[Rallye88]

[gozzer]

I'm from Hassocks and ive got a quicky so it might be me!?
Also my mates got one aswell, but its a bit crusty, got a for sales sign in the window..

[Ows]

There are 2 quik's I see about in BH , one has big grey stripes down it and a loudish zorst, with logos up the sides of the doors, the others are standard looking quicks...

I will keep em peeled, we can sort a meet up as you are right on the doorstep, see what you think of a GTI when it gets going :p

I wouldnt mind a closer look at a quick

Cheers

Ows

[Dave-R]

The other half lives near Arundel so I'm often over that way at the weekends. Got some customers at Findon and Hassocks so I'm sometimes there during the weekdays.

Jonny-R is around Chichester in his 106 Zest2 most weekdays.

The weather's good.. evenings are really lush at the moment. A meet should therefore happen :cool: I'd love to see a GTi. It'll be the next car I get, for sure.

[Jonny-R]

Yeah a meet would be wicked.

[gozzer]

Yeh mines a standard one...with a spoiler.. i onlyu got it a couple of months ago so havent really had a chance to do anything to it yet.
I've never seen the one with stripes down it, i'll have to keep an eye out.
Oh and i'll keep an eye out for your gti aswell ;)

[106_xsi]

ive seen that 1 with the stripes down it etc, 2 of my mates have got 106's, 1's an S2 ralley the otgher is a stupidly low quicky lol. i'll see if there up for a meet.

[Ows]

Good stuff, I dont know if this is stupid short notice but im heading over to Bury Hill way in a few mo's if anyone is about and fancies a blat...

[gozzer]

Yeh, i actually remember seeing the one with stripes, and thinking, what a dick.
Ha
Yeh ive got 3 other mates with 106's.
So maybe they'd be up for a meet..

[Ows]

Are weekends generally better for everyone?

I was thinking, a sunny sunday, gather the lot up from Burgess Hill/Hassocks way then head over towards Chichester, great roads through Storrington and Arundel then maybe a photo snapping session in Bosom Harbour or any of the many pretty places in Chi that would benefit from having some pugs grace their presence?

What do we think? Im also happy for a choccie milkshake and a natter in a car park too! :)

[106_xsi]

sounds good to me! oh by the way ows, just saw you coming towards triangle roundabout, i was going other way in mates escort cab.

[Ows]

sounds good to me! oh by the way ows, just saw you coming towards triangle roundabout, i was going other way in mates escort cab.

Ah good spotting, I fancied a blast about, I was almost tempted to spin round and give chase but it was going home time.. if you had been a few minutes quicker you would of heard how harsh 3rd gear sounds lol I saw you coming off the roundabout in a white drop top escort wasnt it?

[Jonny-R]

Ows great suggestions. Loving how local it sounds :D

Were any of those quikies passing through Chichester today? I saw two following each other about 10am.

[106_xsi]

yea, thats my mates hes just got it and was takin us out for a quick blat. if your out any other night thisd week stick a post up here an i'll come meet ya if you like, i usually check on here when i get in from work so gimmie a shout.

[Ows]

106xsi - Sure no probs, take it to the bridge by the triangle ;) is your Xsi red by any chance?

Jonny - Yea I love over Chi way, my mum loves boats so always pop and see em parked (if thats the right term for boats) in the harbour... You know of any pubs we could check in for a sunday roast and drink round your way? I PM'd your bro for some suggestions, so all are welcome.

Need to get a weekend date sorted too, make it happen while summer is still here!

Ows

[106_xsi]

the bridge test! lol nah mate its grey with black alloys. you'll probs hear me before you see me! lol

[Ows]

Okies ill keep my ears and eyes open for you...

...legend has it that you can crack a ton heading to the bridge outwards to Hickstead*







*Disclaimer - This is legend and is therefore not true...:eek:

[106_xsi]

ha ha ha ha, not all of us are blessed with that sort of speed! maybe when ive got the GTi engine.

[gozzer]

Yeh, this sounds well good, didn't realise there were this many people from our way. A meet would be good i'd like to see what all your pugs are like!

[Ows]

Aye tis funny when you think about how many peeps are actually in your area but it takes a website forum to bring them together..:)

Any ideas for dates peeps? we gotta make this happen!

[106_xsi]

1st of july?

[Ows]

Im gonna be in Belgium that weekend... How about the weekend after? Sunday the 8th? Meet at maybe the Triangle car park then go onto Chi from there?

[106_xsi]

er. . . . yea sounds good to me.

[gozzer]

yea maybe, ill check with some mates who've got 106's see if they wana come along. Or might bring someone in the car with me

[Ows]

More the merrier, people and cars :)

[Jonny-R]

Ows - there's a massive beef eater pub / outdoor eat place at Bosham with a shed load of parking, so that would be a good option.
But, I work Sundays, is there any chance of a Saturday meet?! :D

Where do you propose it starts at?

[Dave-R]

Hi guys.

Weekends are normally good for me. Jonny-R is odd and works on a Sunday though! I'm normally around Arundel at the weekends so could catch you guys as you go through and maybe catch Jon nearer Chichester.

There are loads of good pubs in Chichester. Parking can be a bit crap though.

Bosham is nice. There's that Beefeater (I think?) in Bosham which looks nice. There's also a small pub right on the water's edge. Website at http://www.bosham.org/anchor/index.htm :)

If you ever go there, don't park on the road by the pub because the sea covers it at high tide. Heh. A mate of mine has seen a BMW get a bit damp there.

Or.. closer to you guys is Fontwell/Slindon. There's a nice pub by the Fontwell services/Fontwell race course. Hasn't been open all that long. Parking is good there.

Best if we maybe set a date, some rough times and then work out a route?

Cheers.

[Ows]

Dave and jonny - Thanks for the info, I would say head towards Bosom way?

Im totally cool for the Saturday :) everyone else ok for that? I might be tempted to pop over your way before the meet just say hello and iron out any creases (Plus my pug hasnt been through Arundel/Storrington yet and needs to be educated lol)

[Jonny-R]

A saturday would be perfect, if we can get a few good lads to join in and go in convoy too.
Where is a good palce to meet - then head down to Bosham? How long we looking to cruise for, hour?

Me and my brother have just been having a thinking, how about if we all meet at Crossbush, Arundel, West Sussex, BN18 9PQ that area. There's the crossbush pub/restaurant, or a MacDonalds with a BP garage with a largeish carpark. Could take some B roads and end up on the A259 which leads to Bosham? Just an idea though.
I think that isn't too far from you?

[Jonny-R]

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&msid=104349328406589958789.0000011326b73e2c1a5eb&ll=51.017642,-0.805092&spn=0.147081,0.32135&z=12&om=1

There is a very basic proposed route. How many miles are we looking at doing? Do you have any proposals for stop off points, and where else to go?

You could also completely change it if you wish.

We have calculated the distance using a ruler and a scale (lol) to 'roughly' 59.46miles. Sounds good to me. :)

[Ows]

:D Whoa!

Great work there guys, I mean the mileage is totally upto everyone and what they fancy doing, im personally totally fine with whatever, I think its about 20-30miles ish from Burgess Hill to Arundel, then whatever we decide from there...

Just took a peeky at the google map and that looks spot on to me!

Everyone take a look and get your name down for the best date...

Well done again guys for getting a plan formed

Cheers!

Ows

[gozzer]

I say e have a drive thru maccie Ds then down to st Johns for a footie match.
Haha

[Ows]

I say e have a drive thru maccie Ds then down to st Johns for a footie match.
Haha

Just one prob mate, im shit at footie :D But the Crappy D's sounds like a plan

[Jonny-R]

I'd rather go for a blast and stop off at a few places on the way. Haha. The only thing is, do any of us know the proposed route / where we can stop off? lol. :D

[Ows]

I think that if we head for Bosham and surrounding areas we should be ok.. the drive upto Petersfield sort of way may end up halving the group numbers as we will all prolly get lost lol

[Jonny-R]

Hahahahaha. So true. So shall we keep the same start place? Then just go straight to Bosham?

[Ows]

Sounds fine to me, I think we will keep it straight forward to begin with then if peeps have ideas and directions when we all pile there it can be agreed at that time...

All sound good? If so what time are we proposing on the Saturday? (Just so that I can make a list and plonk a date and time location up)

Cheers again

Ows

[Jonny-R]

The weather is pap for this Saturday, we could say next Saturday if the weather cheers up? Meet at the said location, park up, chat. Roll down Bosham, eat, and go in convoy somewhere?
Meet time, 11 - 12? Eat at 1 - 2?

So, how many people would be up for this.

1) Jonny-R
2) Dave-R
3) Ows

Come on all Hampshire/Sussex owners.

[106_xsi]

1) Jonny-R
2) Dave-R
3) Ows

[Jonny-R]

I know logan is in the area, two quiksilvers near chi area, Gozzer and cknotty might bust a groove down.

[cknotty]

I know logan is in the area, two quiksilvers near chi area, Gozzer and cknotty might bust a groove down.

Depends when it is. I definitely can't make next weekend as I'm driving down to the Nürburgring :D

[aimz]

i work saturdays, or i could come along lol!! never mind ay!!

[Jonny-R]

Ah damn it. We all work odd days! I guess Kent to Arundel isn't the shortest journey though :D

[aimz]

i dont work sundays tho, well not every sunday, im working the 24th june n 1st july. oh and i dont work tusdays either lol

[gozzer]

yeh depends what day we're doing it, to whether i can come..
i dont work on weekends but i got a few things on..

[106_xsi]

why dont we try down sizing this, that way if you cant make it its not such a big deal. maybe just a little trip down to brighton by those who can make it, get to know each other then maybe plan summat a bit bigger later in the summer and sort it well in advance so people can book days off work etc so as many people as possible can make it? ? ?

[aimz]

that sounds like a good idea, :) ok so work it round me lol!! ** only joking** he he!!!!:p

[Jonny-R]

Well the original plan that me Dave-R and Ows have is to go from Arundel -> Bosham, stop at Bosham for some photos (if you know the area you'll know why) and then eat lunch at the beef eater.

[Ows]

Well the original plan that me Dave-R and Ows have is to go from Arundel -> Bosham, stop at Bosham for some photos (if you know the area you'll know why) and then eat lunch at the beef eater.

Yup, I mean we are def going to do this, so basically all that can make it are very welcome, I mean this twill not be the last southern meet up, its just giving us all the chance to say hello chat pugs and meet in the flesh...

All ears about other times and suggestions, just start a new thread up with the proposed time and locations and get as many yays or no's as you can..

Admin - Can we make some kind of online diary (like you get in MS Outlook) so that people can plonk a date in so you can see at a glance if something is happening in your area on a certain day? Just a thought..

Ows

[gozzer]

[Jonny-R]

Anyway, the weather was also completely pap.

Shall we try and pencil in a date for this then?

[Ows]

Yup agreed with Jonny...

A weekend, Saturday is what we are proposing yup? for the drive to Chi/Bosham.

Next weekend is out for me, off to Belgium... but how about the second Saturday, 8th of July?

Meet at a proposed location and go from there?

Brighton is local and easy enough for all of us BH and HH peeps so we should try and keep an eye out for the weather and get a evening in for a mini cruise, short notice is cool but keep it posted up on here?

Ows

[Si106GTi]

[Jonny-R]

Hey guys. Just got back but off tomorrow to Newquay for a week.

The date is the 4th of August. That's a Saturday - numbers are looking good keep the names coming in. We will do final details next weekend.

[Dave-R]

Keep adding your names to the list! Good turn out so far and a great selection of cars too. 1.1, Quiksilver, GTi, Rallye, XSi...

And start thinking of possible meet locations. We've got people coming from Southampton and Portsmouth so maybe somewhere a little closer to the Hampshire border for the first meet? Rather than going on a mission in to Brighton, for example.

Plan would be to keep it simple. Meet somewhere, put names to faces and cars. Then in convoy for something to eat.

We'll finalise everything next weekend so keep adding to the list and start listing some locations!

[Cannon]

lol i live next to the drive through Mcdonalds and KFC next to the huge pompey centre car parks with b+q and everything there.. its where everyone seems to meet for cruises etc, but its always a good start point and is easy to find

[CherryGTI]

Blinding stuff.

Now we just need to organise a meeting place/time for 4th August and have some form of plan on what we're going to do (small drive to grab some food and have a drink..). Personally, I'd like to meet somewhere nearer (ish) the Hampshire border as opposed to say Brighton. We've (hopefully!) got a few people coming from Hampshire, me included.

So I'm proposing we meet at Crossbush, Arundel. This is 23.1 miles away from where I live (Hayling Island) and 22.1 miles away from Brighton. Near enough in the middle :)

Crossbush is nice and easy to find. It's on the A27. There's a BP garage and McD's there, with plenty of space for everyone to park up and put names and cars to faces initially. Just down the road (5 minutes?) is Arundel itself where there's a nice pub ("The Black Rabbit") that's tucked away by the side of the river Arun. Could go there for a bit of food.

...after that, we can play it by ear and do a spot of follow the leader :D


Bounce some ideas around. 4th August is next weekend!

Cheers.

[*jojo*]

im up for meet but not too sure if id be able to make the arundel bit and hello i dont want to be the only female!!

[Dave-R]

im up for meet but not too sure if id be able to make the arundel bit and hello i dont want to be the only female!!

Quality. I hope you can make it. Fingers crossed the turnout is good. As for the location, some suggestions would be good :cool:

If you do come up with some suggestions, take in to account a) this is the first Sussex meet (I think?) and b) it's a meet, in Sussex.. not everyone is from Burgess Hill/Brighton. People coming from Chichester, Portsmouth and even Southampton (I hope!).

So that's why I'm going for Crossbush, Arundel. Because it's in Sussex and fairly central to the region. I'm also proposing we meet around 1pm? That way by the time we roll it'll be time to grab some food and have a chat.

But suggestions always welcome. As is feedback, like "Yes" or "No" :)

[Stevie_GTI]

Crossbush sounds good to me (i'm the guy coming from southampton, unless there is someone else im missing).Plan sounds good, meet up, names to faces/cars and then on for some food.
where abouts on hayling are u from, i go down to the sailing club quite often!!
Definatley count me in cause i had o\pull out of the meet in southend today :(

[Dave-R]

Woohoo. So we've had three definites so far, hehe. C'mon guys and gals :) You know you want to. You know it makes sense. Looking ahead to next Saturday, the weather isn't looking that bad. Partly cloudy, a high of 22c and low of 15c (http://uk.weather.com/weather/detail/BN18?dayNum=6). Make the effort :)

Nearer the middle of this coming week I'll finalise the details and try to get a postcode so those of you who are using GPS shouldn't have too much trouble.

@Stevie_GTI: I'm in the center of Hayling, just down the road from St. Mary's church and The Hayling College (which is actually a school).

[Cannon]

SWEEEEET!, right well my car is still letting water into the cockpit everytime it rains, and i mean alot, and also i have a drivers seat, and thats it, no carpet or soundproofing or stereo, no ICE, and no centre console :P

BUT i hav just put the new wheel on, induction should be going in this week with yellow hoses, and so should the alarm and (if it comes on tuesday like promised) the centre exit exhaust.. and there is something else too.. hmmmm

will hav to check my prgress blog to remeber what else is arriving

but im good for the 1pm meet, means i can get back in time for work at 7pm at the strip club

[Jonny-R]

Right guys. Who can come to this? Bit worried it's just going to be two or three if we're lucky!

[Stevie_GTI]

do we have final details for this yet, then i can confim wether or not i can come!

[Jonny-R]

Dave-R said meet at Crossbush, Arundel. Then on to some lunch and chat about where to go for a blast. On August 4th.

[Ows]

Hey guys, sorry I have not been online much, been crazy busy! My pug is off the road at the mo, but if I can get it back on its toes ill be there for the 4th :)

Hope you are all cool!

Ows

[Jonny-R]

Ah Ows. Sorry to hear that mate - hope you can come your pug looks mint.

How come it's off the road?

[Ows]

Ah Ows. Sorry to hear that mate - hope you can come your pug looks mint.

How come it's off the road?

Quite funny really, Bro went to move it to get the 205 out then it apparently started smoking from the steering column and did a fuse/indicator relay.. supposed to be a common problem :confused: But Im hoping I can get to the dealers and get a new stalk which should sort it all out and leave me ready to enjoy the weekend :)

If anyone has or is breaking a GTI and has a stalk going drop me a PM!

Cheers

Ows

[Stevie_GTI]

times?

[Ows]

times?

New Roman?

I think anytime from 11am onwards? not too early not too late?

[Cannon]

yeah seems ok with me, if i can sneak out, i think i have a publicity meetin on the 4th for an event im hosting at the stripclub (mayyyybe mud wrestling) so i have that at some point, but with any luck if my car is in order i will swing over as soon as im out,
(chek my progres blog for this weeks tasks)

[Jonny-R]

1PM meet would be best, as it will take an hour ish to get there for most people. We'll give the postcode soon.
Looks like it might be a quiet meet, lol.

[Ows]

Im pretty sure I can make it if my stalk is in (sounds like it should be with a baby too lol) Look forward to meeting some of you soon :)

[Dave-R]

Glad you can make it Ows (fingers are crossed anyway). Its been a mission to organise this but here are the final details:

4th August - Sussex meet - 1pm, Crossbush services, Arundel.

Map:

I've made it 1pm to give people enough time to get there who may be traveling from Southampton, for example. Plus the pub is just down the road, so it won't take us long to get there for some lunch/drink and a chat.

If you look at the map, there's a marker on there called "Meeting point". I can't get an exact postcode but BN18 9PQ is near enough (that postcode is for a Beefeater restaurant just before the Crossbush services). It should be easy enough to find as it's on the A27.

If you're coming from Hampshire/Chichester way, when you reach Crossbush you'll see a Beefeater restaurant on your left hand side as you approach a roundabout. Go over the roundabout. Don't take the first exit otherwise you're on your way to Brighton! You should be able to see the BP station and McDonalds which is on your right.

If you're coming the other way, you can't miss it. It's straight infront of you, so go left and the traffic lights on the roundabout and take the next road on your right in to the BP station/McDonalds.

We'll meet in the BP station car park and probably make a move from there about 1.30/1.45pm in case some people are running late.

Also on the map is the "Black Rabbit pub". It's just down the road in Arundel along the river Arun. Weather looks good (partly cloudy). So we can go there for some lunch/drink and a chat. After that we can convoy somewhere? See how things go.

If you want my mobile number "just in case", send me a PM. Hopefully see everyone on Saturday!

Anyone coming from Burgess Hill or Brighton let me know, we can meet up and go together or failing that I will see you there!

Ows

[*jojo*]

just want to know if i come am i going to be the only girl?

[Ows]

Dunny matter if you are a boy or girl, as long as you have a pug and can make it come along! Tis gonna be the first time I am gonna meet people off the forum so knowing me I will prob chat to the wrong people until someone shouts over lol

More the merrier, come along twill be good!

Ows

[Dave-R]

just want to know if i come am i going to be the only girl?

I've had my doubts about Jonny-R at times, so there might be two of you.

Seriously though, I think this is the first meet in Sussex. I don't know anyone either (apart from Jonny-R obviously). So don't stress :) You know you want to come along! It's going to be quality. We've all got something in common too.

[*jojo*]

lol i will try if not will you be making your way over to brighton way at all ? i know nothing about cars lol

[Dave-R]

lol i will try if not will you be making your way over to brighton way at all ? i know nothing about cars lol

Don't worry about not knowing anything about cars. You've got a pug and you're on 106owners.co.uk, so that's the main thing!

To be honest, I have no idea about what we'll do afterwards. I've left the last part open to suggestions and we can chat about that when we're having some food :) I think Ows might be our leader when it comes to any kind of convoy! Either that or TomTom to the rescue, avoiding the A27 so it makes the trip more interesting.

Hopefully see you on Saturday. Take it easy.

[Ows]

I think Ows might be our leader when it comes to any kind of convoy!

Famous last words there mate ;)

But yea, its gonna be laid back, easy going and just a chance to put names and faces to pixels and fonts, we are after all drivers of 106's and we all have that in common...

My stalk has been dispatched so fingers crossed it will be fitted and sorted for Saturday :rolleyes:

Ows

[daddyjohnboy]

jojo my little girls 19 months !!!

Got to make sure the car seat fits ok in the 106 elae i'll have to bring the family focus !!!

Should be there between 1 and half pass, depending on when my baby wakes up and wants feeding !!! Bloody kids !!! lol !!!

Not up for the drive with little one in the car but what i do have is a road rally route plan that ive done with other groups. Its a 120 odd mile two stage route from pease pottage on the a24 to devils dyke in brighton. Will bring a copy with me and if any one is up for it we could make it the next meet?????? tis a bloody good laugh !!

[Jonny-R]

Road Rallye Route plan? That sounds great, bring it up so we can have a look, if this meet goes ok we will do another one with a rallye route!
That's fine, we'll wait up until 1:30 for you.

[Ows]

Still no delivery yet! Fappin postal strike! Should be straight forward enough to replace though when it does arrive... Must appear tomorrow its supposed to be lovely and I dont want to miss this lol

[davef]

Stay local over night and get to Goodwood Racing Circuit for their Breakfast Club meet which this month is German Cars. It's the best FREE car show in the country every first Sunday of the Month (except when the Revival meet is on) Just about every supercar you can think of normally is on show.

[Jonny-R]

Hey guys.
Shame on you for not turning up! Only joking, but would of been nice to meet some more of you.
John came in his mint gti. Really nice guy. We went for Lunch (with Dave's other half too) and then after hit some backroads, upto Peterfield and places. Such good fun as the roads were nearly empty and the weather was gorgeous.

Got some pictures will sort them out at some stage.
We should organise another one where more people come..

[Cannon]

I Concurr!!!!

[*jojo*]

hey got any pictures yet?

[Dave-R]

Easy guys. There were four and a half people.. could have been better but I know these things can't be helped. All in all, it was good. Weather was fantastic! I got nice and sunburnt. Good to meet daddyjohnboy (http://www.106owners.co.uk/forums/member.php?u=351), his little daughter and see his GTi :)

Yeah, there are some photos where me and Jonny-R went on a bit of a drive up to the top of Duncton hill, through to Petworth, Midhurst, Petersfield and then down the A3 back on to the A27 at Havant :cool: There was a random diversion to somewhere called "Dumpford" too. I saw the sign and it amused me, so we headed in it's direction... single track road! Very fun (unless a tractors coming the other way).

Jonny-R has said photos but he's buggered off to France, so I can't get at them.

[*jojo*]

so when is the next meet then? are you going to try make it down maderia drive or something?

[Ows]

Well I am getting my rear discs sorted, and some new rubber on all corners then I will be out and about :-) Madeira Drive is always a good local spot for us Sussex lot, lets get it together.. Think I might start another thread for the Sussex Meet pt 2

[*jojo*]

defonately (spelt it how it sounds to me lol) sounds like a plan and hopefully someone will come with me so i wont be an idiot n get too scared to come on me lonesome
