Alright, long time. There's a meet at Alton Towers this coming weekend, but most of us are too busy to attend. (Sorry Vicky, hope you have a nice birthday) A couple of us are getting prepared for a big trip to Sweden with the Turbobricks lot in August. Oh, and fitting MS to Ryan's 700 turbo to see if we can get the fuelling sorted.

Can't wait to see what else you've done to your car :D

Hello chap! Good to see you're still about! I can indeed vouch for Husky that the 340 gets used to the max on a daily basis!

Interested in the new toys. Stick around buddy and hopefully we'll get a big meet sorted where everyone can attend, as sadly so many people haven't been able to make meets lately. Get a date set early on, and make it a big get together.

Richard Dodd (remember him with the crazily clean 340 and the 'show board' at the MK meet?) said at the weekend that he was very keen for us to have another get together...sm56

It's about time, to be fair.

cheers

Good call - I think the Tbricks crowd are planning to go anyway, so this might work nicely.

cheers

Make it Shakespeare County raceway.. it'd be good to lay some times down at an alternative strip, and its also a more central location...

Pete, not sure if you will like the newest toy mate, its a bit ricer :oops:
Would be well up for a shakespeare or santapod meet, The pod is closer for me but I think I would prefer shakespere as I have never run there and I am led to belive it is much less buisy, the sheer amount of people going to the pod now is incredible, and means some days you only get three runs in.

I have to say just what a nice friendly forum this is, I havent posted here for about a year, and its nice to be remembered :D :D :D

My new toy is unfortunately not volvo shaped, but due to peer pressure and the fact that I have been forced to drive a few lately and sadly was very impressed (even though I tried not to be) I have bought an old datsun :lol: Image

To see just how good a forum you have created, and how bad a forum can get, have a look at www.gtr.co.uk Never Never let this forum get like that

Do you still have the 340 Iain? I'm not surprised their forum is a mess...what with the average Skyline owner being a burly nightclub owner sm56 Still...they are deeply awesome cars. Sick of people trying to race you yet? :)
