May I propose a small local Bournemouth/Poole meeting somewhere on the border soon, say at the Mountbatton Arms, Wallisdown or something? next week?
Maybe a swift half?

All in favour, say I

Mate, I hope you don't think I am treading on your toes, this was more of a local meet for local people.... :)
No really, anybody is invited, I realise it's short notice, but the main reason I am organising this is that there are a few members on this board that live very close to each other in Poole/Bournemoth and most of us have never met. - Just an off the cuf, spure of the moment type thing, and I fancied a beer :)
I will see you in Sailsbury though :) - My Brother lives in Chippenham, so I suspect I will go and visit him and bring him with me.

Hi mike,
Feel free to drop on down on Sunday - most of us are meeting for the first time, so don't be shy!
BTW - car looks very nice indeed!... :)

[MattB]

Mind you it'll probably p*ss down before sunday...I'm hoping it does, so that I have an excuse not to clean it! :saythat:

[Adge]

Would have liked to be there. Good idea and relatively local!
Car in having air con looked at. On-going saga.

[dreadly]

Is it doing the old 5min cycle thing, or is it just leaking like a sieve

[Adge]

Loses gas. They replaced inleet valve and said that was it. Lost gas over next 2-3 weeks. Still trying to locate leak. Could be dreaded evaporator!

[arbee]

How'd it go lads? Any pics?
Warren I will give you a ring tomorrow I promise! - been away at the weekend and forgot to take your number!

[dreadly]

Meet went really well, we all stayed sober and had a pretty good chat.

I saw some interesting cars, a nice Porsche brake conversion and some photo's will follow, I am off for two weeks tommorow though, so probably will not see them for a while.

We did a little comparing of RICA'd cars and None RICA'd cars with some supprisingly interesting results, and I showed the other chaps the pro's and con's of Geartronic.

Thanks Guys, chat later.

BTW :- Anybody know what size the standard turbo is on a 2003 S60 T5, I think it's a 16T, is this correct?

[MIKESC70T5]

A fun evening was had by all. How are everyones brakes doing?

[volvolised]

Hey B'mouth meet guys, Yeah was great to meet you all very interesting conclusion to the evening , very impressed with andy's S60, a very smooth quick motor and also just as impressed with adrians V70 ( your'e both nutters, can still smell brakes boiling now):B_steerin. all in all, think all the motors were tops snd had a fun evening :Handshake cheers warren. (no worries arbee will catch up when you can)

[S70T5Chris]

Nice to meet you all, had a great evening. It was nice to run all the cars, and see how they all compared. Impressed with the S60, and well impressed with Adrian's "stock" V70 (That thing flew!)!

Look forward to doing it again soon.

Chris.

PS. Showed a dude in an '06 530 what a real car goes like, on the way home! Don't think he was very happy!!!

[Andrew]

User names, as promised....

[arbee]

great stuff :) cheeese!

just noticed the reg plates were obscred on the second but not the first - the 850 T5 plate - is that the proper plate or is it for show? I'm assuming if it is the assigned plate it starts B5... what a great plate!

[MIKESC70T5]

The plate belongs to "volvolised" and should be B5 OST. He said it's been on there for about 3 years with no problems from the plod. It's for sale aswell if you are interested.

Mike.

[volvolised]

Hey mike thanks for posting pics, glad you had a great night aswell, a first meet for you and most of us too but think it was fun for all :mischievo . Very much look forward to a run in your car it is a belter, will pop in sometime soon. ps B5 OTS pps thanks mattb for adding names
