Pay Paul on the day is the usual thing.

Paul (reebs) should be along soon with the details Matt.
Cheers Ian

Can you put me down for this too?

As I am just down the road, it would be rude not to. :D

Hi Ian as far as I know you pay to Reebs when you enter the price is on the main page

Update

Operation and trial without catheter successful, great to be without one after 20 weeks, so I'll definitely be there!

Going to give the Practical Classics Show a miss this year so I've booked the Premier Inn for Saturday night and I'm going to take in Haynes on the way down to the hotel during the afternoon, if there's going to be a run out to Haynes let me know what time you'll be there and I'll try to meet up.

Legs still swollen but I've just started my medication and should be back to virtually 100% in the next few weeks.

Jim

Good to know you are on the road to recovery Jim. Take things easy and do as you are told. Be good to see you again.

Brilliant news Jim, I look forward to seeing you there :}.

Cliff

Can you put your names down for the Sat run to Haynes if you are going.

Cheers Bob it's been a long time coming, can't wait to get out and about again.

Thanks Cliff, I upgraded my camcorder to a FDR AX33 and was starting to think I'd never get round to using it.

Jim

Hi Ian,

Can you add me to the list. Thanks, Peter.

Rick

Hello Ian

Should also add I've paid for two tickets just now.

Rick

Thanks Rick, payment received :bowdown:

i still have my 75 and it will be doing stuff , but life gets in the way at times to any car events be they ROVER or MG or ..... but we plan to keep our cars going as long as we can , Bevs health at times can be a factor but we hope that it will be more stable in future . at some point soon plan to get the 75 paint work looked at , had planed last year but the MGF being hit by a BMW did rather mess up that idea as got that done along with the repairs ..... so a car saved from the scarp yard :}. fair to say i have spent a lot on the 75 over the years soon not planing letting it go even its a CDTI .. and i hope it will be at 75 events both here and in euroland ... :}

Anyone staying at the Ilchester Arms ... I'll be there Fri & Sat night :D.

Hi Keith yes I am staying there Fri Sat Sun also Rev Jules Sat and Sun I should be at the hotel about 3.00pm.

Hi reebs. Just paid, can you add me to your list please. :}

Thanks Adrian, no problem :cool:

This is the weekend of the NEC resto show, so wont be able to attend.

That’s a shame Tim, but understandable. I’ve taken you and your group of three off the list.

Please add to list 2 tickets paid for :}

Added you to the list Allen and it will be good to see you both again.
Cheers Ian

4 tickets just paid for :D
Chris

Ticket just paid for, many thanks :}

Thanks guys
I've marked you both as paid.
Just 2 weeks to go now and with 40 + cars it looks like a nice turn out for my last national meet.
Cheers Ian

Your last national.......have I missed something Ian ??? :shrug:

Not really missed anything.
For a couple of years I've been promising myself that I would get back to watching some motorsport and 2019 sees a young relative of my wife take part in a major British motorcycling championship so we've decided to have a break from 75 and ZT events and spend some time following his on track exploits.
Of course there's the Netherlands trip in September and the IOW weekend in December and we're looking forward to both of those events. But 2019 is probably the end for me as far as organising any club gatherings although we will no doubt still get to few meets in the future.
See you in a couple of weeks.
Cheers Ian

about the 24th March Meet / self car wash
 

Hey, my friends...

Here's a little question. As I will be haven driven quiet some distance, I will have to wash my car, upon arrrival. Does anyone know a self car wash in the neighbourhood of Ilchester, with a high pressure hose, to wash the car with. Kind of inserting tokens into the machine.

Many thanks in advance for the information.

Eric

:duh:

Tiger Wash Centre Yeovil BA22 7JE, near Sparkford . Based at Esso Garage just off Hazelgrove roundabout (A359)

2 tickets bought. Cheers Mark

What's happening with the Haynes Motor Museum meet on the Saturday is that still going still as I'm6 interested in that as well.:cool:

I think there are a few going Dave but I'm unsure how many mate.
Actros is the only one confirmed at the moment.
Cheers Ian

Even many don't go I'll still go just the same a few days off and making the most of it. :cool:

Haynes is a great museum, well worth a visit if you haven't ben before.

Cliff

In that case I'm6 going. :cool:

I'll be staying there, too ! I arrive on Saturday afternoon, and will stay for 1 night.

Hi Eric that will be seven of us at the last count.

Rev

Rev

Gorgious ! I am looking forward to meet you all!

Eric

Haynes had a Rover SD1 estate prototype years ago. Maybe still there.

Hi Ian, Windslore and I will be there tickets paid for.:}

There is a hand car wash in Ilchester opposite the Texaco fuel station. I haven't used it myself but have heard from colleagues that it is very good.

Super. Now i have 2 possibilities. Many thanks.!
But it's one I need with high pressure hose, working with tokens, so that I can do the washing myself....
Eric

Both added to the list Ian, it will nice to have a catch up.
Regards ian

In that case I'm going too check this out. :cool:

You and your car could get on film
 

I've just had a call from John Clancy who is in the process of producing a new DVD all about the Rover 75, and he's bringing his cameras to the National on Sunday :cool:

John in association with AR On-line has been researching the idea of a new documentary about the R40 for some time and it is now in the process of becoming a reality. See this article from AR On-line :smilie_re: R40 DVD Gets The Green Light.

He wants to film our members cars and perhaps interview a few owners about their cherished chariots, so if you'd like to possibly feature in the DVD, why not give your car an extra polish and don't be shy if he comes up to you for a chat, you never know :cool2:


Here is a taste of John's work on youtube

John came to our stand at last years NEC and spoke to Tim and myself about doing the film.
And he is a neighbour of mine here in Cornwall.

Pity Banana will not be out of the paint shop.

He said, he’d seen the Banana in the paint shop, one that he has used himself in the past, so I have no doubt your yellow one will end up in the DVD at some point Bob :cool:

Which car are you bringing this time? Pooky or Red?

Be bringing the Bear on Sunday. Be travelling up with the Southwest Crowd.
Redfive is flying the flag on Saturday with the MGOC at Lands End.

A shame Banana won't be ready for the National. Will she be coming to Clandon this year? Really can't wait to see her after the bodyshop have worked their magic :drool4:.

Cliff

Hoping to make the Clandon show with Banana. Will try to get a few more from the Southwest to join us in honour of John and Alan.

Hi Ian,
Can you please add me in with my V8 Tourer . I am purchasing a ticket there as I am bringing my autistic son and I will be free as his carer .
Many thanks

Emergency problem - please call me
 

Hi,
I arrived 2 h ago in England. I have a technical engine problem. In urgency, my cranckshaft pulley has to be changed. Part number is LHG1000750 . It seems nobody in the region of Maidstone, where I am now (I am at Maidstone Services on M20) can help me. Which garage can help me. It seems to be a job of 2 till 3 hours. Can someone phone me for help. Or text me on my mobile, then I will call back. My mobile number is +32/475/76.18.92. Help is much appreciated.
Best regards,
Eric

mobile number of paul or ian g - emergency
 

Can please someone text me e mobile number of Paul or Ian
mmobile number is +32/475/76.18.92
In hope for receiving help.

best regards,
Eric

Ian G Mobile 07835415904
Ian is contacting Ceedy who has just bought pulley and tool to see if he can bring it to National Meet.

Eric, see Peters last message and could you get recovered to Yeovilton?
Good luck.

OK
I've spoken to Ceedy the parts are available but it's no small job to change it without airgun or 3/4 drive and 4 foot bar then belt etc if we come against a problem on at a meet on Sunday where do we go from there not that I've ever done one
Apparently you can still drive it so if Eric is at Maidstone his best bet would probably be to try to return home.
Yes getting it repaired can be done of course but I suspect it would mean a stay of a couple of extra days in the UK.
Ian
