South London & Surrey M meet

[Rocketeer]

Hey I have seen you hold some meets at Rykas occasionally. I know it well I only live about 20 minutes from there, so would love to attend the next meet arranged and meet some locals and find out what’s what in the m3 world. Like where you all recommend work on the cars as I have only used evo specialists for the last 11 years not a clue bmw specialists.

Next meet will be around march/April. Join us on FB: search thesouthernmpire

Due to the COVID 19 pandemic, it looks like any early summer meets are not going to happen. I’ll keep an eye on the situation and update you all as things unravel. Keep safe everyone.

May well be able to get a couple of meets in this year by the looks of things. I’ll keep you all posted.

Any updates on the meet yet? Just moved the SMG and itching to get out and give it a test

 

[Rocketeer]

I have emailed the owner of RYKAS (where I normally hold the meet) but I’ve not yet heard. I may take a drive up there and check out the situation. I’ll keep you posted.

I’ll be honest with you. I’ve now been given the space for some meets whenever I want to but I’m a little worried about this virus lately. It definitely Seems to be picking up pace. I just can’t afford to put myself and my family at risk. I know it’s a shame not to run these meets but the health of myself, my family, and of course all those who will attend must come first so I’m not willing to put anyone at risk at the moment. It’s just not worth it. I’ll keep you all updated, that I can promise.

No problem we appreciate that you arrange the meets and respect whatever you decide, whenever you are ready we will be back to support them and it will be great to see everyone again.

I appreciate your support and understanding buddy. Let’s hope this is all over soon.

HEADS UP!
I’ve applied to book the next southern Mpire meet at box hill’s RYKAS cafe on the Sunday 8th August. Just awaiting the green light and will let everyone know in due course. I’ve picked this date particularly because it’s a NON F1 RACE DAY! So no excuses Greg!!
It’s the first one since 2019 due to the super pandemic that we have all been so lovingly experiencing. So I’ve decided to make the first one a little different & probably special. I’m inviting all owners of exotica to bring your cars along. If you own or any of your pals own anything special: Ferrari, McLaren, Porsche, Nissan GTR, Maserati, Lotus and of course the usual “M” cars or something of interest to car lovers, then get your keys out of the drawer, open the garage gate and bring it along. Would be nice to have some old ford RSs/Mexicos along too! So if you’ve got it.... bring it along and FLAUNT IT!
As per usual.... please, this is a family venue so absolutely NO HOTDOGGING, anti social driving and general bad behaviour. It only affects you guys and prevents me from getting the places I need to run these events. Remember: this is YOUR meet, YOU make it happen, without YOU it doesn’t happen, so please let’s all enjoy the day & have everyone home safely at the end of the drive with some great photos of the day for those that enjoy social media.
I’ll keep you all updated as it’s only a preliminary date. Would be great to see you all there with some of those super-cars some of you guys hide in those quiet garages!
Hope to see you all there!
