DannoSupra Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 There's no point me driving an hour from mine, just to come back to a place that's only 10mins from my door. Havard has got my number so has Andy T. Let me know when you guys are close and we'll meet you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 If we skip the fry up with Adam's sheep at the Ponderosa, a picnic sounds like a good idea if the weather stays dry. I won't be able to bring any fresh food from down south, but I could nip to Tescos either late on Friday or first thing Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 why whats up with it Mike ? nothing serious i hope ! Cheers -Ian- You and me both mate, The engine bay is coated with coolant, I've obviously got a leak somewhere, not sure whether it's Rad, water pump, or split hose at the moment, so need to get it looked at. It's not obvious where it's from, as it seems to only leak under load/pressure. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havard Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Are people still meeting up at J27 on the M6 on Saturday morning, or is the Chester Services the first meeting point? Havard/ Anyone meeting up for a pint the night before? Just to clear this up. I think a meet at around 8.15 Saturday morning at the BP station at J27 is in order. This is round the corned from Ste D and also probably my best way of getting to the M6 from Bolton way. We will get to Chester services in 45 mins from there! Also I will clean the car on Friday evening and was then thinking of having a pint/bite to eat at the Charnley Arms at about 7.30. Anyone interested?? H.

hoff Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Paul, do you want to put a list of times we will be expecting to all be meeting. Just as a definative answer and so there is no confusion? I'd do it but not got a clue how long it takes you guys to get over;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd do it but not got a clue how long it takes you guys to get over;) Ians suggestions are ok with me: i Dont know about anybody else but times ? Chester Services at 9am Chan's Station Stop-Off at about 9:30am 1. juanchan Ponderosa Cafe at 11am (although my place to the Ponderosa is about half an hour usually....) 1. hoff Picnic (area unkown) about 1pm Pancake House 4-5pm 1. Pancakes and maple syrup If camping either set up before Pancake House or after ? [ camping looks to be around the £5-6 per person per night ] Just a rough idea on times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I'll give everyone (mainly Andy though ) advanced warning that I've not cleaned my car since Japfest and I'm unlikely to before Saturday due to football, snowboarding holiday sorting and driving a couple of miles ooop north Also, my offside front sidelight is out, so I need to change the bulb. Given I'm still trying to persue a claim through insurance for this chav reversing into me, I'd rather not remove the headlight. Any of you guys coming along on Saturday ever changed a bulb without removing the whole light and fancy giving me a hand if/when we stop for a picnic? Thanks in advance!

juanchan Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Im sure between us we can manage it if you've got the bulb:) I'm hoping so, but I've not tried changing the bulbs without removing the entire headlight before, and searching on here suggests it can be fiddly and a bit of a PITA Also, marc, if you're heading over from Yorkshire, you'll be following a similar route to the lancs folk once you hit the M56 at least, so you might be able to meet up with them before the Ponderosa.
