East Mids Monthly Meeting

Post by Grumpyjohn1957 » Mon May 31, 2021 7:09 pm

7 - 7.30pm, The Priory, Nanpantan Road, Nanpantan, Loughborough, LE11 3YD
2 Mins from M1 J23 (Next Meet - Wednesday 2nd June 2021).

As the weather forecast finally looks to be a good one and suitable for sitting out, I'm intending to go for a quick "loosener".
Should anyone care to join me with their Alpina that would be great, if not, I'll just be Billy no Mates for an hour.

Hi John,

I’m a new Alpina owner after purchasing my D5 and live not to far away in Derbyshire just off junction 26 of the M1.

I would love to join you but I’m moving house. Should have moved today but there was a problem at the beginning of the chain, so I’m moving tomorrow now.

So I can’t join you this time but will certainly join up again when ever the next East Midlands meet up is.

Hopefully, it’s not too long before the next one.

Thanks and hope to meet you soon.

Possibly might be able. Tried to generate some interest a couple of months back, rocked up and ended up as Billy no mates!
Plenty of good intentions but it never worked out.
I'm without an Alpina at the moment as the B5 is broken. :cry: :cry: :cry:
Chugging around in a 320d Touring courtesy car, if you'll accept a lower form of automotive life for company might see you there.

What time do you have in mind? Dark at 8.00 these days, I'll be passing by after work about 6/6:30

Well theres a chap called Darren going on Facebook. He says he’ll be there about 6:30 as he’s eating at the pub.

I’ll be there for about 7pm. So far it’s me, Darren and possibly you. Another guy said he might pop by. Your more than welcome to come down in your car, shame your B5 isn’t working. Would love to have taken a look.

Hopefully I’ll see you tomorrow.

Well it was nice to meet Darren and Karen this evening at the pub. We are both fairly new to the Alpina Owners club and it was lovely looking at his car. Great colour combo!

Just when we thought it was just us 3, James turns up whose a long time Alpina owner with a breadth of knowledge. He gave me some great advice and tips, so many thanks and it was fantastic to meet you as well James.

I’ll be going again next month. Hope to see you guys there again and hopefully some new faces as well.

There’s a chap called Darren on FB who should be there from 6:30pm and myself and Marco should be there about 7pm.

So hopefully I’ll see you there.
