I could have compared notes with how the Yorks do went..
Seriously though I'm apparently also an honourary member of the West London Mafia so it would have been one of my duties to attend...
Hi Peeps
I have enquired at our local Indian about seating in there upstairs function room and they can take 30 people with a few more sqeezed in if needed.
Who's up for it?
The restaurant is in Whyteleafe which is on the A22 off junction 6 from M25. Those who helped wire up my car will know where it is.
Any idea on a date? I rekon sometime in January.
Post here if interested or if you have a preferance on date.
I thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Andy
You bugger, if it'd been immediately post Christmas I'd been down at Felbridge at the bottom of the A22.

Sounds good to me.
James
Yep !! will be there as well 
Jason
And just down the road from caterham, would be rather amusing to go and park an squadron of locosts down in front of their garage one summer's saturday.
Blueshift
We should convoy past their showroom with the total build cost pasted on the side of each car. I guess you could build 7 locosts for the price of 1
Cateringvan!!!!
Andy
as said on msn, I'm in.
Ned.
Me too - but away from 14th to 21st Jan in the sunshine....
Andy
Sounds good to me
Sounds like a damn fine idea, count me in.
I might be able to tag along to that. Will check with the Guv.
24th, i'll put it in my err diary
Ned.
Any particular time? 
James

Anyway Happy Christmas mate.
The Resteraunt want an idea of what we all want so i'll bring a menu to box hill on 4th. If anyone else who's going but not to box hill can
they email me at curry@donut.co.uk to let me know.
Time too meet is 7:30pm. There is a car park opposite and on the same side of the road.
The post code for the restaraunt is CR3 0EF for those who use Multimap.com
Anyone else can email me for directions.
Cheers
Andy
Starter = Prawn cocktail
Main = Steak and chips (rare)
dessert = spotted dock and custard
Coffee and mint
Whos taking me
Bob
Is that curried Prawns, Steak Korma and Spotted Dick vindaloo???
ERK!
Andy
Donut - may I make a suggestion - if 15 or so of us are all ordering different things it could get confusing - especially at bill paying time. Do you think it's worth seeing if they'll do a set dinner for us? Make life simpler for them and us.
I'll be there..
Curried steak and chips sounds good
Jasper..
They don't do a set menu but i don't think there are enough of ou to make it a problem for them so i think i'll see how many definates
from this thread and book the table...then pray everyone turns up.
Andy
You could see if they'll do a deal so we all get a fixed price for a couple of courses or something.
/rant on
I only suggest it as I absolutely hate it when you're all there at the end and the money hasn't worked out and then some people get annoyed
at having to pay more and then some gimboid gets their calculator out and starts trying to add theirs up and moans at paying 37p more than others and
then blah blah blah! 
If everyone one of the ten (?) just pays a tenth of the total then it's cool (and it's the best way IMHO) but some tight git always moans!
Epecially if some drink and some don't/can't!
/rant off
Cheers,
James

as i am a small eater and dont drink can i get a discount?
No you can't you tight ass!!
I think the best option is for everyone to share the cost of the meal but buy their own drinks, that way those who want to get pissed can do it at
thier own expense. It would be a nightmare doing that for the meal.
Andy
Knew Conrod'd be the first!
Anyway Conrod, "small eater"??? Yeah right!
Andy, sounds a sensible plan to me.
Cheers,
James
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, oooooo.
I stop posting at 10pm on the 16th this thread starts at on the 17th - coincidence? I don't think so.
ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, you set of

And LOL@ Bob wanting steak and that in an Indian!!!!!!!
Cheers
Chris
You're enjoying this aren't you Chris!!
Andy
Cheers
Chris
BTW Donut, are you attending the autosports show?
Chris
Probably not going to the sports car show. I'll only find another car to fall in love with and build one of those!!!!! Worth going for the womin
though however i have got one of them so i do't want to build another!!!
Andy
I'll post some t*ts and a** piccys for you, and the other perverts.
And enjoy the Easter Do.
Cheers
Chris
The Curry Garden is situated in Whyteleafe parade. Whyteleafe is on the A22 near Purley.
If you are coming from M25 you will need to get off at junction 6 (i think) A22 going towards Croydon. Keep going north past a set of lights and over
a white walled large round-about. You will see Ann Summers opposite. Keep going untill you hit a parade of shops. There is parking on both sides of
the road although the car park on the left is hard to spot. It is easier to get into the carpark opposite (right) next to the fish & Chip shop.
The Curry Garden is on the left and we will be upstairs. Say to the staff that you are with the LOCOST lot.
Postcode for the restraunt is CR3 0EF I will pop a map up when multimap starts working again

Can anyone recommend a good hotel in the area?
ATB Dan.
There are some 'proper' hotels on the purley way (A22 near Croydon) like a hilton hotel etc near the old Croydon aerodrome. I'll see if
theres anything nearer.
Andy
Dan, you have u2u
Jason
7:30pm Be there or be......erm....somewhere else.
See you all on Sat.
If anyone needs directions please email me at andy@redboxuk.net
Andy
Any one going to Newlands or the crimbo dinner got a spring clamp suitable for the shox we use that i can borrow or quickly use at the time, to remove
a couple of springs, the ones i have don't fit
Cheers
Jason
Forgot to say.... ask for the WEST party upstairs when you get to the curry garden.
ta
Andy
Seeya there everyone!
Jasper back from Tenerife yet?
Lucky so and so!
James
James, theres a seat with your name on so don't be late!!
It's gonna be such fun!
Andy
Moi? Late? Pah!
James
I told the owners of the restaraunt to look out for any unsavory charachters you you had..
1: Better be on time
2: Dress accordingly as it's a very posh area i live in!!
Aee you at 7:30 on the dot!!
Andy
does that mean jeans n t shirt are out?
Evening dress which means bow tie, dinner jacket and cumber band oh and don't forget the monicle!!!!!
Andy
I'm there......in case you were wondering!
High class you say,
Looks like the Bentley rather than the Rolls.
Rather glad I booked top draw accomodation.
See you all later Dan.
Could be nasty and say "no i wasn't"

Is your dad still looking for a car? I may have a cheap Robin Hood soon?
Cheers
Andy
Nah - think he's given up on the idea - he will need to spend £10k+ to get the kind of car he really wants, and he doesn't want to spend
that kind of cash at the moment....
But when next summer arrives and he has another go in mine he might change his mind!
Donut's already posted this pic under the newlands thread, but just to close this thread I thought I'd drop in a cleaned and labelled pic
for Chrisg's benefit..
Southern 7's Curry night
Ned.
You didn't know the guy back left then...
Yeah, that's Kenny, I'm building the racer for him
Jason
Does he visit the site jason, or does he know us lot just through you?
Ned.
It's just through me, He wants to drive and race it, not build it !!
Jason
Cheers for arranging it all Donut- had a great time!
Re picture:
I know I'm pretty small but what was in that curry? I appear to have managed midget status!
James
It also looks like Jasper is giving you one up the arse!
I don't care what i say...
I passed SVA!
Andy

Errrrrhhhhhhhhh - that's an image I thought I'd banisher forever .......
jus dont mention the sheep chris
LOL!
I'd forgotten that: Locodude and a couple of others 'helpfully' advertising MK by running naked round LeMans with MK brochures wedged
in their cracks!
In fact that reminds me of Andy's bit of 3am campsite advertising: yelling "MK Engineering- fokkin remember it" at the departing back
of the man who'd come to put out Andy's towering inferno in the middle of the campsite!
ROTFLMAO
With friends like that- who needs enemies!
