Local meet / coffee info ?

[morgan]

Quick question -

Where do you all get your more local info from ?
I mean the Sunday morning coffee meets or similar.

I am not on Facebook etc so I am guessing it might be there ?

Where is the ‘social action for car geeks’ posted these days ? I am a bit out of touch…

Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook, Facebook....

Sorry, it's a new world, not necessarily a better one.....

As Pete said Facebook is the current platform and it’s quick and easy. Just join the American car pages and jobs a good’un.

The groups i use are…

MMA
UK Mopar
American cars uk
B Body Mopar
Hot rod & American cars

Thanks both - yes, I was afraid of that.
I've managed to avoid facebook/meta so far (like a lot of us that work in IT) but I'm really missing out on 'the scene'.
I'll give it some thought how to access without selling my soul to the data-slurping-monster ! Thankyou !

Have a presence there but do not put your Heart and soul on display so fragments of your identity can be pieced together.

I am VERY careful on what I post - I do not post opinions, family, marriage, political persuasions details. Some people put their whole lives up there....

The minute you post up you have a Dodge Charger you will be everyone's best friend!!!!

Start with the MMA Facebook site, possibly the "opposition" UK Mopars, and the Nostalgia Superstock site is good too!!!

Just my opinion - touche!!!

Come the revolution, my card in the local shop window appealing to like minded Classic Car people wanting a drive and a coffee on Sunday morning will rule

Pete very correctly called me a luddite many years ago ( Im sure he was smiling when he said it, probably....maybe) and I know Im probably missing stuff that would be of interest but I dont know anyone who uses Faceache and doesnt have some sort of issue with people on there. Not something that appeals to me at all so I choose to stay away from it all.

Good luck though if you go for it. Maybe worth just spending a bit of time with someone who is savvy with it so you can get your private settings done properly etc. Theres another thread here somewhere that I read with interest around scams on the market bit. A very eyeopening insight from Blue, Dave etc

Oh that’s interesting. 27 miles for me - doable…
