Well, its now under two weeks til the Roam departs :D

We'll be up in Inveraray for lunch Circa 2pm on Sunday 10th April..

Anyone fancy joining up for some grub, a natter and a Run?

We'll be heading to Connel after luch so can take the "Scenic route" up the A816 for anyone after a fun drive :cool:

If interested,

Please stick your name down!

An all too familiar problem!

Would be cool if you and Jason could make it- at least you'll probably be able to keep up :cool:

well the only things stopping it being roadworthy ( i hope) are an exhaust, a torque wrench for the front hubs, fluids and a radiator and fan loom....a million other things need doing on it of course but i doubt it will ever be anything other than a work in progress. :) could just about make it. winkeye

also just remembered i found out last week that i had been thrashing the tits off it last summer with one of the caliper springs missing off the front brakes....don't know how dodgy that is but it made me think. :)

I'll pop down with the executive chariot Neil.

Woud pop down through the week, but have postponed holidays in a wee scam to get more money & extra time off in May.


Nick,If I find one of the old front calipers,I'll pop a spring through tthe letterbox some evening.

If you have a 1/2" dr socket for the front hubs(if it's 36mm I can bring one of them too), I'll bring along a tool for the job at the same time.

Doubt it, too much work on so I can't get near the cabby to get the new exhaust system on and get it through an MOT.

Just stock non M ones Nick.

My kit is only 1/2" dr and I dont have an adapter
If it was 36mm, it wouldn't be a problem.
Was worth a try

Right, We'll be in Inverary for between 1.30pm and 2.

We'll Be having lunch at the following Cafe

Brambles Bistro
5 Main Street West, Inveraray PA32 8TU,
01499 302252

The food is good and reasonably priced :D

We'll then run to Connel via the A 816 so that leaves folks pointing in the right direction for heading home.

So Who is coming then?
