Cambelt Party - 23rd Feb 08 - West Midlands

[Marks DTM Calib]

Anyone thought of the DAYS INN hotel just off the M54 junction 4? Not that far from the unit in lamledge lane, £40 a night per room (breakfast not inc in price thats extra) just a thought for some people as some may not be able to kip at the unit thats all.

Paul

£40 to go to sleep?? If i won the lottery i would'nt pay that on principal.....Might open a few though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats cheap, last time I was in Mumbai the room cost 220 quid a night and last week it was 110 quid in China!

[smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]Did that include local "Company"?
    I might be tempted then!!

[VX1]

If not there where is the best place to stay thats cheap for the night?

[Tab]

there is a few hotels and b&b's around shifnal area but you'll be paying roughly the same where ever you stay.

i know of one b&b in shifnal that charges £45 a night for a single room.
if i get chance at the weekend i'll nip down and find out some more prices.

Right, we will need to be doing at least 3 cam-belts simultaneously in order to get that little lot done in a day (should be do-able).

I would appreciate it if at least one of the ones I get to do is a 4 pot (would make a change!)

Might be worth me doing the idler arm to as I can then demonstrate the '2 hammer trick'.

I suspect other jobs could be done in parralel.........I would love to see everybody leaving with a properly set handbrake but, that might just be wishful thinking on my part.

I was getting concerned about the amount to do.  I was hoping someone could look at my coolant and smell of burning oil, but that will have to wait until another time  


As an idea, if eveyone gets there early, if MDTM/JV6CDX/Me etc show people what to do, then members strip their own cars down?  Would that speed things up a bit?  Perhaps same idea for handbrake adjust?  Would that improve things speed wise?


Bagsie I don't do the 3.2 , though wouldn't mind seein git done.

[hotel21]

Yep, probably would.  I'm happy to be hands on and strip out bagpipes, plenum, SAI etc etc .  Can be down there on the friday evening for an early start on the Saturday but that will need a rethink as to someplace to kip...
