Sorry all I've had a lot on my plate.

I'd say let's do the car show as it is outside and while the weather is still relatively dry and warm let's make the most of it.

There is a Lidl in Kingswinford about 5-10 mins from the venue so I propose we meet there at 9:30 as the show begins at 10 then drive on over at 10 as a convoy. That way people can buy lunch too if they haven't brought any.

It has changed once and is now set in stone.

Can I have a show of numbers for who is attending please? If it is just me and Kev going then we can carry on stripping down the diesel parts car instead.

A free classic car show, we could all meet somewhere else before hand and drive in convoy to the show, does this sound more appealing to those planning on attending?

Sunday is better for me. Himley Hall is on my doorstep. And a classic car show thrown in as well. That's three ticks for me! But I'd have been equally happy to go to Ironbridge as I said a beforehand.

I'd also be up for Gaydon next time as it's only 1 hour from me. I've been to a couple of organised formal Volvo events there over the years.

I hope to have the Valdez in an operational state; if Saturday is dry then I'll be doing the front disc backing plates.
Otherwise I'll be coming along in the daily driver. Either way, it'll be "pay-on-the-day" for me.

Himley Hall has the Hall so it ticks that box as well.....

I'll have an OBD code reader with me tomorrow if anyone is interested in it.
