Post by: Chris Lakin on June 19, 2007, 11:37:42 PM: hi Barry, ive sent the club stand form off to them, they have arranged it differently this year, which was a pain. Ive had to use club funds to pre book 6 cars. So 6 of you will be getting in for free (these 6 free tickets are given priority to the usual people like yourself Barry who make an effort and events/meets who have attended before. Anyone else will have to pay Ã‚Â£5 a car on the day.

Always an excellent show with great weather. Cant wait. We will be doing a BBQ this year.

regards

Chris

My 126's are still in kit form but am working hard on them to get them sorted.

I promise you'll see me at a meet this year with the air cooled.

I am welding sills this weekend, spraying next weekend so who knows.

Hopefully all will go to plan.

I am widening the wheel arches for the slotmags I got for her, tell you what, they look brilliant!
New box is in, engine runs sweet, electrics all electricing, only rust woes now.

Thinking about making the treck to come and meet everyone. AA route planner puts it at 200miles! :???:
At least it gives me an incentive to fit the car stereo now :D (Fag lighter working great now!) can take sat nav cool box travel kettle!

Cheers, Steve.

Post by: Idle Steve on June 24, 2007, 08:38:46 PM: Hi Chris,
Looks good for the show, Mum's going to have the kids saturday night & all day sunday. :D

So! count us in. :mrgreen: The wife an all :sad:

Post by: dajwid on July 12, 2007, 09:36:25 PM: A great show, don't do what I did last year and arrive half way through the day!
I hope to get along, looking forward to it. We have guests staying but will do my best to escape.
Title: Are we doing Uxbridge?
Post by: Dom on July 13, 2007, 04:03:46 PM: With Michael's help, I have finally managed to get the old car back on the road, so fingers crossed we should be attending on Sunday. Maybe get a nice convoy to drive up along the way?
Thinking of bringing the lady as she has nowhere else to go. Will there be entertainment for her? Pink cars and face painting perhaps?!

Title: Made it!
Post by: Idle Steve on July 16, 2007, 12:23:38 PM: Made the trip back to Bradford without even a splutter, a bit slower with all the engine bits (thanks Mick!) :D
Anyone out there worrying about long distance in a Bis, Dont! We did 408 miles in a weekend, the longest none stop run was 152 miles. :lol:

Got the long distance award of being able to cook the burgers!!!!!!!!!

The best Mpg was coming back at 66mpg, going down was 52mpg doing an average speed of 60-65mph. (going down we had a massive head wind hence the low mpg)

No water was used and not an ounce of oil! still bang on the full mark :D

A big thankyou to all who organised the event, we had a great time.

Steve & Mel.
