This is a combined MRC and RX8OC event

I\'ve just spoken to Tony at Wheels in Motion and organised for us to have a club day at WIMs new Milton Keynes facility. In addition to the chance to get your wheels properly aligned a couple of us will also be there doing compression tests.

The date for this will be Sunday 2nd September so you have plenty of time :)

In addition to this there is an open day next Sunday (3rd June 2012) which everyone is welcome to attend. Full details HERE

More info:

On arrival everyone will be given a raffle ticket, throughout the day numbers will be called and the owner with that ticket will get a free geometry check and adjust. The aim on the day is to get through as many cars as possible :)

You know how shy and retiring I am :rollin

Welcome from me too Steve. :wave

I saw your posts over on the OC and I\'m interested in this (haven\'t paid up on the OC yet so wasn\'t sure if I was allowed to add my name to the list :Giggle ). Are you going to start a list here?

PS - I used to work in Sawbridgeworth, fab drive to and from Baldock on the twisty back roads. :driving

Hi Anne,

Yes a list would be good so we get an idea how many are going. As you\'ll probably be the first name on it I\'ll let you start it :)

Are you coming along to the open day this sunday as well?

There are some good roads round here, I like the Crooked Mile between Harlow and Waltham Abbey.

nice one Steve, didn\'t know W.I.M had or had planned a branch in MK, extremely handy and something I\'ve been wanting to get done for some time :)

Cheers Phil

Just check the facility location which is literally round the back of my house. Definitely spent a 10 mins walk and have a look this Sunday. Cheers Steve

How did it all go then? Sadly couldn\'t make it, although a friend of mine in a black FD popped down there the day before and had his geo setup... said it all looked good :)

Will be in touch at some point when I need my geo sorting :)

Guys this meet is postponed due to illness, hopefully I\'ll be able to post a new date (later in September) early next week. I\'ll also be posting details of the raffle prizes :-)
