[agw_01]

As ready as I'll ever be

Need to fit my laguna splitter and give the car a wash tonight. Also give the car another coat of wax which should mean any ash that falls should just blow straight off as soon as the car gets on the motorway

[matt077]

[Geo_coupe]

I am still amazed your comming all the way down from Scotland to this meet, Real Rover Fan

How long is it estimated Geo to come all the way down?

Well

Wednesday = I cleared all crap out my car
Thursday = Cleaned up all the leather seats
Friday = After work im vaccing, Claying, wash, and waxing ready

So saturday I get abit longer in bed

[agw_01]

Yeah, that's some real dedication.

Geo, are you coming on your own or have you managed to drag anyone else down with you?

[Geo_coupe]

think routefinder said about 6 hours james need to leave at about 2 in the morning just to make sure theres plenty of time to get down!

andy, me and rav are coming down but im not too sure if hes managed to talk anyone else into it!

[agw_01]

2 o'clock Jeez! And I thought setting off from mine at 5am to get to Combe was bad enough.

Be good to meet you and Rav.

[stefaclese]

Not looking good here, unless I can get the new 'box back together and fitted to the car today

[Geo_coupe]

[beef]

me and the old man will be there just wish the 220 gti tickford turbo was ready but still no engine in it yet so it will be the 220 td there agen just hope it as good as last year

[stefaclese]

Right, I now have a gearbox rebuilt ready to whack on the car, with about 3 and a half hours of daylight and an engine crane I should at the very least be able to get the 'box on and in place by the time it gets dark, once thats done its plain sailing and the rest won't take, obviously I want to get the car running again tonight so I can finally rest and drive up to Hopwood services tomorrow morning.
But failing that and I have to finish off work on the car tomorrow morning, can I just turn up at Cofton Park later in the day and just park up by the RT crowd? That being the case, anyone want to reserve a space for me?

[edward22]

ill be there not in the coupe though as banned from driving .
ill be with the rcoc lot

[Mat_clarke]

Im gunna get up at 7 ish to paint the rest of the Tourer

[matt077]

[mattyprice4004]

Last minute as always from me!

I happened to see agw_01 hiding behind his desk, sporting a pink umbrella and he told me it was tomorrow... luck eh!

See you there, in the ZShed of fail covered in soot with a blowing downpipe.

[agw_01]

Does anyone have the postcode for the meeting spot? Can't be bothered reading the thread

Mat, you're just jealous of my purple (pink ) umbrella

[southside]

I wont be there this year, Not got a car worth turning up in. my MK2 ZS is untaxed, MY Celestrial blue 180 is untaxed and the car im using at the min is a poverty spec ZR which isn't worth showing off. Was trying my best to get a BRM as i've wanted one for a while and it would be worth comming up in but not found one in time.

Maybe next year

[black_sunrise]

car is now cleaned, going to stick some pics up in a sec as its a bloody sexual car in the sun for sure.

not sure what time to set off tbh, will probably go straight there.

EDIT: well i see we arnt leaving for crofton park until 11ish so that gives me plenty of time actually.

[VVC MINI]

In coming now. Ill put the turbo conversion on hold for a week. Need to sort my oil feed anyway so no point rushing. Ill come along in my Mini.
