Wee bumpy.

Mike (outnumbered) has been given alternative marching orders so can't make it

So the list as it stands is:

RobbieH
s70t5chris
DTP
Muhammad
Villan
Tingymagig (2 runs?)
GazT4R

Per the first post we need at least 10 cars running to get the cost quoted.

Anymore takers?

Just got off the phone with Marlin. All booked and OK'd

They're open from 8.30am so I suggest we meet from a bit earlier, with the aim to get the first car on the rollers at 9 ish.

Cars running meth injection are no problem, they've had more exotic stuff running (including budget gin apparently - cheap source of water/ethanol mix ).

I'll give them another buzz next week in case any more people want to run on top of the confirmed 10 runs at the moment. They need to know numbers as well so that some grub can be arranged as well Who's bringing the cake for afters????

Confirmed runners are:

RobbieH
s70t5chris
DTP
Muhammad
Villan
Tingymagig (2 runs)
GazT4R
BlackBeast
IC
Stedders

More are welcome but I'd need to know by next Wednesday so that Marlin know what they're dealing with prior to the day.

Voyeurs are also welcome

Great results Greg and to think most if not all the work that has been done (correctly I might add) on your T-5R has been done by enthusiasts and to a very high standard of work man ship..

Sorry I could not make it in the end but I do hope to meet up with you lot soon..

It was a good day indeed

I think we ended up with 17 cars running and some good numbers produced. A good chance to meet up and have a natter, with the usual banter thrown in as well. The guilty ones know who they were LOL.

Fun drive around MK later in afternoon as well whilst we found somewhere to eat. Volvo's can go round roundabouts pretty quick .

Tony: I have a box of suspension bits weighing down the back of the barge

Hi Tony

Your dead right there! at last i found the right people to do it!
At least i did not hand a large sum of cash to Marko though, for a change something i got away with! just wish i had never spent 11k with RT's thinking I was heading in that direction in the beginning lol

Thats it now no more tuning needed, just a zorst to fit and eventually get it resprayed then it will be restored but i am not even sure if i will do that?
Its just there to be driven now!!!!!

Cheers Greg
