[smithy318i]

Im not going because its too far and i cant be bothered.

Whats your excuse?

[Davenotouring]

I don't have an E30...........

[Splondike]

I would be there.. but I am stuck at work...

You going to Santa pod though Dave ?

[d6dph]

Was told by work that i couldnt get this weekend off, Rota comes round and they gave me this weekend!

Too late to get anything organised.

[Davenotouring]

May well go to Santa Pod Mark, you going?

Wonder if they'd let me in in the Honda!?

[Gwynleym10]

got back from a bit of travelling yesterday and my car doesn't have and exhaust maniolfd!

[Theo]

At work, and it was a bit far anyway. And it's raining. And my exhaust on the red car is blowing a hurricane, and my sport, well let's just say it has rust issues.

[Davenotouring]

Rust issues which make it lighter!

[Splondike]

I will be going mate....yes.. and I am sure they will let you in with the Civic that is a legendary vehicle itself...

Theo the Sport is not long for this world then mate ? Will you scrap it once the MOT is up then ?

[Theo]

The thing is a weapon, good thing I've got 10 bbs for it basically! Looking more likely that I will frag it after it's been to the ring. Still unsure though.

[Davenotouring]

Hehe. They won't let me run the strip though I bet!



Hopefully see you there.

I always suspected it was going to be a breaker, just hoped that it might be possible to restore - it really isn't though. I really don't want to pull a sport apart, such nice cars, and this one has some oomph too. I'm very impressed with the C/R box, wasn't expecting a big difference from the standard gearbox really.

[smithy318i]

when is santa pod?

[Splondike]

Hehe. They won't let me run the strip though I bet!



Hopefully see you there.

Hope so mate - be good to catch up with some old skoolers

4- late night last night (last night of the proms at Castle Howard)

[Wilson325i]

just woke up, kainda late now

[mikey-t]

was enjoying the rain a bit too much last night and while giving it some on my "private test track" my mainfold gasket decided to eat itself and exit stage left! on closer inspection my manifold was missing 2 studs and 3 nuts! so no wonder really!

anyone got any advice for me for repairing! can get to the top studs and nuts, but the ones underneath look like a right ar e hole

[JAFF]

no money ! having to do head gasket and head skimm

[ad318i]

only just woke up from last night!

[jamesc]

Still fixing my car, don't get anytime during the week

[StuBeeDoo]

I've got the same excuses as you Graham. It's the same distance from mine as it is from yours. As I explained in another Gaydon thread somewhere, after 30+ years I can't seem to get excited about shows any more.

Plus, I've spent £500+ on my car in the last 6 weeks. £200 was essential to keep it on the road and the other £300+ was non-essential. That's like the next 6 months car budget blown already, so now I'm grounded until I can get some of my gear sold to recoup a bit.

[Geeman]

And where's Steve Tiggers excuse then...? Not on here!
