Does anyone know of any meets planned for this area in the near future?

David

like the new avatar david..

interestingly it looks crap in Ie but superb in Mozilla (runs about 4 times faster!)

put me down for a burger!!!

We BBQ all year round,so not a prob to us ! Perhaps someone else has a better idea ?I'll go with any suggestion. I aint got a roof ,but who gives a damn ,these cars are for drivin' !

So, what about a meet and a run to somewhere local ?Nothing special,just a blast around? C'mon you lot , what about it?

WELL I NEVER !!!!

If you swing an arc from.....

Newmarket
Ipswich
Bentley &
Braintree................

You nearly end up in Sudbury Tesco's

Cup of coffee in the cafe ???????

sounds good to me .mines white with one sugar!!!!!!!! just a case of when?

Just remember that I probably won't get my numberplates until Saturday... so give me time to get comfy with the car!

rgds,

David

Unless I come along in my white van I have no wheels? Can I grab a ride with anyone?

What about this coming Sunday?

The weather forcast isn't good...

...which pees me off greatly, as it'll be my first opportunity to legally drive the car where I want.

rgds,

David

Hi All,

With a forcast of showers, is it best to take a "raincheck" till next Sunday morning ?

I will go with the flow.

Paul G

p.s. Did you get your plates David ?

Yep - up and running!

I've only managed a few miles round the block, though - and then I had to wipe all the mud off my rear wings...

I'm still wary of going too far... I want to work carefully up to the longer distances, especially after my initial SVA fiasco.

cheers,

David

I'm not too fussed ,I'll go with the flow too . Been out today ,blatting around in Braintree area , not too cold . Paul ,rING ME ,COS i MAY PAY YOU A VISIT TAMARA(SUNDAY) Rgds ROD

Hi All

David, I understand perfectly. I will be the same when I get on the road.
It's a case of confidence in the car.
Maybe next week.

Paul G

Craig,

You waiting for the Ipswich DVLA to send the stuff? Only I spoke to their 'kit car man' Graham Feest on Friday, and he said that he'd put 18 registrations in the post, but not all of them would go out that day (mine did! ) - maybe yours will arrive on Mon/Tues.

Cross your fingers!

David

the weather for this sunday doesn't look too promising either the last i saw . has anybody seen any different?

Whoops, Looks like we'll all get wet then ! lol

Mike

Hi All,

Weather on Anglia TV tonight had a yellow round thing against Sunday,
mind you, they may be wrong.

Mike....... answers to your questions are

Yes, Yes & Yes

Do you want me to find out if you have to book the wheel alignment 'pooter thing?
I pass it on my way home from work.

Paul G

Met Office is showing sodding rain for Saturday & Sunday

David

You really aren't having much luck with the weather are you?

Just had another look at the Met Office website... there's a risk of it being dry on Sunday...

[Edited on 22/10/04 by David Jenkins]

I'm up for giving it a go on Sunday ,so someone let me know what we're gonna do ? ROD

im up 4 it sunday ,especially if that round yellow thing makes an appearance! mind you ill have to give the car a dusting first ,crack out the pledge!

Lifted off Anglia TV's website:

Sunday: Rain clearing in the east to leave sunshine and showers.

So vague as to be useless...

Still - got out for a decent drive this morning, for a bigger 'round the block' of around 20 miles. Starting to get more relaxed with it now.

DJ

So, shall we decide at the last minute,say 9am in the morning ,what to do?

Hi all,

Im still up for coming tomorrow. Went out early this afternoon and got wet!!. Im in the same position as david, only just starting to feel comfortable with my car, its done a grand total of 51 miles!! It was very tail happy in the wet but what fun.

Right, Paul reckons 10.30 at Tescos ,all in favour? ROD

I'lll be there - unless it piddles down again!

David

Sounds good.
I hope i dont break down!!!!!

Evidence that it does go out in less-than-perfect conditions...

Nice morning out - apart from the starter's bendix jamming, again! - thanks to everyone who gave me a push-start.

Is that HP sauce all over the mudguard?
Only 11 more meets to go.

We had a vote after you'd gone David.

Unanimous. Removing the starter motor
to save weight is going toooooo far.

Many thanks to the man in the green suit
for the oxygen.
