Darren,

trying to hook you up with Ben from Bedale in his R1 Type 9R (just passed SVA yesterday,should be registered in time)Stephen Wright Type ZR from Leeds, Robert Battey Type 9R from Cleckhudersfax and his mate with the Tiger, and Jason Barker from Cleckhuddersfax in his Type ZR. Couple of lads from Leeds also interested so I'll keep you informed.

Are you guys back in business yet??? Any chance of some front wings?
I'll have to pop down at some point anyway for a couple of bits n bobs and try out your new coffee machine, maybe even see if the tea in the new one is better than the dishwater in the old one

The "new" unit is up and running, new stock is arriving every day, doesn't feel like home yet, but at least we have a roof over our heads. Have you moved house yet? let me know what parts you need and I'll see if I've got them yet. We have a "new" drinks machine , sadly though its only a kettle, and the tea is will taste the same apart from a sligh burnt taste caus it was salvaged from the old unit

Phone numbers the same 0114 2619633.

Are you in the country on Sept. 17th ?

Cheers

Mark


I'm in country for the next three weeks but it's Paola's b'day on the 17th so no go on that one.

Haven't moved yet but I've bought a place with a large double garage, a pit and an overhead hoist. Paola reckons I can just move a sofa and a bed in there and she can have the rest of the house. Fair deal I think

I'll give you a call once I figure out what I need.

I'm heading down from Aberdeen on the Saturday, staying near Preston overnight then head to MAC#1 on Sunday am.

What time does it start? Finish?

I'll be trying to blag a ride in a ZR CEC once I am there as I have never actually been in one of these cars before! I have seem a few locally though (GTS and Tiger Cat). The 9R BEC will probably scare the pants off me and put me off.

I'm hoping to order a ZR kit on the day.

See you there.
Keith.





Why do they call Port Harcourt "The Garden City"?...... Becauase they can't spell Stramash.

Im going to aim to get there about 9.45 ish. The guys told me they will go out for a blat when everyone arrives at approx 10am. Then back in time for bbq and some tunes (cant wait for them!).

My car is a fairly tame Pinto ZR. If i have a spare seat for the blat you are most welcome to it. Dont expect to be scared though as im still learning how to drive the thing!

Im still waiting for Ben, Stephen, Robert, Jason etc to log on so we can arrange some meeting points en-route. Its so much nicer to drive down in a mini convoy.
Where is good meeting point for you guys? i guess Leeming bar for Ben and Woolley edge for everyone else.

How does this sound:
Leeming bar arr08.15 dep 08.30
Woolley Edge arr 09.15 dep 09.30 (56 miles)
Mac#1 arr 10.00 at latest. (26 miles)

Let me know,
Cheers,
Darren.

There's only a 5% chance that I can make it. SOB SOB.

Its Emma's mums birthday (soon to be mother in law SOB SOB SOB) on the 17th. If I can come I'll probably be in the tin top as it is the only thing that gives me a fighting chance of being home by lunchtime without having a MASSIVE smile on my face from the loony drive across & back.

Its not looking good though

Hi Darren

Sorry but won't be able to make it on the 17th. Have a 6 week old son to look after. Hopefully next time there is an open day I will be able to go down.

Cheers

Robert
