New member here. Interested in this event, what time do you meet, and exactly where? I come from the area (Burnt Common). Thanks a lot, Tom
PS Don't have a locost yet.


Humbug - 13/8/08 at 11:29 AM

here's a link

It's off a bend in the A25 - National Trust car park with a good cafe.

Usually people turn up from about 9.30ish and stay till 12.30/1.00ish (me, anyway )

Shouldn't be too far for you!

I'll be there if the weather holds (coming from Sevenoaks)

Cheers,

Simon

Thanks Humbug. I'm going to try to be there. I've been reading this webpage for a long time, quite excited to see the homemade cars.


theconrodkid - 16/8/08 at 08:09 PM

forecast is rubbish for morra.....but then again they promised biblical floods today


bob - 16/8/08 at 09:39 PM

Well as normal i will look out of the window in the morning, conflicting forecasts but i like the ones that say it rain late afternoon


bob - 16/8/08 at 09:42 PM

Or this one that reads shower early morning.

ps anyone seen an MK woolie hat laying around?mine has gone walkies


GeoffT - 17/8/08 at 02:47 PM

If you think that's technical you should see the repair conrod did to a dodgy clutch cable afterwards. Let's just say it involved...er....twigs! Wonder if he got home ok?


theconrodkid - 17/8/08 at 04:12 PM

nah,i just supplied said twigs


westf27 - 17/8/08 at 05:55 PM

cheers for your help in getting me home ok.If a jobs worth doing fit the right cable length to start with,it melted on the header and after an hour the plastic set solid.Had to start the engine and wait for the plastic to remelt and give me some clutch travel which was made better with conrods twigs and a shoelace we found on the floor


bob - 17/8/08 at 06:34 PM

Excellent repair/bodge well at least it got you home.

Some of conrods finest work there, shame he couldnt fit a fuel sender in his tank though.
At least the petrol was only 111.9 at the ripley shell garage, just a shame the petrol can was £5.39 empty plus a bacon roll and a coffee.


theconrodkid - 17/8/08 at 06:56 PM

so how many of us were boy scouts?


westf27 - 17/8/08 at 07:13 PM

was thinking thats a fine leg you have there
