As some people have already pointed out, it will probably stick to the showroom floor just as well....

Right folks, as discussed yesterday, here it is...

The October meeting of the Cambridge Chapter of the SIDC will be a curry.

Depends on the car, what power you want, and what you plan to do with that power.

If you have an early classic, then yes it helps.

If you have a late classic it helps less.

If you have a newage it makes little difference.

300bhp - not much difference.

400bhp - makes more difference.

500bhp - probably essential.

Road only - limited use.

Racing - much more useful.

M

(02 STI, 390bhp, still original top mount).

Guys,

ive just moved to Stalham, is this anywhere near the place you meet ?? forgive me im a daft scotsman lol (have SATNAV tho lol)

Im back up in Scotland just now but will be moving down permanently in mid october! So if you let me know where the meets are and i can research it ???

Cheers for your help !!

DAZ

Sorry, but we are meeting a LONG way from Stalham. The venue is in Fen Ditton which is just outside Cambridge. For meets in your area you're probably better off looking in on Scooby City.

M

I make the next meeting to be due on Tuesday 25th September. How does that sound? The Plough from 19:30 onwards as usual?

M

laughing at another youtube link...

reading the comments left with the vid, some people are so harsh on the poor sods! I know that everyone should be aware that you gotta keep the keys in and switched to "on", but still its a simple mistake to make.

I believe that the towing car is being driven by Any Forrest, after he flew somewhere like Jamaica to do a map. He did have a long post on SN explaining what happened, and I seem to remember that it wasn't quite that straightforward.

M

next meet you guys have let us know, would have been a good drive out, the last joint meet was cracking

Peterborough meets are nearly always the last Friday of the month, but the venue can change.

M

INAL, but I believe it has to start in under three years; but there is no saying when it has to be settled by.

M

I will probably be going straight there - from Harlow it's a simple run up the M11 to the Duxford turnoff - what time does it open? and once open, if I turn up a bit later than the rest of you, will I be able to get onto the SIDC area?

 

Cheers

IIRC, for this event it's 09:00. You'll need to go to the entrance further down the A505, past the old original gates, NOT the usual main entrance.  They should have a sign up there for club vehicles.

M

Not sure yet, I'm trying to get out of an on-call night.

M
 

Any more news on the meeting point for the convoy guys?

Or are we meeting at the same place as last year (Park & Ride)?

 

Right, I've decided...

The convoy will start at the Park and Ride car park in Trumpington. If that is closed (and i think it is), then it will be the Waitrose car park next door. Meet at 08:00, for an 08:30 departure. Be there or be square etc.

M

Belated reply: mines a rally blue bugeye, with an STI8 scoop:

Is yours the one I've seen a couple of times near the hospital? I think each time I've seen it I've been on foot so you won't have noticed it. I think there's two red classics in the area, one with gold decals, one without.

M

From memory the P&R car park is shut on a Sunday, which is why we ended up in Waitrose last year. After planning a rendezvous in the P&R car park...[]

M

Do we have a convoy plan for this yet? Last time it was about 08:30 in Trumpington Waitrose car park IIRC.

M
 

Or you can go to Zen (I notice you got your engine from Paul) - he takes the car over to the Ford garage opposite and then does the work himself.

BTW,  what colour is your car? I'm in the Huntiingdon area and I see a fair number of scoobs around.

M

kept it at 60 all the way there and back.

Er - why? Or are you in a van?

M

You'll be fine as long as you don't mind all the locals having webbed fingers and toes...

M 

No can do - previous engagement.

M

According to my freebie local paper, the SPECS cameras on the A14 between Huntingdon and Cambridge are now live - so watch out.

M
 

According to Kevin, space is not a premium here - if we need more, then Duxford will give it. All Kevin needs is notice of how many people are turning up, and he needs to know a little before the event.
