Gareth - when I organised the first meetup I gave you some golden rules.

One rule was YOU pick the date and if people cant make it - tough luck.

If you take any notice of people who cant make a certain date we will go round in circles forever.

Vertigo1 - a poll would be a complete waste of time. They never work, they just cause more problems than they solve.

hehe

sorry for lack of postage... the missus wanted to spend some 'quality time' with me as im off this week for my racing scholarship tomorrow, so i havnt called them yet, i will call them this avo, and just say it will be on date X

Conanius · 29 Jun 2005 at 12:39

Ok...

just spoken to the guys at powerstation :-

They have got bookings all over the place at the moment, and have suggested either the 27th of August or the 3rd of September (yes I know, quite a way away) however...

27th August is the Redding Fest, and im not sure how many of you lot are wanting to go to that?
3rd of September is fine for me, but not sure about any of you last minute holiday makers

Other information is that the runs now cost 30 quid inc vat opposed to 25 quid (thank the lord, no more trying to blag 5vers off people to give change !) and apparently the graphs are more detailed now (not quite sure how, but ill try and get an example graph or something, as im pretty sure they prefer you to book these in person, and its an excuse to get us some piccies

)

So..... Im personally feeling that the 3rd of september is the best option, but im happy to go for the 27th of August. as usual, 15 runners minimum...

so... basically.. if we dont have many/any going to Redding, ill book it for that date when I get back on friday, and if not... then ill book it for the september date !

so please... opinions?

Worthy said:
I'll be there if it's the 3rd Sept, promise.

riteo... as you've said that.. its the 3rd.

ill call and book on friday still (so i can confirm we will have 15 runners, but it doesnt look like it will be a problem so far)

I'm hoping for 2bhp. Will require a decent cold air feed and a can of Redbull for the best performance though.

if things go how they have in the past, every car will produce bang on what it should... bar merlins which will be at least 40 bhp down on anywhere else

Obviously I'll try to be there but I'm possibly gonna be going away again at the beginning of Sept. Nothing is finalised yet but I'll let you know as soon as it is.

That weekend should be free for me, and it gives me some time to sort the cobra. only thing that would sway me not bringing it, it the chancees of rain
If it rains, the Jeep will make another appearance, and show your ford how to do the hill mate

sounds good to me mate

as for 'the hill'

we shall be approaching it from a slightly different direction this time.... what i plan to do is drag stoom along with me when i go to book @ powerstation and video the route to powerstation from the motorway @ tewkesbury ... and then from powerstation to the hungry horse... that way people can see what the route is

.... its really easy tho

Conanius · 1 Jul 2005 at 14:26

Riteo

This is all booked now, Saturday September 3rd, 2005

(woohoo i get to be deaf again)

Conanius · 1 Jul 2005 at 14:33

merlin said:
Excellent.

I'll beat Beany this time for the noise. Absolutely guaranteed.

mmm....

ive got an idea

anyone got one of those decibel meters?

I can see Merlin, Worthy, Simon, and Beany having a noise contest

Conanius · 1 Jul 2005 at 15:10

FakeSnake said:
haha, I shall be there, and at 111dB I will be up there in the noise stakes

I may be able to get hold of a dB meter for the day

well, if you could bring one mate, ill grab you your drinks for the day, deal?

Obviously I'm now out unless I somehow get the Rex rebuilt by september (unlikely).

Or I could run the Toyota Estima

Siliconslave said:

Conanius · 1 Jul 2005 at 19:25

Worthy said:
I'll come! *sniggers*

i saw you had posted and thought 'dam, should have said 'and worthy to say he'd come, but the day before find out he had to fly out to iraq/clip his toe nails/scratch his beard'

Miaowwwwww
it WILL be finished one day mark my words just not with the bits Ive bought

any chance of before sept?

Conanius · 1 Jul 2005 at 19:41

DreXeL said:
I may still come along actually, you can all fear the power of the 2.2TD Auto Estima. It's an absolute beast.

is the rebuild really that much of a pain mate?

your not that far from me, so potentially dependant on car (as in if ive got a pro one I will) ill give you a lift if needed
