Gaydon Meeting

[grottybags]

Getting back on topic ;) , Andrew is hoping to have the Starlet Turbo engine in the Sera that he'll be bringing.

That is, if I let him avoid the decorating jobs that I've got for him.

What's the concensus of opinion here, decorating or engine converting? ;)

Like I can't guess

[toyotasera.co.uk]

Anyone for a decorating party in Norwich? :D :)

Sera / Starlet Turbo engine swap progress:

ready - manual gearbox linkage

ready - new clutch for Starlet

ready - brake pedal

ready - clutch pedal

[TheNissanMan]

NOrwichis a bit far but my vote goes with the conversion, you should setup a new poll

[Carlgolsby]

indeed, like you really needed to ask!

[grottybags]

Well, I feel I do actually ;)

We've lived there 3 years next month. Only one room has been decorated in that time. The others are looking really tired.

I would do it myself, but I'm not allowed.

Okay, if decorating is no-one's bag, how about a Norwich "throw an engine in another car" party instead? ;)

[TheNissanMan]

If it was a Decorating Party I could bring the new car over and people could paint that as well. (see post Carl is God).....

[Nicola]

I might be able to go...woohoo

[+Steve]

thats great nicola!

we have reached the 200 cars level already!

[TheNissanMan]

yay another MR2, am trying to get a MK1 Supercharger there for the day aswell, went for a spin in it last night and omg does it drift around those corners, bit scary over taking cars while the front of the car is pointing directly at them, glad it wasn't me behind the wheel....

(Not my driving btw)

[Carlgolsby]

so as i write we have 6 confirmed from a possible 12 – is that all? :(

Didn't you realise TOC only has 12 active members....

[+Steve]

Well.. I am hoping to have a surpise turn up... rmember brooklands Ryan!

[TheNissanMan]

Does it involve Dominguez the mexican pimp and friends ??

[grottybags]

I don't know if Andrew has signed us in on the Lexus site as going. He should really as we'll be in his car.

[TheNissanMan]

Just had a look on the LOC site and seems to be a pretty good turn out...

Last year was pretty good turn out from LOC and the Sera's although TOC was a lot quieter than it is now. I will try and get some of the photo's up if I manage to get home at any point in the next 3 weeks.

Honda already have 150 cars or so, it would be a good chance for TOC to get out and about and have a good spread of marques on display....

[dosenöffner]

Back from Ireland with plenty of mud on the car. Again, as with the Goodwood meet, I will be competing for the dirtiest don't give a monkies car section.

Can meet on the A3 Carl. I'll be in the brown ST205 (also available in black). Just wish the other half was that dirty.

[TheNissanMan]

Think I might be able to compete in the dirtiest car exterior this time around....

Now running twin-tone brown and red, with a brown body kit which widens the bottom of the car by 2 inches either side, bit of a cheap job as it tends to fall off at high speeds....

[jimma]

Jimma will no longer be attending this one due to RTA today, getting the company Clio written off (at least every cloud has a silver lining!!!) and my back all in one hit, I WILL get to one of these meets one day!!

:) :o :(

[TheNissanMan]

Sorry to hear about the RTA, hope your not to badly injured...

[Carlgolsby]

yes, a speedy recovery to you.
