Here is an additional event for Solent Area, in the form of an MX5 meet at Port Solent.
Jason has kindly posted the event of Facebook, so the turn-out could be high, as lots of MX5 owners in the area will see the post but we will hopefully get a few MX5’s of each Maque parked down on the waterfront - I am still discussing this with Jason and will post more in due course.
Of course, supper is available in any one of the many eateries at Port Solent.
I had a Telecon with Jason (our host for this event) earlier this afternoon and he said the whole Waterfront Area, is for the sole use of Solent Area MX5OC Members, so the bit by Chiquito’s, Port Solent. This is better defined in the screen grab pasted below and highlighted, by Jason in Light Blue, which is Brilliant.
Jason said, he has had 30 Ferraris parked in this area in the past, so there would be room in the blue highlighted area for at least 30 to 35 MX5’s, parked sensibly, so we should fit fairly easily
The plan is to have Terry and I parked down at the Waterfront, with the Solent Area Flag and to be joined by a good selection of MX5’s across the model range, i.e. Mk1, Mk2/2,5, Mk3/3.5/3.75 and Mk4’s for the public to view.
Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis and we will need a couple of Marshalls (please voulnteer if you can possibly help with this) to ensure that only Solent Area Members enter the Blue Highlighted Area, as others will have to park in the main car park.
If you wish to come along to this event and park by the Waterfront, please respond to this post and book your place and you and your MX5 will be placed on our list, on a first come first served basis.
Finally, the important thing to remember, is that once parked for 19:00, cars will not be allowed to move on Public Safety safety grounds, until after 21:00. So, members will need to ensure they are happy to stay past 21:00 and Jason will also be there to ensure this rule is strictly adhered to.
My lovely little Niseko isn’t in ‘showcase’ condition after working 40K miles/22 months on the Covid Infection Survey; so not sure about parking up in the allocated spaces but I will come down to meet some of you lovely people and hopefully pick up a few tips on getting her back in shape.
