Southern Softies Meet 11th November...

[M-R-P]

C'mon peep-holes, This will be the 11th softies meet - on the 11th...
Considering the date, I'd like to make the meet a little earlier, say starting at 10.00-10.30, so we can have a minute's silence to remember our brave lost and surviving military personnel.

Get your names down and hopefully, make this the biggest one yet.

In answer to your first question, ME7 cars are notoriously hard to map and specialist equipment is required. the average "superchips" place can't usually manage it.

Something else to remember is that you should never unplug an SRS cable (orange) without disconnecting the battery for a couple of hours first. That's where your SRS warning has come from.

Usually, one of the attendees has the kit to turn off the airbag light, and the "time for regular service" message can be reset with a combination of key position and button presses.

I couldn't get that grille unfortunately - the scrappy crushed the car before I got to it :(

[Mongo]

No Square burgers today as a power cut closed the kitchen!

Little MRP showed hes frustration...

http://i1100.photobucket.com/albums/g413/martinrpeachey/DSCF9350.jpg

[JUDGENINJA]

Sorry peeps. Looks like a good-un... Shame really as I overslept in my hotel in Rotherham.

In actal fact there was no way I was going to make it for 10:00 or even 12:00. When I arrived at my site in Sheffield I realised that I had a load of things to do, so as I write this I'm still here drinking a coffee before I load the car will 10 boxes on Validation documentation and some spare parts. before heading back from one smoke to another and enjoy the Sunday afternoon M25 queue.

Are we doing anything special for the Xmas meet? (Square burger with a cracker and silly hats??)

[oblark]

Here`s a few photo`s that I took.

Great to meet some new faces.

Wow, they say bad things happen in three's.....and we have someone to blame for no 'Square Burger' lol

[Harvey]

I think the combination of weekend drivers and a very low sun.
I drive on that road weekdays 4-5 times a month and have never had any problems.

[stribo]

Mini Stribo, all his gear, and 2 tyres fitted in the R, so I don't think we'll need a V70. ;)

[stribo]

Yeah lol, though they seem to forget that the GS range, the LS range and the SC430, are all gash.

[Harvey]

My guess they were talking about Toyota's next recall,there's bound to be one on they way !.:rotfl:
Any how they said the food was good at the vine,it could get better if they served it after you paid for it not just give you your money back.:(
