**Ammended **South East inaugural club meet and fix - Bexhill-on-sea Sept 8th 2012

[mamasboy]

Ammended now with new date - 8th September and location SEC autos(Seancars workshop grounds).
I must offer you all my apologies but i'm afraid I had a message from the school saying they had double booked their grounds and had to honour the first parties and their grounds were not available in the weeks after as it was term time.. Therefore Sean of Seancar fame has offered to clear his yard and allow us to use the grounds (which is why he cant do it for the origonal date due to only getting back of his hols a few days before the origonal date leaving him insufficient time to clear the yard), which although are not huge, are sufficient for our needs with ample parking available roadside on a very quiet cul-de-sac - not ideal but the best I can do at this time.
I'm very sorry if this upsets anyones plans and hope all can attend this new date.

We may struggle to have a T4 owner attend as eurorover was available specifically on the old date, however Ed (rover54) now has a T4 setup which he is quite new to and rapidly learning the ropes so he can support diagnosis at least on the day, unless between now and then he can master the box of wizardry! I will renew my appeal for a T4 owner to do xpower upgrades, IPK pairingect so watch this space.

Seans grounds are beside the school so the link below is still valid

So I am asking for as much support as possible from members new and old, near and far, male and less male:}.

Thus far we can ensure WC facilities and catering (BBQ) are taken care of but any suggestions for more facilities would be appreciated.

We also lack a T4 machine and magician in this area and would love for a T4 genius to attend and offer their magic services.

Sean has his workshop in very close proximity and on the day will have 2/3 mechenics at his disposal and will offer discounted labour rates on basic service items as follows:

1. Oil/Air/Pollen/Fuel filter changes
2. Brake pads and discs (fronts and rears)

He will also have a supply of service kits and timing belt kits to take away. He cant really do timing belts on the day but can take bookings.

A machine polish will be available, all Sean/Pete ask is you are responsible for washing the car beforehand (a hand car wash business is located within 100yrds of the meet if required). Pete polished mine a few months back and I was very pleased with the results, i'm embarrassed to go there now unless it looks pristine!

Sean also aims to have at least one if not two donor cars available on the day should anyone need parts immediatly, along with his vast stock of off the shelf parts.

He has asked me to let you know that his spray shop facility will be back up and running soon and his offer of bumpers sprayed and delivered at a very keen rate will be available for pre-order and can be fitted on the day so plan ahead and save yourself a lot of time and effort.

Please contact Sean direct for ideas of prices and give him an adea of what you may need on the day to ensure he has enough parts - I have nothing to do with Seans business (other than I live close and keep poping in to pinch the odd bit which he turns a blind eye to:bowdown:!)

As this is a new meet and i've never been to a meet before, I have no idea if there are club banners available for such an event but I have no MG/Rover memoribila to speek of so and offers of flags or banners to loan for the day would be gratefully recieved.

Also Steve (Arctic) , as you may all know, supplies re-conditioned and modified handbrake compensators. I have fitted one and it's a easy enough job thanks to Steves "How to". If anyone attending contacts Steve and has a compensator with them to fit i'll be glad to help with that and do the donkey work if needed. Please dont waste time with the regular chocolate metal OEM compensator - get Steves, it's better and cheaper in the long run. See this link for details:smilie_re:http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=115958&highlight=handbrake

Please let me know if you will be attending and I will keep a running list on this thread.

This is a good chance to form a great network of members in the region so please support it any way you can.:bowdown::bowdown:

So done. Sadly I can't make his one, as it's the day before the Club's National and I'll be up in Cumbria :}

Thread title date amended too.

[stevesav]

Not sure if I can make the new date:shrug: Had to jiggle work around to make the 25th:( Also not sure about roadside parking for a meet.

[eurorover]

I will still be in Eastbourne from August 23rd until the 28th. So if anyone does need Xpower upgrades or t4 work please email me

[email protected]

And I will meet up with you to sort it.

[FLYING BANANA]

I'm afraid you'll have to take me off of the list. I have a hotel booked for the National.

[Steve916]

Sorry, can't make the new date:(

[stevesav]

Sorry I cant make it either, working that weekend:(

[rover54]

I will be coming hopefully with a working T4, have had a few issues with the laptop, Brain has tracked it down to an iffy CD drive, it should be back with me early next week and then should have all systems ready to go. Probably will be seeing Brian in the next couple of weeks and I can iron out any issues with T4 operation that may arise. I have to thank Brain for helping me get a T4 up and running so I can help others.

As I have said to Bernard, I am more than happy to come down for your meets. Later on this year/early next year, Sean will be looking after my three cars as due to my poor health it is a task I can no longer do, so I will be coming to the south coast at least 3 times/year with the times spread out by 4 months apart. I have already suggested to Sean about helping him with his customers who need a T4 with any cash generated go to fund projects that help keep these cars on the road.

[courtman]

would loved to have been there as not met anyone apart Paul Savvides (who was really helpful when I was buying my R75), but sadly I'm away that weekend. Next one hopefully.

Just a quick bump for this as it's only a few weeks away and everyone is welcome....

[Fatman]

I'm planning on coming so I can finalise Sean's new web shop. Looking forward to it :D

[rover54]

T4 is up and running and will be come with me.

[seancar]

hi any members need discs and pads front and rear or cambelt kits or service packs please can they let me know so we have them all ordered and here

[Fatman]

Just a quick post to confirm if this meet is still going ahead before I book a hotel?

[mamasboy]

It certainly is, looking forward to seeing you there:}

[rover54]

When will it be starting (time), need to time my travel from London.

[mamasboy]

Kick off from 9am until such time as we all get fed up with rover 75's or MG ZT's:D

[greendriver]

Please add me in for this event:}

[rover54]

I suppose then it will be penalty a shoot out between the two teams ( 75 and ZT)

Good news, the more the merrier:)

[Fatman]

Premier inn booked, I'll get down by 11, drop Mrs Fatman off at the hotel and be round to Seans asap. :D

[roverdave1966]

Hi Bernard

Will be working Saturday, really want to make this meet. What time does it start?

Cheers
Dave

[mamasboy]

Hi Dave, hope you're keeping well, kick off at 9am and carry on until everyone's had enough! Be great if you can make it.

[pbaker]

As I said in the earlier post have been watching the sky's and it's looking goooood. shall be leaving Wansted 8.30/9.00 if any one wants to meet up. still looking for an updated list of attendees/numbers going.

[pob06]

Hi mamasboy, as per PM, very doubtful I can get there this weekend.

Sorry :(

Next one though :D

I'm afraid there is no list to update, I think making a list makes folk feel under pressure to attend. If you look through the posts you'll see who's planning to be there. From the response we've had I think it'll be well supported and looking forward to seeing you there :)

[Will.S]

I'm in Maidstone and will try to get down depending on work.
I have some bits that need spraying so will bring them (have contacted sean).
Don't know which car to bring as I have a ZT 160+ which I have been trying to sell for last two yrs since I got the 260!
Anyone think it's worth bringing that to try and find it a good home?
I've spent loads advertising it and started at 2999, now would take 1500:(, 48k, good condition etc:(

[Reebs]

Gents have a good one, sorry I couldn't make it...just a little bit busy oop North :getmecoat:

I'm sure it will be a tremendous success, and I hope you'll take plenty of pictures for us to admire.

Cheers,

Paul.

[Fatman]

Really enjoyed today good to meet everyone . Sean's shop is sorted and I got some bits I needed :D

[mamasboy]

Thanks to all who attended today, was great to have our 1st get together of hopefully many.
A special big thanks to Seancar for his hospitality. He made us all feel welcome and kept us fed and watered and without him it couldnt have happened:bowdown::bowdown:

Also a big thanks to Rover54 (Ed) for attending with his T4 and sorting out some problems for the gang.

I'll try to upload some piccys later or tomorrow

[seancar]

[greendriver]

Just to say massive thanks to Sean and the gang for sorting me out a replacement back box bracket and undertray and for all the advice Sean and Andy gave me on leaks etc. Identified some work, front pads, droplinks etc. and booked back in for the work in a few weeks.:bowdown::bowdown:

Also a big thank you to Rover54 for the T4 session in very warm and bright conditions! Another absolute star!:bowdown::bowdown:

And to those I met, and those who kept us all hydrated and bbq supplied!

This club and it's members continue to supply much valued support:}.

[mamasboy]

Sorry chaps, not uploaded any pics yet, SWMBO decided that after a Friday cleaning and polishing the rover, a Saturday standing about talking about rovers my Sunday was going to be spent going cold turkey tending the garden with no rover involvement (it was well overdue) leaving me with blisters and aches wher I never had before! I will get round to it early this week.

I forgot to give a mention to TK our BBQ expert and of course Sean's spanner handlers Fizz and Brid's, all of whom took care of our human motors and rover motors:D:D Thanks to all again for a great day.
