It was great to put faces to names yesterday, and thanks to Matt for organising the day, and to all the cooks and bottle washers. Unfortunately I left without donating for the catering, so can I forward something to whoever provided all the tea/coffee etc?

The meet seemed to me to epitomise - whether you like the name or not - 'The Big Society'. :y :y :y

Errm... Well... Not entirely sure any cameras saw much action, although Guffer did seem to be taking a few snaps on his phone

Any piccy's, Ms Zoom?  Might be good to get a reference point before the curry and ale takes its toll.....   ;D

Glad you managed to make it.  Its always worth the chance to match names/faces/real life personalities.   ;)


I wasn't taking any, but a camera was flashing away so they must be on their way! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Any chance of a photograph or two to remind those of us in less than charitable parts of the Kingdom that there is, after all, some form of civilised activity taking place somewhere? :-* :-*  :y

The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

P6UL K has had an issue on the way home though. Bit if a rattle by the sound of it. Hopefully Aux pulleys related.  :-/

I just wish i heard the 'knock-knock-knock-knock' before i'd got to Clacket Lane services :-/

Had a look with the torch and one bolt was hanging out of the water pump pulley and one the head had completely disappeared!!  Now i know what the assumption is  ::) But i torqued everything as per the Haynes manual that Chris left me.

Anyway, i'm off out there now to inspect further.....

I have posted a few on photobucket, but, despite reading the guide at least ten times, I am still none the wiser as to how to upload them onto this site. :'( :'( :'(

In photobucket, selected the picture you want to display by selecting them, then click the link that says 'generate HTML codes' or something similar to that, then in the box that says 'IMG codes for BB's or Bulletin Boards' Copy all the codes using CTRL+ C or i think it does it automatically then paste them (CTRL + V) into the thread on here.

Simples.  ;D

I can sympathise with that after having a new cambelt kit fail after 2 miles wiping out the heads.

Had you loctitied the bolts?

There is a box called HTML link, but when I click on it, it just says 'copied', and no sign of the above quoted link anywhere.
