North, South, East or West I don't care which way we go I'll be doing what is best and that's just driving my FTO and even if it's just a few I'll still be cruising with the crew

kids, settle down...

if you cannot make it to the western pre-meet, you are always welcome to meet us at the destination point @ Mt Dandy at your own convenience.

if distance is an issue, you may either:

a. send me a PM to discuss alternative arrangements OR
b. discuss on the forums constructively without flaming others directly or indirectly

like i said, the pre-meet destination is only a tentative decision at the moment. So far the majority of ppl who are attending have expressed no major concerns about a western pre-meet so it seems that this is not such a big issue.

think about the big picture guys... ;)

I agree with the cook two meeting points would be best as this would lead to a bigger overall turn out and keep everybody happy.If we did this regularly and had set meeting points in future we would have consistantly large turnouts which is what we want to achieve isnt it?For the east side how about the pancake parlour as a meeting point?

Ok let me clarify that, what scracy mean is the Doncaster Pancake Parlour, it was our regular meeting point before "Albert Park"

I've got no problem with Pancake, so let c what the other say.

Good idea Scracy, Doncaster Pancake Palour works well. It's a good location, had a good size carpark and won't be as busy as Chadstone (the other meeting point we've used).

Now, who's going to come up with a "western" meeting point?

Geez, I only made a suggestion, I didn't mean this to become another long-winded argument.

I actually like the cook's idea of 2 mini-meets, but I don't mind driving to the west at all.

Unfortunately, I'm working on the 17th of July, so I'm gonna miss u peeps :cry:

...and Mt Dandy is a fun place to get the FTO to drift and over-steer (for all those who think it can only understeer) :roll: :twisted:

I'm northwest Attwood (near Broadmeadows), I'd prefer somewhere close, like sunshine area or whatever...

But where ever it is, i'll be in.,
