Hope to see all the local North Bucks/South Northants/Beds members there, as well as some from a little further afield :y


As said on another thread, Tech2 will be there for free checks, although can't be doing any programming stuff due to time constraints.

Mine will be turning up in that grimey black colour, not its usual gleaming silver  :-[

And because the windows have been open, a good layer of dust has formed inside, its embarrassing  :-[

I forgot my camera, so I used my stupid gayPhone just to get some pics that I could upload when we were there.  But the phone signal was a bit naff (what is it with WIM centres!!) so only managed 2.

Might take them off and upload, but they aren't greta quality.


Obviously, being the cripple that I currently am, I can't physically do it for you, but I can show you how to do those springs if you want to pop over.  Trouble is, my availability for the next month is difficult.

Thanks to member who attended and those who had the best intentions to attend.... Weather was was piss poor so i was surprised to see anyone!

Turned out to be a great meet, the Ferrari sent by Ferrari UK got a good hammering as did one of the Xbows, court proceedings pending.

We measured a few Omega's as said and historic issues were found so be wise peeps!!!

Nuff said, thanks for being there and good for you who won a raffle or two....

To be continued
Dunlop wants to use the centre as a UK showcase and another open day...... I wonder what i can pull off from this for the club?

Watch this space.

One of the Ferrari runs was quite well timed as just as it had returned to the yard a Police Insignia went past.  :y ;D I'm sure the Ferrari wasn't speeding though.  ;)

Was good to catch up with the OOF guys and have a natter.  :y

WIM:
Even though my car didn't need to go up, thanks for the demo and for the hospitality of you and the staff.  :y

TB, that's really kind. As said I will do all the work, just if you wouldn't mind supervising. I'll pay for your time of course. Just let me know when you're free over the next couple of months  :y

I'll get the pics uploaded tonight...

just finished my mates' mercedes c-class sports coupe service. All went well but what a palarver with the bottom of the car having a crappy plastic cover on. first i took the cover off to the gear box.... then the cover for the nose and then finally got to it  ::)

also what a crock of shit it is to check her oil level. no dipstick. leave car running for 5 mins and then check on computer. would have took 10 seconds with a dipstick.

anyways thanks to all at WIM. Had a really good look at the kit you have and ill be in touch to book the alignment. whilst its on the hydraulic lifts, i dont suppose you'd let me do an ATF change would you?  just so much easier than crawling about under the car like a retarded snake :)
