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. Image Image Image

[QUOTE=ExternalError;728566]wont be able to make it unfortunately[/QUOTE] sorry to hear that mate, not like you to miss one, but it is a bit of a trek mid-week.....see you at Retro then :)

Post 728571 by ExternalError on 2014-08-08 22:56:12

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

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

Sarah and I are planning on coming, we'll be in the T5 as the D5 is currently grounded until I've finished fitting the driveshafts.
