I wil be home then, so should be able to make at least one day - should have the turbo back on the engine by then as well :)
Ok I will be free on the sunday, so put me down for attending....
All being well I'll be there, hopefully both days.
Will be there with the car on the Sunday
Hi,
I will be there on the Sunday and possibly Monday as well.
rgds Bob
Thinking of bringing the car up for Sunday.
...can I come masquerading as a hairdresser?.....oh go on let me in..:(.....I'll hide the Porker round the corner.
If you let me in I'll be there for Sun & Mon
Steve
Myself and my brother will be driving down from Glasgow as usual for both days with the two Strats.
Although having said that....my Marlboro car is on my ramp with the wheels off, the interior is out for a rework (including dash), the wishbones are all changed and all four shocks are back at Leda for an overhaul. My good lady is convinced I just wait until the last minute to do this things for a sense of drama......
Hopefully see a load of you there.
Anyone traveling to stoneleigh on sunday morning from my area? If so we could meet up somewhere and travel together ....
Sorry Neil.......... In Barca !
At least you will be dry over there!Quote:

Two seats to put back in tomorrow morning plus the seat belts. Not quite as complete as I wanted (footwell panels, clutch foot rest and navigator footrest to do) but there's been really significant progress in the last month or so. On Gerry's stand I think!

i had said I would pick my mate up around 7-30 to 7/45.... Was thinking more of a stratos convoy, where is yours???
Looking forward to seeing the changes Guy. See you there. Steve
...uh....don't worry, I can handle rejection......:(Quote:

We're being wussies Neil as we've just arranged to delay setting off until early afternoon on Sunday to try and miss the heavy rain as the Westies haven't got roofs.
We'll be getting there about 4pm ish and camping overnight with a view to staying and having a nice sunny day on the Monday as forecast.
Have a safe trip.
Steve
Still in the garage after the last track day. The rear brakes are binding and one of the hoses in the centre of the 'V' split. I've bought the Porsche to give me time to take the engine out of the Strat to change all of the hoses and tidy up the rear frame. I've done all of the front so just the rear now. I'm also going to change the rear brake mounts from lagging to leading to help rectify the binding problem....and then I need stiffer springs etc etc etc. It'll be later in the year when it's back on the road. :( SteveQuote:

Apologies in advance if I miss the AGM guys. ( for the first time in 15 years!)
Rob
I wasn't planning on going, but now I know that Stonleigh is only about 20 miles from friends I'm visiting I shall aim to pop by Sunday pm to say hi.
I'm planning on driving my GTM, went out last weekend for the CSMA classic tour, I'll drop it off at the GTM oc and pop over for a chat.

OK everyone thanks to those who have let me know they are coming ( approx 25).
Marque is up and running kettle is on so DON'T FORGET YOUR CUPS...... Weather is brightening up after an early morning down pour so im told.
That's an early start there Mel. Are you guys going to be able to offer breakfast for those in need? (Me :D)
Car cleaned (ish) and secured to the trailer (attached to the 4x4). Tomorrow mornings plan: Wake up, get dressed, get in car and drive north. Guess I best make a note of the target postcode for the GPS otherwise there's no telling where I could end up.
After a very wet drive down to stoneleigh, it turned out to be a great day. Good to catch up with familiar faces and meet some new ones.
just to prove it wasn't raining here are a few of the cars there- unfortunately my other photos are misplaced ....
I'd just like to say here (perhaps when I should have said it there) a big thank you to all the guys (and girls) on the committee who organise the club and bring about events like today. I know I am guilty of not expressing my appreciation of peoples time and effort that they freely give up and I know I am not unique.
A way we can show and express our support for the club and what it does for us is to simply turn up at some of the events organised on our behalf by them. I know life gets in the way, and this is often unavoidable, but it really is worth getting out and meeting other members of the club face to face. At the very least it adds more depth and understanding to the exchanges on the forum but sometimes there nothing like a "heads under the bonnet" chat about something that might have been troubling you to sort things out.
So, don't think that you have to wait until your car is road legal before considering showing the rest of the club your hard work. In many respects a completed car is a done deed and perhaps more daunting to those just starting down their build, a partially completed car (on the other hand) can offer suggestions and encouragement.
Well, there's my 10p worth. Definitely worth the 280 mile round trip (through the pouring rain on the way up) with the car on the trailer to catch up with friends I haven't seen since last year.
Well Said Jeff!Quote:

Hello mates
Anyone have taken some pics of LB display ? Seems it's a crowdy pit ????
Hear, hear! I was particularly impressed with how you guys & gals managed to organise the sun coming out (and staying out) from the moment we arrived, after a very wet drive down from North Yorkshire - well done indeed!Quote:

Can I say thank you to all who sent apologies for the meeting, and for those who despite the weather attended. and hopefully enjoyed the BBQ, by which time the meeting was over sun was shining.
Alan Hayne (Skelly) will be taking over the day to day running of events from Rob (Sando)
Thanks again to Rob for stepping up to the plate last year.
Ken will still be doing the 3 main events for us again this year.
Mel will be posting up the minutes in due course, and I'm leaving the country...

Thank you again
Hi Carol,
I'd also like to add our thanks to all those involved in organising the stand for Stoneleigh. We had a great time, arriving Saturday night and leaving on Monday afternoon. Great to see the other cars, meet some other owners and good to see good quality merchandise available as well. Our two Strats both completed an 850mile round trip this weekend, started and finished with a thrash through the New Galloway Forest......brilliant!!! Makes all the hours in the garage worthwhile!!!
