Update from me:

Doubtful I'll be there. Spent all my money dragging some 4 door wrongness home from Milton Keynes so will be missing this :cry:

Will update if things change, but unlikely...

Update from me (!) - definitely won't be there early, but thanks for the offer!

Rog - your anti-miracle is working wonders; not only is there absolutely no chance that the E30 will be ready (thank your old man for all the rain this week), but now the Caddy's got a ****ed wheel bearing too! :x

ivqii, Sounds fine to me mate, don't know the area, but if on the main 338 heading north, no problem.
Rog would like people there early, so should we make it 9am?

Ziggy, no worries mate. Offer still there if you let me know soon enough.

No more dents on the cars when I left, although si and nemo still have an hour of travelling to try and acheive it.

Sorry I was late Rog, silly work commitments. The suprise of the day was cool too, some organising and a bit of good fortune? went into that!

Good laugh, bring on the warmer weather though.

A real shame the turnout was so low, 4 Tourings, one 2dr saloon, and a Volvo that left after the initial meet, and an Audi that joined us at lunctime...

Your loss guys and girls, you missed a blinder of a meet.

Many thanks to all who pitched up,Gortour,Tannerman,Scott325SE,Simon13,Nemo (and his hero pal) and Jon_BMW,and of course to the driver of that f uck off tank :D

I thoroughly enjoyed the day,even if it was bitterly cold and the Range Warden was a homo :x Still, atl east we managed to have some fun :twisted: before he showed up!

Nice to here the roar of BMW finest's being given a proper seeing to!

Was a great day,and even better by bumping into the tank after lunch,you remember,that looooooooooong lunch

:evil: Wasn't the tank driver and his co pilot friendly eh? Into BM's too,what a result!


Still thawing out at the mo :eek: But will get some all be it dodgy,pics up shortly.

Once again thanks to everyone for coming :D

:cry: I feel sooo lame for missing this! As soon as I get the E30 on the road, I'm gonna come & buy ya a drink to apologise Rog.


If you want the reason (note I'm not calling it an excuse), I got a phone call off the stupid ****s at GSF asking me if I still wanted the rest of my order shipped, even thought they'd not been able to get hold of the prop bearing. Yes, I did, & yes, it would have been a bit more ****ing useful if they'd not waited to tell me, & actually sent the wheel bearing that I needed, or even given me time to get it elsewhere! ****s! I fully expect the wheel to fall off at some point this week on the way to work, but can guarantee it would have done on Saturday if I'd dared drive it. [/rant]
