Hi guys, just received an update from the organisers regarding adhering to protocols for Sunday:

 

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THERE WILL BE A RANDOM CAR BOOT INSPECTION TAKING PLACE AT THE CAR CLUB ENTRANCE AND GATE 6 FOR EXHIBITORS, THIS IS TO COMPLY WITH ALL SAFETY REGULATIONS COVERING COMBUSTIBLES AND ALCOHOL MEASURES, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LOTHIAN AND BORDERS POLICE AND EDC.

Guys you are all doing an amazing job esp Preston and John. Coming to my car, I dont think it can make it to the show. I wanted to get a quick spray done on the car but never managed to get it done as I was stuck with some urgent business. Also my car is mostly stock in terms of power. I dont think it would look good for the MKIV club to put my car with all your supes. Probably it will be ready for next year. If I bring my car this year all you can hear is the grunt of a V8 engine. So let me know what you guys think... whether it should be on the stand with other supras or not. (Just to remind you the MKIV supra is made totally from the ground up on a soarer chassis and subframes)

 

The following are the upgrades I have done on the car until now and the ones completed dont improve the performance but only reliability and handling.

Mate, don't be silly! Your car looks great and would be missed if you're not there having seen that post. Everyone mods their car for different reasons, if my spec sheet had only mods I'd done there would be 1! Thats Do-Luck brake lines, haha

 

I'll do you a sheet when I get home from work...

[marcAB10]

Agreed, more than welcome bud.

[drift_bear]

mustang - awsome job!! owe you for doing that!!

 

edinlexusV8 - come along would look good to see it with us! your power lever is still good (you forget there will be a few N/A's aswell, including me)

[mustang]

Cheers Alex, its a cracking photo, the car really stands out. And its such a nice colour

Edited July 15, 2010 by marcAB10 (see edit history)

if i get you a photo for tomorrow dude, can you print me one off also?

[mustang]

Sure Geo, no problem

[Geo]

Sure Geo, no problem

 

cool bud

 

cheers

[L18msy]

Bring the soarer and dont be daft! Mustang you have done a great job.

[Geo]

Liam/Raz

 

Where do you fancy meeting???

[James]

Me perhaps being overly picky would have also pointed out Marc's 340 (341.5 infact ) not being at the wheels, and also, just to be perfect about it - on Geo's spec, Ridox only has 1 d, so it isn't "Riddox". That's being arsey though

[raz]

hey Geo/Liam I dont mind were we meet up, I stay 5 mins away from Braehead, Liam where would you prefer to meet up ?? If we meet up at braehead we could get the motorway straight up to edingbrough that way or i dont mind driving down to meet yous.

Thanks mate, thats exactly what I was looking for, I want them to be perfect! I'd changed Marc's but I'll correct Geo's now.

[James]

I'll look through the rest too

[mustang]

Heres the last 2 as well then...

 

Raz - will have an updated image though

 

edinlexusV8

[James]

For continuity - put that l18msy's spec says it is a W58 gearbox the same as Marc's.

 

Is your TRD speedo 320MPH or KPH?!

 

For Marc's spec, the colour is spelt "Chilli Red".

 

For Raz, Bomex has only one "o".

 

Think that's the lot!

[mustang]

Thanks man. Good proof reading

[SupraRider]

Ok guys, looks like we've got the spec sheets sorted. John, can you issue it to us on the day? just want to put in a reminder from my previous posts about meeting up.

 

This is what will happen:

Aberdeen folks meet - 5.00am (Marc & DriftBear)

meet me - 5.15am (SupraRider)

journey to dundee to meet John - 6.45am (mustang)

convoy together to Edinburgh, Esso Petrol Station - 7.45am (Geo, Raz & Edinlexus)

Meet 7.45am then make our way to Gate 6 by 8.15am (I'm sure there will be loads of cars queuing already).

 

heads up guys, I've just consulted with the organisers about our plans to reach by 7.45am with the hope to wash our cars down before settling into our positions and he said NO, won't be able to accommodate us to do that. He said we will need to be there by 7am if that we need to give it a quick wash down. Otherwise we will have to set our cars the way it is as there will be alot of cars moving in at that time and cannot afford to have wet cars in the stands.

 

So I suggest maybe you guys from Edinburgh / Glasgow to sort out your own washing down before we meet.

 

Aberdeen folks, maybe we should find a garage close enough before edinburgh to wash it down and then just polishing when we get inside?

Bring a Bucket, with bottled water to give the car a wash if neeed, means you can wipe it down inside etc.
