Yes we had a good time..sorry to have stolen the prize (not me personally) was good to.have met a few new faces too and look forward to invading from the north once more!

On route now..so abour half6 to 7 im guessin

Ive split the pins, as stated in the workshop manual, ive had no leakage issues since...also I found it not a nightmare...although you need to ensure you knocking them out at a certain angle...i believe theyll foul on the box casting in certain places..also, if yoy do take the shafts out, replace the driveshaft seals...not a hard job, but will ensure no leakage from old seals upon refitment of the shafts...

Definately go for.the wider look...the s4 has a similar visual as the spoiler is smaller and half way up the boot it gives a low, wide impression..whereas those sweeping v8 wings tend to add a taller look...its all a visual illusion

Trev, as always your right...although its Ian's turn to choose the location...ill bring the.video of the the last one you asked for..you know..the extended uncut one? :-P

A regular haunt of urs?... Ive heard rumors of what goes on down there...

As Ian and I are heading down the m40, is there somewhere any of you guys meet up before hand to travel down, or are you all solo flyers..

Yes well said! Pressures on now...as for dirty cars by the time weve run the m40 in the rain they wont be shiny...

1/ Trevsked (Evora) 2/ Sparky (Best GT3 ever) 3/ Internets (Second best GT3 ever) 4/ Wookie (S5 Esprit) 5/ Skiing (Most Expensive S3 Ever). 6/ Dave Freeman (Lowest and least mobile SE ever) 7/ Hopo (s3 turbo) 8/ Dodge (S4 the yellow terror) 9/ Palmergeddon (S4 the blue new boy) We couldnt let you Esprit boys get together without a representation from the Midlands Massive now could we

Subject to work I may well be in attendance...as ive said every month this yr, ill go next month...

This is starting to look like an Esprit meet..be carefull you may be tared with my brush!

As always we're there!

Many thanks to those who made it...those that didnt were missed by all...special thanks to oneshot and lady for being well organised :-D. It was a good afternoon...

Dont forget boys n girls...table.booked.for.12, from the general consensus were aiming to arrive at quarter to 12... See you all there!

Wel at the emd of.the day this unit is the only proven one...but just because there are manufacturing difficulties at the moment it doesnt mean it could never happen?surely....

Are.you bringing her.to lunch on the 2nd?!

To recap, the table is.booked.for 12 bodies at 12 noon! The menu is traditional sunday offerings plus alternatives, however if anyone does want a Christmas menu ive been told its a book in advance what you want affair..if anyone does want this youll need to let me know this week..other than that, if anyone cant make it please let me know in advance out of courtesy...id hate for us.to be sitting there rumbling tummies waiting!.. The address is The red lion Main street Hunningham Cv339dy

Just an eagle eyed note...in the pic of the rear setup (says 'right' on the disc) I hope its a funny camera angle, because both calipers do not look like theyre sitting central and lined up correctly with the disc..like theyre slightly at an angle or off centre...noticable by the inner edge of the calipers relation to the centre bell...also, any reason for having the handbrake on top?

Nnnoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

Well the front indicators being the wrong way round isnt something to worry over, palmergeddon's 93 s4 also has them that way round for some reason..maybe the very first few did? Side marker lights...maybe fitted if the car was a promo one, due to use abroad? Brakes will be down to either lack of use, as mentioned, or as they will be the delco system they would probably need work on them to get the system back functioning as it should...not difficult or expensive, but a common problem ive tackled a few times now.. Also, in the service file when was the last major service? Regardless of its mileage, if its 3 years or more its overdue and you should be negotiating a drop in price based on it...most thorough specialists will take a grand off you for it...its not just a cam belt...waterpump rebuild everytime too along with all ancillary belts, and the usual fluids etc..

Top stuff alex, looking forward to meeting you..just nigel left to hear...

Ok ive booked the red lion at hunningham...its a great place with excellent food (and beer. ;-) ) table booked for 12 so we can either arrange to meet there then, or if anyone is.unsure where it is they can head over my way and follow me in... Its not far from our breakfast meet location. Sunday menu has all the traditional choices and a few extras if anyone doesnt want that.... Their website is www.redlionhunningham.co.uk for details and directions. So to recap those definately going... 1. Dodge1979 +1 2. Changes +1 3. Chris v8 +1 4. Oneshot +1 5. Palmergeddon +1 And for.those possibilities, can you please let me know asill need to adjust table size in plenty of time as this is an extremely popular venue! Alex-gt3 Nigel

Take a read of my thread in this section on getting the delco brake system workin properly...and for a lot less than the system from Australia....its not a difficult fix to do if your competent...a lot of the views on this system are misguided and uninformed and panicky....the time I spent sorting mine out shows how it can be done and at a very reasonable price too....

Having watched this evening the film for the first time in...what..15 years...how cool is it! The Esprit looks fresh and modern and the gadgets are every owners requirement!

Alternatively, you can take.out the bolts and.dip the heads in 'plasti-dip' a liquid rubber comes in a tin...dries, well, like a.rubber coating...
