New Forest Meet, 24th Feb 08

[suchy]

I'm sorry I have to miss this one now, somethings come up! Not all bad news though at least my french turd won't ruin the mood and I will be at the next meet with my E30

Next time it is then? You sure it's not because of your French turd

[E30Mark]

OK, I've not been around much recently, the mountain of paperwork on my desk can wait, I fancy a trip out

Gordon, where are you planning on going to after the initial meet up at Burley services? as i doubt i will get there in time (got to look at a job on the way through Ringwood...) Jean and I will be in the mighty Citroen so as Gareth isn't going we will be able to lower the tone with our French scrap

[spook]

will see ya down there pompey boys, running late again

[hughesythelegend]

unfortunatly still not got work done i spent the whole day getting the hub off a tourer couldnt get it off so had to take the whole arm, driveshaft excetera, then windy guned it took it home spent sat night taking the old hub off! what a mission, then tried to fit the new hub only to discover thats its the wrong hub, the tourer hub has ball bearings from an earlier stage, so today im going to take out the ball baering and replace the old hub with the new insert from the salvaged one! and there was me thinking id make it! SORRY guys im gutted as the weather is great and a big thank you to RICH aka. DELPHINCABBY who i met for the first time yesterday and almost spent the whole day with the guy, thanks for your help mate and the discount ill def make it to the next one.

French scrap is the only way to fly if you don't have a running BMW! Ans the french scrap is still working just had to offer of a free lunch with family and couldn't turn it down really, no wonder I'm a fatty!

[Jon_Bmw]

Just got home, at 8.35 after a f***ing boring 4-5 hours sat in A & E.
Tan's shoulder and back are bruised but will be fine, possible mild fracture in her jaw which is why it hurt her so much to eat her lunch.
They didn't xray, as they wouldn't have been able to do anything to treat it anyway, so they didn't bother.
They've given her some pain killers, and told her to have a few days off work, and she should be fine.

Only got a few pics on my phone, will get them posted asap. Excellent meet, thanks to everyone that made it. It's the turnout that makes a good meet, not the location.

Cheers all, and thanks Lin for the pain killers you gave Tan earlier.

[delphincabby]

Yeah nice to put faces to name, hope Tan recovers soon fella

[march109]

WTF did I miss?

[Gortour]

A good turnout of cars, 12 was it? A cruise through the New Forest to the Filly Inn, good food (if slow service) and a good chat and a nice meet.

Ziggy had his cab with the M30 fitted, Jon_BMW had his iS, DelphinCabby made an introduction, Mark led the cruise with his Zantia ( ) and Rob (HKF) has butchered the middle of his front bumper and is planning a pair of huge Cibies to fill the hole,

[Jon_Bmw]

Just a quick teaser:

[E30Mark]

Get it right Gordon, the lead car was a mighty Citroen ZX

[Gortour]

Knew it started with a Z... Er, isn't the other one Xantia, with an X, not a Z? Oh well, who cares.
Still a piece of "french crap" as you called it yourself...

[Gortour]

My pics are now up. Sorry it's taken a while, had to sort Tan out too.

what did you do to her?

Take it Gordon, your off the Stella for a while?

[Gortour]

I can assure you it's nothing to do with me.

She went into Debenhams on the way to the meet, as she came out, she fell over. She put her hands out to stop herself, landed heavily on one arm and strained her shoulder, and hurt her back and her jaw too. I have NO idea how she hurt her jaw, but it's not shutting her up much...

She's better today, still in a lot of pain, but not taking the pain killers. Typical nurse, she makes a bl**dy lousy patient.

Thanks to those enquiring about her welfare.

[suchy]

Give her a punch in the chops from me Gordon (in a nice way though)

[Gortour]

I'm not that brave mate, you'll have to do it yourself.

Walking in the Air anyone? Chris is about to become the next Aled Jones...
