I mooted the idea today of the usual midlands lot having a day/evening/night devoted to watching assorted car related DVDs, videos with a BBQ on the go and plenty of beer.
I'll volunteer my place cos I still have loads of booze left from the party and have the space, and a number of the requisite films.

Saturday 25th July.

The farm shop near me does excellent meat etc., but someone would need to bring an actual barbecue cos I don't have one.

I also have..
Gone in 60 seconds (both versions)
Italian job (both versions)
Taxi (both versions)
Ronin,
Convoy,
Duel
Fast and the Furious..
XXX
Death Race (both versions)
French Connection
The Driver
Vanishing Point
Dukes of Hazzard (re-make)
Mad Max (box set)


Anyone else up for it?

Me and Iain are doing an all day Autotest on Sat 4th but should be about on the 11th. Can add in Bullit and Cars to the DVD list as well. I've got a couple of large oil barrels in the back yard so could probably knock up a BBQ Scrapheap Challenge Stylie if you want?

Can people do the 27th June, or the 25th July?

Sounds good. Can someone record the TVR challenge on at 6:55 on Men and Motors?

25th July is good for me.

I can supply the following DVDs:

- Transporter
- American Graffiti
- Cannonball run (I think)
- Goodwood revival

With the titles listed so far, Friday night to Sunday night is going to be needed as a 48 hour non-stop minimum! Is it going to be open house, come and go all weekend?

No idea,
but with perfect ironic timing, my TV has just packed in....
It won't switch on properly, just switches itself back to standby mode. a brief fiddle with the mains cable produced a poor picture for a couple seconds, so i think a loose connection or quick-fried insect somewhere.
Does anyone know a proper TV engineer??

Probably cheaper to pick another one up off Fleabay. When mine went kaput last year it was £120 to get it fixed so picked another one up off the Bay for fifty quid.

Can also add Bullit and Le Mans to the list, as well as Talledega Nights, Gumball3000-The Movie and James May's Motormania Car Quiz

TV Fixed! Yay! bounce
Something to do with the frame output a known fault on the model I have.
10 minutes of soldering (including warm -up) and £35 to a bloke who knows, and job done.
