i might make this one seeing as my old oil burner sailed through the mot today, and the tester said the emissions were very low....that'll be the used cooking oil from a japanese restuarant....... ;D

Post by Jonnycab on Nov 11th, 2008, 10:34am
Cooking oil from a Japanese restaurant ?  ???......I though all the food was served raw  ;D

Hopefully I can make it as well  :)

P.S....the 30th Nov is my birthday  :D........
Ideas for prezzies would be a new auto dimming mirror, a 7000 RDS radio & a good 2.3 rad  ;)...... ;D

P.P.S......oh, & it's the wifes birthday on the 16th.....she could do with a rear N/S caliper  ;D

What a great meet, thanks to Dave and Mike for sorting my ABS and heater fan, great to see Gozz come all the way from Peterbourough, (that must be spelt wrong :() really good time had by all, thanks
Title: Re: Kent meet 30 Nov
Post by freddieboy on Nov 30th, 2008, 3:42pm
Yes, really good meet, and nice to meet some other halfs.     Had a fast drive home, got in at 3:20.    I`ll see if I can get the pics up as soon as possible.  Thanks All.   Freddieboy. :) :) :)
Title: Re: Kent meet 30 Nov
Post by Simmo on Nov 30th, 2008, 4:27pm
A really good meet, as has been said ,and it was great to see Gozz and Linda. The ladies, Caroline(Scorpio Mike), Linda (Gozz), Molly(Pagey) and Lynn, my wife, managed to find themselves a cosy corner in the pub leaving us to get cold in the car park. Paul (Pegasus) had his car back in pristine condition after a minor shunt and Tompion(Dave) had his 'manifold mod' on display. What a piece of engineering that is!!.  Gost (Bruce) got Tompion to service his ABS unit...as usual...and hopefully we have managed to get his heater fan working. Never mind the football Bruce get that WD 40 out!!.  Thanks to all for a great day.  ;D

Post by gozz on Nov 30th, 2008, 4:45pm
Nice to visit the deep south and see all the handsome gentlemen and some of their pretty ladies !
We got back  at 16.20 in a Peterborough monsoon,I reckon it was specially laid on to keep our Asian friends happy  ;D.
           All the best all (staggering down the pub now)50 paces,100 coming back  ::)
                                 GOZZ.

Hope to make the next one tho

Jeff. Check your PM's. You also missed out on a pair of wishbones which were lurking in Tompions car ready for you to 'modify' !! ;D.  Hope you soon feel better. Your access to 'facilities' was mentioned!!.  :D

Excellent stuff. Always good to meet other members and put faces to names. Picked up a nice pressy from CB1. Thanks John. Tried to force some coin of the realm onto him but wouldn't take it so will make a donation to the site. Thankyou ladies and gentlemen for a nice couple of hours. :)

Was even nicer when we got out of the c-c-c-cold car park & into the warm pub  :)

CB1  - how was Cornwall in the snow  ;D

Freddieboy was busy with the camera so should get some pics soon.

Yep, great meet. Meant to have a look over Gozz’s car but somehow never got round to it.

Bruce, don’t forget to check that brake union before the MOT & wipe away any brake fluid.

You need to put the pictures in a hosting site like Photobucket and then post the link in the posts you make. Or alternatively put them in your OWN web space provided free by MOST ISP's .
There are lots of free hosting  sites on the web.

Well thats it folks.  After some searching I finally got the hang of it.

The lovely dark blue scorp belongs to Pegasus,he tells me it's state blue,it is indeed a very good colour for the car.He has recently done some frontal repairs after someone ran into it,well worth it eh ?
