Any one still meet at Guys Court on the A6 near Garstang?
Been out of the rx world for a bit but she`s having MOT tomorrow so we`re back! woo!
Sometimes mate yeah. Not been for a while though. Tis about time we sorted another one really. Maybe over the bank holiday weekend or something.
How about sorting a meet for in a months time? Just I\'m looking at getting a new car so would be good to have it in time ;)
Would be fun, car is almost done :D
Shaun
How about the last bank holiday in May on the Sunday, Should have mine back on the road by then as well fingers crossed lol.
Fine with me. Does someone want to start a new thread?
Neil, what new car?

Yeah Neil what new car, have you been keeping something from us :D
More to the point, can I have your FD if your going to be driving something else?
Id be up for coming... No car as of yet, busy paying for mrs car that\'s just arrived, but seriously thinking of an FD now.. Been putting it off for ages, but seeing one in action over weekend has definitely made my mind up.. The sound :drool:
Haha, it\'s a surprise ;) Not sorted it yet but should be doing this week and mine is up for sale if you\'re interested :D
The suspense is killing me :-)

30th May then people?
Mot passed ! just got to tax her on tues :2Rolleyes
30th is good for me although Guys might not be so good for my new car as the entrance isn\'t great from what I remember, although i dont remember that well lol. Anyone think of anywhere flatter?
how low is it ( what ever you have bought ! )

The 30th is good for me to will more than likely be in the 8 as the 7 might not be ready. From what I can remember there was a ramp in the rest was flat, How low is the new toy. My be Shaun could help with anywhere near by that\'s more flat?
I\'ll have a think :D
Shaun
Don\'t think its too bad at Guy\'s. Maybe the transition to the flat at the bottom but I don\'t think its too bad.
I\'ll have to see if I can make it nearer the time. Should be ok though.
Well Shaun is kindly giving me a hand to go down and pick it up on Saturday so I\'ll have a better idea just how much clearance there is as I\'m just going off memory from when I went to view it a couple of weeks bak. I remember my fd caught though and this is definitely lower than that. I\'ll maybe drive it over and see at the weekend as my Mum lives near there anyway so i can always pop round to show off the new car!
The plot thickens can\'t wait to see what you have got mate
guys entrance - slight dip then small speed bump, not that bad. My transit manages it a couple of times a month ha ha ! Overflow carpark has no bumps i seem to remember but i can never be bothered to walk that far!
Well after 23 hours on the road with only 2 hours sleep my new car is here and safely tucked up in the garage.
As for the meet does anyone fancy making it a trip to york raceway?
I was already looking at going but there is also this thread: http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=64229
oh and in the way of a preview lol this was us at stansted feeling very tired and about to head home :) (though on the back of an AA truck as the water pump failed on my A4)

Ah man that sucks. It must have been a hard day. Still you got a bad ass FC out of it so it ain\'t all bad:)
Whats with the red bonnet BTW?
Yeah it was a bit hard, really only just caught up with sleep properly now! Good job it was a bank holiday ;)
Red bonnet is because the carbon bonnet got broken when the bonnet pins failed at speed on track and it folded over the roof. Think John said it happened at about 150mph so it was lucky not to be worse. For now I\'ll prob just paint the standard bonnet and see about getting a replacement carbon one later in the year when my finances recover a bit lol.
thought it looked like Johns car
didnt realise you was looking for a FC - cant wait to see it in the flesh
you need to get some more pics up ( and a spec list ) - unless you havent already posted already
Glad you didn\'t ask me in the end, blooming long day !!!
Going to be awesome, just get cadwell booked :D

True. Get the track day booked.
Original ad here (http://www.mazdarotaryclub.com/forums/showthread.php?t=59276) with spec list and some more pics.
Will look to get track day booked soon, car needs a couple of things sorting first though.
so have you got this AND the FD ?
Quote from: grinder;691986so have you got this AND the FD ?
Nah, although that would be cool lol. John now has my FD and when I dropped it off he had already been ordering some parts so I think he has plans for it :Giggle
ahhhhhhhhhh - will be nice to have a serious spec\'d FC in these parts :D
Glad you got back in the end ok with the new motor Neil looks great did not realise that you was looking for an FC, as Stu said can\'t wait to see it in the flesh.
Is the meet still on at the end of the month?
Cheers marcus.
I\'m ok to make that weekend.
Who else is coming?
Who up for the meet then on Sunday 30th May, Please add your name below to see how many people are interested.
marcusd666
najiru
Hmmm not looking so good
Considering York raceway on the Monday. Although this may be safer, don\'t want to break the FD before Cadwell :Giggle
Shaun
If you break the FD then you could bring the FB :)
Not sure if I\'ll make this one or not. I\'ll probably decide on the day. If I can\'t make it in the RX I\'ll try and come down with the family in the Focus (boo hiss!)
Bump Bump anybody else up for the meet ????
What time? It looks like im ok to attend as long as I have done a few jobs on the car first.
I\'m easy, how about 1:30pm should give everybody plenty of time to get there it is a bank holiday after all :)
I\'ll try my best to attend too. Get a few more miles on the new brakes :D
Shaun
Sounds good to me. It\'ll give me more time to fettle with the FC in the morning.
right we are on then looking forward to catching up its been a long time lol
Still crossing my fingers I make it into the car park ok
don\'t worry we can all sit in the boot if you want to get the front up lol
this weather isnt looking good :(
Forecast is better for Sunday :D
Shaun
Hey Stu if you come any chance you could bring that ABS ECU I gave you a while back. I need to rule out my ecu as the problem or not.
Yeah weather should be ok tomorrow :D
what time are we all planning for i know i suggested 1:30pm but i am easy with what everybody else wants to do.
1:30 is good for me, unless we want to go earlier and get food?
I want to come but took battery out to make space for new rad and haven\'t had time to relocate it to boot yet, I\'m also down the road at myercough with the misses in the morning. I\'m gonna try get there if I can but not in rx :-(
we still on for this ?
Yep I\'m just about to set off :D
Was great to meet up again guys
Neil your new motor looks great and sounds even better you have done really well there :Thumbsup! Just a shame I did not have time to go for a spin in it with you.
Just standing in the car park with you taking Stuart out was good.
Was an experience seeing what it can do. It is quick in a smooth relentless way ! Can\'t wait till Cadwell :D
Great to see everyone again, we should do this more often :Giggle
Shaun
Yeah sorry I missed this Guys. Really wanted to make it today too. Bloody FC need soooooooo much work at the moment. Although I hope most of it is done now. Roll on Cadwell.
Here are some pictures that I took from last Sunday sorry there was no more.
