The MONSPORT Memorial Meet - July 15th, Portsmouth
Moderator: martauto
Been looking at the map Wayne, looks a doddle. Left out the carpark, over the big rbt, follow it to the lights and turn left. Follow the road, then turn right for the castle... Just follow the signs I think it said. If the turn for the castle is well signposted, there should be no problem at all... 
...if not, we've got a convoy of 30+ cars and one BIG headache...
Well done on the maps though mate, brill idea. If you assume that 30% will KNOW where they're going, maybe do another 10 just to be sure, should be more than sufficient. As I said if the signs are good, they hopefully will only be an emergency comfort-zone backup anyway. Thanks for that though. I've done similar for meets in this area, but I don't really know your area well enough.

Chris, gave the car a polish but had to go for a drive, a lot of e30s about today noticed a silver e30 in my rear view mirror closing in very fast on the eastern road, Hongkongfuey I think it was. Wayne and I are going to meet up at 12.50 at my house so will be at the view point by 1pm Sunday.

I'm f*cking livid/gutted.
I'd even bought my travel snacks and a tin of those service station sweets for tomorrow.
Gonna get it up on a jack tomorrow morning and see if its anything fix/bodge-able but I dont have high hopes... cable ties and gearbox mounts aren't a good combination.
Pm me your address and if I cant fix it I'll stick some pennies in an envelope and special them to you first thing monday for the kseal.
Can't believe after all the worries about the head (which the kseal seems to have fixed, ironically) this happens.

half my engine bay is held together with cable ties...
Two weeks ago I cable tied a mates gear linkage on...
There is nothing that cant be fixed with cable ties
if it is the mount, which I think is the prime suspect, then I'm sure I'll be able to bodge it somehow. ]
My main fear is that I've knocked the gearbox off the engine as iirc the lowest point of the box/engine (after the sump) is the part where the box mounts to the engine... but fingers crossed its not that.
Wheres the nearest train station? This really is a meet I dont want to miss.

The linkage is on the top of the box. There's no moving parts at the bottom.
Though the shock of the impact may have knocked it out of place... Curse this night time lark... I'd be out there now, wet and greasy (oo-er!) if I could see what I was doing.

I have a bloody great 2million candle power torch... that needs charging 
Its great fun scaring the locals with (looks like a police searchlight )... but because of this... its now dead
I'll be out there at daybreak though. As per pm, this is one of those meets that will be remembered for a long time to come and I really want(ed) to be a part of it.
If the worst comes to the worst I may well lower myself to pubic transport and get the train.
Gordon, before you leave, pm me your number... your services may be required to pick me up from a train station tomorrow at some point

Munky i'm sure you'll be up at this time being a house wife. Cleaning I suspect. I can pick you up from salisbury train station if you want, and as long as you are not weird Won't be able to drop you back off at salisbury though, could do southampton? You'd have to be in salisbury by half 11 ABSOLUTE latest though as i need to get to the meeting point on time or i'll get hopelessy lost.

The castle, not sure... Google tells me it's PO16 9QP.
Mark, see you at Canford Bottom, mate. Times not THAT critical, I'd rather people get there a few minutes early for the meet, rather than have to wait too long for people... no offence, anyone, my timings ARE probably slightly out...
Munky, if you need, mate, you're welcome to jump off at Poole station and travel up with me, can you get to the station by 11.30 though if you do?
Good luck with sorting the car, mate. 07974 914 962
