Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:33 amWe should keep any MIJ feature for a bigger meet?
We can realistically only get one feature ever per magazine.

I agree, 10+ cars would make for a much better feature.

Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:03 pmI dont want to seem like a bit of a glory hunter but can we not hold MIJ off till theres a realistic chance of a bigger meet as in a weekend that we often go on? As in the NI meet or another one? There are a lot of us that cant travel to Dublin all the time for mini-meets and that, would like to be in something like that too you know.
Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 8:26 pmI'm with Martin on this one,
I think a meet that gets photographed:
Should include site members from all over the country
Should be arranged WELL in advance so people can prep their cars
Should have a great location, we need to work on that in particular.
I appreciate that Keith has a contact in MIJ, and photoshoots are great, but as we only get one shot at this, it needs to be done right and at the right time.

Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2008 10:56 pmback to the topic lads.
this meet will follow the standard of the other ones (meet/chat /photoshoot/ cruise/ photoshoot/ and end with a bite @ any fast-food)that should cover 2-3 hours and i prefer it to be on during daylight so sunday 19 oct in the afternoon me thinks

a bit of sun or dry roads
will doPosted: Sun Oct 19, 2008 8:32 amWho's still going then...?
Posted: Sun Oct 19, 2008 11:34 amthere are 5 cars confirmed and another few who said might come.
so dont think 'oh if there is only a few i'm not going'
sure is only a mini meet (remember ther were oficial meets where the turnout was poor ) but dont forget DUblin is the home of most fto's in ireland .
been to a few meets of other car clubs and enthusiasts in the last year and i must say the turnout was good but when it comes to our own fto club there is always problems on turnout.
see u there
