I have to cancel our apparence at Dunkerque

sorry we can't be at the Dunkerque meeting due technical problems,
- heater, blower function stop working during rain.
- bad fuel economics and engine heating problems.

With these kind of problems it would be an unsave or even a dangerous trip.

We will hope to see u all next year.

Yours
Arnold and Saritha.

@telegraphroad: that sounds not very nice. Heater could be bad solder. for the engine trouble. Runs the engine badly? Perhaps the ECU is in 'get you home' mode due a other problem. Is the thermostat OK?
good luck

Hi !

hope you reached home safely.
We thank you for being there with us. Hope you are not too frustrated that not so many french people took the opportunity to practice their english.
By the way, the frenchies did wonderful pics. which you can see here :

Great meeting, nice to see a Brit, shame there weren't more, but yeah well was cool anyway. Had fun driving like an idiot and taking wrong turns, and finally the 850's engine giving up the ghost on the way back from orlÃ©ans...
Next french one will be in La Rochelle...

Gimle · Post by **Gimle** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 3:18 pm

so did you convince any of them to join the 480 club europe

Sophie · Post by **Sophie** » Mon Sep 06, 2004 10:22 pm

I think most of them had joined the club ages ago, but mostly the ones who understand english...
