  1. Cheers guys! Glad you had a good evening, the weather was superb too. Gutted I wasn't there!

    Felt bad knowing you were waiting for me at Brampton too, sorry guys :P .

    I was on the road to Cambridge and the car just started mis-firing and hesitating badly, then I heard a loud

    ticking sound. I thought it was my worst fear, and that the big ends had gone :D

    Pulled the car over and shut down straight away. Called a mate and he came and picked me up with a trailer.

    Had a look at the car this morning and after 2 hours of searching I found the problem.

    I'd just had the car serviced and it had new NGK plugs fitted. When I pulled the lead off number 3 I noticed some

    white ceramic coating inside the lead, then I took the plug out and it was damaged to the point that the ceramic coating was just crumbling apart! ;)

    Popped down the local Halfords with the missus and picked up a new plug, and hey presto problem solved :D

    Checked all the other plugs and there was no problem.

    I just put it down to either manufacturing fault or the mechanic being a little to heavy handed :(

    Car is running fine now, although my MOT is this week :P

    Will wrap it up in cotton wool now until the next meet, then I will DEFINATELY be there :D

    Laters all.

    No worries mate, these things happen. Thanks heavens it was a simple fix, when our type R did something similar to that it ended up costing us...................................................well just think of a number and double it! B)

    We'll see you next time, I'll post details in here as soon as a date is confirmed :angry:

  2. After a little stop off at the local KFC for a quick bite to eat we are now home.

    Thanks to Iain and Stu for a great afternoon, what a perfect excuse for a drive out in the scoob.

    As already stated it was really good to put names to faces and I hope to see you all soon.

    Oh and Stu, no need to blank out my reg either as I'll be putting the personal plates on soon :P

    Whoops almost forgot to say that I can't wait to see the pics either :(:angry:

  3. Good to finally meet you too Miss Daisy :angry:

    No need to worry about the driving, better safe than sorry. What was that Mulitpla doing on the A6!!! Idiot.

    Hopefully see you at the next one.

    P

    We knew Kim wouldn't undertake them but I bet she was having a good moan about them! :(

  4. Hi Rachel,

    have you just walked through the door as well?

    It was good to meet you guys too, I had a good time thanks.

    Will defo try and get to the next one. :angry:

    Yep, pretty much just got in :P

    Glad you enjoyed yourself tonight :(

  5. Really very sorry I didn't make it guys!

    Left the house at 16:15 to meet you guys at Brampton, but when

    I was half way to Cambridge I had a problem with the car :angry:

    Not sure what the problem is yet but managed to get back home.

    Hope you guys have a good night!

    Shame you couldn't make it we had a really good night, hope you get the problem sorted out soon and it's not too expensive! :(
