I might be interested, I will have a remap by then ;)

Possible venue: White Horse Pub just outside of Godalming. South of Surrey/north Sussex, sort of 'halfway house' for the Sussex and Surrey members?

[arbee]

i want to try and get an idea of numbers, before i drive back to odessa towards the end of this month, so i can find somewhere to suit all. ie mid way and nicely priced. :)

i can then finalise it when i'm back early oct

[tangomike24]

Sorry to jump in half way through.
I will be up for a meet between the 10th and 20th. I work a shift pattern so if you guys decide on a date and location i will try to work round it and see you there.

Looking forward to it

Chris

[thunderace]

Good to meet you all

Hope to see you again soon.

Hi Dave

Nice pics you have got there..

Thanks for the compliment on my Heico system. I'm sure it's not everyone's choice but, I love the way it looks with that system - bit more agressive looking without being Chav! I haven't seen any other R's with it on yet.

See you soon hopefully



Ian
