Title: ANY CORNISH MEMBERS?
Post by cossiedave on Nov 5^th, 2006, 8:48am

it would be good to have a local meet if there are any?

one down side to living in cornwall is that its SOOOO far to go anywhere and at the rate of fuel my 24v laps up a trip to London or the Midlands is out of the question.

ive got mine to tow a fiesta trackday car about and my Nissan 200sx drift machine (is a drift car now cos i crashed it at the Nurburgring at easter) and if you cover up the MPG then it is a wonderfull towing car, ive also got a bmw 5 series 525tds and that is very poor compared to my 24v estate. ok its 50bhp down BUT it is still 193lb.
Anybody else use theres for towing?

PS Good to join up and hopefully chat to you all.

Dave

Hi Dave,

I'm stuck at the other side of the country in Norfolk but try to get down to St Ives as often as possible. It always seems to me that there are loads of Scorps about down in the South West. Perhaps there arnt many with drivers who have Internet. Whereabouts in Kernow are you?

Regards

Clive

not far from st ives!
i work in hayle which is a stones throw from st ives (2miles) but live in fourlanes redruth, which is just off the A30 near camborne, if you go to penzance along the A30 and look left at a very large hill you will see a MASSIVE TV MAST AND A MASSIVE CROSS thats four lanes and home of the Ulitma cossy ;D

im well up for it, i was wondering if anybody wanted a trip to the Nurburgring but its a lot to ask and a long way. would be mid-end of next year and a weekend, ive been a few times but not be on the ring in the scorpio should be fun, and ive got some nice brakes that work. :o

Hi Dave,

Had a walk from Redruth to Cambourne while new bearings were being fitted by the very nice people at the Nationwide Auto centre (Halfords) at pool only last week. Was staying in Kenegie, Penzance. Hayle is always my first port of call when visiting Kernow for no other reason than I am rather partial to a Phillps mince pasty. Reminds me of my lunchtime breaks when I was at school down there, HDGS.

Next visit will probably be Feb/March 07 and I'll confirm nearer the time assuming I still have a Cossie :P My ballooning Cossie Rad finally failed this morning :(

Til then, All the best, Clive

seeing if this works.
i didnt have any transparent pipe so lifted the whole bottle up and keep filling it to the very top untill the bubbles stopped, then slowly lowered it into place, checked the antifreeze strength and DONE lovely blue peters (heaters) for once, had to do something otherwise i was going to get done by social services for not keeping the kids warm :D
