Should see quite a few more cars next time round... preferably somewhere where you don't run out of parking spaces half hour after the appointed meeting time! (sorry, Paul!

Now that the weather has started to improve, is it time for an East Anglian get-together?

sounds good to me - but then again I will be in Scotland until the 3rd 
I will come without my car as its only a chassis..
Yup, count me in.
Er, Scotland AGAIN Dave ???
You havn't got a secret second build going have you ?
I hear garages are cheap north of the border. 
Paul G
I vote for another Pauly bar b!
Plus we get an update on exhaust can industries!
I am happy to bring along some burgers and drinks to make it a bit fairer on Paul this time.
Or just food for thought.
David, how about the White Horse at Tattingstone. We can have the large grass field/carpark free of charge and it is fairly close to the Essex border?

I have a limited supply of good ideas so I have to be careful when i use them!
If we give them enough notice we might be able to get the WLM to come for day out?
i hope to be back on the road shortly as im still snowed under with those little winter jobs that just seem to have an age so far and still going!
other than that count me in (he says hopefully!)
scott
Well, if we leave it a couple of weeks both Scott and DaveFJ might be able to join us... and it'll give me time to rebuild my dash, which
I've just torn out, sawed, shaped and generally abused!
David
thanks david much appreciated. ive just finished priming the body work and hope to be respraying at the beginning of next week.then just a small
matter of putting everything back together.
cheers scott
No worries - I'd like to see more predictable weather as well, 'cos I want to take my car to the next outing...
David
Also dashless at the moment. oh, and the new bonnet needs fitting, so i need another weekend.
What happened to the rolling road session proposal? I would be up for that in april/may
stuart
Stuart,
We can still do the rolling road meet if any one is interested?
It would be here
http://www.lorvenperformanceservices.com/home.cfm
Run by a couple of mates of mine. We would get use of their big car park and a free bar b. I recently organised and ran the Pistonheads rolling road
there.
Stuart, if you just want a run on your own drop me a PM when you are ready and i will see if i can sort you out a good deal.
I think the White Horse at Tattingstone would make a great venue. If we can come up with a date i will have a talk with the land lady and see if we
can get a bar b thrown in???
The rolling road would be good, as I'm sure mine needs adjusting. However I'm still running-in the engine, so don't do it too soon!
BTW: How much do they charge for a tuning session?
dj
How many miles are you running it in for??
Shouldn't take more than an hour to run an engine in. If you dont get some decent cylinder pressures early on those rings will never bed in!
I think dyno time rate is £70 +vat an hour.
Why don't we set a date for the Tattingstone meet. Say in a months time?

did someone invite us then or was it just a passing comment
think a barbie is a good incentive to get everyone to travel a bit! will have a word, we're booked up with alanb for april, so maybe may would be
a possibility..
Ned.
I don't think we could push Tom's Velocity as far as Tattingstone, but the Libra might make it.
So when is the meet up then or have I missed this in the posts somewhere?
Rich
Bit too soon to be turning up in my Velocity though...give it another 3 mths!
Sooner the better as far as I'm concerned, but then we're in the GRP-top.
Rich, car looks good in your archive, wouldn't mind taking a look at it if that would be possible.
My 16 year old is building one with a crossflow and it would be nice to see a few bits we're not sure about.
We're only in Sible Hedingham.
Any time mate, just not next week as I'm on my hol's. By the way I used to live just doen the road in cut maple!
Rich
p.s. Let me know if you want anything by Bosch too!
This is sounding good. Are we alowd to turn up not in a kit??
Come on Mr jenkins, whens this meet going to be then. ( someone has to make a decision)
cheers
craig
Just waiting for a time when it's not likely to piddle down with rain...
DJ
Sometimes, you just have to go for it.
Paul G
Anytime's fine for me.....but I have got a roof.
What we need is somewhere with a butty van open on a sunday. Any ideas?
I'm all keen after a little run out. new motor is scary.
Whens the tune up day?
Anyone for bookatrack at snetterton on 10th may?.... said i'd got keen; new engine revs to the skys and i need a track for a bit of practice.

So can you let me in on the secret of where the "Can Factory" is?
And I was going to put the engine in on Saturday....

: and 2 hours past the back of beyond
So far weather says "Sunny intervals, no rain"
Sounds good to me!
Do you want us to contribute anything Paul?
It's unfair that you should have to pay for all the bacon, drinks!
is there a veggie option?
i think you should ask the Parson.
Would love to come Paul , but have to work Saturday morning and would not be able to make it in afternoon . Hope you all have a good time .Rusty
saturday not good for me, have a good time.
i can imagine the butty smell now......

Hi Jon,
You have a U2U
Cheers
Paul G
Weather forecast still favourable chaps... possible rain later in the day.
Might be cloudy, but we don't care about that, do we!
rgds,
David
Hi All,
Well, the sun is shining chaps!
If anyone needs directions I'll be online (on & off) this morning,
Have a nice drive.
Paul G
p.s. Better go and tidy the garage I suppose.
[Edited on 24/4/05 by 907]
What times that kettle going to be boiled then paul ??????????????
craig
You couldn't ask for a better day, barely a cloud in the sky.
I'll be heading over on the bike. Mein vater won't be coming because he's chore ridden this morning but I shall bring his camera and
get some footage for the archives.
PS Will there be biscuits?
[Edited on 23-4-05 by the_parson]
Help, he's catching!!!!!
Dax chases Libra home from 907
ferg
thats 3 point's and £60 for use of a mobile phone whilst driving you know.
ps the dax is over silenced tell your friend
pps it did make the most impressice exit though
On that topic - does my car sound as loud from the outside as it does from the inside?
David
Thanks everyone for coming. It was good to see you all.
Quiet as a mouse David, well, quiet as a Locost anyway.
Better go and scrub those "darkies" off the road then,
get rid of the evidence, what say you then Craig? 
Paul G
I've just found this photo on my phone. Considering it's a Locost 'Do' it's a bit light on Locosts!!!
Libra'n'Dax at The Can Factory
Paul,
Thanks for a the bacon butties. Was a pleasure to look round the can factory and see the skill that goes into making one of those suckers!
Ferg,
I now have light and dark grey flock in stock so i can do your roof panel a fairly close match to he rest of the interior. Let me know when
you're ready.
Cheers Doug. That's definately a goer, I'll just have to get the panel to you when I'm back from Stoneleigh. As I say I may wait
'til July when we go away......
The dash samples look really excellent.
Those who attended the get together above will, no doubt, recall Keith's Dax Rush V8. Yesterday I attended the wedding of his daughter to a lad
that works for me and the Dax was in attendance for photographic purposes. The sun shone for the photos, but later I think Keith regretted not having
sorted a roof out yet........
