[quote=Balmoral Green]Come on guys, top fuel needs a ride, I offered but Derby-B'ham-Derby is a bit beyond the call of duty.
I've already offered a lift but am too unable to take such a diversion.
Paul, any chance of catching the train from B'ham to Derby or Loughborough??

Well its the Bubble Inn meeting on the 13th at Stenson Derby, so that weekend is off really, i'd suggest the 20th June??
What does everyone think?
I'm up for the 13th and combine the two. Meet at Donington Services and cruise in convoy to the meeting
Job done!
Lets not have a load of posts about not being able to make it. If you can't come try harder next time
Agreed, very good idea, that was nice and easy, the Buuble Inn for anyone whose not sure is a car meet at Stenson in Derby, its prodominantly Jap cars but allsorts turn up usually about 40-50 cars but they are enthusiasts and not boy racers. Its set on a canal with a big pub that serves a carvery, lovely place.

I'll look into getting trains to Looga Barooga if you like!
>>>>> EDIT <<<<<<<
Just checked. Each Journey is over and Hour each way.
Cheers for the offers, Both of You, but I'll give it a miss this time. I'll keep you posted on Le Mans activity if you like tho!

SUNDAY 13th JUNE 10am Donington services for a drive to the Bubble Inn for a jap car meet.

Yer thats right, its predominantly Jap, but thers all sorts there, we'll be popular like the new kid at school, coz we'll be different :P
I'll be there might be convoying with a couple of Crotch Rockets, and my m8's Skyline R33.

Uh oh .... sorry to be a potential pooper, but I've a problem in the name of only running on about 6 cylinders (which is a bit of a bummer when you've got a V8 !)
Mechanic is coming out to the house Saturday AM to try and fix it (my personal guess is crud in one of the carbs, coz this happened about 3 years ago with identical symptoms) .... will keep you all informed as to whether he can fix it or not ....

Not good enough, give it a run then, Italian tune up and it will soon be OK.
Edited to say: This is the car thats just been painted aint it? I want to see that gloss!
Tried that last night, didn't work
Distinct lack of power and lumpiness that can be felt as a harsh vibration through the whole car. She runs fine at idle and if I take each spark plug lead off in turn the revs drop, so I'm pretty confident it's a blocked jet (ergo a relatively easy fix .... it's just that I'm plain damn scared of touching those four 40DCNF's !! Never have been any good with carbs ...) Fingers crossed the Mech will fix it Saturday, he's top notch. Yes, it is the freshly painted car

I'm going to try to make it too - I'll bring my son, he loves Skylines - anyone offering to take him out for a spin?
I'll get him a trip in the skyline if i can have a ride out in the TVR
Erm, you're offering a ride in someone else's car? Maybe you'd better check with them first?
