Big shame that I will be missing this to be honest, will need to do another in August or something...on a date I can make. :P
It would be a dreadful shame if that happened, no the touring will rise like a phoenix from the flames to lead triumphant :D

We shall see how this one goes, if there is a good turn out and we have a bit of fun I'll consider organising another in August maybe with an overnight camp stop somewhere :D We shall see.

James did mention a trip around his way too.

...Sheep, free grazing moorland ponies and a few deer for good measure. This all makes for a very interesting run home after a long days work, especially on those dark foggy winter evenings. The ponies stay in the grass, the sheep make camp on the white line..

I could NOW come in my E30 as I've only just got it to my new home. But the 4 hour drive down was rather hot, noisey and unpleasant. Plus the tracking is way out as I've not sorted it since my suspension upgrade, so not that fun to drive :mad:

Can anyone help? :D :D

You should see how wonky my steering is mate! 8O Not exactly the ultimate driving machine it's meant to be...

Trip to the garage soon will sort that.

Track the wheels yourself mate, 2 axle stands some fishing line and a tape will do it just fine. Plenty of guides on youtube to get you on the road.

Might have a go at that :D Saw a thread on here about also needing some dark crystals and chanting, I'll have to look in the OH's jewelry box... :mad:

Depending on how things go with the baby (which just took a massive change yesterday), I *may* still come for one of the route legs. Send me the joining instructions closer to the time :D

Sorry guys, not going to make this one :cry:

Was hoping my E36 would be mobile by now, but sadly no and this is the current state of my E30, which I'm thinking won't be mobile by Sunday!

http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=239368

All being well will deffo have something mobile for the next one though.

Thats the way things go sometimes Andy, no worries. Sometimes you are the windscreen and sometimes you are the fly :)

Can any of you guys from Bridgewater way help me out? I need a gearbox picking up form TA7 9BP, could any of you living near bring it with you on the weekend? I will obviously provide petrol and bridge money and possibly a bacon sandwich too :D

There have been developments too with regards to the show. Watch this space.

So, I could live with wonky steering just to make an effort and meet some new faces. More importantly Mrs milescook delivered little Matthew Tuesday, and all is surprisingly well with the circumstances :D I'll be setting up his E30 zone account in due course 8)

So with this all in mind I can get away to the garage and swap the fuel filter, and meet up for a leg or stop. I can't stay too long as its not fair on the Mrs with an adhd 2 yr old and newborn even with her mum over to help.

So send me joining instructions I'm in!
