its getting returned to full glt spec for this so losing the later alloys and clear indicators.

and it will probably remain like this for some time as i wont have any time to do anything on it.

however heres the reasoning behind my problems- i start university on the 22nd. and am only back the following weekend simply for the car show. otherwise glt is going sorn, under a car cover and tucked away at the back of my uncles garage.

however it will still be insured and taxed till end of november so at present time i see no reason why i shouldnt be able to make alexandria. and id really like to show off my car to everyone especially as its changed a great deal since the last voc outing- pitlochry run.

anyway all the best and fingers crossed ill be able to see you soon(ish)

Nick

It's a shame that you can not come. It would have been nice to see you, your dad and also your car. : ( We are going to this one to show of the 480's nice new paintwork and i might take some home made cakes also. Any way you must have passed your exams as you are off to uni so good luck. Are you going to study anything interesting???
Did your dad ever have any success with the thermaflow things????

yes i know, id have liked to go too. as nobody had seen my car with the 940 auriga wheels, new headlight protectors. and of course heaps of new painted bits in the engine bay

would like to see your 480

hopefully at another meet. especially now its been painted

and that'll be the second time ive missed out on your cakes!

only passed 2 out of 4 of my exams this year but i had all the qualifications i needed anyway, 6th year was just for some extras. off to study a master degree in engineering!

as far as im aware my dad hasnt sold a thermaflow as yet, however he did go to a course thing in glasgow a month or so ago. think he still wants one in this house he's renovating just now.

anyhow i shall have to try and manipulate my diary to squeeze in a meet. wont have time to put my 940 alloys on though. back to running virgos just now as have a suspected bent rear panhard rod causing the wider wheels to rub the arch! so if i am able to make a meet ill be in a very standard glt.

anyway enough of me going on! will try my best to get to the next meet

Hope your 240GLT's illness is not as terminal as it sounds and can be revived without too much financial input, it would be a shame for it to be broken for body parts, hope we see you soon.
Cheers,
kevin.

Hi Kev., weather forecast good for tomorrow. S60 polished up and shouldn't get dirty between here and Crieff. I have your heater looked out and also a light switch in case you didn't get that other one.
See you all there.

Thanks Bob, hope I'm not raiding all your spares in one fell swoop, I am bringing along some 240 bits for members as well, it is good to help each other out.
Expecting 12/13 members to turn up, but hopefull there will be more, weather forecast is good, as you have said, so here's hoping for a good day.
Hope everyone has a safe and pleasent drive to the meet.
Cheers,
Kevin.

nick_ovlov · Sep 27th, 2009, 07:41

Well I hope everyone has a good day here, I'm off with my heavily cleaned and polished/ waxed glt to a classic car show. Leaving soon

hoping to make Alexandria though! Insurance mileage on glt isn't great right now only got 60 miles left! To last till November, will have to see about increasing it

all the best and enjoy your day,
nick
