Will be on the 4th - The Check Inn, Wroughton.

Pub opens at 6:30, but people tend to get there a little earlier....work's no where near as much fun as pubbing!

See you all there! :nod:

Got my new contract in Salisbury, so can't make any more unless I get another one in Swindon in the future. :( (but :D at a Salisbury contract)

So long as there's no work, i'll be there.

Anyone who comes along will I will uncover the mystery of the vehicle in my signature.

Don't let the cat out the bag, Dystemper, Koko or Wood, please!!

bring whatever vehicle you want... but if it's not a 200 you're not getting in!

(not strictly true looking at recent meets but the number of 200s present is ever increasing!)

as long as it's not a White Van you'll be alright...

Here's a thought-- CA18DET in a 1985 Capri???
dystemper
28-10-2003, 16:00
sweet!

if you convert the headlights to pop-up ones it'll blend in much better!
Woody
28-10-2003, 18:28
I love Capri's
Mum used to have a Yellow one with Matt Black bonnet and roof
sheer class :thumbs:

No need - there's a Turbo Technics conversion for it which bolts straight on to the original 2.8i Cologne engine - they don't even lower the compression ratio :D

But the conversion gives 204bhp as standard :thumbs:

At last, a proper car. What's it doing here?, thought this was the
Japanese money pit owners club website?

What do you wanna put a CA18DET in a capri for? Don't you realise every car has one major failing-Fords rot-CA18DETs fcuk up now and again-whats the point of having a car that rots and fcuks up now and again? Ask the fiat owners club!!!!

Refreshing, Can't beat a good bit of dagenhams best!!!

I'll actually turn down any offers of work to see that, Pete. We can teach the sx'ers what axle tramp is, too!!
Big Fat Fish
29-10-2003, 19:11
oh, yeah, Wood-how come your mum has all the cool cars?

Capri, Scimitar, AND a 2cv!!!

AND the old man had a Mustang, too!!!!!
Woody
29-10-2003, 20:00
dunno ?

She stole my share of cool cars though !
Bitch .. that hurt !:cry:
Big Fat Fish
29-10-2003, 20:08
Which ones?
Woody
29-10-2003, 20:19

Woody

IT'S ALIVE !!!!:D :D :D

I will deffo be there . hopefully someone can shed some light on my major overfuelling problem ;)
Koko
03-11-2003, 12:25
Hello!!!

Thats Brilliant! But as one lives another dies....so is the law of the 200!

Mine's died on me.....left her for three days and the battery is completely flat.....perhaps she was just jealous....wouldn't have minded but its a brand new battery!

Overfuelling! Tell me about....I won't be able to help....mine runs at 16mpg as standard :rolleyes:
Nicely

What are you lot like?! Is Swindon jinxed or something? :p
Jeff
03-11-2003, 12:55
I'm glad this got bumped, I had completely forgotten about it :eek: :o
Woody
03-11-2003, 15:54
:( best get that battery replaced
dystemper
04-11-2003, 08:35
that won't help Woody - well it would help in the short term best bet is to charge the battery (then find what is draining it)

I will be there!

great news Wood! now... how much do you want for that 2nd engine of yours?
Koko
04-11-2003, 11:25
Nicely, I reckon so....its a good job you got out while you still could!

Look forward to seeing your motor not smoking later Wood!
Nicely
04-11-2003, 11:27

Woody

That's a shame, it would be nice to see how well Jeff's old 'Ugly Duckling' had cleaned up :)
