Just gauging interest.

Proposed meet up at my place near Dorking, easy to find.

If this is still on then I will be pleased to provide refreshments and bacon butties etc.

Rumour has it that a keen tivey wants to change a cam in return for providing lots of cider, (that wont get done then!).

Plenty of room and a decent garage to fiddle in smile.

All welcome yikes !

I am hoping to have mine up and running and may nervously drive down to Pompey in it next week.
I would be willing to come along and help but....

There will be jobs needing doing on mine also. Need to bend a bit of tube up for the bolt in door bar and want to relocate my battery in the boot for atarters.

What a lovely invitation. I would love to be there, thank you Peter. Please order up a heatwave. bandit

I will bring the Rover Gauge software, laptop and cable (blitzracing's bit of kit) for a lesson on setting whatever can be set on a 14CUX. And will be very interested in everything else except alcohol, as I will have to drive home again.

Sounds like it's going to be a busy day, maybe I should bring just one 5 gallon drum of cider or it may end up not being very productive biggrin

You never can tell with English weather!

Let's hope it changes.

Itinerary, make it up as you go is my motto, I really don't mind.

A chat here, a tinker there etc etc!

I'm trying to persuade my daughter to be on hand food wise smile

Well QBee we can have a look at my new engine set up if you like. I'm all standard electrics, everything new so should give an idea, I'm really up for that. Yeah me to I'll probably have to drive back so coffee on tap is the main thing Peter.

So am I going to witness a Cam change, I never keep up! Bloody sad but that's exciting to me, lol.

Peter, good news I got your old wheel repaired. Jeez I'd flattened it! Even better news is in an old barn next to the wheel repairer was aVW nut! Spends his life polishing his rocket. Lol going to take wheels to him see what he can do, his Passat must be worth 40,000, it's that polished! Really cool guy actually, so Alls well and all that!

Is it that silver grey one with the impossibly large wheels at a 30 degree angle?

Unfortunately (but as usual) I'm unlikely to get home in time to make this, however, if you guys do get to do a cam change, a step by step photographic record of each, er, step, would be awesome... sort of visual idiots guide smile
