Oooh...

Touring tool roll complete (325 - I think the plug spanners are different?)
Pair of small triangular plastic covers for front doors (where the tweeters go, but not the tweeter pods, if you know what I mean :) )
Near side door mirror in sterling silver
Leather gear knob in good nick
Leather handbrake handle in good nick
Touring matched lockset w/key(s) inc glovebox lock

Shoot me some prices on here, might not have enough pennies for all these things at once, but let me know what you've got and how much you want and I'll let you know which bits I'll take.

On topic, does anyone have a postcode I can slap into google to work out where exactly this is?

Right, been held up, just realised the time, and how long it will take to get there, so looks like I'm giving it a miss! Sorry guys, hope it was a good 'un, will try and make the next one!

Just missed you Spadge, technical fault...

Was a nice meet though, decent people no idiots, all propper nice cars and all mint.

The way back was the best bit, racing E30cossie half way back and ended up towing him the other half 8O

I made it half way back then the water pump would not hold any pressure. Just about to go and check the damage.

Apologies for not making it, unfortunately half way to the M5 from here my exhaust fell off!

Fortunately for me my in-laws own a garage and I got it towed back and repaired.

Will deffo aim to be there if it's repeated next month!

I removed the water pump and found the little wheel had fallen off the back and the bearings were shagged.

There was no damage that I could see. half an hour to get the pump off and one and a half hours to get the viscous fan off. I will be fitting a new pump tomorrow. Will have to see how it goes.
