[CENTER]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. List... MRP[/CENTER]

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 :(

Post 546948 by JUDGENINJA on 2012-11-11 15:35:29

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??)

Well, with mini Stribo and all the gear they have to bring with him, I reconing it won't be long before they're in the market for a P2 V70R lol.

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

Lmao! Nice find Steve! Funny how they only mentioned the look of the volvos, not the soundtrack, tuning, the fact that there were twice the number of cars... And oh yeah, the fact that we had twice the power and turbos pmfsl!

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