PH Aero / Morgan meet
Discussion
Right then. The summer is rapidly running out - so it's time to see if we can get an inaugrual PH Morgan meet off the ground.
Dates that looks possible (for me anyway) are :
Sunday 27th August
Sunday 3rd September
Saturday 9th or Sunday 10th September
Depending on numbers I'd be happy to open this up to other select bands of PHers. But lets get a decision on date where the maximum number of us can attend.
My immediate thought is to invite the guys off the Maserati forum (just Massers) as I know several of us here have been previous owners, and they're also a fairly small bunch so the Morgans won't be overrun.

9th or 10th of Sept is good for us...... I expect my father will probably come along as well in his Aero. Currently I can't make any other dates you propose.
Ok that weekend it shall be - we have a 4 aero grouping (Assuming cereal brings his pop along) which is probably as big a meet as has been seen in the UK outside of the factory!
Thinking that Sunday might be the best day - so the 10th for a lunch somewhere.
I'll investigate a location and report back this afternoon.
Cheers,
Rich

Hi - sorry Rich for not replying earlier - snowed under at mo,
Don't think I've got anything on that weekend. Need some work doing on the car - couple of scratches on the front right wing after saying hi to a cone on saturday at a trackday - will have to get chips away round. Mine this time was recorded at 104.8dB, so the exhausts are getting louder. Only just made it on track, so
knows what yours sounds like Boshly!
Changed my tyres at the weekend from P-zeros rossos to neros (at last). The neros are miles better than the rossos - so much more grip and balance, and braking is hugely improved too. I was wondering who has got the smaller diameter mota lita steering wheel and what it's like. I'm starting to find mine a bit like a lorry's wheel!
I'll double check the dates tomorrow at work.
Cheers
Mark

Cool 
That will make 5 all being well. Look forward to hearing your exhaust - see if mine really is that loud too!
Will PM you with details on the steering wheel - wil pop up and get some pics this evening to post here.
Main advantages :
1. No more black hands
2. Better feel thinner rim
3. More room in cockpit
4. Looks fantastic!

VENUE
Right then - seeing as the majority are in Surrey (and I'm not so far away in MIDDX) then it makes sense to ahve a Surrey meet.
A great venue I've organised the Maserati meets at a couple of times is a pub called the Rose and Crown on the green between Virginina Water and Thorpe. They do a decent pub lunch and we'll be well catered for rain or shine. Details below. Let me know what you think.
Would be great to have a line up of the cars for a picture or two before the meet. I was thinking perhaps somewhere in Windsor near the castle for a good backdrop - but if any of you locals have somewhere else in please suggest it. A little drive from photo location to pub would be great - it's not often we'll get the chance to have a convoy of Aeros!

Nice one Rich,
All sounds great to me. I would suggest that the entrance to Windsor Castle on a Sunday might be a bit ambitious but how about sneaking onto the 'avenue' grass for a great shot with the castle in the background!
Looking forward to the day!
Andy
PS heard of a red Aero (??) very close to me in Ewshott (met a friend of mine) will try to get him along also if no objections

Absolutely - the more the merrier
Like the idea of the avenue shot - probably the easiest option if we can get onto the grass somehow...
Failing that anyone think of any other impressive buildings in that vicinity?

Great Fosters makes a very impressive backdrop and may be considerably less contravercial to get access to.... It's also local to Thorpe so would be very easy to get to..
www.greatfosters.co.uk/
I'll see if I can work out a "run out" as there are some very nice roads local to there....
Great Fosters is about 1/2 a mile away from my old house - don't know why I didn't think of it!!! I'll see if they would mind a few of us pitching up to take a few pics.
Theres some particularly great roads around the back of VW.
Lets not discuss routes on here - I'll drop you a mail with some of my favourites.

Right,
I've left mail for Great Fosters to consider whether they would let us use the building as a photo backdrop.
I've also enquired as to the avialability of lunch there. From what I can see they will do you a slap up Roast Dinner for 25 quid a head - anyone fancy that or would you all prefer to stick with the local pub .. which is probably closer to 15 quid a head.

I've also mailed Christine at the Aero8 Owners club with info on the date and invited club members to attend.
She is out of office at the mo, so we'll have to hang fire on that one. I guess it might be worth trying to ring the factory and get hold of charles to see if we can get through to the membership that way. Just would be cool to ahve lots of Aeros together before the summer runs out!
Guess the other port of call is to post on the mogtalk website...

Christine is away until the start of Sept!! Still not had my membership processed and so may not be able to go along on this years trip...
Especially as I want to get a new exhaust and it's a custom job from Librands so has a 4-6 week lead time! 
so the car may not be available. And the fact I've not arranged anything yet about getting down there, across the channel etc..... lol. As for the Official Morgan Club route.. they are VERY burocratic and officious bunch and you'll quicly find yourself tied up in red tape... arranging event insurance and all sorts of B@l@cks. Best left alone. TBH.
Her auto response says she's away until 21st August - so I think you'll make the trip just about.
I've spoken with Great Fosters and they have weddings booked for that day so can't provide a photoshoot venue, or lunch.
thinking caps on for another venue for pics everyone....
Planning to invite my friednly neighbourhood morgan dealer along on the basis that they should have a 2006 demonstrator if I ask long enough in advance...

Nice work Rich, shame about Gt Fosters. Would have preferred it to a pub but I'm easy for anything (within reason).
For a photo (if we stick with a pub) what about the public car park by the river near the Runnymede just out of Egham? Nice open grass area with river in background.
A few nice restaurants around A30, been to a couple with FOC.
Can't think of Gt Fosters type venue but must be loads around.
I haven't had my membership confirmed by Christine yet but I am not back myself until 21st (in sunny France at the mo.) but would be devastated if I couldn't go. Car needs some TLC (need to get the armaguard off - any ideas) before I get Dave (of Zymol fame) to come and work his magic.
Anyhow Cheers all

Figure your local dealer would be well qualified to whip of the armourguard... Either that or it's a DIY job with a hairdryer apparrently... (might be worth a post on the detailing forum - sure someone would be able to enlighten us...)
Reminds me - better give mine a wax this weekend!
