Due to snow, we had to cancel the planned run across the moors on 31st Dec.
Same plan as before, meet at the B&Q just off jctn 25 M5 at Taunton. I'll then dish out some route plans so hopefully we all end up in the same places together(famous last words?)
Could you all e-mail me with mobile numbers so I know how to contact everyone just in case. I'll then e-mail you all with those contact numbers.

Happy new year.

Steve.

Big Bear

I've managed to get the time off , the DS2000's should be nicely bedded in by the 28th .

Dave

Big Bear

Forgot to ask is nick going to make it ?

NOZZER

What are the plans? When and where to meet and how many are going? Cant wait to see the countryside. All set up with the missus so lets hope for no snow or my excuss is knackered! Big Bear, try and make it. If Cadburys is closed for a while then Keynsham will be a ghost town!!

Got them disks and pads fitted yet, They have been down Tiley's all week.

NOZZER

Bob,
Got them fitted this morning. Time will tell if they are as good. When are yours being done? And the wheels? Will have mine dipped anthracite after exmoor!!!!
Ian

Ian834

NOZZER, where are you getting your wheels done??? Will you be using the same anthracite colour as the P1 wheels?? If so, do you know the spec?

Bob, I've mailed Steve to include me in on the Exmoor run.

So far it looks like there shouls be eight of us on the run.

How about if we meet at Gordano services on the M5 9.30am, trundle down to the Taunton B&Q and plan to leave there by 11.00am.
A lunch stop is planned within about an hour. Plus an ice cream down by the coast.

I'm planning on reccying the route again on Sat/Sun.

Steve.

bob

Nozzer/
Had the disks and pads mesured and had the car back in 15 mins. They just said they would give me a ring when the disks and pads come in. Don't know about the wheels as yet.
Ian834/
Hope to see you again on the 28th, I miss the S02's in this weather.

Sorry Guys,

It looks like we might be minus a scoob again replaced by a polo. Next Mon/Tues they want it back to have another go at respraying the boot, they reckon it'll take a week, cause they have to order new Subaru badges as they won't mask the old ones up.
Dealers are not the fastest in supplying apparently.

Nozzer
Are you coming karting on 27th, Steve is coming and Dave may be, let us know?

Dave/Bob,

Saw a couple of dodgy dudes in Fast car mag, then I recognized the faces.

See ya soon,

Paul and Tracey

Ian834

I don't want to ring too many alarm bells yet, but I received an email from Steve last night saying that the date for the Exmoor run was the 27th

Can somebody contact Steve (I've emailed him, but he's not responding!) by phone to find out what's going on??

Ian

bob

Ian/ The 27th is a Sat a few of the lads are going carting on that day. Steve may have this muddled up with the run which is on the 28th, on a Sun.

SteveB

iTrader: (1)

Oops, looks like i've got my dates muddled.

The exmoors drive is on the Sunday 28th.

Sorry for any confusion.

Steve.

Nick

Hi Guys

We might be able to get a babysitter, but I have to call a big favour to do it. Is the drive DEFINATELY on? If so, I'll try it.

SteveB

iTrader: (1)

Nick,

Thought we'd lost you there for a while.
The drive is definately on, baring any sort of freak weather.
Look forward to seeing you both.

Steve.

Big Bear

If Nick is coming I'd better start cleaning the car now to get all the salt off !

NOZZER

Dave,
Thought id do the same but then remembered that the car was in for a service and mot today so Tilley's have done it for me!!! Brakes have bedded in, not quite so harsh as ds3000 but still good none the less. As far as dust on wheels, will see after a bit of braking behind Bob next sunday!!!!!!!!
PAS,
sorry cant make carting, two dodgy excusses in one weekend is asking to much.

Ian

Ian,

Think of all the grit and muck on that brush that Tileys use to wash the cars. Check for scratches.
Wouldn't let 'em near mine with it.

Steve.

bob

Brush !!! What brush... Had a valet on mine the other week and they used jetter and sponges. They done an excellent job took me days to get it dirty again

Nick

Bob

Remember what that useless, unfriendly, unhelpful lot at Atkins Motors did do my car with a pressure washer? Took the paint off!

bob

The only problem I found with Tiley's cleaning is the acidic solution they use on the wheels, it certainly cleans the wheels but I believe it also removes the lacquer from the wheels. It’s a bugger to get the brake dust off after a Tiley's clean.
Nick you never get any luck with that outfit you go to, don’t know why you still go there.
How did you get on with the brakes problem?

Nick

Bob

They won't reply to my letters about the brake problems.

Atkis have lost my business. For the next service - I'll use Tileys.
