A great meet overall bar some old fuddy duddy complaining about absolutally nothing, resulting in all of us getting the fore mentioned warning, and some getting tickets issued (including me). Cheers to everyone who made an effort to turn up, and sorry we couldnt get a club banner. Heres some photos from the day:

raced an Ultima GTR across france and had to do a bit of a runner from the gendamerie

Im gettin up first thing to do mine. See you all in the morning

think its going to stay dry for the morning

Come down the A3 from kingston mate. I dont know which way you were planning on coming, but i would have thought from chiswick, it would have been the easiest way.

jesus, thats bloody cheap!

The springs weaken over time on the ssqv's. You can get uprated ones from HKS which should solve the problem

The 318D is gutless mate, and i mean REALLY gutless! Best bet mate is to go test drive the ones on your short list and make a decision from there. Jodie can certainly help with sorting out some beemers for you to try

If you want someone to map your car, speak to JD, he should be able to sort you out

if it rains it rains. it'll still be a good meet! :D

good girl riobenson, no probs what so ever

You should be able to hear the blow yourself. Have the down pipes (the first section of the exhaust that comes directly off the turbo) for uprated divorced downpipes. The manifolds are a nightmare to get to. I have been told that you can get to the bolts with the engine in, but im yet to have seen it myself. You can get to the bolts on the turbo down pipes without taking the engine out. I recently changed my downpipes for divorced ones, and after about 500 miles it started to blow on the drivers side. Ended up being a poor quality gasket. Changed to the cost of and hour and a halfs labour at Z-Tech in Swindon. No problems since. HTH Nick

if i remember correctly, its an italian restaurant

I take it by "See you next Sunday" your refering to the Goodwood Meet. Good on you mate if you are, if you could be so kind to stick your name on the list and say when you have completed the registration form. Well done with solving your fault as well Nick

Guys and gals, I think it would be pretty sweet if we all turned up to this meet at the same time in convoy, and i personally think it would be nice to get there at the start of the meet so we get a nice position on the circuit. So the plan is to RVP at Sainsburys, Jnc of Porterfield way and Westhampnett Road from between 08:30 and 08:50. The car park will be nice and empty so we should have no problems finding each other. Here are a few maps to help find it. And for those who really struggle where the bus stop sign is in the middle of the map, is the entrance to the shops so ignore the (A) flaghttp://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=westhampnett+road+chichester&sll=51.283904,-0.954346&sspn=0.005167,0.013733&g=rg27+9nn&ie=UTF8&ll=50.843732,-0.758014&spn=0.002608,0.006866&z=17 This is how far away we will be from Goodwood itself, and the route we will take If any of you would like to change the time, say now or forever hold your peace. Finally, could those of you who have stated you are coming, please post a reply to say you have seen this. Cheers guys Nick

Its not like hes buying a weekend toy si, he's getting something that will spend most of its life going up and down the countrys motorways and A roads, and im sorry bud, but the beemer is a much much better car to drive and be inside. Besides, i never set it was pretty :D

Looks like its got some potential, only a few things left to make it a tidy example. Once youve sorted the lights, book yourself into a pro detailer. Itll cost a few quid for a full valet/paint correction, but honest to got, itll be worth every penny! Keep at it fella

show me show me show me

you mean the merc???

When was the last time they made a good looking car???? I used to hate BMW's with a passion, but since jodie has been getting a company car, and you get over the look of the car, as a company car and something for spending alot of time in, they extremely competant cars. TBH bar the RS line up, i hate most VAG cars more than beemers. Anyway, you cant say nothing,... Jag X type, the WORST jag ever made!!!!!

BMW 1 SERIES D HATCHBACK 123D M SPORT 2000 5dr MAN 2006 Its still a 2 litre diesel, but as apposed to the 120d, the 123d is a 2.0 twin turbo. We've had one for the last 4 months, and it flies!!! The m sport seats are much comfier than the se seats. If you wana come try one marco, jodie can sort one of for you

Cheers dave, thats cleared that up. Dont suppose you know what offset he's running on the front?
