Cobham Services (M25) meet - Wednesday 26th June, 8pm

Featured Replies

After recently chatting to and meeting up with a few other members we decided to setup a meet and extend the invite to all like-minded enthusiasts and Brisky members.  Just park up, grab a drink/bite to eat if you like and spend a couple of happy hours chatting about cars and comparing mods 😊

 

When

Wednesday June 26th, 8pm

 

Where

Cobham Services, just off the M25 near J10 (A3)

To remain discreet and stay out of the way of others please park at the furthest end of the car park as you arrive, here if possible:

Yeah is to me, sounds good and yeah should be ok to get there.

 

one question, would a pub not be better? Just a thought and not raining on any parade 🙂

Image result for it's a bold strategy cotton meme Potentially :) - but I think @jaygemson's initial thoughts were dependent on final numbers & Cobham was relatively central. 

Definitely free to suggest a few places though... pub > Nandos

Great! Be good to meet you 👍🏻

 

Pub definitely trumps a service station, but this isn’t any service station 😂 It’s like a shopping mall of restaurants, the car park is humongous and it’s easy to find/get to.

A couple of things to bear in mind:

 

  • If you are there for more than 2 hours the ANPR will issue you a parking ticket (maximum free stay is two hours).
  • The area around where you have highlighted is used for HGV overflow parking at night.

Looks like Extra may have upped it to 3 hours (Welcome Break website gives conflicting info) - but great point, may need to pay for parking when inside...

I usually hit first right when entering the car park at Cobham, and drive along for a bit as it's usually a more secluded area ('10-11 o-clock' direction on the map above - where the orange-looking van is). 

 

That might be a better area for a smaller group?

Thanks for the head's up @Gizmo.

 

We'll be mindful of the time limit when we're there to avoid issues, but I reckon 2 hours is plenty on a school night anyway 😊


As for the meeting area, as I can't edit my original post let's aim for the area I've highlighted to avoid confusion, and if it's busy or has HGVs we'll head for the spot suggested by @Ads230 👍

Been a month since chatterings on here - do we know final attendees for this?

 

Bit aggy since the car-wash facility near our flat is being used to store a ship container full of builders' equipment either side, so I may turn up with dutty wheels - less than optimal. But I will be there 😎

Hey Ads!

 

Yep, we're still game on.  At the moment it's just yourself, Chris, me and a mate of mine in an RS3 who's tagging along.  One chap who was originally confirmed has now sold his vRS but might come down anyway.  You never know though, we may get a few lurkers along too 👍

 

 

I’m still coming....there is beer 

Awesome. I'm still aggy as it'll be first time I've turned up to a meet without a washed car and the engine covers are still not finished 😒. I'll drive around to find you guys in CP, then 'Spoons I guess?

No worries @Ads230, certainly won't be any judgement from here that's for sure.  I only managed to finish cleaning mine in the dark at 10pm last night after the family holiday last week left it looking very second hand, and it was touch and go as to whether I was going to even manage that!

Nice one @Chris245.  Looking forward to meeting you!

 

Might be quite an intimate meet but I'm looking forward to it anyway 👍

I don't think they allow that sort of thing in Cobham services anymore... ;)

It's cool, you can get a special permit :laugh:

I.NEED.FOOD......and beer.

 

how many of us is there?

Sounds like 4, counting Jay, his RS3 mate, you and I...

4 better than nothing.....

Ok where is everyone? I’m right by the front in the parent and child at the moment by the coach park

You found us.

Found the cars? Hoping you are all in the pub 

Great to meet you gents this eve ☺️👍 my list of Wants and To-Do’s is even longer now. Defs was a bit of ‘spool’ on the way out from you both @Chris245 and @jaygemson 👌 lovely stuff. Should do again soon - but with actual Pub this time 😉

Cheeky little meet eh @Ads230 @Chris245 👍  Good to meet you both as well.  You've both got cracking motors with some tasty mods.  Cheers for the mini test drive too Ads!
