Re: Meet to celabrate! :-) (East Midlands meet, 21st of Feb)
yep. went in perfectly. couldn't be bothered to take the front shelf effort out in the dark, so the tailgate wouldn't quite close, but still...
My word the car-a-van's heavy!
Ooooh, take a decent jack with you next time you use it. Needs jacking up and the jackey wheel lowering in the retaining clamp. If that makes no sense, ask me on Sunday. Just flagging it up while I think about it...

I should be coming. Although I can't guarantee I'll be on time. If I'm not there by 4, assume I've broken down or crashed or something!Brunty wrote:Aiming to attend meet at 3pm. Hopefully others will make it.

had a merry time shifting bricks.
Just got round the corner from the diner and the carb started doing funny things. coaxed it along to Jay's house, but wouldn't develop any power under load. Towed i up to my folk's house at woodville. Investigations tomorrow. I'll be going straight for that needle valve!
