Just thought it was worth asking, as the south coast area can be quiet a stretch.
Me im from Eastbourne, and I guess there is a sideline to this thread as with shows and meets what have ya. As I dont really see much happening round this way I did go to the sunday service meet acouple of months back.

Cheers

Loads, having said there isn't much of a "visible" presence from the Sussex folk so I know what you mean.

Plenty of folk down your way as well as the other side of Brighton. This thread in particular may be of interest; http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I suppose its just knowing where to look, for everybody!

As theres not really a car club or forum for everything in our area exception of here I guess. Last year I did attend the Bexhill 100, my father done it the year before but they are abit stale.

Thanks again!

Actually, nevermind! rofl I only just noticed going back through the thread that yours is one of the last replies.

But yes, there are a few yes You could always come over to Hampshire for the the next Hoon, I'm trundling over from Worthing for it. Then again, you're a fair bit further than Worthing, so it may be a bit of a stretch frown

Indeed I am, not even a month is it.
Must be going senile already im too young at 23!

Trouble is there is nowt over this way,
Bexhill 100 isnt like it use to be and the Pestalozzi Hillclimb in Sedlescombe near Hastings is nolonger run. Think theres been more fasination with buses the past couple of months then cars.

We'll see about the hoon, as needs must.

Well I'ld be up for it, wont be selling the G and buying TVR though!
Suppose its relatively simple first a meet up say carpark/industrial estate somewhere, with a nice drive to a pub/resturant whatever. If only I knew of any, guess theres always a brewers fayre for a trial run.... not the same as a country pub though.

Might be interesting to do it on a Bank Holiday Weekend as I believe alot of the National Trust places are free entry. Or am I wrong?

Have to see whether this thread picks up I suppose.

I would be interested in doing something. I live in Sompting, Lancing and rather fancy meeting somewhere along the coast; How about Rottingdean or Seaford?

What I'm thinking is...We meet up somewhere, say for examples Devils Dyke or the big Asda near Falmer & basically take the roads from there further in land & do something similar to the "Hampshire Ring" thread but around Sussex of course.

Gonna be looking @ prospective routes in the coming weeks.

Sounds good yes, maybe we can call it 'The Sussexschleife' although some may have to watch their false teeth upon pronouncement hehe

Although always a pleasure to meet any type of PH'er, we really need at least half a dozen or so of us to make it worthwhile don't you think?
I don't really like lists but feel it essential in this instance to gauge interest if nothing else, so here goes:

Those interested in attending the first 'Sussexschleife', ( meeting point and route yet to be decided ), please register your interest;

Cripes!, If early response is anything to go by we should have over 24 interested parties by midnight; Keep 'em coming folks, the more the merrier ( I do think that maybe we should cap it @ 100 though hehe ).

rofl

The Sussex lot I think generally require a bit more of a poke than most for this sort of thing, we seem to be more anti-social laugh
