Depends on whether you have a decent satnav, or if you one of those gay, stupid, pathetic gonks stuck on the windscreen ;)

That does, of course, depend on the Old Bag sat in the co-driver's seat having half a clue on how to read a map ;D
Joking aside, we used to argue in the car over her (incredibly poor) map reading skills. Got a gay PDA based nat setup about 8 or 9 years ago, no more arguing (with her, I still argue with 'Bird', the stupid bloody satnav)

I think Jan (ex missus) might want cam belt doing. She hasn't had it done since she's had the car and doesn't know when it was last done! ::)

Couple of little jobs need doing....... :y

I already am :-[
Quiet drink with my best mate last night. I'd walked there (the long way - about 2m), built up a good thirst, and it all got messy from there on....
-
If I take the Elite, nothing needs doing (that can be done there).
If I take the MV6 (likely), could probably do with a spot of calibrating and firmware update.
Either way, she'll have the car most of the time anyway I suspect...

I know I was bad - ended up in the Diner in town (few doors down from Tiffins), where they only sell Budweiser. I vaguely recall saying that it wasn't a bad drink. So I must have been a little tipsy by then :-[
That said, I think its the burger that has caused a certain amount of offensiveness this morning, and nothing I drank ::)

If that's the case, I can manage that :y :y I'll find a time when it's available and Chris and I will see if we can get the EML on get it Calibrated :y :y

This is the Silver Bullet. as long as its allowed to warm up and cool down before/after a spirited ride, it can take any abuse thrown at it ;)
Reason I'm taking it is because I have more faith in it than I do in TBE, which decided to have a spot of misfiring again the other day. I have a theory, and it will involve my plugging the lappy into the Stag kit...

Might be worth the ladies arranging the "Social" visit we're supposed to be having and we can just do some simple car stuff and drink beer :y :y

Nowt major mechanical needed on mine but would like to get towards the bottom of how one rear exhaust pipe is a darn sight blacker than the other and get a good heads up that the fuelling is spot on with both banks.... ;) :y
-
Mine is playing up (again) and I`m away from collie-towers working this week; so wont get a chance to get it reliable for travel to the meet. :'(

Anyone coming to the Lakes that has a spare passenger door solenoid? mine seems to have stopped working, unless it could be something else... :-/ :-/ Button is free enough... ::)
-

Yep. Do I needs to bring something to jack on? I hear theres no hard standing? At all?

Yeh, going to need a short plank or similar I think.
What tools do I need to bring?
Also need to change the Aux belt on the DTi but I remember struggling to release the tension on the last one I did. Perhaps Mr DTM can show me where i'm going wrong!

I think it`s the crank sensor finally packing in; the stalling/poor-idle went away for a while, but now it`s back with a vengeance!.......so I`m stuck using the dipsomaniacal diesel-Disco for 'the duration'. :'(

Lemforders are a tighter fit, so need some washing up liquid to get them in. Febi will go in with a bit of spit.

Chris... Do you want me to bring my Snap On Impact gun along? (for an additional one)
-
Chris... Do you want me to bring my Snap On Impact gun along? (for an additional one)
Up to you. I have my baby hitachi one which does the job well enough. ( I replaced mine with Febi 's on Thursday) two is always better than one, if you have room.
But I really want to use my one, I love it. :y. ;D

I'll bring all my tools/axle stands/pair of ramps plus might be able to rustle up some 3/4 inch chipboard for standing on/firewood. Also a large box of tea bags, jar of coffee and plenty of sugar, plus beer of some sort. :y
Only jobs I need to do are get the car idling properly, have a close look at LD's lpg setup and relax.
More than happy to helpout with other jobs/general car tinkering/drinking as required. Might draw the line at gearbox changes, though ;D, but not one to say 'no' to a challenge...
:y
-
Ah yes, can we have fires or are there chimneas there?
If so I may bring some wood.
-
Last year was just the bbq iirc.
-
Not been there before (personally) but the site at Newent is an exception to the rule, IME, allowing fires/chimneas
-
No there was none there last year. Newent as we know provide them :y

Quiz for Saturday is done, at last. Mind you, I had a gander through it and thought it might be a shade hard. Still, there is plenty of people in each team ::).
I may give a clue as to the theme (for the first 5 questions)... ...then again, I might not :P
If I have time, for those that are there Friday afternoon (say 4/5ish), is there a demand for a mini family quiz. Just 2 team, as an ice-breaker. If so, the theme for that would kids entertainment (current, and when we were kids)?
-
Won't that be biased in Pinky's favour? ;D ;D

Some wood... Is this going to be some sort industrial strength understatement Mark?
After Newent I have visions of Smelting, forging engine blocks, large craters and scorch marks in the ground, and the fire brigade to keep the women happy at about 2am...? :). ;D

No need to wish you all a cracking meet as i know you'll have one, sadly i'll be in Sussex & won't be attending many if any classic meets this year either.
I'll make up for it though soon as i can & Jaime cheats @ the quizzes...we would've won the last one, don't believe me?...ask Laura! ;D

No doubt we'll find some mischief to get into on Friday while they go exploring. ;D

Mrs TB needs to be at work on Thurs (as do I, too much to do before my long weekend), so it could never work out :(
