If the location is okay might be worth doing it again there.

I certainly like the location (was near my house 🙂) and the owner of the Departure Lounge was more than happy to have us back should we decide to return.

I also want to have a look and see if that aircraft fuselage has anything in it 🙂

Yes I noticed the fuselage too. With Lasham just up the road I wonder if it came from there. Many years ago Dan Air had big hangars at Lasham and we sprayed a few of them back in the day when they serviced big passenger jets.

With permission, I'd like to download the photos and stick across on the LOC facebook group if that's ok with everyone? 🙂

Fine by me

It seems the post itself overall was well received and sparked some interest in future meets, which is superb.

As always some negative nancy's - where was my invite... can you do a non F car meet next time...

I did explain as clearly as I could that the club itself did not organise, it was a members idea and of course there is nothing stopping other groups organising their own meets... can't please everyone these days!

I do like the idea of more 'F meets', as well as an 'All Lexus' meet, can bring the slammed NX... (kidding), but the LS's could see some daylight!

We should target JapFest 2023 as a club and then try some regional bits (like Saturday) in between.

PS your car sounds insane mate! lol

I’ll pin a announcement next time thes a meet so the fb members get a heads up….👍🏻

I know but at least I’ll try to settle the peasants 😂 

putting up a post just now explaining it wasn’t a FB organised meet and in future i will pin a meet post so all can see and get involved if they want….. either that or we get a directory of everyone’s address and sent them a flipping personal invite, with a rsvp and self addressed return envelope 🤦🏼‍♂️😂

No good deed goes unpunished!

So, I can confirm yes a branch DID hit my car and yes it DID leave a mark!

Luckily it hit the windscreen - which I only just noticed today....having had a dirty windscreen for a while.

Managed to get it off with glass cleaner, but took some elbow grease.

I am very lucky it did not hit bodywork, it would have dented for sure. PHEW.

That's super lucky Billy!  Could have been a disaster if it chipped paint / dented.

[BillNick]

Yes it would have. Mind you, if it hit the bonnet it would have forced my hand to get that stone chip monstrosity sorted at same time...

Still, lucky 🙂

As someone who heard the thunk when the branch landed on your car, I am glad there was no lasting damage.  Lucky, as you say 🙂
