Any West Sussex Z3 Zedders out there?, I'm from the Pulborough area! If you see a Montreal Blue Z3 with Alpina Wheels it's probably Zelda. All waves returned!! :wave

Almost, I'm just across the border in Surrey, but I'm in the Warnham area most Thursday evenings and some Tuesday mornings!

by **Tilly** » Sun 03 Jun, 2012 18:16

Lots in the Horsham area.

I know of at least six in the town, Half of them Atlanta Blues. One is my wife's and mine is a cosmos black. There is also a pistachio green one in Storrington I often see parked.

Yes, I have seen the green one in Storrington, also a black 2.0l parked in a side lane on the way out of Pulborough and a light blue 2.0l parked in front of a house opposite the wildbrooks.

I'm just over the border, near Petersfield. Mine's a Topaz Blue 2.8 and it can be seen in Petersfield today because the Jubilee celebrations are on. Later at about 2pm there'll be a classic car procession too.

I'm in Horsham, have a silver 1.9 2002. Must be enough to make an evening pint and natter?

by **John1950** » Mon 04 Jun, 2012 19:50

Is someone going to suggest a pub meeting - Pulborough looks like it might be central for most of us...

Ever been in the Queens Head in Horsham? My band Cut Loose! plays there. 8-)

I'll second that, Cheers, Bonzo :cheers

by **John1950** » Tue 05 Jun, 2012 08:59

Can I suggest Petworth area - not that I know any pubs there, but it's about central.
Keep the votes coming in.

Sounds great to me. Meeting, pint and music. Nirvana!!!!
Heck anywhere in West Sussex would be fine.

by **SRA5040** » Fri 22 Jun, 2012 23:11

Horsham would be okay for me, or thereabouts. I suppose East Grinstead is a bit far over for most...

by **John1950** » Sat 23 Jun, 2012 10:41

Well - so far a number of suggestions, but no action!

I suggested Petworth area - if that's OK, how about adding your name below and once we get more than say half a dozen, decide which pub and when...

So, first name - me:

John1950 (John Walker)

by **Ragtop** » Sat 23 Jun, 2012 12:31

Any chance of you guys getting together in West Sussex and organising a Zed cruise? You seem to have a few Zeds around that area, also lovely countryside for a cruise. I'm sure you would get a few of us from East Sussex & Kent to join you. :drive

by **Bonzo** » Sun 24 Jun, 2012 22:36

Count me in guys. A suitable pub would be The White Hart, Stopham bridge betwixt Pulborough and Fittleworth, Good car parking to line the Zeds up and beautifull location. Some pub's car parks are not suitable, but hey, I'm easy as to which pub we use. Bonzo.

by **cn55** » Mon 25 Jun, 2012 07:23

Count me in too. Live in Horsham so do not mind where we meet!
cn55 or just Chris

by **SRA5040** » Mon 25 Jun, 2012 11:37

Put me on too please...I work awkward shifts so I may end up not being able to go, but we'll see!

by **John1950** » Mon 25 Jun, 2012 20:08

We're getting some response at last.

So far we have:

John1950
Tilly
Bonzo
cn55
SRA5040

Three or four more would make it a decent event. Once we have them we can decide from the pubs suggested.
I'm looking forward to it.

by **SRA5040** » Tue 26 Jun, 2012 16:41

A colleague/friend of mine has just joined the Z3 fold, although (and hopefully he won't join and see this yet!) one could describe him as something of a technophobe, so persuading him to join this forum could take me some time. However, he is also resident in W Sx, so could we make him welcome at this event too, if it eventually goes ahead?

Keep pushing the old Luddite then - tell him there's a free pint in it.

Let us know in advance what evenings are free for you if you can, I'm sure we can pick one that is ok for you. I would much prefer weekday evenings if possible, (a lot of other stuff going on at weekends). A nice dry warm one!

Cheers all, Bonzo.

by **Xavier** » Mon 09 Jul, 2012 16:31

Hey, I'm in Loxwood so Horsham, Billingshurst etc all good for me! Not long split from the missus, so seeing some new faces would be welcome!

by **mfckeith** » Mon 09 Jul, 2012 20:08

Hi all,im in Crawley so Horsham would be good for me

by **Tilly** » Mon 09 Jul, 2012 20:55

Looks like we have the numbers.

Now need location and date.

by **John1950** » Tue 10 Jul, 2012 10:58

Right - if we have enough, can I make a suggestion for a venue?

I wasn't sure how far people are travelling but I had a search online and this pub at Byworth seems very nice - good write up too:

THE BLACK HORSE INN, BYWORTH - WEST SUSSEX, GU28 OHL

More info here:

I am game. Not too far and a nice drive. If others agree, it is a good start lets pick a date and "Just do it".

by **Bonzo** » Tue 10 Jul, 2012 23:30

I'll drive over and check out the parking situation at The Black Horse. I think it may be a bit tight . All depends on how many will be attending. It was a a nice pub the last time I went.

Cheers, Bonzo.

by **SRA5040** » Thu 12 Jul, 2012 10:13

Sorry I've been so slow getting back...I work 4-on, 4-off shifts so it's probably easier if you just pick a date and I'll say yay or nay. If I can't make it this time, there's always another!

by **Bonzo** » Thu 12 Jul, 2012 21:52

looking forward to your report Bonzo.[/quote]

The car park in The Black Horse at Byworth is a little tight for space in my opinion. The car park in The White Hart at Stopham is much more spread out and picturesque, ideal for photographs. The beer garden is right next to the car park, so it's just a couple of steps from the tables to the cars, so we can wander around, chew the fat and take in each others Zeds. It really is a lovely setting, with the old road bridge and river right next to the pub.

All we need is a warm, dry evening! :sunny

I am on holiday from 21st-29th July , but would love to attend if the meet could be held on a weekday evening outside of these dates.

I hope this helps John.

Cheers all, Bonzo.

Well, it sounds perfect to me. I'm ready for something. Mind you, it'll have to be pretty snappy - I'm off on a touring holiday in the Zed on Tues 24th for three weeks. Crotia calls!

by **Bonzo** » Fri 13 Jul, 2012 10:37

How about Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday next week? (w/commencing 15th July). Or wait until holiday commitments go by?
Lets have all your replies and preferences please a.s.a.p.

Had a look at the pub on their web site - seems very pleasant. It also gets very good write ups in www.beerintheevening.co.uk
It should be a pleasant evening now that we've got a few going.
I hope the weather holds out!

by **Tilly** » Tue 17 Jul, 2012 20:55

Great evening to all.

Lets do it again!

by **Xavier** » Tue 17 Jul, 2012 22:21

Was good to meet you all! Definitely think we need to get a cruise on at some point, and I'll get the car washed this time!

Sorry I had to leave, had some work stuff needed finishing before I get the chance to sleep.

Hi Toby

Good to meet you last night.
Great 'artistic' photos - it's the first time I've seen my Zed both with others and out and about.

Looking forward to the next meet - pub or cruise (or both!).
