Well Karl it seems to have the two most important things toilets and a cafe !! being national trust property a fee would probably have to be negiotated for a meet there even if its only in parking fees (usually £2.50 )
sin in theory all feasible and access to the outside areas at least. but its good people are bringing up options for meets. As an old devonian I would love to attend meets but I leave the 500mile round trips to flying banana he's better off than I am

Greetings,

I'm in damp Teignmouth. I don't drive very far and the 75 is a bit poorly at present owing to a flood, getting better though... just need a heatwave to dry it out a bit more 8)

Always thought the forecourt at Castle Drogo would be a good spot for a line-up of 75's

I'd be up for that!
Castle Drogo isn't too far from Pastyland

I'm also in Devon and would be interested to meet. ZT is off the road at the moment but the 75 is a daily user.

Castle Drago would be cool, heard of it but never been.

I'd probably be up for Castle Drogo, never heard of it but could be fun

Hi guys,

I'm in Exeter and would be up for a meet, also would like to meet anyone in Exeter who has a general knowledge of their 75/ZT. I've had mine for 8 months now and am looking for people who could just help/advise on minor works, etc. At the moment I'm looking to do the Plenum Mod if anyone could help.

Hope to meet you all soon :-D

Is this one a goer?

Often pass Castle Drogo and I am intrigued (even if only by its name!). A local meet for most of Devon/Cornwall would be awesome.

Hope it gets the thumbs up!

Welcome, Lee.

The forum will provide you with almost everything you need. I have been a member for almost two years now and I think I have rescued my car from the brink a fair few times thanks to these threads. There is a good 'how to' provided by member Artic about the plenum spyhole mod. Jules (runs a forum shop) sells plenum guards that prevent debris and detritus from entering the chambers and blocking the drain holes. I found that some very small holed mesh works well and has so far stopped anything blocking my plenum chamber. Still check every week or so though as you can never be sure.

Hopefully a local meet will allow you (and me!) to put some usernames to faces. In the meantime, enjoy the wealth of knowledge.
