Sounds good to me, was going to go to Avon Raceway, but don't think the car will be sorted by then.

Post 522731 by dalhousie2008 on 2012-07-11 08:04:41

won't have gull sorted by then, so i'll be in the s60

[quote=V70 Graham;522784] Remember, I live where your coming Sunday, and will have 75 mins to do [/quote] I no, that`s my point........I`m expected to be at Mcd`s before the crow has had a p*ss on sunday. I have conmitments at home that means the earlist I can be on the road is 7:30. All I get is " you`ve got a turbo use it " well I will be at Mcd`s for 9:00 if there is no one to meet me then you will be a car down.

Post 523383 by Wally Dog on 2012-07-13 00:38:31

I won a head torch and Steve won a brush - yep, I did just say brush. Average age was in alzheimers territory but the old chaps did make an effort to say hello to us young'uns. There were a couple of decent lads there with fettled S40's who might come along to the Vine next weekend. Anyway, to get off Snickers and back on Topic for just a second (get the pun....) how about a list of those coming: Wally Dog

Wally Dog oblark Stribo and Relfski V70 Graham & Nobber72 martinrpeachey (possibly little MRP and/or Mrs. MRP) 3.00 isn't a problem - Judge doesn't usually roll up till then any way lol. Besides, it's not like we'd have all gone home by then, probably wouldn't have ordered the square burgers by then :D

Post 526488 by M-R-P on 2012-07-22 19:34:22

Nice atacama c70 you got yourself mate. With some tlc, she'll be lovely. A fantastic turnout today, with some really nice (and a few mad) cars. Pics will follow tonight.

Post 526619 by M-R-P on 2012-07-22 23:41:28

The TWR S40 is indeed the project car which was on ebay a while ago. The lad (sorry buddy, I can't remember your name) is putting some serious effort into getting it back to the standard it should be. And doing a really tidy job of it. Uploading pics now...

Post 526623 by M-R-P on 2012-07-23 00:12:28

First up... proof of who had the MAN burger. I'd have really liked to have had one too but I had to go cook last night's catch for Mrs.MRP (o0nly to find there was nothing for me). Image Oblark's car looking mean with the new lights... Image Image Image Image The "who can urinate highest in the saffy" competition (won by relfski) Image The TWR project S40 - off ebay and talked-about extensively here a while ago... Image Image Graham getting all "MI-5" Image Something else a bit mental... Image Image Image

Post 526624 by M-R-P on 2012-07-23 00:13:17

Image Image Image Image Image All topped-off by the fact that while on a "test drive" with Wally Dog, the Big Sweed (for whatever reason) outran a ZX6R off a roundabout, and it only caught - up due to my not breaking the speed limit (*ahem*)

Post 526662 by y2blade on 2012-07-23 09:14:40

Fantastic Pictures, what a great turn-out and a lovely day for it. I was fettling with my bike all afternoon, needed to get that done as she is going in for a custom map tomorrow. Martin I'll drop you a PM about me picking-up the Speaker, Thanks again.

Post 526664 by M-R-P on 2012-07-23 09:17:00

You missed a good one mate. Whenever you're ready for the speakers mate. I still have to remove them from the scrap doors behind my shed - that's if the scrap-magpies don't swipe them first that is.

Post 526932 by Wally Dog on 2012-07-24 10:05:01

It was a really good turnout - loadsa Volvos!! It was great to put a few more faces to names and fun dusting that crotch rocket in MRP's V70!! Sorry I had to go early, I was feeling really bad - been in bed since with a hacking cough and a chest infection!!

Post 526951 by Wally Dog on 2012-07-24 11:59:51

yep, but the next time I see you, I should leave you in my lowered, older, more bumpy wake once my steering/handling is sorted and new clutch is worn in properly! Thanks also to Ayden, Steve, Rob and everyones general input changing my top mount - has made a difference in the pick-up but judder is still there so must be the clutch. Just wish I'd checked that everything was plugged in properly before I went, as my lambda light is still on from leaving the MAF sensor un-plugged!!!!! Also, I've introduced some of you to Muddy Water - OJ & Coke - hope more people try it, refreshing drink which is thirst quenching on a hot afternoon and/or great for a hang-over!!

Post 526955 by M-R-P on 2012-07-24 12:18:05

That stuff looked like it had already been digested - twice!
