You were missed. I commented a couple of times that it was a real shame the Rex was off the road

aye, you and a few other regulars really should have been there....

I have already started to plan the next one, spoke to a few people and probably looking at June next year, gives everyone a chance for some mods that way

How did eveyone find the pub food btw?

The barman bought ours to the table, didn't realise it was a buffet

Mind you he got a bit arsey when Bear asked for a fork lol, maybe he mis-heard.

Vertigo just followed my grey smoke clouds I think

That thing was chucking out a fair bit of oil smoke.

Dave, you've totally confused me now. From the texts I presumed you two had found some pub round by Powerstation and just decided to stay there, but you actually went to the Hungry Horse? You must have left before we all arrived.

Was it grey/black or blue? I thought it was grey.

If so it's due the engine map I'm running which overfuels like mad when the boost kicks in.

What was the earth wire you connected again Si?

Don't recall to be honest, could well have been grey. I'm guessing it was burnt oil more from the smell than the colour tbh, but then what do I know, I'm a total car n00b

Could well have been the overfuelling.

That was for the DTA Ecu. The earth wire came from the loom I made which allows the DTA to plug straight into the Rover loom and use all the sensors and wiring. The earth wire was the main ground for the DTA.

Only takes a few minutes to go from the standard Ecu to DTA now, rather than making a full loom and having to swap the entire thing over. Ideal if I ever have problems with the DTA as i can then plug the standard ecu in to get me home

Anyone know what language that is so I can run it through Babelfish? :confused:

do you all call each other by forum names at these meets or is it a first name learning day?

nicRob · 3 Sep 2005 at 21:09

First name unless you dont know or cant remember it... in which case it's forum name

Firestar_3x · 3 Sep 2005 at 21:09

Bit of both ppl i know i will call by name, those who i don't or just forgot i say OI or hey <Insert Forum Name>

I Find it most effective.

No group pic lads

L0rdMike · 3 Sep 2005 at 21:11

I keep calling people by forum name even when I know the persons real name by mistake.

Siliconslave · 3 Sep 2005 at 21:17

damn it, that was a pain getting home

got stuff in some stupidly large traffic jam on the m4 for going on 3 hrs, they'd closed off the whole road for most of it

then open up one lane once they'd moved the remains of one car, and annother upside down one over.

generally not a good day for driving it seems

On the upside it was a damn good day, nice to meet everyone and find out my stock cars at stock power

Cheers as ever for the organisation, and the people who managed to make it along and make the day!

I can remember a couple of names from the few people I spoke to, but I just stick to "mate"

I have a photo of a small group together around Will's Fiesta... not great tho

Conanius · 3 Sep 2005 at 21:22

i guess the easy way to identify me at a meet is to look for the person panicing running round trying to sort things out...
