If you (or anyone else around the Guildford area for that matter) would like a lift, just let me know as I'll have one seat empty!

[Leon.]

Thanks for the offer, Jaspa also kindly offered too.

Made alternative plans though now so see you at the next one hopefully...

Isnt there speed bumps in the spectrum ?

Depends where you go in the car park. It's been a couple of years since I was there, but from memory as you go into the car park, the ones to the left have speed bumps, but go straight on and the car park down the end doesn't (providing you don't go into the covered car park IIRC).
Of course, it could've all changed in a couple of years!


BTW, Anyone heard from Krista if she passed her test or not?


Only a couple of days to go now till I get to see the '2 again! I soooo need to find a garage local to me!

I think Krista's test is on Saturday.

[Tiamat]

Krista's test is on Saturday yes.

If my m8 gets his tubby this weekend ill be down with him but im most likely to come even if he doesnt get it...can he come in his FTO?

Topguns coming down too I think...so reserve about an extra 4 spaces if need so...my gfs coming too

[Jaspa]

can he come in his FTO?

I think the general consensus is "the more the merrier"

Know about Topgun, but thanks anyway, as this Event is also posted on the OC - means we should have anythign between 15 - 20 cars if everyone turns up.

Yes he can come in the FTO, whilst we do operate a fairly open policy with regard to the Guildford meet, it is an MR2 meet only and in the case of anyone who wishes to join in a non-Mr2, it is always appreciated if we know in advance.

The only reason is, whilst casting no aspertions on your friend, is that we do not wish to be associated with the Guildford Cruise nor do we want just anyone turning up.

But for clarification, your friend in his FTO is fine.

See you all Sunday.

[monkeymax]

Don't forget, the clocks go back one hour this Sunday (= more sleep).

So if you get there and there's no one else there, you may have to wait an hour! (If you've forgotten to set the clocks correctly!)

major grief, my gearbox has exploded, so wont be coming to guildford!!

boo

[LimeyMk1]

Feckin ar$e!! I was really looking forward to seeing another V6 MK2 (seen Fizzy's).

Any ideas on the cause? Paul didn't forget to fill it with oil did he?

[foxy-stoat]

ooooow, dont let him see that !! hehe

he said that the speedo drive got chewed up, took it out and bunged up the hole, drove it and BANG

he reacons it was on the way out anyways, but we'll never know.

he has already found another box and gonna slip it in for free ( good man ! ) but i gotta pay for the box.

so its just more expense and time. was looking forward to ripping it down south, but nevermind, at least it didnt happen after a £100 train ticket and 5 hour train ride...then i'd have to spend another £100 on a return ticket and ANOTHER 5 hour train ride home, cursing and swearing all the way back.

so its not ALL bad i guess !

Daaaaaaaaang!

thats a real shame mate. Was really looking forawrd to seeing the V6'd beast for an assessment as to whether I go this route/.

Hope it gets sorted soon mate. Le us know when its done as Id love to meet up some time towards your end of town to still take a good look.

Thanks,,Bobby

[PW@Woodsport]

yep it looks like somethings come loose inside the box and punched a hole in the casing....limey no oil,shame on you sir!

New box sourced and getting fitted on monday,im just glad it happened now rather than later.

[philster_d]

Sorry SWMBO had different ideas of a fun way to spend my weekend

Have fun guys I will see you all soon.

Philster.

[Antstarr]

Gr8 run thx to Tiamat, Limey etc...1st Guildford meet but loved the route, only con was gettin stuck behind the odd old car which forces the xx amount of MR2s overtaking random cars lol

Most likely to come to the next one gr8 fun. Traffic home was awful...spotted RoadWarrior on the way home.
For those who didnt know who I was, I was in the red turbo with the jap plates.

Say Hi next time

[Leon.]

[LimeyMk1]
