on routes etc or i will hopefully come up with one, do you guys want country lanes, motorways, city centres, deserted areas/industrial estates? or just a good lap of the surrounding? i\'m trying to plan the best route but dont know what you guys fancy or how long a drive etc? Daytime or nightime too?
----------- please confirm if the above date is ok! ----------------- :Thumbs-up
cheers guys wuld love to see lots of us there!

cheers guys wuld love to see lots of us there!
i think if a couple of people say they can come then we just need to stick with a date, we cant keep changing it because someone cant come etc. this wont be the only one we are going to do, so if you cant make it then there will surely be another soon. it will just be impossible trying to accomidate everyone. i think we should say the
2nd dec as a previsional?
as for root? i think evening would be better, so that we can grab some dinner, i dont know say where ever the first meeting point is, we will stay therefore an hour, or maybe longer if we eat first. that way if give a window for people to arrive. (they will get there early if they are eating, or a little later if they are just coming for a cruise) say 6pm or something?
and prob a bit of everything, dont want to go on a motorway slog, but if we have the oportunaty to jump on a fairly clear stretch for 1 or 2 junctions then that could be cool. a brief fly through a busyish town on a sat night would be cool, how i love to turn heads, especially with multipul rotary roar.
an i dont know on then length pro like 30-40 miles i guess? i dunno really.
ok right Saturday 2nd November it is perhap 5-6pm start so we can grab some food, will have loads of keys & a rotor ornament on the table for you guys, then stay for as long as we want then drive up the m1 to perhaps Milton Keynes and stop at Oceana or outside the front of MK somewhere then perhaps back to luton when we get bored of there and maybe a detour through dunstable if we really feel the need to turn some heads... :)
I will be honoured to lead... ;) (king Rex) :King for a few moments
will book two tables or something at the brache for us depending on numbers,

should all be sorted by then, well i £$%&ing hope so. or i will have really thrown my toys out of the pram.
cheers for the offer though, hopefully i wont have to take you up on it though, fingers crossed.
i know some others i am going to get them intrested, might be worth posting a link in some of the other sections just to give people a hand in finding this thread. eg 3rd, 2nd gen etc
there is loads in watford and near. aswell, we need to spread the word.
looking shaky to say the least....might be possible to make it....depends on when i can get my ass down to RX Motors and buy the housings an on how quickly i can get the rotor i need!

will spread the word & post in any other relevant sections etc.
Do you guys want me to put anything on the Supra mkiv owners club?
also do you want rotarys only or others perhaps?
i personally wouldnt mind others ie friends family in thier cars (anything to help the cause - they will be converted *in darlic voice)
or should we keep the first one small with mrc only?
a big convoy of rotarys would be good & i would love to see some other gen Rexs :)
I\'m working on the 2nd DEC but will be able to finish early if weather is good.:Thumbs-up
So what time for food and post code ( sat nav is such a wonderful thing ) for meet.:Party
i am maybe thinking for the first meet keep it mrc (i think the odd other car eg mate, or partner) but to be honest i wouldnt mind getting to know people from the mrc for the first month at least.
then we might look into branching it out into more of a monthy cruise. but in my opinion mrc for the first month at least. unless you wanna organise it so we meet in a big car park or something later at 9pm and join others.

i agree the odd other car would be fine as friends family may want to join us & i dont think many of us have 7 seater rexs?
hog - postcode is LU1 3HJ
Directions - http://www.yell.com/maps/mapAction.d...crambleSeed%3D
food at 6? if anyone is late or will be let me know i will post my number closer to the date for all, i wouldnt want anyone to not come because they are running late (well all you with singles should not be late anyway! :) )
monthly a definate & perhaps bimonthy if you guys can make it.
Sticky --- STICKY --- Sticky
Sounds good to me! :Thumbs-up
I\'ve changed the title of the thread - is that ok? I don\'t think it needs to be a sticky at this stage as it\'s a single event. I\'m sure it will stay at the top of the list as we keep posting, I\'ll also add it into the events calender.

It is a shame the two clubs cann\'t get on better as I think they are a great bunch of guys and girls over at RX8 Owners Club and of the few of you guys I\'ve meet (at JAE) you seem like nice guys and girls to. Lets hope things can change.
Looking forward to meeting more of you on the 2nd.

Hi Guys,
Thanks to \'seanp\' and \'RX8head,\' for not only resurrecting this meet over on RX8OC but for bringing to my attention the fact that the original post was somehow deleted from our \'Events and Meetings\' forum.
Our events organiser was quick to ask for the post to be reinstated, as both he and I are both fairly regular participants at the Dartford meet. (not of late though as after work I have been too k*******d)
It is possible that along with a number of other glitches, that the original post fell foul of a whole host of alterations and updates to our forum, that are currently being carried out by the forum administrator. My apology if this is the case.
Part of the reason I was recently elected to the post of Chairman of the RX8OC was because it is my intention to forge closer links with all fellow rotary enthusiasts whether they be in the UK or on the continent. Both of our clubs have much to offer each other and we are comparative \'newbies\' to the rotary scene, compared to some of you 7 owners and your wealth of experience is much sought after especially as many of our 8\'s, including mine, are now ending their warranty period.
For those of you that do not know I would like to consider myself a friend both to Clive and many other MRC members, as I have frequented your stand at shows, taken advantage of the track days on offer and my car owes a lot of it\'s unique look to Clive.
Cannot make this meet that is being organised, as my allowance of meets is almost expended for the year and as I am at Brands with you guys and the sx200 Owners Club on the 4th. December, joining in on this one would be more than my life is worth.
I assure you guys that there is no animosity toward the MRC from the RX8OC and no personal vendettas either directed against guests or members. On the whole, like all of you, we are enthusiastic about the cars we own and for the most part are as friendly as you are on here.
Ray

And I have to agree with all of what Ray and Clive have said and lets hope the two clubs can now forge closer links to benefit us all.

Totally agree with both of the above. As some of you know I\'ve been an active member of both clubs organising several events. It would be really cool if the clubs can work together more and I very much hope this meet is the start of things to come.

If you read all of my post that Jon took that quote from I do say what a nice group of people there is is in both sites and at the time of posting this I had had only one reply to my post in the "Moderators Only Section" (by Jon) saying it wasn\'t me that had deleted the post.
Once again may I just say sorry for any missunderstanding my posts may have cause and can we all be friends and get back to the main point of both clubs which is enjoying are motors.
Quote from: BIGWITHEYWTF!! ... I\'m not even bothering with these .... :Yawn
Try and get a grip .....
This is exactly the sort of thing that doesn\'t help.
I am not being hysterical as I was accused on the OC. I have about a dozen examples of my posts over there being edited or deleted without any notifcation or explaination which I do not think is acceptable. They cannot all be \'forum glitches\' and it does seem to happen if I ever mention the MRC.
So I appologise if my earlier post caused offence but that is honesty how I feel and I do have the evidence to back it up.
The last time it happened I actually made a formal complaint to Jon and he didn\'t even bother to reply. That was definately not a techincal issue as the moderator in question admited to doing it after someone else challenged what had happened.
I can therefore fully understand Chris and Sean\'s confusion and frustriation when the thread suddenly vanished. As a moderator on this site I would never change or move anyone\'s posts without having a valid reason (agreed with the moderating team) and without advising the person of what action I am taking and why.
So because I do not agree with the moderation on the OC I choose not to post much anymore. But that doesn\'t mean I don\'t still think it is a great club with some fab people.
As has already been said I would really like both clubs to start working together and I hope that this meet is the start of more joint ventures. So please can we all call a truce and go back to enjoying both clubs and our lovely rotaries?
Ann.
right! havent we been busy folks... :eek:
i\'ve been in cardiff all week for work and didnt get a chance to get on here.
very happy with all the intrest as this is exactly what i wanted.
when i joined i had no idea about any of the forums but i specifically joined mrc (soon to be full member just need to get round to it) so that i would be able to see understand and enjoy all of the rotary heratige and future and imagined that this club would be a mish mash of all the types of rotarys and the coming together of the various clubs cars and eras.
i know you are all begining to weep now so i will stop but just wanted to add that i am very positive and determined to bring all that i can to this club and in the process learn about and enjoy all the types of cars and bikes etc that we all have.
i hope everyone enjoys this meet and Enjoys what this club has to offer also.
not sure about the RX8 OC discussions and when i joined i did think the two clubs were contained here but i hope any confusion is behind us and we can all enjoy all that is rotary.
and if i may say so it would be superb to see members from the Rx8 oc, mrc and many others at the meet (and many more meets if i can do it).
(Ann - I am so glad i did start it)
:King
like has been said, lets get back to what we love
hhhmmmmmmm rotor:InLove :InLove
(http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h42/samkendle/rotorshine.jpg)
i just read your latest post ( i acctually typed the one above it little bits at the office but i was really busy) and i do agree with your points.
Our club, i believe is run very well so this to me means that the clerical crew & management are very good in all senses of the word perhaps that is best to concentrate on.
i dont know alot about the rx8 OC and actually at first thought that it was contained in here but i just agree that what you have said shouldnt be the way it is,
there is no excuse for no answers, replies or explanations in any circumstances this should be just common courtesy and without judging a club (which i am not implying) i do know i trust the thoughts of those who have expressed them on here because i have found all on here to simply be honest.
litterally i am saying that any issues with a club should be raised even on here (if i may say so and in my opinion) - i am sure forums have alot to do with poeples thoughts and if people are thinking we havent had answers to something then we should be free to discuss.
i really didnt like the comment "WTF!! ... I\'m not even bothering with these ....
Try and get a grip ....."
a forum in my opinion and even perhaps only my opinion is a discussion board. If you dont want to discuss somebodys issue or point with them then dont. there is no need for plain and simple rudeness.
this thread i would like to be not only all about this new meet in luton but about bringing together more of us, having a good time and creating more oppertunities for anyone and everyone to get together and on here, chat. Even if it means expressing any topic they feel strongly about on even this thread.
i dont mean this as a dig as i dont feel it ok to judge, i just wanted to express that yes we can concentrate on the things that we want to, we shouldnt ingore any issues anyone may have.
Wise words Tharek - and I\'m very glad all this hasn\'t put you off organising what I\'m sure will be an excellent meet.
I\'ll just try and close this debate with a final thought. If you look here: http://annhowlett.com/annualmeet06/annualmeet06.html you will see my photos from the RX-8 OC annual meet in September. It was organised by Jon (BIGWITHEY) and the rest of the OC Committee and we all had an excellent time.
This sort of thing is at the heart of both of our clubs - getting together and meeting fellow rotary owners. I can honestly say I haven\'t been to an MRC or OC event yet that I haven\'t really enjoyed. I think some of us (including me) lose sight of that at times and that is a shame.
So back to this event, here\'s the latest list. Very much looking forward to seeing all of you next Saturday.
1.ME!!! M4DRX - Black 3rd Gen (Tharek - 07737 257 377)
2. D1 WTF (if car is feeling a bit better - or i will come and get you! )

4. Ann (AMH) & other half - Strato RX-8 with mega-bling alloys

6. One2Watch (i know you may not make it bro but would be good if you can!)
7. tyson 007 (will prob be plus one)
8. seanp (I\'ll try my best to get along to this!) - Titanium RX-8
9. RX8Head - Titanium RX-8 with two tone leather interior (is that right Chris?)
10. pazza98 (RX8OC) - Galaxy grey PZ RX-8 (very nice)
11. Alan (yellaman on RX8OC) - Lightning yellow RX-8
Tharek please can you reconfirm the meeting point and time as it\'s got a bit lost in this thread? The Brache Beefeater in Luton (LU1 3HJ) at 5/6pm?

That\'s a shame Chris - but don\'t worry I think the plan is to make it a regular one - monthly or bi-monthly so hopefully see you next time.
Ann.

my girlfirend will be bringing her FTO incase mine breaks down I suppose (faaar too paranoid - but cant help it at the moment).
i think i am kind of organising this but only will full agreement and opinions of those attending and the club so i think speaking on behalf of all it is ok to bring a friend or partner etc.
i\'m assuming he wont have brought his car over but i have no objections to anything so far and i personally may benifit from a bit of guidance from your friend & means we all get to try and convert them no doubt to the rotary future..... :god
lol, sounds good as a few are unable to make it, the more the meeior i guess. might be worth starting up a list of people that def want to eat etc, so we can book table or is it just go to the bar to order type place?
I should be coming along to this. Just got to get the car running, been sat in the garage for 6 weeks
Quote from: m4drxi think i am kind of organising this but only will full agreement and opinions of those attending and the club so i think speaking on behalf of all it is ok to bring a friend or partner etc.
It\'s your call as you\'re organising it but definately more the merrier. :cheers On behalf of the club everyone is welcome (even my BMW driving boyfriend! :o )
Have you booked a table Tharek? Are we still aiming for 6pm??
Ann.

Ann.
i would like to focus on our cars on saturday to a degree but also on getting to know each other too. and not all of us come wthout baggage i suppose :Tongue1 . so family, friends and even beemer boyfriends i have no problems with!
just looking forward to having a bit of a chat with everyone an a nose round the cars! but considering that theres not a huge crowd of us i\'m sure we will be crossexamining any others too!
i havent posted on any other club or forum at all for this, its on the RX8 OC (isnt it - ann?) but no others. i could put an invitation on FDUK but i only discovered it last night so i havent had a chance to ask you guys whether thats ok. also perhaps ask a few friends from the skyline and supra clubs to come but if im honest i havent felt the need yet (selfish B*****d :spank ) as i just want to have a chance to ask some questions about mine if thats ok and enjoy a bit of rotary for the time being.
if anybody would like to come regularly then i\'m sure we\'ll get bored of each other.... :flamed and hopefully more people can attend (but i dont think there are too many rotarys for miles anyhow).
Havent booked a table as yet the pub is in two halves with non smoking restaurant area and a big bar lounge area but with about another four 4-6 seater tables in a smoking environment. The food is good and drinks etc are not too expensive so if you would like to sit down to eat or have a drink :guinness then i can book in advance just so we can definately sit together. (its not jam packed or smokey at all really)
attendance list is as follows please spread the word and confirm if you can definately attend...
1.ME!!! M4DRX - Black 3rd Gen (Tharek - 07737 257 377) - CONFIRMED

Hi,
I\'ve moved the 15 million posts accross the whole of MRC. No need to publicise this event anywhere other than the meets section - keeps things tidy.
Cheers,

That\'s exactly what I did when I organised my first meet - just see what people want to do on the night. It also depends a bit on the weather.
We would like to eat and would prefer to be in the resturant if possible - but we\'ll go with the majority.

right guys! i\'m guessing most of you guys are already on the way!
Trex (dom) should be coming also!
i couldnt book a table because nobody really said they wanted to eat & its a bit difficult to book there as there is a hotel attached but all should be ok, we can grab food at the bar and some tables & chairs or there are loads of other places i can think of anyways!
see you guys soon and my number is on the list for any qiueries!
Excellent meet guys - really nice to meet you all. I didn\'t think going up the motorway was such a good idea until you shot by me - the noise your 7\'s make is amazing! :yes
That pub and route will be even better in the summer months - can\'t wait.
Here are my pics (http://www.annhowlett.com/mrcmeet/mrcmeet.html) - enjoy! :Thumbs-up
Ann.
wicked pics, cheers ann.
looking forward to the next meet, hopefully i will have my car back and run in for it.

Thanks for organising the meeting Tharek. :cheers
It was great to see some 7s in the flesh, so to speak. Maybe I\'ll recognise them as for some waves in the future :2Confused ;)
Well, I suppose all that shiney metal under the bonnet is what\'ll greet more \'8 owners as the warranties run out etc. :)
Sorry I didn\'t really get to know who\'s who; I blame my mate who I haven\'t seen for 4 years choosing this weekend to do a flying visit from OzLand ;)
He really enjoyed it too, BTW - especailly as there was an FTO there :D
As we\'re all old-gits, and my mate was knackered from travelling, we peeled off at Dunstable to head home; looks like we missed the good bit... :3gears-rh
Great Pics Ann!
Great meet, first of many I hope. Good to meet some new people and of course see some old friends. Lets get some more cars for the next one. Super pics Ann. Must get some thermals for the next one, god it was cold.
Looks like you had a great meet! Some great pics. Can\'t believe you came upto MK, I would of come out and met up with you all if I had known :Hammer
sorry guys have been very busy and very unwell.
firstly thank you to everyone that came it was such great fun, also a big big thank you to ann for the pictures and help with everything.
moving on.... the next one...... :)
13th 20th or 27th Jan just after all the festive funs, depending on weather etc also but this time i may change the venue to a similar venue or keep the same as it was perfect! i will also be arranging big table so we can all dine together etc once everyone has confirmed.
what do you guys think?
also could all anyone who was at the previous meet email me thier contact details too i think we all didnt get a chance to exchange details on the night,

:Thumbsup!
the only problem with a big table in the restaurant is the bill. i really aint one to niggle over a few quid. as would normally split the bill. but with friends and partners not driving, if they drink wine etc or if someone has just maincourse and not starter and desert. just makes it a bit unfair to split evenly etc.
just my though, but i thought the order your own at the bar worked quite well. (sure we could organise a big table in the bar)
dont mind either way just wondered what others thought?
cant wait till the next meet, at least i will have my car back by then, prob not fully run in though, DOH

will be good to see ya fella and the car!
i will most likely be arranging it like this i think then because the orders did vary last time but i will have to try an organise all the seating closer together.
appreciate your point fella (i think most of us will be skint by then anyways!)
Morning guys,
Yes it was a good meet and I agree that eating in the bar area worked out quite well as not everyone wanted food.
I can\'t do 20th Jan and 27th is the AGM so I would prefer 13th but that\'s not long to go - unless we make it 3rd Feb?
Rather than changing the title of this thread I suggest we start a new one or it will end up getting very long. That\'s what we do for the other regular meets like the Dartford one. I\'m happy to do that and move the appropraite posts accross.
And I\'ll do some name badges next time Tharek! :Thumbs-up
Ann.

Looks like ill be in the same boat as you sam! i hate splitting bills cos i dont drink and i always end upi getting shafted for my mates alcohol costs! :Typing and being my size means i dont really eat all that much either! Infact, come to think of it, im not really happy splitting meals with anna co she totally outeat and drinks me :(
If we all sit around a table in the bar area we can individually go and order and pay for our food seperately. Can only see that we would need to split the bill if we dined in the restaurant and I\'m not overly fussed about that.
Anyway, good meet, look forward to the next one. Count me in.
