H, I see you were sorting the positioning of each car on the stand. Feel free to but mine near the back somewhere as i'm going to be very pushed for time to get the thing clean (to my standards) by Saturday morning. - Will try my best though

Cheers, Paul
feel free to but me right at the front

Ah. Again, my geography skills let me down

Don't be daft mate, I'm sure it will be a bit of a team effort to all help get each others cars looking good once we park up. I washing mine tomorrow night, but I'm brining a bottle of Megs Last Touch detailer and plenty of micro towells to tidy the car up once we arrive at Castle Combe.

If it rains don't stand under the power lines with an umbrella, like I did last year. Nearly got fried alive.

See you all Saturday.

Great day out, cheers all!
Had to duck out early as my mate had work at 3 in Cov but I think I had sun stroke by then anyway! Would have said goodbye but no-one was there when I needed to go.
Will hopefully see you all at the next local meet.

Mark,
duno m8. emissions light came on, no power, so had to pull over... Will start ok, but wont pull away, just cuts out.

I noticed on the way there that it was hesitating when i booted it, all i did yesterday was change the electronic boost guage sensor, and fill her up with V power, so have no idea.

The RAC chap reset the ecu 3 times, each time the light came back on...

Sigh.. and the spend goes on and on

Dave sorry to hear about your car mate wish I could think what it is...

It was a top day really, our stand looked great and the cars were very clean I didn't see many of though as we all kind of scattered once we were set up! Trust you all had a good time though.

Only drawbacks were coming home with a red neck and nose and only getting 240 miles out of the tank (hasn't been that low since when the lambda sensor died!)
