I'm not going to be able to make this, my car was in for MOT but had to cancel it as my parts haven't arrived:cry:, no chance I'll get it all up and running in time now with getting another MOT

Chriscooke
26-08-2010, 22:16

Bump. Anymore interest :)

Teggers
31-08-2010, 09:20
Not if its still on the 6th :( I haven't seen anything to suggest an alternative date. Such a shame as its only down the road from me (Literally - 8 miles away!!) but I'm afraid doing something nice for Bex for her birthday will take priority.

I did suggest we go out for a nice carvery meal but she said no to the Swan...

oh and chris nice flames :P

Chriscooke
06-09-2010, 23:02
Get a new pump in asap:nod: Oh and just as you were leaving us on the m5 I think something fell off your car as their were some sparks under you car for a couple of seconds :wack:


oh and chris nice flames :P

Yeah it does that :D

Edit: Nice sneaky pictures ross :)

Epic flames!

Third gear wheelspin on the sliproad joining the motorway was .... interesting.
It does alright for a 21 year old hatchback but it doesn't have the long legs of an SX when the speeds get a bit higher.

I still feel stuffed full of carvery now...mmmmn

Chriscooke
06-09-2010, 23:11
The flames do get a bit addictive as irish whale could tell you :D I lost the back end on the duel just after the shell station, whoops. Those shite tyres seemed to grip quite well on yours on that long right hander :D

Con2k. Nice accidental drift on the way out also ;)

remo
06-09-2010, 23:14
humm it looks alright... ill ahve a look in the morning when i can see...

yep i was in second with the backend out :P

SuperMonkeyKong
06-09-2010, 23:17
Well it must of been 'diesel spilled on the road' (or other lame excuse) not because of excessive man foot coming off the roundabout.
;)

remo
06-09-2010, 23:19
yhea all those lorry drivers not doing the fuel tank caps up correctly...

Chriscooke
06-09-2010, 23:20
Remo your car is most likely fine. The sparks weren't bad :)

remo
06-09-2010, 23:23
yhea i think it could have been the metal claspy things on the exhaust bottoming out? maby lol.

Chriscooke
06-09-2010, 23:24
Possibly. :)

remo
06-09-2010, 23:25
mehh not to worried :P

right iam going to bed and ive got ear ache :P

Con2K
06-09-2010, 23:30
Yeh, damn those fuel spillages! I think a small transition may have been in order if I wasn't getting greif from the passenger seat and a slightly concerned look on the face of the driver coming the other way. Speaking of which a certain 13 was lairy on the M5 slip... No names mentioned of course.

Flames? I am yet to see this Chris. And if that's partly due to decat then I retract my statement about wanting to keep mine lol.

Good to meet everyone. Pug was nice and loud when the far right pedal was hoofed. Love it

Sneaky pictures Ross. Nice one

Chriscooke
06-09-2010, 23:34
They look a little like this :D

<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qrFltbYzTC4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qrFltbYzTC4?fs=1&amp;hl=en_GB" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>

De-cat helps a lot with this as does the fact my fuelling is shite..

Con2K
06-09-2010, 23:44
Me wanty. Surely even a sports cat wud be ruined by that wouldn't it? Really need to sort out my centre section rattle against the floor. That will help reduce cabin noise loads. Once done I will aim to flame lol

Teggers
07-09-2010, 09:16
Sounds like you had a good time! Wish I could have come but we went out for a nice meal for Bex's 30th (oops, I mean 21st again)

Chris: sort another one when I don't have a family members birthday to sort out!

Chriscooke
07-09-2010, 10:27
Will do mate, shame you couldn't make it yesterday :(
Going to have to try and get the route 38 meets back up and running now as well I think :D

Channie
07-09-2010, 13:39

Swiftmini
07-09-2010, 14:06
Oh bums i missed yet another meet.

Sorry everyone, i will try and attend another mmet oneday. Thats unless people dont actually miss me lol. I have my gentleman back now so i will have enthusiasm for this kinda thing again :)

Channie
07-09-2010, 14:10

Teggers
08-09-2010, 10:02
Sounds good to me! I'll have to drag my sorry ass a whole 8 miles to get there! Or cycle... then I can burn off the calories that the carvery puts on!

Chriscooke
09-09-2010, 10:15
Cycle:ghey: If you have a working sx it shouild be at the meet :D

Teggers
09-09-2010, 10:20
:p I need the exercise... It kind of works - a few niggles to sort when I have the time and the Origin bumper to repair. Then I'll be ready for more upgrades :D

Chriscooke
09-09-2010, 10:23
You need the exercise?? In that case I should cycle from here:wack: :D

Teggers
09-09-2010, 10:45
Yup - not as fit as I used to be :( But then I did used to run and swim for somerset county team...

i hate sitting behind a desk all day :(
