I'm going from West London (Near Heathrow Airport) to Horsham to meet MatBat and we are driving down to the meet.

So if anyone else is near then they can join us.

I'd like to but it's a bit out of my way (holland/belgium)

Also driving on the "wrong" side of the road scares the sh*it out of me

Have fun en post some pics of the 480-ties in action?!

hey, what interest me, give one realistic reason why you wrong way drivers organise a may meet as you SHOULD be in luxemburg, together with the rest of the world ?

no offence, just curious what you are going to say.

don't give me this "distance" or lhd crap, because this is only fun in a 480, and its really not far at all, less than a two hour drive behind Antwerp.

ferries don't cost the world these days.

scared to leave your mammies court ?

@ Volvofox only,,,, No, We just don't like your anti-UK views so we are to boycott you!

nah, I really don't know the real answer. I'm guessing it's just timing and it's also cool to have two at the same time

and i don't even have a passport!

@martin holmes : you know i am just teasing you for an answer.
@mr. ! roll : you don't need a passport, you will need the same identification you need to keep with you at home. : )

I remember the may meet in my backyard in born ( i was just out of the hospital from eye surgery) there was only one who had the courage to be there (if i am not mistaken it was Lee, a small skinny guy with a long leather coat on ?) Its like "ying" whitout "yang" as only LHD "s are there and it feels to me like a fainthharted move to organise a coutermeet.

Hmm, anyways. I don';t feel much like going to luxemburg (not far either) because you guys aren't there. ( i do mean this

) it feels like "my" club is not present without the rhd's

martinholmesuk · Post by **martinholmesuk** » Sun Apr 11, 2004 9:00 pm

Now that is a plan!!!

MatBat · Post by **MatBat** » Sun Apr 11, 2004 9:02 pm

Well, we could all meet at my house. Wash/wax cars, pump up tyres, check levels and head off to Meet.

martinholmesuk · Post by **martinholmesuk** » Sun Apr 11, 2004 9:02 pm

MatBat · Post by **MatBat** » Sun Apr 11, 2004 9:05 pm

Hey that was silly to give that info away!

BTW, never noticed any of you did. Being NOT PRO UK minded is not the same as being ANTI. to many peops thing black/white these days. History shown that this is one of the worst atitudes there is (eat your hart out, mr. chimp. bush) Never meant to hurt anyones feelings, just woken you up a bit sometimes

being here amongs you some years learned me most of you are not that bad.

Dave DBS,Ben,Dan J365 JGV.You all okay with Matt's place as a meet up then?I certainly am!Didn't realise this post may kick off some sort of international 480 race-dissing banter too!I for one am well up for this meet overseas!Guys?Fancy a 480 far-flung flying ting?!p.s. since I moved up from Matt's neck of the woods to 'kin Norfolk,I shall be temporarily spraying C**k P*ss Partridge along the side of my car!Ahaaaaa!

dbsvolvos · Post by **dbsvolvos** » Mon Apr 12, 2004 7:06 pm

id prefer to meet up on the M4/A34 new bypass thingy since i need to go across and down at the same time , saying that im easy on things like that as long as it isnt a long way out of my travel plans .

catgroom · Post by **catgroom** » Mon Apr 12, 2004 8:46 pm

Well I'll go down with you if thats cool and wait to hear about an alternative meeting place from Matt and Martin,yeah?Guys?The rubber ball is in your driveway!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MatBat · Post by **MatBat** » Mon Apr 12, 2004 9:51 pm

Well I don't mind if people meet at my place, I have plenty of space, it's about 90 miles from Horsham to Devizes (quite straight forward route).
I have water etc. So people can wash cars if needed. Fuel here is currently 96.9-97.9p Litre if needed.
