Lincolnshire/Norfolk Meet June 28th 2014

[coolguy]

Felt very guilty at missing today's meet having missed the previous one, but woke up to a flood in my yard (not insurmountable, but mucky), and a leaking radiator - fortunately in the central heating system and not the cars, but meant that it was around 11am before I could set out, and with 65 miles to come, thought I would miss most of the fun, so gave up, and attended our local "Armed Forces Day" instead. Hope I am forgiven.

Please confirm future dates so I can make a better effort!

Regards.

Had some ferrying around to do later and the heavens opened, lakes everywhere so difficult to demonstrate the peaks to my son, although I tried, theres always tomorrow Did notice much better mpg coming back though, think they will pay for themselves
Good day Mark, think I have achieved more with my car at your meets recently than I have at any garage
Just need to think of something for Phil T4 to do for me at next meet

PS Hope Jay liked his remap was half expecting him to pass me

Thanks for your kind words mate, but sadly that's more due to the T4 guys than myself!

After Barry's experience with a "normal" garage almost destroying his car, it just echo's my view that we should only take our cars to people who actually know about them, even if it means a slightly longer trip at service time!

Personally, although he's a 160 mile round trip away, the only person that will be touching Ed in future is Trikey!

Sorry you couldn't make it, but sounds like you were needed more at home!

Dates for the next two meets will be Sunday August 31st and Sunday October 26th!

I look forward to meeting you, if you can make either/both!

August date is unlikely, but have marked the calendar in RED for the 26 October - MOT time before then so fingers crossed!

It was in my mind Mark but got stuck behind a queue of traffic behind a slow moving lorry for miles. Didn't see you in the line. By the sounds of it you were probably in the same situation, just further up the road

Goes from 50mph to 90mph pretty sharpish now (I mean 70mph)
Fuel consumption was also better with lower speeds achieved in 5th gear

Look forwards to the next meet

Just a few pics from the day!
