Awesome

See you there lads

I will try and make it. Its Glastonbury tickets day so if Ive got them, I'll be in a good mood and want to come out.

If I didnt get them, I'll be ringing round like mad trying to find work there so I can still go

Nice one Rob, Brett it would be cool to catch up mate. I havent had a blast in the GTE yet!

**Brett** · 28-03-2008, 09:21

My cars looking very sorry for itself, wiped out a wingmirror on a post at my new house the other night. Amateur.

**CraigGreen** · 28-03-2008, 09:26

Oops. Hardly major.

You learning to drive again?

**Brett** · 28-03-2008, 10:14

with the amount of knocks Ive had in the last month, it might be an idea you know

I'll do my best to be at the meet guys

kNeo_gHau · 28-03-2008, 13:43

I will be at work from 9-5 and theres no holiday spaces left

Can come pretty much straight from work though i expect so will miss the main meal if you have one i expect.

Will people be heading off to chavfest at weston afterwards?

**CraigGreen** · 28-03-2008, 14:20

Not sure what the plan is. I could be up for a jaunt accross to Weston.

coolamasta · 29-03-2008, 00:16

Yeah i'll be going to Weston after for the crack and a laugh

chip · 29-03-2008, 02:05

Pizza hut at 8pm is the plan for those wanting to eat, so if anyone from further north wants to join in but doesnt want to go down to bridgwater, thats a good time to catch up with us all

**CraigGreen** · 02-04-2008, 15:16

Bump for anyone interested.

kNeo_gHau · 02-04-2008, 16:14

i might miss out on the pub part totally and just meet up in weston then, probably be easier

opelgsi · 02-04-2008, 18:37

anybody goin to the sunday street wars at smeatharpe on the 13th?

kNeo_gHau · 05-04-2008, 22:56

What time are you hoping to all be in weston then?

chip · 06-04-2008, 01:55

Is anyone still going to the pub bit?

Im planning to, but only got engine half back together so far, so not sure if it will be ready in 12 hours or not, as I could do with getting some kip first before I can crack back on, although stupink is up at mine helping out this weekend so at least there are two of us on it even if we'll only realistically have a couple of hours.

**CraigGreen** · 06-04-2008, 20:54

Yeah I turned up, was on my own. Waited in carpark until 20 past & went back home & resumed the shag I paused half way through.

chip · 07-04-2008, 12:25

You had left by the time I arrived then, I wanted to come in the calibra and was slightly later than I expected bolting my engine back together.

A couple of people off another forum I mentioned the meet on also went along.

No one else there though

kNeo_gHau · 07-04-2008, 12:49

I was in weston at 8pm but after hanging round for a little while no one turned up so i went on home

Was nice to go out in the astra again though after driving round in the french tractor all week

chip · 07-04-2008, 12:52

Me and stu (stu has a calibra but was in his fiesta) and matt (in his calibra) and his mrs (she was in a proton gti) were in weston at 8pm mate, we went for a pizza with a couple of the ford guys, it was a good night out, you must just have not spotted us.

I phoned craig to let him know we were still planning on going to weston if he wanted to just do that bit (didnt realise he had gone to the pub) but I got no answer.

**CraigGreen** · 08-04-2008, 21:35

Ahwell, too bad I missed ya. No harm.

Hows the Calibra then Chip? Or more importantly, the engine?

chip · 08-04-2008, 23:34

All back together, some worrying compression test results after first 30 miles, but TBH thats not long enough to be certain its not just a lifter issue or similar, so its still a "dont know" at this stage!

It is 80% likely it will be at combe id say at this stage, but its 90% likely it will not be at quite the stadnard I had hoped, as im running low on time and not even started on polybushing it etc yet.

**CraigGreen** · 09-04-2008, 10:26

It all takes time perfecting the issues... Has it had new rings etc, or a headgasket & skim?

chip · 09-04-2008, 10:43

New rings, skimmed head, one seat replaced, all valves relapped, new head gasket.
