By the looks of it last night, the event has lost the 'prestige' feeling. Far fewer sorted jap machines and more 'low level' Jap motors (the types that park in the public car park at the big Jap shows).

One thing, for sure, is Bluewater themselves dont appear to give a hoot about us being in attendance. I assume they are either not bothered or they have bigger fish to fry. The scooters, for example, were properly bombing around all the car parks and ring road dicking around all night long. They stumbled across us, dicked around for about a minute and they disappeared. At least we are well behaved and contained in a very quiet corner. As ever a few euro cars were there trying to impress us with their lack of power and installs, but thats always gonna happen to some extent.

I would expect Bluewater will react to an incident as it occurs, rather than taking a pre-emptive, policing kind of approach. So I'm assuming we are not on their radar, so to speak. I'm sure they are more concerned with shop lifters, teenage gangs and hoodies inside the centre itself.

So what do we do?

We enjoyed meeting.. Yes
Gave us something to look forward to once a fortnight... Yes.
Liked talking about cars and MR2's... Yes
Liked Franks donuts :lol:... Tasty :eek:
Do we enjoy sitting on our hands waiting for something to happen... ??

I agree that moving the date or the location would be a solution. Depends what you want. If your in it for the MR2s then a turnout of 15 cars on average would be great (I'm sure there's been 20+ on many occasions).

If were in it because we love looking around nice Japanese performance cars, then we need to return to normal ASAP before it gets diluted any more and the meet is ruined for good. Mr Escort will feel far more at home parked next to a 1.4 civic ricer than between a row Supra TT's and Skylines after all.

Over to you guys and girls. Every opinion counts if there is any interest in continuing to meet, when or where ever, that might be.

i really enjoyed it! first MR2 associated meet ive been too, fair enough there was only 4 of us, but it was great meeting you guys there and i think the more people go the more it will come alive again. shame about the chavos on the mopeds and the occasionaly mk6 escort doing a wheel spin :)

good to meet you pete, james and steve. lovely cars :D

Pete, well said, I think people want to attend, but feel its a waste of time and petrol if only a handful of people go.

I for one would love to reattend, and I'm sure more will.

I think 4th October should be advertised as THE next bluewater meet. And people encouraged to attend in force, be it mkivsupra, sxoc, etc

Lets get the circus on the road clowns!

well this is just an idea but..... why not have it away from the rest of the max power jockeys etc and bring it back to basics... A MR2 MEET :shock:

maybe pick another day and have it in a different part like the underground section we once used?????? we all know how to behave and whats expected at the meet, the people who turn up wont risk behaving in a bad manner as it will take forever to arrange summin new!! :-k

the weather will soon turn bad and the nights will get darker so why not claim our patch and get prepared for it???

mmmmmmm an mr2 meet without any escorts-saxo's-renaults or scooters =P~ =P~ =P~ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ =D> =D> =D> !!!

how hard can it be, DOES THIS NOT MAKE SENSE?????

indeed it does.
however, im not sure the genral publics car alarms are gona like our DII and nur specs, lol.

a floor down on another day would be great, as said, to avoid the crap weather on it way and lak of light.

i didnt attend the last meet as i dont want to ruin what mikejc had initially started. (thanks mike for leading the way =D> )

who else would be interested in moving away from the other cars that attend inc the other jap motors and getting a pure mr2 meet again??

maybe like a thursday on the first or second week of every month?? its a shame it all ended after i just started to attend the meets :evil:

anyone interested in this maybe???

i didnt properly read this thread and saw what scuba_turbo wrote about re-starting on the 4th again?? however do we really want to be associated with the chav car revving idiots and scooter boys #-o ](*,) =; palm jockeys who have spent more money on there car stickers than what there car is worth..saxo's, clio's,renaults, wide-boy escorts, all of which belong to the ''teenage dirtbag'' gang

i couldnt spend 5 minutes around perrrricks like that let alone a few hrs.....ill end up beating several around the head with there own crash helmets :twisted:

we should at least have some dignity and avoid the injection of maxpower muppets that have flooded our meet.

my 2p :whistle:

yeah do it!!! =D> =D> =D>

i only got to go once before, and it ended up being the last one :evil:

i got to talk to a load of new people (blood, benny, for eg)
and they are all a load of help.
i think starting from scratch is the way forward, and if the little scum boys turn up, i will be happy to tell them where the pikey car meet is :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Add my name to the list. Honestly not fussed as long as we do something.

Worried that this has become a taboo subject ... could it be the reason why the 'usual' attendees are affraid to post? 8-[

i think people are reluctant to attempt something new @ bluewater as they're not sure what the situation is anymore, as i said mikejc and the other peeps who started off this meet for the benefit of US..THE MR2 OWNERS was a cracking idea so lets not let it fade out. [-X

same place, same time..7pm onwards.. different day = 1st THURSDAY of the month. LETS START PLUGGING IT !! \:D/

I dunno, if people are like me, then they just didn't realise the event was still taking place.

I saw posts back in July after I came back from holiday saying the meet was cancelled until further notice and I've only just noticed it's back on. But from the posts I'm reading that you guys have put this month, it sounds like you've been meeting anyhow so I've missed out a load of meets.

Plenty of publicity in the right places and hopefully you'll drag the regulars and newbies along in numbers.

As for the next October meet....I should be there ok now I know it's on again.
