Thu Apr 03, 2008 6:56 pm

Sorry guys, yet another one i'm gonna miss. Will be stuck at the isle of grain, kent, as of this monday for a fortnight.

Catch up with those going to the ace cafe meet on the 10th.

And yes Matt, whoreing myself again mate :lol:

Fri Apr 04, 2008 8:26 pm

you dirty whore, lol

not going to make aces myself as im away for my birthday, bit of a shame as its on the list of places i want to go and its not often us northern (relatively speaking) folk seem to feel like making the effort

anyway back on topic, im looking forward to this meet, my cars on the ramp at work at the moment minus its wheels as theyve gone away for their second refurb after they started bubbling. sent the front cradle and anti roll bar away for a powder coating session too to go with the new (bmw) wishbones, m3 bushes, arb bushes and brackets and links and all new bolts

. replaced the rear beam bushes and now ive got some cash the 2.8 is back on so plenty happening to bore you all to tears with

hope buster gets pissed again, hes a real funny drunk

Squires Cafe!

Be careful on the way home though guys...

I managed to stuff my Jetta on the last bend before hitting the 'old' A1 coming away from the meet. That was REALLY clever of me! I was VERY lucky as it was a 15ft drop at 45 degrees. It's only coz the Jetta is so low that I was saved from rolling it I think. Popped a ball-joint and bent a G60 rim. Anyway, have a good meet, but be careful!

Yikes Giles, that looks scary, looks like a corn on the cob in your hand in that 2nd pic.

Saw a pic of your Jetta in one of the VW mags with the Audi pepperpots on. Still got the A8?

Everyone else still good for this?

Nick

Wed Apr 09, 2008 8:59 pm

shame about the rest of the underside

Wed Apr 09, 2008 10:07 pm

Milko... just remember that corner on your way home! Don't want more crash pics on the Cult forum!

BMW Concours at Harewood House

I'll bring all the stuff and if you have any questions just see Steve or myself.

See you there,
Nick

Thu Apr 10, 2008 11:18 pm

well that was a close one!!!!!

just got in from work after staying over to swap the complete front subframe over ready for tomorrow, not an easy task on your own to say the least and i didnt really need the head of one of the bolts shearing off which left the shaft rusted solid inside the subframe making it impossible to remove. started drilling it but the bit snapped leaving it undrillable so had no option but to cut the subframe off. the bolt then sheared level with the chassis leg, more drilling and tapping and then a lot of juggling about to get the new assembly in.

sorted now though and it feels good on all the new bushes but the tracking is quite a way out especially with the new M3 bottom arm bushes, hope i can get that sorted tomorrow and itll be a nice drive to the sherburn

Fri Apr 11, 2008 8:22 am

I'll be coming up as well - no idea in what tho.

Fri Apr 11, 2008 8:32 am

Double Six or Conquest Century? A LOT of polish either way.

Fri Apr 11, 2008 3:47 pm

Sovereign or dart, Sp250 or Limousine... I think the limo takes the biscuit for having to use the most polish!
