Idea for the next SW meet-

**Heddleston** · 10-02-2005 09:21

i Know we all get pictures of all the cars at the meets etc- but what about nextime- actually putting a bit of thought into it and getting some 'proper' shots of all the cars in the region (or those that turn up anyway) Kinda like a school photo but with cars

Just think as we've got a nice bunch of cars down here, why not put a bit of time into it and get some nice photos etc.

Obviously we'd need to have a real push and try and get more members to turn up also but i think it's be worth it.

Opinions people?!?!

Good idea mate,will have to bring the cav and not the astra estate though LOL

**Brett** · 10-02-2005 19:03

yeah I like the idea, Last time we did that it was done on Weston Zoyland airfield and a pic was in TV!!!

Ia there any good places round exeter?

**Heddleston** · 10-02-2005 19:17

yeah- some not too far away- or the only place i can think of in exeter is the DOuble Locks Pub- i love it there, but it's an 'aquired' taste.

Got topsham, sidmouth, starcross all close by- possibly wiseco will know a few better places.

**LEE69** · 10-02-2005 21:14

Sounds a good idea mate.

**wisecobandit** · 10-02-2005 22:01

Sounds good to me to.

Pity about the timing as i couldve got a 2 million pound mansion and lake setting as a backdrop where some playboy films have been made but "Sir" has just had the builders start work and its pretty well going on all through summer. (anyone see the F 'ing Fulfords on tv? well its his residence.)
Depends on backdrops and timings etc as most places like double locks are pub car parks etc and it'll be hard to get all the cars together without "foreigner vehicles" being in the shot.
Baring that in mind im thinking....
a) A carpark up on the moors suitable somewhere between tavistock-sourton/okehampton for a moorland backdrop
b) A carpark up on Woodbury Common of similar nature and setting
c) Possibly the carpark at Exmouth by the estuary behind the bus station for an estuary backdrop
d) A carpark up on haldon for a tree backdrop but thinking unless its a very good day pics maybe dark?
e)If all else fails i can use a field of the old mans but it may not be the best backdrop but atleast we would be undisturbed by anyone and could set the cars up whichever way we wanted etc (obviously being a field it would be slightly dependant on the grounds condition if it had been raining)
f)i'll keep thinking lol

**Heddleston** · 10-02-2005 22:09

feck knows i'm only 25- bit before my time old timer

feckin Gypos - what about the other side then- down the side of the other little chef- 'skirting' the racetrack- opens up a bit further down as it starts to drop- either that or somewhere in/around chudleigh???

**wisecobandit** · 10-02-2005 22:31

Theres several car parks around there mate probably suitable.Theres a few past the gypo place to aswell as the other side of the dual carriageway.Either that or we all pull up on a bit further on Teignmouth golf course for a few pics

**wisecobandit** · 10-02-2005 22:34

Or theres the reservoirs up near Mortonhamstead but havent been up there for a long time but there used to be some biggish car parks up there?

Hell i need to get myself a lay and i'll soon find some good ones then.....

Oh how the fun the old days used to be in small cars.......

**chip** · 11-02-2005 08:54

I'lll pop along if you do, but im not really into the whole window-licking thing, id sooner see a car hanging the arse out and splattered with mud etc than all polished up and poofy looking.
But good excuse for a drink afterwards which is the main thing

Chip- you can only come if you supply us all with a 100 shot set up of Nos

I'd rather see a car giving it stacks into a corner too bud- but like i said- will make for some good photos- hell you can enjoy getting your all muddy again after- like having a blank canvas

**coolamasta** · 11-02-2005 09:40

Im up for that

How about Exmouth Seafront? There is a nice stretch to park up the cars for some pics before we go to pub (or after the pub lmao) Just an idea anyway

Already thought about that mate but they are having a major crackdown on motoring down there.
They have installed CCTV and have constant patrols there.They are dishing out fines for wheel spinning,loud music etc.
It only takes of few instances and it may put a downer on the day.Guess what im trying to say whilst in "collective form" a group of miggers could not withstand being law abiding citizens the temptation would be to much for most lmao

As if we would! lmao

Never knew that mate, not been to Exmouth for years

Well I don't mind where we go as long as its not silly miles away from Exeter lmao

**chip** · 11-02-2005 15:21

Unless i can chat toyota into releasing me for a couple of weeks before the next meet (which i dont really want to do to be honest cause im skint and need the money from working right now!) i will be in my alfa anyway, so no photos for me anyway.

Will stop pop along for the beer though

**Heddleston** · 11-02-2005 22:39

What about seeing if any of the other regions (south central are closest i suppose) want to come along- get the number up and that-

But then we'd also be looking at 'possibly' moving the meet to maybe taunton or something so it's a bit closer- obviously depending on how many wanted to attend?

what do you reckon

**Brett** · 14-02-2005 19:04

Hey! Im the only suspected dogger in this reigon

**richie00boy** · 15-02-2005 10:57

When is this likely to take place? I'm new here and would like to meet some of you lot, but calendar is pretty full ATM

I'm between Bath and Salisbury (5 mins from Longleat) so the nearer that way the better

We usually meet at Exeter on the last sunday of the month- if you're up near longleat (near warminster iirc) then possibly the South Central meets might be a bit closer, i don't know where they actuall meet TBH but worth seeing.

If you are closer to use then it would probably be for Next months meet i reckon to give us a bit of time to sort numbers and locations (want lots of people/cars).

kepp checking this post.

**Heddleston** · 15-02-2005 11:23

**LEE69** · 15-02-2005 11:34
