[QUOTE=M-R-P;725667]Just of junction 2 on the M27.[/QUOTE] Thanks - dont think I'll be back from London in time to get down there but I should be able to make the next one (whenever that is - and if you all promise not to laugh at the state of my car - its works in progress!)

I should be at this one provided work don't give me a stupidly early start but as long as everyone promises not to take the p*** out of my engine bay like you did to Graham :)

Post 725698 by M-R-P on 2014-07-23 18:38:57

Colour coding the engine bay is a great idea, wish I'd thought of it... ...oh hang on...

Post 725703 by moosepowerlee on 2014-07-23 18:46:31

I will be there looking forward to meeting people and seeing some of the cars

[QUOTE=M-R-P;725686]Within reason... I draw the line at fitting coilovers tho and yes, someone has asked lol.[/QUOTE] lol - I want to replace the bushes and somehow get the bolt moving on the track end rod so I can sort my tracking out. If you can do those I'll be there!

Post 725762 by M-R-P on 2014-07-24 09:19:02

Wishbone bushes are a job for a driveway and a bench vice (done a few now ;) ) Freeing off a track rod isn't too hard.

Post 725939 by stribo on 2014-07-25 12:16:57

But he's not running away with it like Vettel did. Are you saying as soon as someone starts winning a championship it gets boring, as tha only gives you the first race.;)

Post 725992 by oblark on 2014-07-25 18:01:55

Martin, don`t forget the paint and o rings :wink:

Post 725999 by S70T5Chris on 2014-07-25 19:10:26

Post 726039 by RichT4 on 2014-07-25 22:11:07

Oh and Martin please bring your induction kits please mate! I am still after one.

Post 726225 by M-R-P on 2014-07-27 08:05:44

Right, got o rings, paint (possibly the wrong one, dunno yet), washers for HWSNBN. And a bootfull of tools. Rich... I've had a look but it appears my induction building bits are among the stuff that's in storage awaiting the new man-cave. Sorry dude. Am I supposed to be bringing/doing anything else for anyone?
