Meet is firmed up, just need to make times nearer the day Charlotte. I dont know anywhere that way for hotels etc... you may want to steer clear of Yeovil though, can be a bit naff Saturday nights.

There's a Travelodge at Podimore roundabout, a couple of miles from Sparkford if that's any help.. characterless but not expensive.

Cheers,

Plug

Definitely in!
First year and the meet is only just down the road. What luck! Ah just thought about the state of Sophia. Better get some of those jobs done.

I am only in Bristol and I know a few peeps from down that way so will ask around for some recommends on pubs/hotel/etc.

Quite willing to take a drive down if you need someone to front up in person or do a recce so don't be shy in asking.

Thanks Bill... we do need a good pub, decent car park size and open on a Sunday for food after say 1 or 2pm.

Have invited the Fiat Motor Club too, hope some of their members can make it. Also, opened it up to the new Pandas if they are interested.
This could be big

This sounds like a fab meet - I am looking forward to it! :slayer:

Agree . . looking forward to putting some faces to the Panda's. Should be a good 'un

Hmmm, do I have to be 100% sure to put my name on the list. Its so annoying, but my final year project deadline for my engineering degree is the 30th april. Looks to be one hell of an event and mentions of pubbage aswell.

Cheers!

Si, it would be great to see your panda - is the sound system still up and running ?
Right , i really will have to sort that rusty wheel arch out now ...dont want to be the person with the dodgy pink panda
g X

Si, you can put your name down, its only the retro rides one that we need exact numbers. Please try and come, we need a Mk1

Well then, i'd be honoured. I'll put myself down as a "i really want to, and it'd be so cool option i'll make extra special effort to make it" attendee!
I have heard rumours that there is another mk1 panda the same colour as mine (probably a 4x4 then) in minehead and so far i havent been so lucky to find them. There are apparantly a few panda nutcases near where im from, but they are so reclusive lol!!

Gina, the sound system is still up and running indeed. Looking alot tidier nowadays though. Cant find any pics of it atm, will post some up tomorrow maybe. As for rust, mine is alot better now but its still got a fair amount to go yet. Bit like painting the golden gate bridge hahahaha!!

Cheers
Si

Count me in - sounds like it could be good turn out.

I think it likely that I'll be there, though have the same concerns as Si about the end of year deadliness.

Will have to get quite some work done on the car though to make her look a bit more concours than course!
