You gotta come....

Seems I'll be showing off my new beast. Although I won't have time to do anything to her between picking her up and the meeting and she needs a number of things fixed.

I'll also trying to be getting a mate to come and drive my old one to the meet too.

I've decided to leave Olive at home. Flat battery cos I left the radio on, no jump leads and no time to charge the battery this morning. So I'll be bringing the new girl instead. I'm also bringing a mate who is looking for a C70 T5 Convertable and wants to come and see some of the C70 Coupe examples.

Ended up taking her - probably her last club event for the moment, at least with me - she needs a bloody good wash - she wasn't on her best form today.

Glad to see old friends and meet new ones. Supprised a couple of the Essex/East Anglia lads I expected to meet/see where not there... bad show guys.

Right who's organising number 3 ?

Andrew.

Great day all round - cars, food, company and advice.

There's a dyno near to Basildon brentwood area.Bracer used to use it but normally that would have to be held on a Saturday,which might be a problem for some peeps with work and partners.
Great day out weather was nice and fine, nice to meet everyone,
The guy with the red T5 give us a shout and we can sort your suspension and brakes out, i am free most days,


Gary,

PS Cheers Engineer for organising this event, and a what a nice car you have.

Cheers Gaz, can I have your lamps? Will send you info on 4 wheel alignment as soon as I can, shame about the Esso garage :bricks:
I Thought the V70R and C70 in that sort of off orange colour :slap: looked the biz in the flesh. Pics don't do that colour justice.

Cheers Splatt for :deal: if they don't work the :cop:'s be after you mate.

Almost forgot who was that guy from the north of Watford in the black C70 taxi dismantling and reassembling component's in the pub car park?. :duck:

I was trying to wind them up let them gain then boosting it,
They had their windows down to begin with so i gave them some DeVibels lol,
About the turn off, I thought you read the gantry signs and was going to use the North Circ as the M25 was snarled up between J12-J15 :slap:

SaffronC70
Monday 10th October 2005, 16:49
lol ! did you see me spped right up to stay side on, but not leave them behind or let them pass !

No, I just wasn't paying attention - the M25 was actually clear !

Chris

PS. your car sound great ! even at those speeds with my window up, you can hear the turbo spool and end with a tshhh of the dump valve.

PPS. I did also for a second think I was being followed by a police car ! lol.

Tuesday 11th October 2005, 01:19
The turbo whistles so nicely on this one, In the tunnels is the best bit lol,
I made a effort of catching you on those twisties lol, so we could have a nice blatt on the M11,

PS Kent is on for me just told the missus lol, she is such a sweety :remybussi
I pay more attention and spend more money on the car than i do her.
