Gussie,
Thanks very much for your efforts in getting me a lift to donno on sunday, but it looks like I might have to give it a miss. I've been asked to work on sunday, and at double time (Can't pass up £600 for a days work!) well, do I need to go any further....?
Thanks again for your efforts, and I'll buy you a pint on the 25th! :-)

The Churchillian is closed!!!
SHOCK! HORROR! Drove past the Churchillian this morning on the way to work and it's completely boarded up for refit!!!!!!!!
It certainly doesn't look like it's going to be open for the 25th....
Anyone got an idea of a different venue?

Phil,
Being a stereo-typical I.T. "pie eater" I think this is a fantastic idea. However, I hope no one has a scooby that's too low as that carpark is a bit of a shambles.

Opposite the Churchillian then.
How bad is the car-park? My Scoob is v.low and I don't want to lose my exhaust!!
Karlos - Sorry to hear you can't make it - see you on 25th.

They have resurfaced it recently, it's a bit bumpy off the tarmac, but even this isn't to bad, I think there may be a speed hump half way along, but you can go round it, or come in from the other end, so not to much to worry about! A lot of the RS and corsa boys get up there of an evening with their lower motors, so it should be ok.

Hang on, Hang on...!
If its OK (car-parkwise)at that place opposite the Churchillian, shall we meet there anyway?
It was the easiest place that everyone agreed on and Mr.Cookie kindly provided a map etc so....... 12pm, 25th Feb, opposite Churchillian. Everyone OK with that? We can try a different place the next time if it turns out to be cr@p.
Scooby-tc, did I see your car (Silver WRX, number plate below air intake) at the Quays meet last Sunday?

Hi People, Churchillian IS open for business, you just gotta use the back door instead of the front! Its closed in March for the refit, but they are keeping it open as long as possible! Beer (I mean a shandy) is still on the menu!!!

Gents,
Drove past the Churchillian this morning, and, although still looking like a building in Baghdad, there is a big sign outside now saying "open all day during renovation!"
Hooray!
We can still have a beer!

i belive it's very popular for Sunday lunch,so the may be a lack of parking out the front of the pub, but last time we parked round the back and people missed it, so it may be a case of all over the view point, or some round the back and some round the front of the pub ????

Hi people, I would be interested to come to pompey to meet likewise scooby nutters. I have a dutch GT left hooker and have been trying to get to meets ever since. I go back to Germany sunday night (driving) but would like to bring down the love of my life (and my girlfriend!) to see what all the fuss is about. Could someone E mail the details please.
Cheers Al.

AL, I had the mail I sent to you returned ? head for Portsmouth, then ask anyone where the view point or the churchillian pub is, they should point you in the right direction.
or get to Portsmouth and ring me on my mobile 07718 161012

Theres a map on the first page of this thread.....
As for anyone unsure of where we're meeting, I reckon we go for the Churchillian first - if the car-parks too small, we can always move over the road to the viewing point.

So, are we all agreed for Sunday?
12-ish
Churchillian (provided the car-park isn't too full)
If it proves a nightmare then we move to the viewing point opposite
Roll-call time.........
Whos coming and what are you driving?
I'm in a MY94 Black WRX - low with nice cheesy gold 17" Superturismos

12:00 on the 25th it is...
MY94 WRX RA in white (looks like a GL)
So, now I've got to wash and wax the scoob, finish my driving lights, tighten the turbo housing to stop it rattling, and clear a hangover before 11:00 on Sunday.
Be prepared to see a dirty scoob with wires all over under the bonnet, making a rattling noise.

Fella's,
Keep your eyes open for a COMPLETELY standard MY96' in red with a bashed rear bumper (on both corners I still cannot believe my wife's driving is that bad!) You'll know it's me, 'cause when I turn off the ignition you can here the broken heat shield rattle for miles around!! Roll on the 15th and my visit to Scoobysport.... :-)
Karlos
PS - Does anyone know the bloke who drove his scooby off the hill on thursday night? Read it in the Pompey News on friday... Siver MY99/00 (guessing 'cause of spoiler)
