Hi All,

Looks like it is a goer then!

Yes John £15 for car and driver and £10 per additional person.

As explained any money that may get left over will only go back into the party sorry meet anyway.

Chris

Right decision time! I have done my calculations and we are likely to come unstuck if we continue in the same fashion as last year. Last year we spent = £245.31 Money from members = £215 Shortfall = (£30.31) As you will see from my input above from the numbers listed and money suggested we have t...

Hi All, Apologies for not getting much on here but things are happening all the time in the C6REW household. Anyway first of all here is a this list of people who said they would come: HANDLE QTY jamwor007 2 Martin Holmes 1 Fnord 1 Matbat 1 DragonLord 2 Dbsvolvos 2 John Denmead 2 Jon 1 Cat Groom 2 C...

Hi Jethro, A fair distance I am afraid 130 miles. However if you are travelling from Nottingham to Devon on that day. When are leaving? Do you have to arrive at a certain time? You could go right past us with a very minor detour. Obviously look at a map and find Swindon, south of there you will find...

Hi Strangegame,

Not sold yet! Been too busy to even put it on Auto Trader.

Best (worst) insurance I ever heard of was in 1974 when I knew the Fiat dealer in Haverfordwest, Dyfed, South Wales. The Fiat X19 had just come out (two seater sports car) and this young lad come in and said 'I am 17 and have just passed my test and I want one of them'. Not exactly sure but think th...

Hi All,

Well I am suprised, NO ONE has made me an offer!

Anyone interested in making an offer before I put it on Auto Trader?

Hi Guys, Spotted this in 'Honest John's' section of the Motoring Telegraph on a Saturday. Thought it was interesting and good to share with you. http://volcano.photobucket.com/albums/v11/C6REW/Telegraph_480_Choose_a_Car_2.jpg 170,000 miles and virtually trouble free! Great. I wonder where the car ha...

Hi Murf, Good luck on the lottery. I hope if you win your cheque to me will be bigger!!! You are right about the 800 in every aspect. I have had a lot of them over the years and worked for Rover as a salesman when the 800 was launched. How we managed to sell against stiff opposition just shows how g...

I am struggling with this but it has to go! My 1995 Celebration: Mileage: approx 100k Colour: black metallic Bodywork: Very very good All the usual extras but has a standard cassette radio and not the CD player. Uprated speakers all round with amplifier booster in door that I have not wired in. What...

Hi Daniel,

Sorry about that. We have been planning it for a while now. I think most people had made their mind up that going over to the continent was probably out anyway. I am sure you will have a good turnout.

Good news Mat,

It helps to have insurance!!

Send me an email with your details I can put a list together then.

Chris

Hi Everyone, I am about to start preparations and note that I do not have many names. So before I go ahead and put pen to paper (keyboard to screen!) can I get a head count of those who are definitely coming? (bar emergencies of course) Send me an email as mentioned previously to chris@swi.org.uk wi...

Hi Dave, It was always my intention to have this meet on the second bank holiday ie at the end of May. There will obviously be a better chance of good weather then. Apologies to everyone if I did not make this clear. Now I have the 480 Turbo problem out of my hair I will devote a little time to putt...

Hi BBF, I do not know the answer obviously one comes from the pedal and the other goes? who knows where. Hi Dave, The car was originally taken to the garage by the new owner and the receipt I have shown is to him, hence I have removed reference to his name and address. When I went back to the garage...

Fixed!! OK The story with pictures goes like this: 1. The car which had been running OK suddenly started to have a problem when in motion and accelerating. I eventually drove it and once the turbo gauge went into the orange the engine would start to splutter and die. Careful use of the accelerator w...

Hey Kirsty, No worries, you should use this great excuse to try and get over the shyness. Got to say that Gaz is right last year was very funny all stood around my living room looking at each other, then I said OK what about the BBQ that changed everything! As to cars, well see my thread on the Turb...

Hi All, Well I had an interesting but fairly fruitless meeting with the Volvo dealer today. They confirmed that the turbo was OK and the wastegate as well. Apparantly the wastegate was sticking when they saw it but all is OK now. They say for a 90' turbo they cannot do any diagnostics and it is abou...

James,

This is the guy who turned up for the meeting in Chirton last year with a puppy and could not stay long.

I have a mobile number so send me your number and I will text it to him. I obviously cannot give you his number.

Regards

Chris
