254575

As I posted a while back the venue I can arrange is Cheriton Fitzpaine Football Club (close to EX17 4HB) just off the A3072 from Tiverton to Crediton, about 10 miles out of Exeter.  Not quite as remote as Saabnut's but out in the sticks.  It is far enough away from houses that we shouldn't be causing aggravation.
 
June seems to be clear of both bank and school holidays so the motorways heading south should be as manageable as they ever are.  So, any chance of getting a concensus on which weekend it should be?  Can someone more IT adept than me put up a poll for this?
 
The FA cup is on 18th May so the local football season should be finished and if the date is decided well in advance we can get it blocked off so we don't get allocated a home game that day if the season over runs.
 
It seems probable that the village maidens won't be having their 50th birthdays party at the Football Club, and the birthday of the the maiden who is a Club Committee member is in August.
  
Going on attendance at SFs 17 and 18 there should be enough room for hard standing parking with overflow onto the 5-a-side area where tents can be.  The Club house has toilets, showers, bar (£2.80/pint at the moment, but mostly lager as that is what footballers swill down their necks) and kitchen (this subject to the kitchen ladies being happy about the use of "their" domain).
 
Suggested £5 a night per car.
 
Local attractions:  the farm shop down the road for the all day breakfast;  Sandford Orchards for cider; Moretonhampstead Motor Museum for adventuring down single track roads to get there,
 
I can guarantee there will be no midges, and I'm reasonably confident that June is horse fly free.

I am the lucky punter who bought this.
 
about 800 miles into ownership already and so far so good!
 
Starter motor has stuck a couple of times in the very cold. But the slightest rocking gets over that.
 
Top seller and top car . will get a proper write up soon

Short Clip from Austin Rover on how to conduct a test drive from 1984
 

Anybody a user of TOAF? - apologies if its been mentioned before

I use it with one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152097223533
 
does a lot of T4 functions, so far have used it to:
 
- enable DRL (30% of Headlights)
- enable Windows Up/Down on Key
- disabled auto rear-demister
- cleared a bucket load of old error codes (that generic readers cant see)
 
not bad for a free piece of software. seems to work quite well, but lot of objections from testbook T4 owners, saying it risky etc. 

replaced the inlet manifold gasket on the Streetwise over the weekend and what a transformation!
no more lumpy starts or white smoke trail the red arrows would be proud of.
 
I wonder how many IMG failures have been diagnosed as OMG HGF on the k series?
it looks a bit of a daunting job, but with numerous combinations of 3/8" drive bars all the bolts were on and off with no issues

Big Thanks to Mr Six for arranging this.
 
I had to bolt early due to a family situation so didn't stay for the second night.
 
was great to meet some old friends and make new ones - hope everyone has a safe journey home

i may have got a little excited and made some cling stickers to commemorate the event.
 
will dish them out over the weekend.
 
 

is it auto or manual? i dont think the autobox does the 2.5v6 many favours, its an engine that loves to be revved, but never does attached to an autobox.
 
 duff VIS motors will make a miserable drive as well.

thats the auction i won it from!

Have a low mileage A160 Im trying to sell at the moment That might do the trick.
 
Shiters discount possible
