I'm in Tony, but will probably fall asleep in the bar as I will of just come off holiday the day before ;D
-
Be along too :y
-
Sounds good :y and will "probably" make it, not 100% certain yet.
The big question will be, do I bring recently acquired MV6 Est or 2.5 Elite Est with a few issues that I still want to sell ?
-
Bring them both...put wifey in one :y Both mine will be there hopefully
Seriously...if you have issues that can be fixed on site...I am sure some of the issues will get sorted.

Surely you're not going to wash it ;D
-
I intend to pop down! :y
-

-
Someone has started parking an Omega about a couple of hundred yards away from the Centre. Dare I put a note on his screen ???????????
(Sadly, Paul L won't be with us, and Lazy D is unfit) Reckon we may make twenty....remember I have two ;D
Yes I know...Ken has more, but he can only bring one ;)
-
Err! someone mention my name? :P
-
I think it was a case they were talking about you ken....not too you ;D:y
-
:y count me in too.
Dare I say I'll bring all my kit and do a wash/polish demo if you like ;) - depending on the weather obviously. I'll offer my own to demo on - or if there is a likely candidate that would be prepared to sacrifice volunteer their paintwork - I'll see what I can do :o.
Maybe someone could try and fix my airbag lamp ::) ::)
look forward to it Tony..

I am doing a triathlon in Shropshire on the 18th so I may drop in on my way up. I have to get there for pre-registration and to get settled before the race but I hope to at least pop my head in and say hi :y

Hi Rog,
No special treatment as such. At an earlier meet at H/W I gave a demo on basic 'how to' car washing techniques with a bit of jargon busting and myth dispelling for any who had wondered what it was all about. Because of the weather it was a bit limited as we only managed to do part of a wing with the cleaners and polish.
I'd be happy to do the same again for anyone who missed it and is interested - I'm not a professional detailer - more of a very serious amateur that likes to spread the word :D on getting and keeping that deep shine. No special tricks or allegiance to any one product - technique is 70% of the result I reckon :y
Cheers
Ian.

Not sure filler would work, probably need to weld some plates in first....

I may make an appearance but it might not be in an Omega (still have mine so don't worry)
GM though so thats cool ;)
-
Glad to see the official OOF photographer is coming :y If it rains, Ian...it must be your demo's putting on the hex ;D Another demo of the headlight clean would be good (you did mine last time, but remember I have two cars) ;D
Be good to meet Guffer and Blackbird :y And James if you can make it :y
Meet looks like being another biggy....come on folks...we got to beat 23 !!!!!
My niece will probably be in the Main Hall, with her musical lot practicing for the evening function, so you may get some head banging rock music!!!! coming over too ;D
-

We're ( SWMBO & I) are booked in the place below, some others are also, the exact plan ? I don't know. I had in my head all bump into each other in bar, and then eat & drink. But I agree a firmer arrangement could be a good idea. For a start I could probably only recognise Terbert ::)
Premier Inn, High Wycombe / Beaconsfield
Thanstead Farm, London Rd
Loudwater
High Wycombe
Buckinghamshire

Some time ago they had rooms for £35, but this has jumped up quite abit now.

Ah...you coming too on Friday, then Ken :y
I am in Swindon all this coming week, but will be back sometime on Friday in time for a meet up. I know Rog, Al and wives are staying, but don't know what times they will be arriving. Don't know who else is staying there.
My access to a computer will be limited, but will try to keep up with the arrangements. Once details are known of how many and when, then I can book a table. :y
So far it looks like eight attendees.
Friday night is the fish and chip night, so if we can suss details before this Monday, I can get in early with a booking :y
You will remember us Rog......you will know nitro (Ken) and Carole, Al is tall, you can't miss him, and you will remember me, short, but really good looking, with a beer belly ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Would'nt want to miss it Tony,I've had to cancel dinner with David Cameron and Barack Obama that night but I told them get an Omega and there's a plate of fish and chips with your name on it,have'nt heard back yet ::)

Unfortunately I won't be able to make it as I will be rattling my tin outside the local Morrisons for my Ironman charity.
Sorry :(
-
I wont be making the "pre-meet" as I will be knackered after driving back from holiday on Friday, but still 99% sure ill be at the "day-meet" , providing trusty ol' Katie is fine ;D , and I might be bringing a non member, potential buyer along with me so he can see what all the fuss is about ::) .
Will there be a TechII on the day, does anyone know?
-
If nowt else occurs i might make the journey, lets hope swmbo dosnt find me any more diy housseee jobs :)
Just remind her on the Friday that it's not called a never-ending list for nothing :y then you might as well pop over on the Saturday, if only for a chance to talk to people, as staying at home will be very quiet ::)

I will PM The Alarming Man just to make sure he's not going to be there Friday

Well done Al :y
I am off to Swindon today for five days, so unless I can get use of a computer, I shall not be aware of the situation. I have seen reserved on tables....and I am pretty sure Chris booked a table about a month ago, when my cousins came to stay. 8-8.15 sounds good :y

Once more, terbert, our intrepid adventurer, pushes the limits of human endurance :o challenges the elements, faces insurmountable boundaries and unimaginable dangers, pressing forward with complete disregard to his own safety to . . . Swindon. ::)
Best of luck Tony, we all hope you make it back in one piece ;) :y

Thunderstorms forecast tomorrow :o :o :o - shall I bring the gazebo again ???
-
Can't hurt ianu.
Might bring my dodgy elite drivers seat along for some indoor soldering, if the weather turns. :-\
-
Bringing my wiring bits and bobs along as well :y
-
No probs fella....but we have to vacate around six or so at the latest, as there is a big function on tonight using all facilities :y
-

Bring a soldering iron as well then ;D
-
Mr Gixer, on the offchance the weather is dry (hope it is, I need to try and erect this tent before Newent, make sure its complete and in one piece), can you bring some pry bars and some grease... ...I have a front end knock I think, but its cleverly masked by what I think is a poly squeak ;D
-
Yep.
Can we work under the event shelter if it rains? Might mean packing it wet through? :-\
-
Heading off now, see you soon :)
Not gonna be in an Omega (still GM) but hope you like it all the same ;)
-
Pre flight done. Chocks away

Thanks again Tony and Chris for a splendid venue today - much appreciated. Unfortunately it seems that my intentions to demo car cleaning seems to attract the rain :-[ :-[- so again we only achieved the drivers side wing on Al's car - but the bar has been set and I shall be checking for updates and scheduling periodic inspections to see how it's coming along Al :P :y
Great to meet some more new faces again and another variety of models on the showground :) including the Bentley, Chevy and M3 - although maybe it was the presence of the two convertibles that brought on the rain :-X.
I think the live guitar performance by Al in the car park was a meet 1st and very impressive it was too - again the bar has been set ;) ;) ;) (no I can't play the guitar)
All finished with a rather nice curry :y
Look forward to the pictures that anyone else managed to take - I'm not quite so sure about the video now ??? :D
Cheers
Ian.

Another cracking afternoon well spent :y
-
Thanks to Tony & Chris for another splendid & well organised meet & of course Friday nights pre meet get together ;)
Thanks to Ianu for giving me the very educating course in car finish cleaning :y
Ian I have suggested to SWMBO that she sits in front of that offside wing now to apply her make up !
It shines like "a shilling up a sweeps ar*e" now . . .brilliant. I have to find the time now to do the rest of the car ;) ;)
Nice to meet a couple of new faces & see all the old ones again
Not too sure how the work on TB's car went . . . some progress I hope :-\
Lastly . . the "Shadows" guitar playing demo seemed well received . . a good testing ground for my new totally portable "mains
free" set up that I have put together . :y
Thanks all . . .a great day :y
Edit: almost forgot . . .thanks Nitro for the replacement chrome tyre valve caps :y :y

Appologies I intended paying more attention to your engine, but the "dip stick" took all our attention. :( we only just hot it back together in time.
Pontiac v8, that much I got...? :)
-
Thanks again for the day, brilliant as always. Live music, cars, a bar, food. What more could we ask for?
...apart from a bit of sun. Bloody weather nearly ruined the work in the car park. Just got away with it.
But as said later on in the day, I think it's almost a better day if it does rain, as its more social when everyones in the bar. :)
-
very nice day was had,nice to put faces to names, must have been the most omega's ive seen in the same place. 8)
well done mr tarbet. :y
-
I'm embarrassed to say I didn't get to chat properly to many people, as the "simple" job of removing the dipstick to replace the o-rings on the bottom of it turned into a 5hr saga. I mean, how long should it take 3 grown men to remove a diptstick >:(
So apologies if I was too busy :-[
However, it was a first for me, I don't think I've ever been under a bonnet listening to a live performance of The Shadows :y

We would like to thank Chris and Tony for their hospitality which was much apreciated,I think that the sight of Josh and Ian dancing in the car park to Big Al playing the Shadows was epic,I'm still getting flash backs....but I'm booked for therapy first thing tomorrow morning :o
-
Nice to see everyone yesterday and thanks to Tony and Chris for their hospitality :y Loved the live performance in the car park :y

In our defence we didn't actually remove it ::)
Oh hang on a minute... that doesn't really amount to a defence ;D
It looks better in the revised location though :y

and to add my thanks too. Many thanks to Tony & Chris for another great meet and entertainment too, the guitar playing was brilliant :y and nice to see a couple more new faces.
I would also like to see some more 4pot owners turn up to these southern meets we have, as I was the only one there again :'(
All in all, another great day though :y

;D may have to remove the word again ;D , yes I forgot about that, there were 3 or 4 I think that came to the last Wycombe meet, so I do apologise ;)
But in general, it would be nice to see more 4pots as there are more 4pots than v6's on the road now ::)
-
I also believe was there not a 4 pot with a garden growing under the bonnet??? ;D
