If we can keep these going Liam you'll be able to make it sometime. I'm sure your car isn't as bad as you say but as long as it's on the road is the important thing.

Graebob that map's about right - don't go to the front entrance as you'll end up in the wrong carpark - you need the one off Mill Road

Is this meet going to become a regular??
It's not often that I'm available, and I wouldn't have missed this one if my car hadn't let me down.


Mind, IIRC this has happened before. Maybe the car doesn't like going to meets. :roll:

The Sage wasn't ideal Stuart because the checkies turned up and no-one had paid so we had to get out quick - but everyone was keen to meet up again.

How's the rebuild?

The 'head's ready Mick, but the bottom-end is still at Cleasby's. I'm really hoping that they can get it done before Friday so that I can get the car running tomorrow week at the latest.
We're away in less than 4 weeks and I want to get at least 500 miles on the engine beforehand.

It was going to take at least a fortnight to get a Cat264. Then Ant put doubt in my mind as to whether the pistons might need further pocketing due to the increased lift. I didn't want to get involved in waiting for the cam, then doing a trial build and then possibly have to wait again for Cleasby's, so I decided to go for a new standard 325i cam.
