heeys! Hope the meet was good yesterday, sorry I didn't come!

I was just goin to the petrol station yesterday to fill up for the meet as I was running a bit low, and I took my mum with me so she could put it on her card in the fast-serve petrol thing (My window doesn't wind down at the moment, and it's kind of awkward to have to get out the car and run to the drive-through booth thing), so she filled it up and we were driving back, then going into my road an unpleasant sound and smoke pouring out the back, distinct loss of power and conking out a few hundred yards from my house! Pushed it the rest of the way home, checked the oil-level and all that jazz because I thought it impossible for my mother to be daft enough to fill it with Diesel, but after everything looked fine, had a whiff of the fuel tank and well, gave my mother one of 'those' kind of looks (Don't quote this and twist the semantics of this shifty!). So I'll be draining that tonight, and next time I'll have fixed the window, the speedo, a fuel tank of PETROL and will be at the meet

Soooooo much material!!

I can't really comment as I have recently put diesel in Poo!!!

No glove no love baybeeee!!

[Rossyboy]

must be an 'old age' thing, honestly..

syphoned it out in the end, house reeks of Diesel now and it's nicely fermenting in a big tub in the back garden for the time being until I figure out how to get rid of it Should probs all evaporate after couple of days anyway if we get some more of that lovely sun!

Hi as mentioned at the last meet, the Midland breakfast Club meet thing is on at the Air museum on the 26th of April. I hope to have the mini sorted by then and be it the damn thing.

Any takers??????

[Whistles GT]

Can't go the Brekkie Club meet this weekend unfortunately, but should be there at the next Horseshoes night.

[Shifty]

Don't forget the meeting this WEDNESDAY.

I may have some spare stand places for Himley hall this weekend, any one interested?

[Whistles GT]

Yeah, I might be up for it. PM the details or tell me at the pub on Wednesday. And I'm only bringing pocket change to the pub so I don't end up with a Shifty bargin!

[Shifty]

I now accept credit AND debit cards!!

Its this Sunday at Himley hall.

We can have a chat about it on Wednesday.

[Whistles GT]

Hi folks. Playing footy for work on Wednesday night so might not make it.

Will try and get there 8ish. Mini is starting so I'd be in the Mundaneo anyway - narrowed it down to the solenoid i think. Lets hope so as it's much cheaper than a new starter motor!

[Shifty]

No probs Chris, you beat me to bumping this thread!!!


If you want me to take a look at it with you, you only have to ask!!

(I promise not to set fire to it!!)

So any hoo, meet this Wednesday peeps!!!

Shifty,

Thanks. I picked up a solenoid this morning so I'll give that a go first. If that fails I'll ask everyone else, including my neighbours dog. If that fails, I'll take you up on your offer!!

Hopefully see you at the pub.

[Shifty]

Ok then, Cannon Hill park show, 21st June.

I've got a clubstand organised for this, who's up for it?

[Whistles GT]

Yes, I'm in subject to getting the blooming thing to start!

Solenoid didn't fix it (last time I listen to the neighbours dog) so I have one more thing to check tonight then I will be eating humble pie and asking for your help!

[Shifty]

I've got the spoon at the ready!!!
