Looks great, wish mine was as clean.

It's still filthy from my weekend jaunt to Newcastle and West Midlands airborne pollution.

It better be dry Saturday

It's looking good for the rest of the week mate, fingers crossed

chris-c · 04-18-2018, 12:55 PM

Very nice. I got the vacuum out a moment ago and cleaned the inside.

I'm heading to the office tomorrow so pointless cleaning it today. It'll have dirt and brake dust on it by the weekend so it's getting cleaned on Friday or Saturday.

I've no driven it since Thursday last week apart from moving it round the block so I'm looking forward to going to the office tomorrow.

I suppose I should give it a tank of 99 too.

Yep I am hitting Tescos in Cannock on Saturday.

Car definitely runs well on 99 fuel.

I tried bog standard unleaded out of curiosity, fuck me it's bad, very rough and crap throttle response.

I try to use Tesco Momentum 99, then Shell V Power and at a push BP Ultimate.

I've been using the Tesco moments lately as it's only a few pence more, £1.22 last time I filled up,

I hear Gareth is busy mate so you need to put some elbow work in

Unless you want to meet the southern mob at the Bell at Tong for some convoy goodness

MickyD'bo · 04-19-2018, 12:04 AM

Can't make it. Gutted. Make sure pics are taken to prove it happened. Have a great meet guys. Maybe next time. Dobbo.

RustyBitz · 04-19-2018, 02:35 AM

Perfect weather for car washing if you can "work from home".

I prefer the term "shirking from home"

chris-c · 04-19-2018, 05:50 AM

My boss text me to tell me he had food poisoning and was staying home until lunchtime or so. I told him I wont go in just incase it's a bug not food poisoning.

My car is SPOTLESS now. :O

You know the old saying,you shouldn't employ someone if you don't trust them enough to let them work from home....

I was still working at 10pm last night and was working again at 6 today. I think we get away with whatever we like as long as shit gets done.

Indeed - it's why a much more important saying is judge outputs not inputs...

Also wfh and cutting the grass in between getting shit done, in Singapore and Hong Kong next week and flying back through the weekend so taking the roundabout to their swing....

Southern Jay · 04-19-2018, 09:06 AM

Do we have any budding photographers attending the meet? Would be good to get some decent photos of the day.

I will hope that someone else will have a camera with them but I'll probably drop the big boy camera in the bag just in case.
.... I certainly haven't just bought a lens filter just incase.

these will have a bit more range. 5w Vs 0.5w for normal PMRs. I have a legit reason for owning them and a license to use them. this will just be a case of accidentally using them when they shouldn't

the beast is clean and the beer is drunk.

robbiep · 04-19-2018, 01:04 PM

So, I need to decide.

The valencia orange Z4 20si. Roof off day by the looks at it. Currently hanging and in need of a good clean.
The silver F31 325d. Also currently hanging and in need of a clean.

Pro for the Z4 : roof off. Will take less time to clean !
Pro for the F31. Nicer spec. Probably quicker !

Thoughts, folks ?
