[Grumpy1]

Any chance of re-programming my fobs please Russ? They haven't worked since BCU was replaced to cure phantom window opening problem. Apparently a bar code has to be created? :shrug:

Something completely different - my shannon tube has disintegrated (surprise surprise! :D). I've got a tube but I just can't crawl round on the floor anymore due to arthritis! :mad: Will anyone be able to do this please? I'm not looking for f.o.c. work. Quite willing to pay but don't know anyone locally and certainly don't trust garages! :eek:

put me down plzz too

[donnylad]

if the cars running I will try and get there on the Saturday!

[HarryM1BYT]

One of the forum members attending the meeting (minty2) is collecting an handbrake compensator on route to the meet, intending to fit it at the meet and drop his old one off on the way back home, to get a cash refund on his deposit. I wonder if there might be others attending the meet and in need of their compensator changing?

I'm thinking - you make the usual 2x payments via paypal (£8 + £25 deposit), Minty2 then collects all of them together and also returns them for you on the way back. Which saves you the cost return P+P and you get your £25 refunded on the day.

Please note, it is first come first served - my stock is limited. The usual rule of enquiring by direct email applies please, rather than PM.

[Grumpy1]

Great idea. If someone will fit this for me please, I'm definitely up for it. My handbrake lever does lift quite high, so I assume it needs doing. :shrug: :bowdown:
I'm embarrassed about asking for things to be done, but I just can't manage many jobs myself these days. :mad:

Cheers,

Chad. :}

PS I'm going to be away from my computer for a few hours now so please don't think I'm ignoring any replies.

Chad.

[minty2]

Harry tells me that you're also hoping to install his handbrake mod during the weekend. Do you want me to pick one up for you on the way down on Saturday? I'll be there before noon hopefully. I intend following Harry's guide. Please reply to my standard email address please ([email protected]).

Put me down for the Saturday please Brian.

Chad. :}

[HarryM1BYT]

Harry tells me that you're also hoping to install his handbrake mod during the weekend. Do you want me to pick one up for you on the way down on Saturday? I'll be there before noon hopefully.

The mods will delete your email addy, so I'll pass it on to Grumpy1 on your behalf. Yes he was hoping there would be someone there to help do the swap and I suggested he might want to partner up with you at the meet.

Payment sent Harry.

Thanks a lot.

Chad. :}

[HarryM1BYT]

Payment sent Harry.

Thanks a lot.

Chad. :}

It was you! :}

It really needed to be two separate payments of £8 + £25 so I could just do you a straight forward refund on the £25, thus avoiding Paypal's charges when I repay you. Never mind, leave it as it is and I'll sort it out somehow.

Anyone making Paypal payments for compensators please note the payment and the deposit need to be two completely separate payments please. It doesn't work if you make one single payment. That enables me to refund the deposit of £25 with no extra Paypal charge.

[pab]

Just noticed my name is not on the list..

Bit far for me to get back lads, sorry :)

[HarryM1BYT]

Just to remind everyone....

These spanner meets are a great opportunity to get your handbrake system up to scratch....

I still have a few modified handbrake compensators in stock here. A couple of compensators are making there way down to the meet, for changing during the weekend, but a few more can be arranged providing they are paid for in advance. They are cheap as chips, a low cost fix for a potential MOT failure.

Details below, in my sig..

[minty2]

I'll probably be camping O/N Sat.

[stocktake]

Any pictures boys and girls? Its a little to hot here to be searching about for them :D Still 26 degrees in the bar.........

The good news is that it is dry this morning if rather grey. I was woken up at 4.00am to a load of noise from Brians tent, when i plucked up the courage to look out of the window there he was battling with a baby fox that was trying to gain access to his tent!! Imagine how disappointed it would have been should it have succeeded! Very funny though. :D

Haha...would've loved to have seen that...there was no fear of him wrestling with a Beaver in his tent at that time ;).Not with that smile :D:D

Brian attracting attention, again. :}

[Nige B]

Enjoyed the day , talking to a few members i'd not met until today.Unfortunately not as many as expected ( which is a shame )..but the ones who made the effort have to commended.Big thank you to andy Willi :bowdown: for sorting my droplinks , and to the guys for the coffee / teas :bowdown:.This is really a great meet that is in danger of being discontinued due to lack of attendees.This would be a great loss to the calendar as its one of the better meets I have attended , run by the friendliest bunch you could wish to meet.
PLEASE DON'T LET THIS FIXTURE END....

[cjdonny]

Nice to meet a few people

THIS MEET WILL NEVER END

I WILL TAKE IT ON AS I STARTED IT

HELP WILL BE NEEDED


GET YOUR NAMES DOWN TO HELP

as for today brilliant.
attendance small and the rain did not help but we must carry on this is one of the best meets we have you can get your car repaired for free by the people that know and it really gets to me that it was not well attended.

but in the true British grit we must go on.

i will sort another meet next year and start a post on it soon .

there will be changes entry fees will be by on line orders so no ticket no entry as some attendees wont pay

we are after all supporting the museum and they need the money they have bent over backwards to help and i think we have let them down and are now taking the pi--

many thanks for all that attended today


andy

[whitegold]

Really enjoyed yesterday as usual, great bunch of guy's. Must admit I had similar concerns to Nigeeb but was very glad to read Andy's comments, really hope this meet keeps going, it's superb.
Big thank's to Russ for sorting my key problem and T4 session and not forgetting Nigeeb for the mirror bit's. Like I said, great meet and great guy's-- forget the weather we can't alter that:}:} Looking forward to next year now!!
Thank's again to all who organised it.

[oldcarguy]

Really would liked to have attended but the wife is very ill and is on oxygen 24/7. Some of you will know her from previous meets, trundling round on her mobility scooter.

[rosswalki]

I have just arrived at the museum to attend the meet and nobody is here! I should have read the posts before I set off but here now so I may as well have a look round the museum! Hope to attend the next meet, hopefully on time and on the right day though haha!

Rosswalki

[maxi_crawf]

I know I am only a newbie to these meets (although I have been a member of the forum since 06) but the club is the members and if we don't turn up for these events there will be no club, every time I have attended I have learned something new,
even if we don't actively do things like organising and running things, turning up and taking part makes it all worthwhile.

Learn something new, save money ey-up ;) , keep the cars running :bowdown: and meet new friends :chat:

[ssizefive]

despite the turnout & poor weather i still had a good weekend although i am glad that all the food for the bbq had not been pre ordered as it has in the past or we would have been majorly out of pocket, Thanks to Actros ( The Fox Whisperer :D:D) for arranging the meet & to everybody else that attended for making it an enjoyable day.

Steve.

[EastPete]

It is such a shame to hear of the poor turnout for this event- I only became aware of it when idly browsing through the forum yesterday. I am just south of Peterborough, about 90 minutes from Doncaster, so would have loved to come and get one or two niggles on my car looked at. Perhaps for the next spanner meet, it should be more widely publicised around the surrounding regions (being in Cambridgeshire, I do not think I belong to any region - it is a question of gate-crashing one of the neighbouring region meets - Lincs./Norfolk etc. There do not seem to be many members in Cambs).

Keep up the good work

Pete
:}

[Delirious]

hello all, very sorry I couldn't make it, my health went down hill again and ive been laid up ever since, im also sorry to hear the turnout has been a little poor also, so as im now fixed finally, I just wanted to say that I WILL be at the next meet with you boys and girls and im looking forward to seeing you all again soon
cheers guys
Kev

[James.uk]

Maybe all meets should be published far more widely, I see no good reason for only advertising them locally .. innit.. :)

[Kyletrek]

When is the next meet?

[mickfgr2]

Are there any spanner & family meets at Doncaster organised for the near future? I missed the last one but very much enjoyed the ones i attended before. thanks Mick
