Looks like you had a good turn out.

Hopefully I'll be there in a fortnight to put some more names to faces

Halcyon days indeed

Still it looks like the uni rock night is going to be every month now, so I'll get the date for June's one on Saturday and badger you into coming down


Anyway it was great to catch up with some people I haven't seen for far too long as well as some new and recent aquaintances, the venue was good and the weather did us proud
All that was missing really (for me anyway) was my sodding header-tank cap (Stupid bloody Caterham owner, can't even screw a pressure cap on )

Hopefully see even more in a fortnight,

Cheers,
Ben

Was good to see you

Hi Keith!!

Small world, i used to work with the recovery driver Chris, hence our chat when he was in the car park!!!

All are welcome, I hope to get a few other non locost petrolheads along as well!

Good luck with the wheel bearing!

Might have a pinto head gasket in the shed if yours is a 2.0?

I'll have a peep this afternoon

No, gasket has disappeared.

Still only £20 for a head set though and 3 hrs work as long as the head doesn't need skimming, which it shouldn't.

good luck, see you in a week and a half.

i'll probably turn up in the tin top - you'll recognise me as the one drooling over the cars and crying in my pint.

2010 - i'll definately be finished by then.

I'll be there as long as I'm back from the big smoke in time and I can tell you that I'm a bit worried I may have a problem with the gearbox

Anyone feel like giving me a lift tonight?

Nat was, but he has no spare seat now, and Mikes tight for time. Anyone fancy a detour to collect me from Cov? Would be nice to meet up with a few of you, and this is the last week I am in Cov.

Cheers,
David

PS sure theres a couple of drinks or petrol money in it if anyone can give me a lift.

Sorry I missed y'all tonight I was still on the M25 at 7.15
