[Elite Pete]

Pikey Wagon hitched, just got to put our clothes in and we're ready to go... Planning to leave about 03:00 or so tomorrow to miss all the traffic

Them LPG 3.0 must be slow if it takes you nearly a week to get there

[hotel21]

There's always one

[p j morgan]

yes paul but dunt it work better if you put caravan on the back instead of the front or am i being a bit forward in saying so?

pm sent, should be a nice little run up from here, furthest its been yet, i dont stray far till im sure about a car, and the bar is set very high after the last two vx land barges!
8-9 years of going wherever i wanted for a £1000 total for both cars, cant be bad! makes this one look expensive, just have to get 16 years out of it. also if anyones got a passengers door central actuator mine refuses to listen to the rest of the car.

Turned up here early doors today and the owners kindly let us invade her driveway for a kip whilst we waited for our pitch to become vacant

Been a nice enough day, not overly sunny but still in the low 20's, and looking like a good week. See you all as you arrive... The beer fridge is stocked

Thats what I like to see .  Will see you on wednesday

There is usually a bit of tinkering going on, not seen much mention this year though

I'm planning to do lots of drinking

Hopefully get the tech 2 plugged in to check on things since EA meet and might, and I mean might, re-map the LPG if I can convince Kevin Wood to jump in the passenger seat for me, or someone else to drive so I can fiddle with the Laptop

I don't mind driving if i can get my alcohol limit down before hand

[johnnycboy]

If Tech 2 is available could do wit a little magic work on the new addition, namely cruise enabled, gearbox, and a bit of jiggery pokery with the display and radio.  TIA.

[3.2 manual]

mine could do with cruise sorting, seems this is the most popular upgrade, i cant believe the computer doesnt 'see' the switches and work it out, but then vx couldnt charge it as an optional extra! gotta work sunday so only one night for me, airbed in the boot, sorted a metal tent

Most cars need it to be enabled to be honest. From memory, it was something like a £300 factory upgrade. Seems a bit steep when you could buy the car, then immediately go to parts department, slap down £30 for the stalk, then book it in to be enabled (£85 round this way to get cruise enabled at dealers)

[Jimbob]

maybe the price just stuck from prefacelift where you had the separate control box  :-/

probably, though early ones were £400 iirc

OUCH!

Right, quiz fully uploaded, ready to go. Pictures and answer sheets printed off and put into packs.

Tunnie helped me get the camping gear down from in the loft of garage, car washed (by me, and got a few streaks  ).

Just need to sort out the packing and making a list of what I need to bring
