Uffington White Horse 5th Meet. Saturday 25th Sept, 12:30.

[stefaclese]

I just have to hope the car charger for my phone arrives tomorrow so it lasts the journey with the gps on

Joe, you don't need to turn it on until you're near Swindon on the M4, unless you can't navigate yourself to the M5 and then on to the M4 at Bristol?

[munky]

erm...

[stefaclese]

[munky]

It took me 5 years to learn the name of the road at the end of my street

[PJW]

I have a good satnav app on my phone if we get stuck and ive got a charger for it.

What time are you planning on heading back joe?

Got your phone number vard

[munky]

bother knows... not too late as I've got to keep going on down to penzance to pick sarah up.... so I have to find the mid-way between late and hungover and leave at that precise point.

cool beans man, youll have to drive slow in that v6 as my girly 1.4 wont keep up

looks like all we need to do is go up to bristol and turn right onto the m4, then turn the satnav on

Lol yeah i was planning on cruising at 80 ish for mpg purposes.

[PJW]

sweet sweet irony.. just been up the car park to go into torpoint and ive now got a nice big puddle of coolant under the car

im hoping its just a hose but it looks like its coming from the bottom corner of the radiator. aa mans here, hopefully he can fix..

[Vard66]

Eggs. Or Radweld.

[stefaclese]

Chocolate eggs won't work though

There was a 1.4 R25 down the scrappers near Uffington if it comes to it

[PJW]

ha just got back (was on my phone) rad has gone on the bottom drivers side, looks like somethings gone through it. aa man was a bit naff tbh he just put some celit in and told me the radiators had it, then whittered on about the headgasket. yeah cheers. unless i can get a radiator and in by 9am tomorrow i might have to sit this one out.

[Vard66]

Or you could shotgun with Joe...

[PJW]

Or you could shotgun with Joe...

yeah fair one ill pm him and see what time hes back.. as i need the radiator to go to middlesbrough first thing sunday.. fecking rovers!

[munky]

If the words 'first thing' are involved on sunday, you're swinging for a miss lol.

Also, I may be taking the concept of fashionably late to new heights tomoro...

just fecking annoyed me to be honest, every time i have a long journey to do im always paranoid somethings going to go wrong when i have a rover/mg, stuff like this shows why

im going to kev coopers at 8am tomorrow and ill see if i can get one sharpish, even if i have to fit it in a carpark

[Vard66]

Should've kept the sorted Diesel 45, but I'm guessing you know that right about now.

[Din]

One more sleep to go

Looking forward to it fellas

well, due to a few unforseen things, I wont be leaving plym til later in the day, anytime from 10 to midday ish, so if you do get one sorted let me know and we can still convoy up.

I would be happy to give you a lift, but I dont plan on leaving til around midday ish on sunday, and I'm planning on carrying on down the a30 to penzance to get the wife so dropping you back wont work either lol, unless you fancy dinner with my inlaws and two hours squished between two vomiting 7yr olds on the way back?

[Din]

Nice...

[munky]

well, its not a guarantee... but they arent very good with the twisties... and theres a lot of twisties inbetween pz and plym lol.

[PJW]

just got a radiator sorted, picking it up at 2 so im out

[Vard66]

You bite, Paul. Hard.

Sitting here waiting for Diniel to turn up - he's had some trouble this morning, fitting the MBC he picked up, which seems to be broken, and because of having to put the BMV back on, he's running epically late.

On the plus side time wise, Rich has bailed spectacularly at the last minute, so we don't need to go via Marlborough.

[munky]

rich is gay.

I'll be leaving soon.

[Rich_1988]

The reason I bailed is because I currently have diarrhea, I somehow seem to be producing more despite not having eaten anything since yesterday evening, spent last night awake with cramps and the shits not going as Im sure they wouldnt appreciate having to stop so i can turd.

Have fun guys, just one of those things

[mike88]

[Vard66]

F**king lol!

Not particularly at your situation, though a little bit. Mostly at your usage of the word 'turd' as a verb.

Good day, good turnout as usual; despite a handful of deserters (you know who you are), including two people I wasn't expecting to show - (I only just got Sheaf's text telling me they were coming along,) TomcatDan and his girlfriend, Suzanne.

Beautiful weather, better than any of us could've hoped for.

All in all, another Uffingon meet well... er.. 'uffed.

I am currently being berated by Din and Roger, who assures me that "pictures are so much cool."



I will get them up (giggety) once I have been through and resized most of them, and probably deleted some more. I took something like 380 photos today, and have so far whittled them down to 79. Still far too many to post.




Vard.

[Din]

[Vard66]

Also; Many lulz were had, when Stef put a spider in Joe's baccy a minute ago.

[Din]

"pictures are so much cool."

It was a really good day, and a REALLY funny night.... the spider in baccy was amuseing, dont think Joe thought so mind you

[Vard66]

lol, Dan.

How much trouble were you in when you got back this afternoon, after promising to be leaving here at about nine?

[Red icon]

A grand day out, Di say's Yesterday we came across a Rover 600 with a very rare optional extra, it had a reversing camera sited above the sunroof, it wasn't automatic or manually operated but vardiomatic, which only seems to work when a rover was behind or in front, very clever.



one of the convoy

Yeah... i did tell him to be carefull of my seats while standing up hanging out the sunroof with his camera

And a pic of my car..... Vard, get on it for crying out loud

[Vard66]

Hey, bite me.

I still haven't fixed the soundcard drivers on this thing yet.

I tried to upload to Photobucket yesterday, and it failed halfway through

Right, fine.

I'll put them up in here first, and then move them a bit later.

Dan rocks up at Chez Vardon...














Glorious weather;



I decided to get the obligatory breakdown photo out of the way early, on the way through Avebury.



Master Din;



We rock up at Uffington - Marc9584 and Richard_is show some differing reactions to our arrival.



On our arrival, Din's Ti suddenly effuses a cloud of (utterly inexplicable) smoke from behind the engine, so of course, up goes the bonnet...









That's more or less all I managed to upload last night before the upload to Photobucket failed. I'll post more later when I've managed to upload them all.
