A few months ago there was talk of a gathering on the south coast. Southampton seems favorite.
Any interest in meeting one week-end?
(i can bring the ISF as well)

Come on guys - the sunshine is here (nearly) so lets get together at a nice pub (for a coke obviously) on the side of a river / sea view and do the Lexus thing.
Me plus 2 is hardly good enough to arrange something...
(don't forget i'll bring the ISF and you can all go for a spin e.t.c.....!!!)
(thanks to Jason and Seolio for putting their names down)

Great, so now we need a four pack of coke lol.
Not sure how to get this thing running as 3 + me is not enough really so can the site admins help us arrange something please? I know it is not an official meet but maybe we can make it one and get some publicity so we can all get together to drool over our Lexus machinery ????

I had been thinking of organising another run down to the south, the london to brighton run was a good one, maybe a london to southamption run would be good.
Will look into it, maybe if you could sort out a meeting point, i can start looking a the start point.

As yet no news. Was hopign the forum moderators would pitch in and help us get this off the ground.
Think we need a minimum of a dozen of us.
If we can join up with the london to southampton rally we can always go up to london(ish) and join the procession back to south coast and have adouble header type meet.
[size=5][b]Forum Moderators [/b]- [/size]can you help us with this please...especially as the weather is so good at the moment it would be a shame not to all meet up.

Johnboy already said he could sort out a run if you decided on a meeting point to end up, then perhaps he can arrange a start point and off we go !
We probably just need to pick a date and then see who can make that date, then if there are enough it's a goer !
I would say you don't even need a dozen people, of course the more the merrier, but even a handful is enough for a meet !

When we did the run to Brighton, we met up at Crystal Palace, i was thinking of meeting up at the Grasshopper inn in Westerham this time, then avoiding the motorways down to southampton.
We need to know where we are going to meet in southampton.

OK guys, as i started this post I best make the suggestion.
Firstly, yes I know S'ton is next to the sea but there is not too many places suitable witha seaview so I am opting for ease of travel instead.
Just of the M3 jct 11 you can head towards Bishops Waltham and Tyford. After about 5 miles there is a large pub called Fisher's Pond, with large carpark, surounded by straight and quiet country lanes (can't think why we might enjoy those).
Location link is here so any takers? Shall we go for:
Saturday August 1st?
1pm
The Fishers Pond
Main Rd
Fishers Pond, Eastleigh, SO50

Saturday August 1st from 1pm.
I'll PM the Mods and ask if they put our announcements to give us some air time or it will be about 3 of us which would be a bit rubbish...
i'll change the poll to see who will be coming

Well, for those who didn't make the meet I can honestly say you missed a treat!!!
The topless jelly wrestling went down a storm, despite Steve's obvious flaunting of the rules by wearing a full mankini!! (Sorry the photo's were withheld by the developers on the grounds of poor taste)

and the car park looked great- literally overflowing with Lexi !!
See you all at JAE....

Well consider yourself lucky....later that day I discovered that the ISF can actually "drive" through the gears whilst at a standstill. The burnout you got was just 1st gear - I managed 1st, 2nd, 3rd and into 4th gear later and the smoke was truly immense!!!
The feat will not be repeated now for quite some time (approx 5000 miles) as i now have four new boots (and wheels - thank you Lexus GB) so best keep the burnouts to well....zero!!! – it was funny looking at the old wheels - quite "scrubbed" !
Unfortunately I asked for the photos but apparently they have been sent to MI5 for further analysis!!!
