I'm really interested in going, but I can't make the Sunday. I'm waiting to hear from a friend, otherwise I might make my own way there on Saturday. Can't wait to see your car!

Come on you lot! Are any more of you coming along to this meet, it would help hugely to know numbers as we are planning to meet at a nearby venue to excel now in east London and need to know how many cars we need spaces for and how many sitting at the tables for food or drink

A couple of weeks ago we had a big list of people all expressing an interest in coming to a SE meet and now we are trying to organise one. . . . .

Do I really have to start PM-Ing everyone near London again??

Please put my name down provisionally, if i can't go to the show hopefully i can meet the 8 crew. Its school half term that week so becomes bit tricky.
Where is Marcin, Neeldub and all the other londoners?

Hi Neil, any clues yet as to where and what time you are thinking of meeting up?
As I mentioned in a PM to Tintin, my elder son is also going (with a friend who has tickets) so we may combine it with taking SWMBO to his place in Shoreditch and park there, travelling on by Uber, bus or DLR.

Depending on how all that works out (he's visiting us later today and we will discuss) there may be two of us (or none!) at the "nearby venue".

But I will almost certainly be at the show, one way or another! Though I haven't yet found the Sunday opening hours.

Hi Andrew - opening times are here: http://www.thelondonclassiccarshow.co.uk/buy-tickets/
and are 10am till 5pm on Sunday. What works for you in terms of timing? - if you give us an idea of that, then we'll see if we can work around that.

Stephen, it looks like we will "probably" stay in Shoreditch on Saturday night and my son will come along with me on Sunday (not his mates!) so timing will be fine for a breakfast meet as he is a very early riser!

But, just to cover the bases, any chance you could post me 2 tickets? I'll PM you.

Hi Neil and Stephen, any update on your thoughts for meeting up next Sunday?

My #2 son is also interested in coming along, though as a BMW driver (M135i) he knows he may be a bit of a pariah in our company.
He lives out East on the Central Line so will probably go via Stratford on the tube and DLR.

Hi all

Right well I'll tell you what I'm planning and as we've had little feedback then what the rest of you decide to do is up to you!

I'm planning to go and get Brekkie nearby to Excel at -

09:00am SUNDAY 18th FEB
at
Fat Boy's Diner
Trinity Buoy Wharf, 64 Orchard Place, E14 0JW London, United Kingdom

http://www.trinitybuoywharf.com/about/eat-and-drink

Fat Boys has re-opened with new management and a brand new menu (attached).
The 1950's classic-American diner is based in Trinity Buoy Wharf, where Container City and London's only Lighthouse can be found. Alongside this, the diner has a picturesque views of the Thames and is a stones throw away from the Millennium Dome and the Emirates Skyline. The menu includes all the diner 'classics' - hand-cut fries, onion rings, milkshakes, pancakes, mac & cheese and of course a huge range of burgers, a particular favourite being 'The Original Fat Boy'. Fat Boys is open everyday from 9am until 7pm.

So if anyone wants to meet there and get their tickets to go in I have a few spare complimentary tickets still and we can have some breakfast then cruise around to excel, park up and go in to see the show. I'll book one table but let me know if youre coming as we might need more tables - parking is right by the diner on the wharf (might make some nice pictures)

I have already booked my car parking space at Excel which is £20 a day for the whole day to book online and you simply print out the ticket and display it on your windscreen

to book your parking go to - https://www.excel.london/parking

See any of you there that want to come along
