Just a quick note to say thankyou to agw_01 and cymatty for putting up with me over the weekend, and showing me the glory that is Manchester pubs.

cheers guys, you're both more than welcome around my way for the SW Meet

Yeah, nice try

I'm very impressed at your pulling techniques, but then what did I expect from Jeremy Clarkson himself

For everyone else, we were playing pool and these two 'birds' come over.. if you can call them that. One of them was quite scary.

Anyway, westy starts with his magic and before I know it, they're all laughing and joking together :eek:

Legend!

They probably found his accent funny

And you have to come to the SW meet, me and firestar will be going, with talk of staying over in a travelodge.

Clarkey · 23 Mar 2006 at 13:57

had a quick browse of the pics, could hardly believe it when i saw the 300's in the background. They are some of the NW guys meeting on their way to the record-breaking joint meet

L0rdMike · 23 Mar 2006 at 14:00

We had about 20 MX5's and near the same 200SX's at one point.

Just think if you make the thread now you would have 700 pages before the meet.

benno_bro · 23 Mar 2006 at 17:28

more pics please, espeically of big red rovers

agw_01 · 24 Mar 2006 at 10:26

lol Clive, have you posted any of yours that you sent me?

Right, I heard last night that Si has a video if him overtaking me on the bridge when I was doing 40 (due to very cooked brakes).

I of all people want to see it... just for the comedy factor of a Saxo overtaking a Rover

So come on Si, post post post!!!

paradigm · 24 Mar 2006 at 10:30

So this was after I went past you then?

Firestar_3x · 24 Mar 2006 at 10:38

How come you cooked your brakes andy, twin vented on the front?

Trust your going to uprate them?

God knows mate! I had the 214 brakes smoking at the pre-meet, but at previous MM's they didn't even fade.

I'm guessing because I'm getting to know the roads, I'm going faster and braking later and harder for the corners. Weird though as I hardly touched the brakes until I got to dead mans junction and even then I wasn't hammering them.

I'm hoping to get most of the car sorted by MM4. Strut braces, suspension (going on just under 2 weeks, wooooo), exhaust and the front braking setup from the MG ZS 180 (282mm discs).

El did say that it sounded like the calliper was sticking, which would explain why the brakes got so hot. When the weather gets better I'm going to whip the wheels off and reset the pistons in the callipers. See if that helps.

El, yeah I think you went past me before Si. I know I was grinning like a school girl as you did.

Firestar_3x · 24 Mar 2006 at 10:50

Good stuff, hope it all gets sorted by MM4, I predict hot weather so you will need the best brakes and tyres for ultimate grip

Next meet should be a blast, going to get some DSG3's on the front, new disks and pads all round, nice induction kit, should have my hoop rollbars and full SS system by then

agw_01 · 24 Mar 2006 at 10:53

Nice one. Will be good for you to be able to utilise the 5's handling and ability fully

With any luck, my P6000's will have worn down to slicks by the next meet, so I should be sorted in that department

I'll probably replace them with low profile Eagle's... something like these.

Should look better than the tractor 185/55's that are on at the moment.

Firestar_3x · 24 Mar 2006 at 10:55

good work, i've got the F1 Eagle DSG3's on the back of mine, fantastic tyres, not sure how long they will last though

Edit - slightly OT whats your Camping meet situation atm ?

agw_01 · 24 Mar 2006 at 11:08

I won't be able to update my status until payday on the 10th.

Then I've got to work out how much I'll have left at the end of the month.

If I do come, I'll basically be spending all of my money and end up with naff all by the end of the month... something that I need to stop doing!

I might still come though. Only live once and all that
