Alignment being down next sat, along with stat, dizzy cap & rotor change.

Should be all okay ready for weekend after!

Spent so much time claying each panel at a time and it's so much better.

Yeah, seems that most car cleaning is better done one panel at a time.

Ticket arrived this morning, thanks Dan. We are in the top field directly behind quarry, so better than expected from last years map layout.

Same! Like a big kid!lol. Well, I`ve got to that stage of the year where I can`t wait to get behind the wheel of a 2 again, plus I know I`m going to this! By the end of the summer I will probably feel ready to tuck the car away again though that`s how it normally goes! :lol: Love the roar and noise and low sprung feel when you first get back in it then a couple of months later I`ve had enough! Then by the end of next winter I`ll be pining for it again! :lol:

Just had a look over on the OC and sent a PM to Jay to let him know there is interest from IMOC to join with them. All good, more the merrier obviously. So I`ll start a fresh list here to save doing a new thread.

Please copy/paste the list below, and add your username if you are going to the 6:30am Chieveley Services meet to convoy in. More detail to follow.

coanda wrote:Hey,

Am getting my wheels refurbed for japfest and due to the layout of my drive, I need to be able to park car out of the way once the near side wheels are off. I can do this using my spare wheel and a.n.other spare...and then the offside wheels can come off and I'll use axle stands to support the offside.

I am wondering if anyone local to chippenham/swindon/bristol would be willing to lend me a spare wheel for a week or so whilst my alloys are in for refurb? I'd need it for Thursday morning at latest and can pop around in the evening after work.

Cheers,

coanda


What Revision? I've got a set of Rev1 rear alloys spare (with legal tyres) that you could borrow, I'm just up the M4/A420 in Didcot. Obviously if you've got a Rev 3 then this won't work due to brakes and such ^.^;

Only the chippenham meet for me please.
Im in Swindon so no point back tracking on myself though I would if it wasn't so early!

Maybe one of you guys could give me a ring when you are at the junction before Swindon and I can "rolling" meet you on the m4 lol

Taken from the convoy plan on the OC originally sorted by Gaz! (Many Thanks) >>>

`As with every big meet, we convoy in, usually one of the best parts of the day. In recent years (since 2004) we have all met up at Morrisons car park, chippenham.

Morrisons
Cepen Park North
Malmesbury Rd
Chippenham, Wiltshire SN14 6UZ

All the guys coming from the SE, I plan to be at chievely services, Junction 13 M4, 0630. Then Morrisans for 0715.

Anyone else from other regions please post up, so we can organise and maximise the convoys. Its early, but if we dont get in early, you will be stuck in the que from hell for half the day.

Chievley Services 0630`

I`m awaiting contact back from Jay on the OC to 100% confirm convoy times. Please get names down for now, it may be people want to leave a few minutes earlier to avoid queues but at the moment it looks as though 6:30.

CONVOY TIMES STILL SUBJECT TO POSSIBLE CHANGE.

I'm coming from Kent so will leave at 3am... (rude word) my life. So will meet at the Chievely services. What time are you thinking of leaving the services so I know a cut off time as I'm travelling a fair distance.

As we have quite a few swindonians on imoc and the oc site ive started a separate thread if anyone wanted to join a smaller convoy from Swindon to chippenham.

Cool, I may go straight to Morrisons myself. Actually no strike that, Chieveley I should be able to make looking at routefinder. Leave 4am also, 2.5 hours from my house.
