Macdaddy

Took mine off the camera tonight, binned a load due to a case of new camera and not checking settings!

Really enjoyed the show yesterday, Usual aftershow sunburn for me as it turned out to be great weather despite the forecast. Nice to chat to new faces and people ive met previously. Corrado club entertainment definatley provided by Oscar as well as useful advice whilst putting up the Corrado club banners! Chucked it down as we also hit the Thelwall but i think we were just ahead of the torrential stuff. Pictures just uploaded from the camera so i'll add a few once ive had a scan through them. How did the Concours or show and shine fair for any one? Looking forward Harewood now.

Ok guys see you there!

For those wanting to come to the services to convoy the last 15-20mins then we'll be looking to depart there at 07:30. We will be there 20mins or so before hand as i'll be re-fuelling my caffeine levels. 1-MacD 2-OSV 3-daves16v

You can always rely on a Nugget to brighten things up! Would meeting at Lymm to leave at 7:30am be better then for anyone wanting to travel the last 20mins together.

Yea, if we need to get there earlier then we can meet earlier.

Think it'll be spot on with the right stretch on the tyres, The test fit didnt appear to cause problems.

I'm aiming to be at Lymm services for my traditional McDonalds pre-show breakfast around 08:15 with a view to leaving at 08:40 and to arrive at 9am as the show as gates open. If anyones wanting to meet here also please just reply here and i'll make sure i wait for you.

ET41 I'm lead to believe.

Ok i'll look at that tyre size, i was a bit lost tbh. Yes i'll be at Tatton but not sure if i'll have them done for then.

17" BBS RC040's 7.5j iirc, Need to find the right tyre size now that'll provide a little useable safe stretch without huge sidewalls.

Thanks, At the minute i'll be going for the hand polished look as i prefer it to lacquered stuff but i know it'll take a bit of care. Thought i'd try the body colour centre as its easy enough to change if we dont like it. Took two hours to get to the above stage and i've not even started with the polishing wheel yet.

Thanks, Would like to get that pic on a print for home........Or maybe the office.

I know thats two shots but i cant decide which i prefer most.

Well its been a while since i updated. Drove back from All types, Into the garage and thats where she stayed until this week as the MOT/Tax/Ins all ran out at the end of that month. Knowing that we wouldnt be going to any shows it seemed pointless paying out for it to sit there. Saturday was finally MOT day, Passed with no advisories although i did get a call as the headlights were'nt working for some reason. Popped across and found i'd pulled out a connector when i took the battery off to charge..... Phew! Collected front subframe and rear beam from Jay ready for stripping down and powder coating.: Also collected some new wheels and started the long process of refurbing them. And a quick pre-refurb mock up shot of what look i'm going to go for. Hoping to get them done for Tatton but realistically Harewood they should be unveiled.

Nipped across to this last minute, Sadly not in the Rado as it wasnt taxed. Few piccies with some of the various Rado's spotted.

Messaged you Jay, I'll can collect these today with those other bits if your about.

I'll take it Jay, collection at weekend?

Hi guys, Well its MOT time and my local tester is Dub friendly when it comes to mods however does like the legal stuff to be in the boot so he's seen it, ie standard plates and standard rear lights. Could do with borrowing a Cat from someone in the NW for a couple of hours to stick in the boot thats all, whether it be used, new, knackered and tbh it could be from anything as they wont check. Anyone help?

Nice run out last weekend down to "All Types" show so here are just a couple of pictures after i spent a few hours Saturday machine polishing with my new rotary: Picture of a silver one that happened to park close by that was fairly clean!!!! :shrug:

Well i hardly took any pictures at "All types" but here are a couple of OSV in her glory:

Yep we'll be having a trip down on Sunday morning if you fancy a run down.

Just read on the Vwnw Facebook page that Stanfords been postponed, presumably down to the adverse weather. Anyone else know if this is true?

Take it cars in the States though? Theres a left hooker american style Mk1 cabrio in one pciture and also an advert paper in a picture with special offers in Dollars too, and thats just a few of the things spotted.

I'll take them, Please pm me payment details.
