    Volvo meets curry night 13/8/14

    Further to Pault5's post about when the next Two Henry's meet will be and the discussion that followed, we will meet on Wednesday Night at about 6.30-7 pm at the Two Henry's Shrewsbury. It is curry and a drink night, but the usual menu should still be available for those that fancy something else. I look forward to seeing you there.

    If the other half is off Wednesday night then we want to come along, we need a night out anyway. I'm thinking that I'll bring the D5 so you can all poke fun at it....

    Yeah hopefully although suspension is an issue atm so car is no where near ready to show and the clutch is on its last legs so think a big hit to the bank balance coming. its why im trying to push the coilover group buy although it looks like a no go so think i may just bite the bullet and pay full price.

    annoyed at my self really because if id just made the buy 6 months ago and just replaces the coilovers on it with bc racing ones instead of getting them refurbed id have saved a fair bit but oh well

    Summer time is always going to be a bit difficult to get a group buy together as many peeps have families and holidays eating into there cash, not to mention show season and trying to afford the extra shiney bit for under the bonnet. At the start of the group buy I was all up for it, but lucky for me it went dead and the Gul came up, so it became a bit of a no brainer of what to do, I'll just have to pay a bit more later, but at least the Gul will be in the garage downstairs and I didn't miss it, oh well I'll just add it to next years no existent racing budget.....lol
