ALPINA meet in Surrey - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

jez · 12th October 2005, 02:14

I have identified two B10 V8 owners in Surrey - Igneousb and Greg1234 - who are potentially interested in meeting up, are there any others here? We know there is another blue B10 that has been spotted locally. I was thinking of something reasonably informal like meeting at Newlands Corner at lunchtime on the weekend, just a chance to drive our cars and chat with other enthusiasts. Daytime seems best so we can chat over the cars rather than in a pub at night. All ALPINA owners are welcome wherever they may be based. Is there anyone else out there interested?

Could be, once I pick up my baby from Buchloe in a couple of weeks...

Yes thank-you, that is a good idea. Problem is I am only occasionally in Farnham, Surrey, UK; so timing would be critical.

Hythe, Is it a B5 you are getting? When is the earliest you are likely to be able to bring it along? I will try and fix our first meet date once I know.

Greg1234, are you still up for this as well?

Exact date still TBD, but should be sometime in early November.

Yes, I'm getting the very first customer B5 Touring. Malachite Green/Silver Deko/Caramel Merino/Anthracite Alcantara - quite unusual in that it's BOTH an Alpina and a full Individual car...

OK, lets go for a date. Sat 5th Nov meeting at 12:00. I suggest the New Barn Coffee Shop at Newlands Corner, this is opposite the big car park at Newlands Corner where you get the great views but has the advantage of an indoor cafe in case our great British weather does its best and rains on us. So coming up the A25 from Guildford direction the main Newlands Corner car park is on the right and New Barn Coffee Shop is on the left 15 yards earlier. See streetmap for location: (Map reference TQ045493 on Landranger Grid)

Hythe, If you don't have your car by this time we will meet again assuming all goes well so you will still have a chance to bring it along.

Could people let me know if they can come, then if enough can make it we are on and I will book a table as it can get busy on a Saturday. People can just have a coffee or have lunch, whatever they want.

I should be able to make that, I'm just north of Basingstoke, so count me in!

Hi

I will try and attend depending on family arrangements, either B12 or B8.
