Hi JB.

Dont know what Bulldog Bri has planned for this meet. I would personally prefer a much earlier start as its getting dark.

[Bulldog Bri]

Hi guy's.
Must admit not had much time to think about any run out from the club meeting this time, but since you mentioned it. I've been trying to think of a different pub to do a run too, with a differnet route (hence the delay in response). Also to go along with Phil's comment as the evenings are now drawing in an earlier start would be good.

So with this in mind I suggest that we bring the meeting time forward to 5:00pm at the pub for winter meets (Oct - May) and summer meets the normal 7:00pm

Was the last run about right for everyone, distance-time? If so working on that I'll put a route and destination up shortly.

[Richard]

Needs  to be earlier or morning two stop with light changes I think.

Half wondered if we should go along to the Mangoldwurzling thing, can't recall if that is this weekend or next. Maybe even have a throw ourselves.

[Bulldog Bri]

Never heard of it!!!  What is it and where?

I thought the last run was well planned and a good distance but would have been great for a daytime. It was a little off the beaten track for the dark though. Personally I would prefer more major routes to aid with navigation or breakdowns at least untill the sun comes back.

[YellaBelly]

I'd like to as my Pakistan trip has been moved back a week, but it depends how far away it is? Are you planning a run again?

JB

[Bulldog Bri]

Yep. Planned run is just a short one back up through Keynsham to the lock & Weir on the Keynsham road. A4175. Between Bitton & Keynsham.

[YellaBelly]

Thanks Btrian. Any idea what sort of time you hope to get to the Lock?

[Bulldog Bri]

It's only about a 15-20min run (so 7:15ish)

Dear Friends
I will be there assuming I can get my Kitcar running.  I've had distrubutor problems, however today I receieved my nice newly reconditioned distrubutor with electrionic ignition with fast road advance settings. The main problem I have had is trying to find a distrubutor that will fit, as the space under the bonnet is so restricting it was limiting in terms of what distributor I could use without the thing fouling on something. So assuming I don't get any problems fitting and timing the thing then I will be at the meeting.

Good luck Kevin, hope all goes well

[Richard]

Watch those knuckles in that tight engine bay of yours !
Hope you get it done in time.

['The Gaffer']

Still not sure about taking my car, work needs doing but bad back has stopped me all week.

I will be there regardless so see you all at 5 PM at the WHEATSHEAF.

['The Gaffer']

Looking through this thread, I'm a bit confused.

Bri, could you confirm meeting time please?

[Bulldog Bri]

Argh... My turn to gooff...

Yep I did say at the start of this about moving the time forward to 6:00pm but then putting 5:00 down so to make sure everyone thats going isn't left behind, themain meeting will be from 6 but I'll be there from 5 to catch anyone who does turn up for 5 

The run will be at 6:30 over to the "lock & Weir" pub, Keynsham.

[Mark G]

Argh, Just reading this now at 5pm, Car finished yesterday and I want to get out for a drive but I don't know if I dare come out that far for a test drive...

Might try to meet you all at the lock & wier.

[PhilW]

You made it through Pensford, if that was you i saw 18:30 ish, the car  sounded nice btw.

[Mark G]

I made it to a lot of places, Didn't know how to get to the Lock & Wier so I decided to head out to the Wheatsheaf.  Got toatally lost and made a nice long drive though lots of places I've never been before.

I decided to call it a night when it got dark so I gave up and went home.  Did around a 40 - 50 mile shakedown and all went well untill I stopped for fuel about 1/2 a mile from home.  Got back in and the clutch cable came away from the pedal.  Had to start up in 1st and limp home.  Managed to get back to the garage ok but I'm just annoyed that its broken again already.  On the flip side, it was good that it only gave up close to home so I could get back ok.

Hope you all had a good time, looking forward to seeing the photo's.

I didn't spot you phil,  Where you in your car?

[Bulldog Bri]

Sorry you missed the meeting tonight Mark, though good to see you've got your car back on the road apart from some minor problems  Hope you've got it all sorted again now.

Catch up soon bud

['The Gaffer']

A pretty good turn out considering the earlier bad weather and quite a few sick cars at the moment.

Good to see you all, and a new face too, it was a great evening.

Sorry we didnt catch up Mark and sorry to hear about the clutch, hopefully nothing too serious.

Meeting up...

[PhilW]

I didn't spot you phil,  Where you in your car?

No i was in my LandRover, i was on my  home after taking the dogs out.

[lightauto]

Great meeting you all

['The Gaffer']
