Due to my other half not being a morning person we are going to do an overnight at the Premier Inn Swanley if anybody interested about Â£60 a room.

I'll make it to Thurrock services again this year. We're staying in Docklands for the weekend and will drive out to there in the morning to meet you all. The time we met last time seemed ok, though perhaps it'll be busier earlier this year?

Do you recall when it was, Mick?

From your message last year:

"See you at Thurrock 0800

Top gear rules"

As I recall, 'Top Gear Rules' for this sort of encounter is that you are supposed to drive your cars into each other when you meet, right?

(I'm staying very nearby the night before, so unless there is a VERY local meeting-point, I suppose I will have to just show up and then try to get to the SM zone, not the 'general italian' zone.

Top Gear Rules: We leave our people behind.

From previous experience that is a recipe (hangover) for disaster!

Contigo · Jul 25, 2017

Mrs can't get in, no space so she's on the wait list, this is fast becoming the biggest Italian event of the year!

I live not too far away so I just go there. I was the first SM'er there, although Ollie who was there before me is now a member.
I'll probably be there before doors open, if I remember correctly last year there was a bit of a traffic jam getting in.

What time is that?

Gates open at 9. But I think I was there for about 8 ish. Can't remember exactly.

Changed hotels to this one. So I won't be making the meet at Thurrock as that would be going in entirely the wrong direction

Cobham services meet anyone?

Also I'm not sure we'll be in the same spot as last year I'm sure that row had over 30 masers parked there

Contigo · Jul 25, 2017

Yes Cobham for me for sure for about 8am I'd have thought.

conaero · Jul 26, 2017

Another for Cobham

MarkMas · Jul 26, 2017

Or we could meet here:

FA57GTA · Jul 26, 2017

Ha ha yeah I'm up for meeting there!! In fact shall we just scrap the brands hatch idea altogether!?

CatmanV2 · Jul 26, 2017

I can count the number of SM members that I want to see naked on the fingers of no hands
