Pistonheads Sunday Service, Mercedes-Benz World - Sun 11th Sept
 
Thought i'd post this up and see if anyones interested. I know a lot of the Surrey members go along and have said its a cracking morning out with plenty to see and do. I've not been to Mercedes-Benz World before so definately think its time for a visit. Anyone else fancy joining me? Surrey also have a thread going with 5 cars on the list already. :)

Pistonheads thread with all information details is here!!

If you want to attend, you need to add your name to the registration list on Pistonheads (see link below). They close the list at 700 cars! It only takes 2 mins to join PH if you're not a member already - they will ask for your username on the gate so make sure you add your name down on the above link if you want to come :ok:

Event starts at 9am, finishes at 1pm. Who fancies it?

Nice one Tim :ok: All you have to do now is convince Sim to come along as well (and that a bacon sarnie won't break the bank!) ;)

You might be suprised, lol. It's VERY expensive.

Might pop into the air museum afterwards aswell.

Steve_PPP 25-08-2011 08:02 PM

oh well, never mind. it'll still be a great morning out :nod:

Scooby_Greg 26-08-2011 07:30 AM

Just added myself to the list so I'll be there. Shall we meet up anywhere en route?

Cool :)

Would make sense to meet up on route. Surrey are meeting at Cobham Sainsburys at 8am, so it would be easy to just to link up with them unless we get a load more numbers and want a more Sussex-based meet up.

Surrey have got a good list going now (10+ cars) so we'll meet up with them beforehand and convoy in together.

Anymore? The PH list is filling up (550 spaces gone out of 700) so get your name down :ok:

Bit of an update for this. If you want to come along and haven't got your name on the list, get it down quickly. There are only 40 of the 700 spots remaining at the moment.

The plan is now:
- Meet at 7:15am (depart 7:20am) at Pease Pottage services for those in Sussex.
- Convoy up to Cobham Sainburys (KT11 1HW) for 8am, where we will meet up with Surrey Scoobies to convoy onto Mercedes Benz World. Surrey currently have 14 scoobs on the list, so should be a good convoy of about 20 of us from there.

After talking to a few people at Japbash, we've decided to suggest going for a pub lunch afterwards. All details here if you fancy it afterwards:

hi Steve, I'm on the PH ( mid 400ish same user name as here) list for MBW and will be in the Hatch Sti. I go to most Sunday service meeting and have to say they are great! I'm heading directly there as I will have the wife and kids with me. Hope to see you all there. Cheers Ian

Guys, I am up for this, but have to be back in peacehaven by 1.00. What time are you thinking of staying until?? As we are leaving early, may still be do'able.

Yeah, don't see any reason why not :nod:

If there's enough people to warrant the pub meet near Redhill, we'll probably leave MBW between 11:30 and 12 noon.

Scooby_Greg 06-09-2011 06:07 PM

Planning to bring the hatch to it's first meet. Had the wheels back today so it's all ready to go. Just hope the weather's better than today!
