MOTORS MEET @MIDWAY Sunday 9th march

Kaiser D

I've got a Brian James that takes 3 spaces diagonally on its own, before the Rexton.

We should make a competition from this...

Nah, just park across 3 parking spaces and you'll blend right in with DGT and Cleveland.

This man knows his stuff :cool:

Cleveland Hot Pocket wrote: »

That's the one reason I want to bring the truck - I might tow the datsun behind the truck and try to beat DGT's record of 8 spaces hogged!

My record is 12 spaces and a set of double yellow lines in the Daily van and 14ft Ifor Williams. Should have put the skids out for extra arsehole points :cool:

My challenge is to park like a dick with my horse :pac:

Set up a stables across the entire disabled parking area.

Looks like I may bring the 6 shooter, cowboy hat and Americas greatest hits with me too :P

Cleveland Hot Pocket

Looks like I'm leaving there, but I went in for coffee and left the truck parked like that...

Or maybe...

The GMC is in deep debate with the bmw on whether to drive over the honda...

Moneymaker

Not sure if pickup or aircraft carrier...

Looking forward to seeing it.

I'm heading over to Dublin at short notice and could, maybe, attend one of these for the first time. Given my stable of 20 cylinders, I'd only attend if I could guarantee I'd have the fastest car. Anyone outrace a Sixt rentacar?

Don't suppose anyone that's coming has VCDS and wants to bring it along? :pac:

My cable doesn't support canbus cars unfortunately. Only pre-2004 stuff. Otherwise I would.

Dare I ask how many are functional and related power output.:D

I suspect I'll end up with a Fluence which would impact my flow!

ian87

I may have to bow out of this yet. Unexpected plans made upon my behalf.

Puts my 26 to shame........:o

I'm working on it though, few other possibilities in the pipeline in a few months.
I want some sort of 4*4, some sort of pre 84 american van (so like a dodge dayvan) and a v10 or v12 luxobarge. Ideally also a big block american v8 (like a 455ci/7.5l lincoln)

Some of those are long term targets, some not so!

Supergurrier

A paltry 9 here.

The shame

maceocc2

Is this you DGT?

pred racer

I got a call from work today, "would you mind not working Sunday?"
Ooohhhh ok then:D
So I will be able to make it. I won't be there till about 2:30 I have to leave the ankle biters back to that yoke I married my ex.

Meet or closet? :pac:

Sobanek

Right lads, I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it or not - just got a flat tyre in Newbridge I'll go down to the tyre depo tomorrow to see if they have any 235/35/R18s in stock... If they don't I'm out as I'm not insured on the Volvo anymore

And not sure yet if it's not something more serious - amber parking brake light and DSC lights on all the time.

That would be the flat or dodgy sized spare;)

Sounds like a wheel speed sensor problem man, try cleaning them as they are a touch on the expensive side if needed.

Drove the last 0.5 mile down on a flat at 20mph... They came on after I noticed the steering wheel was starting to vibrate and upon further investigation turned out to be a flat...

Let's hope that is it.

Probably was noticing the difference in rolling circumference and thought the sensor was reading incorrectly Sobanek. I'd say your Ok

I have 2 brembo calipers, one careful owner (and me)

Foxhole Norman

Anyone else heading up from Cork in the morning?

Dord

Ok... car cleaned.

If the detailing forum saw what I did, they'd probably fall over. :P

Me too, 2 or 3 hours and my back is in bits, there was some dirt backed into the alloys I noticed after I cleaned them, to hell with it. I will try do them in the morning...**** I better wipe down the interior too before it gets dark.

Mycroft H

Jaysus lads. Most I ever go to is a sponge and shampoo. Fair play to ye for having the patience.

Kaiser D

Rexton is going down for a car wash in a bit. Need to be presentable for my first visit!

Moneymaker

Car has been waxed and cleaned.

Old man is begging me to let him drive it down.

His birthday is in a few weeks so maybe i'll throw him a bone. :pac:

dgt

Even my own car is clean..... :eek:

I convinced my aul lad to get one of these over the christmas. He couldn't believe the price of them. He thought they'd cost around 4/5 grand. He just determined to drive every car he owns into the ground before getting a new one. He's had the laguna 8 feckin years. I might service it with grinding paste this summer :pac:.

My dad has a rule, never spend more then 3k on a car :pac:

You'll enjoy hearing his car history tomorrow.

Fwiw I agree with his philosophy, spending 20-30k on a new car just seems pointless to me.
