Well, what a first meet for Cartech and Pure Reflections!

Many thanks to the zoners who turned out- Great to see you all, and get a good natter!

Hope everyone enjoyed their day- especially the wee run at the end...

Glad that Tedswagon now has a Clutch based pedal in his car-lucky we had the master cyclinder there!

Enough chat, picture time...


First up, Paul wanted my car clean before folk arrived- I was happy to let him oblige-top job as per!

Image

Image

We had e30's, e36 and e46 represented, some stunning cars, well presented, and well driven!

Image

Image

Some general pics of the meet, before the hoonery started...

Image

Tedswagon's 325i looking happy after getting a new master cyl- apparently like night and day the difference- glad its cool Ronan!

Image

Image

Lastly, as per, Fuzzy turned up in a turbo'd vehicle...

Image

Once again, thanks to everyone who came along- I had a great day!

Hope to make this a regular meet, as it seemed to work well!

I'll happily do servicing/repairs on the day, with special discount for zoners!

Springs have been in the garage waiting for a while now, I think they're -40 all round, but will need to trawl through my e-bay purchases for the last few months to find out, lol!

TBH, it doesn't look quite so bad now since I put the 17" Alpina Reps on :wink:

First of all I'd like to thank those of you who came out to the unit today, it was great to see all of you and I hope you all had a good day. Also sorry about getting smoked out from the BBQ, but hopefully it will be a bit nicer next time and we can get it out doors.
As for the meet, Neil and I were talking earlier and since it was quite a good turn out we're thinking of making it a regular meet, maybe monthly or every two months, so I'll keep you posted on that.
If anyone has any questions on the detailing or servicing aspects that Neil and I offer, feel free to ask.

I'll get some photo's up in a bit,

Cheers Paul. :D

Paul and Neil, what a great place you've both set up. I wish you both good luck with your venture, and a monthly meet sounds good mate, especially if burgers and coffee are on. Sorry I couldn't stay to see yer detailing work, maybe next time. Waiting for pics of Grants' touring on it's new springs, good work lads, till next time... :)
