post videos pls!
Once our UK meet is finalised, I'll make sure we produce a damn fine video of the occasion, so you can see how we do things over here.

Other videos I've uploaded previously are here.

Here's a link to a Dutch z3 & z4 meet- it always makes me smile!

Hi guys, been away for a while. Good to see there's another attempt to meet up.

I hope to join you on w/e 22/23rd April.......have applied for a 'day pass' from the other half............it'll get me out of seeing the relatives as well!

Hi,

I'd be interested in the first UK meet.
Has a date been finalised yet 22nd or 23rd April? Is the venue Donnington Park?

If I am able to make it I'd be the oldest Viv at 38!

Yes!
If you can make it there Hitman, then I'm not going to feel like the old fogey anymore- excellent!

If everyone can confirm a date & venue, then we can make some arrangements sooner than later.

The sooner we get general agreement from everyone the better.

It'll take me about 2.5 hours to get there and may be longer for some others as I think we're pretty well spread out.

So a late morning meeting time would be sensible for most I would have thought! That's the sort of time we had planned for the aborted meet last year.

I'll have to get there extra early to wash mine again..........that's the trouble with Jet Black........it gets dirty after 10 minutes of driving!! I can't be the only one there with a dirty car!!!

Anytime is fine for me webcoll.
There's a UK thread about what members use to clean their cars here.

If we can sort out members sharing different cleaning stuff (polish, wheel cleaners etc) if they want to make sure all cars look top, then all the better.
I'm happy to bring some of my own Autoglym stuff for everyone to use if they need.
It had better not rain. :mad:

It would be nice to have international members come over to other countries' meets whilst on holiday etc.


I'm sure I speak on behalf of other UK members when I say it would be great to see members from other countries at our meets in future.

All the best cntlaw.

Sounds good to me ! Do check us out if you and whoever you know is coming to Hong Kong. Our 2nd meet also falls into the same Easter period as UK's.

Looking forward to seeing so many cool E90`s together!!

I'm still okay for the 22nd April, really looking forward to it!! Midday would suit me as I'm about 2.5 hours away.

Will be good to meet everyone and put faces to names!

Thanks cntlaw!
I'd love to come to an e90 meet Hong Kong!
I've just come back from 2 weeks in Miami & Florida with my wife saying it'll keep me away from e90post.com for a while.
It'll take a while for her to accept me going to Hong Kong just for that very purpose!

Right then, shall we say the "first" e90post.com UK meet will be on Saturday April 22nd at Donington Park to start at 12pm?

More the merrier, I reckon?!
I'm trying to get two friends to along with me- one to record the meet on HD digital so we can make a video & one to take some good photos.
Is that ok with everyone?

A drive to somewhere local for a drink, meal etc afterwards would be good for me- anyone with me on this & any ideas from those who know the area?

Sorry I missed the last few days but was in Malaysia watching the GP. Hope my engine lasts a few more miles than Heidfeld's BMW. That thing let go in a massive fashion.

Anyway, still on for the meet, and midday on Sat sounds good to me. I know a few people who live around the area-ish, so when I get back to the UK next week I could maybe ring around and see if anyone can suggest a decent place to eat around Donnington. Good to hear that there are a few more people showing interest. Hope we can all make it as it sounds like it will be a good crowd! May bring a couple of people along too, though I dont think I can add anything to video/photo production as my sony digital camera isnt anything special, so maybe I will just bring an E90!!!
