Six-cylinder Posted May 12, 2021 Author Share Posted May 12, 2021 I am thinking about the end of May Bank Holiday weekend 29/30/31 May By then we will be able to host 30 people so a larger gathering than the 6 only we have done so far this year is possible. Camping/caravan/motorhome/car camping are all welcome and can be extended before or after the bank holiday. You are welcome to bring your family and use us as a base to visit the area for other activities. What can you do: Bring your own project car or non-car related projects Sit around and drink tea Toledo –paint anti rust primer on open rust wounds Trevi – last year Zel put rust killer on the worst rust spots but they now need filler/paint on them. Invacars – inspect all brakes on both cars Cut the grass with a ride on mower Condor mower needs starting and adjusting to run well Garden railway Mrs6C has bought some garden railway track and there is an opportunity to lay some out and scoot on her unpowered trolley. Campfire in the large chiminea – fun with saws getting ready There is also the opportunity to pick your own project in advance, if I have a cars that you think I have neglected and want to do something about it subject to me getting the parts required in time then I can bring it to the FoD for you to work on. Dogs, cats and even horses are welcome. Our farming neighbour is using the main field so you can’t drive in it. All weather dependent and I will keep an eye out post updates of the plan. All equipment is dangerous and you must be responsible for your own well-being. Cord Fourteener, catsinthewelder, Mrs6C and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackers Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I might try and come up on the Saturday or Monday if a) there's room and b) I've not got a million late assignments. 1 hour ago, Heidel_Kakao said: I will swing by in Cedric on the Monday on the way home from Goodwood. Are you down here all weekend? Give us a buzz if you fancy a brew or something, would be nice to get my eyes on the mighty Datsunissan. Or poss convoy up to the FoD if I go Monday.

brownnova Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Hmm... actually planning to be in Warwickshire visiting parentals over the Bank Holiday weekend and that isn’t far at all from the FoD... so now it’s a straight shoot out between heading home Sunday night and going to a car show locally on the Monday or stopping Sunday night and coming to the FoD... hmmm... chaseracer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stanky Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Yes please. It'd give me a chance to have a run out in the Daihatsu and meet some people I'm not immediately related to. My preference would be the Sunday as i have boring family duties on Saturday and potentially a family get-together on the Monday evening. I'd just be a day tripper.

Floatylight Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 Been tootling round in @Six-cylinders 306 convertible and doing a bit of tinkering. Todays tinkering abs light, thought I'd start with the front sensors and the problem was immediately obvious.. https://photos.app.goo.gl/YLznQsF6Cq9YFL2d9 Sorting this for @Six-cylinderis a bit beyond my capabilities, anyone localish (Stafford) a willing volunteer if I get the bit? Alternatively it's going to be a garage job. Six-cylinder 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talbot Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 1 hour ago, Floatylight said: if I get the bit? Are you planning on getting just the ring or a whole new CV joint? The rings are easy enough to fit as you do them in the same manner as the ring gear on a flywheel: Get it *bastard* hot, drop it on, let it cool. It's actually more work to dismantle and get to the CV joint than it is to do the work. If you bring it to the FOD for the weekender, I have no doubt we could fit it.

beko1987 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 It's after payday and I can bring the kids now without breaking the rools. Probably see you Saturday.

I'm about most weekends. I'd love to turn up to an AS meet with a cart. can't see work liking that though, even if I pay for diesel (at 3.5mpg, I won't be!)
