Also how much is this costing I dont remember reading anything about money.

That’s coz it’s free mate

[Bolesroor]

Is there a plan to meet on route or at the destination?

Haven’t had a chance to fathom out a route, but it would be nice to meet and convoy up...

Guess other side of the water / m25 would be a good meeting point..

I’ll try take a look tonight unless anyone has a free few mins during the day?

Ryan

[Rdlangy1]

a quick look at the route, and we could meet at Lakeside just the other side of the tunnel, or we could meet further up the M25?

[Bolesroor]

Shell at junction 7 M11 is approximately 11 minutes from destination, about 60 minutes from the tunnel depending on traffic?

Meet there 8:20am and leave at 8:35am so we arrive slightly early as we are booked in 9am till 1pm with the detailing guys

Everyone happy with that?

Thanks for posting up Steve

[Rdlangy1]

If we could bring as many scoobs as possible please guys - I did tell them we were a scooby club and it’s part of the reason they agreed to the free demo etc..

They might also post up the meet on their insta pages and website if we have a good turnout which is good publicity for the club

[Leight]

I'll bring my one then, I'm looking forward to it should be a bit of fun.

[Rdlangy1]

See everyone tomorrow.

Just had to do the same

[Red Baron]

Rather than all trying to get on the garage forecourt shall we meet in the services car park instead, probably a bit more room and hopefully a coffee shop as well

Great idea Shane

Is the address the same?

[Red Baron]

Yep, the Shell garage is the fuel stop for the services so just follow the signs for parking rather than fuel.

Your phone has auto corrected my name

That junction and services gets very very busy due to its location to the airport.
You could end up queing for an hour to get in and back out again.
We used to use it when travelling to see the parents but avoid it now after a few times getting caught in traffic.

[Red Baron]

I had wondered but hoped it would be ok at that time.

[HYDROSCOBY]

Hi all, I'm here and had to pay 15 pound for parking as I will be here for more than 2h lmao oh well, lesson learned. See you all soon

When I got in there is when I found out and you couldn't leave with a 3h break in between, so I had know choice. I surpose I could of just meet everyone there but I didn't really think about that, as I didn't have much sleep.

Was a good day thou, so thanks everyone

[Red Baron]

Thanks for arranging today Ryan, was really interesting and useful.



Hope everyone had a good drive back, I've just discovered the original Red Baron, be nice if I could park the Scoob alongside for a photo.

There is a McDonalds and Bp next to the short stay/drop off car park if you find yourself in a similar situation in future .

[Bolesroor]

Thanks for organising Ryan and your advice on what cleaning products to buy, went for more items than the 20% discount as the till seemed challenging to say the least when trying to refund, well that's my excuse anyway 😉

I think Joe was hoping for more support when cleaning George's car 😆 I did find his demonstrations very useful 👍IMG_20190817_135112635_HDR.jpgIMG_20190817_121657044_HDR.jpg

A really useful day, just learning some of the basics and chatting about what's what. 20% discount on everything was a bonus too!

Oh, and remember to pay your Dart Charge guys!

[Rdlangy1]

Glad everyone enjoyed...

I thought Joe and his team were very good and the free drinks all day and freedom to do whatever we liked very very nice. A very hospitable approach..

Hope people got some good deals and enjoying using their products

Cheers Ryan i thought is was a very good morning and was nice doing something different. I know it takes time and effort to organize something like this and every other meet and it doesn't go unnoticed the effort that you and the others put in to make the club what it is. Thank you.

Would like to echo everybody’s positive comments. Thank You. Most likely will book in for the session in September.

[Frenchie]

What's the date for the September session?

They do training courses for different levels which I think SB is referring to?

Me too, really great meet and thanks for organising Ryan. Hope you picked up at least one tip you weren't already aware of! 😏😬
Was great to be have the freedom to join a meet again too. One day a meet down your way will coincide with a trip down to see my parents, but until then I will probably be waiting for the ring 2020 😋

Well I've been out and played with some of the products today.

Iron out works well.


As does the big wheel cleaning brush although I did pop the little rubber cap off the end of it, think it got caught on the lip of the stone guard.


Pear scented snow foam is good as well but isn't as pungent as the Water Melon one we used up there.


Also tried the trick of spraying some detailer onto the wet panel before drying and it does aid the drying process using a drying towel.

[Rdlangy1]

Superb shane

Glad all working as expected...

Was also going to try that when i next get round to car cleaning...

Need to find a chance to get out there and clay the scoob and beemer ready to machine them. I expect i'll have to go panel by panel until i run out of time as the likelihood of getting a full day on it is slim!
