London to Brighton...

Featured Replies

hicksy did say he was going on holiday so it's possible that he may not answer for a bit?

Just out of interest if this was open to other skoda's/ guests of furby's how many would be interested?

I'd have to agree with the others on opening it up to everyone (and at a push the VAG offsping as there will only be a few). You will also get a lot more joining in.

just to bounce this back up and give it an update.

Spoke to Skoda UK, they are not interested in having there name to this, or are they interested in helping in anyway. Which is a bit of a shame. So if anyone from Skoda UK is reading this and would like to comment please e-mail me as per my profile :P

Shouldnt this be open to ALL briskoda members?

Steve

steve,

it may well be opened to all, we are just waiting for the thread starter to come back from his holiday.

I agree, i think a briskoda london to brighton sounds great, all cars have to have the sticker though, just to make it clear whats going on, as the smart lon to brighton baffled me for about 4 or 5 miles :D

Sorry people, have been on night duty, go on holiday tomorrow so thats why I haven't been posting on the thread :P

It doean't bother me if other Skoda's fancy rosking up to the meet, the more the merryier (dodge spelling :confused: ) was only making it a Fabia thing to see if we could rustle up enough for a Fabia only crusie down to Brighton cos the sight of 30 - 40 Fabia's in a row on the motorway / a / b roads would be great!!! :thumbup:

However it seems clear from the interst shown on the thread that this just won't be possible, therefore any Skoda's are welcome to come and join ;)

But we do need definate numbers and not just "oh yeah I might come" owners :rolleyes:

Stickers... anyone got any thoughts or ideas?

Alexst... Completely agree with you about the parking situation on Brighton, however what about the Marina? Is that ok for parking? Admittedly last time I went there it was a mid week evening, but there appeared to be mega loads of room for Skoda's, even the super sized Octy's ;)

Any further thoughts on the "Petrol station acting as check point" idea?

I'll be coming back from holiday on Wednesday (only a short walking holiday in Devon) so will be checking the thread then... I expect progress guys and girls ;):thumbup:

How about using the Coloured curl from the top of the page with the following wording- " London to Brighton 2004 Briskoda.net "

This could be put onto paper and displayed in a window of the car.

Could get 3 / 4 to a page of A4, so would need numbers, so that we know how many to produce.

Steve

just 11 cars!!! :rofl: come on chaps.... roll up roll up!

Steve I'm off work from tomorrow for a week so I will play about with some ideas and see if I can knock some sort of design up.

As for the rally theme, what about if we could get a few dealers along the way to help out, and see if we could use them as some sort of check point meeting point? It might be a good PR stun for them?

FF

Colin has alredy supplied me with a copy of the curl ( some tinkering David & I were doing ).

Will have a go myself as well.

Steve

So before I put too much time into this do we want the navigation / quiz thingie I mentioned earlier.......

Andy

You can be the Routemaster then

:rally: :auto:

Cheers, Jerry

After the birds comments about being a car freak recently ( :finger: ) I'm not sure I can be persuaded - it might cost me my danglies :eek:

Matt

Bring the lovely tweety with you, Briskoda meets are not all male.

Steve

The missus is coming with me :sigh:

Mainly because i dont know any one on this forum :(

Painful, although I think you'll agree that after the fun you've had on the day it'll be worth it :rofl:

or like lfc958 suggested bring your beloved along, i'm sure others will be attending with birds :D

Anyway Matt_vRS by the sounds of it if you don't come along your housemate will be pursuading/annoying/bugging you to join in the fun!!

andy ellis... how's the route / check point plan coming along? Any luck with tying in Skoda dealers?

Hicksy :D

There is a skoda dealer in crawley down, on the A264 10 mins from the A23, as far as i know thats on the way, not a lot of space to park in though, however there are 2 large laybys just of junction 10 which could hold about 30 sensibly parked cars. I go that way to work every day.

Parking around the marina and alond the sea front sounds good.

Ill be bringing along my fiancee... lovely!

Have we got a set date yet, and is this going to be opened to other skoda owners, maybe Octy Vrs and Fab Vrs? Or just all skodas!?

Looking forward to the day guys, lets get things going. Let me know if any help is needed?

Alex

Anyone travelling from the south west? Cornwall/Devon/Somerset/Dorset?

Hicksy

Will post some piccy''s for ideas for Car recogntion badges for the event.

Also as Walkie said above about not knowing names will post some name badge styles.

I found at trax there were so many people, there couldnt remember names of people I met.
