[Ladychar]

Awwww damn it and I haven't a suitable car 

[XRLaurie]

Cheap, close, and sounds different. I'll try and bring my black XR3. I drive past this place every day.

[Fluff]

getting good that place every other evening there is some kinda meet
looks kinda cool

[Owain]

may well put battery back on the car since it's only up the road

[XRLaurie]

Definately going with my mate Nige. I am aiming to be there for about 6pm or thereabouts. If the weather remains this good, it should be a nice way to spend the evening. Thanks for posting, otherwise I wouldn't have known it was on.

I'll be taking my black XR3.

[Ladychar]

Might have to come for a look, I'll hide mine in a corner out the way lol

[Taps]

I'm going, will be worth checking this place out for future meets

[XRLaurie]

The A127 Diner car park isn't that big, so I would say try to get there in good time. They say on the link it gets busy. So that is why I am trying for 6pm, hopefully park up and chill for an hour before it starts officially. Also bear in mind you'll also hit some of the traffic going home that time to Southend.

Mind you I could end up in the car park all on my own for an hour! Who knows?

The place itself you can spot because they have a full size yellow Reliant Robin from Only Fools & Horses mounted up high at roof level. Don't ask me why.

[Ladychar]

TBH I never noticed the place lol and I'll be there, been allowed out to play

I'll bring the Mondy as it's gotta be better than turning up in the bmw lol

[XRLaurie]

Yeah, you come in the Beamer and I might not talk to you LOL.

[Ladychar]

I wouldn't talk to myself either lol

[Owain]

it's just after the A132 turn off heading southend bound, bring a peg for your nose just incase the shit farms kicking up a bit, so as for proper directions, get in left lane after A132 junction, smell shite, check ya nappy pull in at the garage forecourt and then left into the 127 diner carpark

[XRLaurie]

Those are the best directions I've ever read.   Accurate too. What a great place for a Diner.

[Taps]

How far done from the HWH is it as I'll be coming off the 25?

[Ladychar]

It's just past the Basildon turn off, not the one with the shite sign, the next one thats also for Wickford.

[Owain]

about 6.5 miles further on, i can meet ya at the halfway house if ya like

[Fluff]

will try to get there for about 2030

[XRLaurie]

I measured it today as I drove down to pick up one of my lads. It is 10.3 miles from the m25/A127 junc. Once you see signs for the A132 (9 miles from M25) keep you eyes peeled, as the road bears round to the left and then it is right there! You'll see the yellow Reliant Robin about 15 feet in the air in front of the diner.

You know, that car park isn't big.

[Fluff]

hopefully was a good night
didnt get out of work till 845 so went past it was packed - wonder how long till they get stopped - The Dick Turpin would have been better - bigger car park and nothing usually on there on a monday ( was empty tonight ) hope you had a cool time any pictures?
