So far, so good for this meet but will confirm for definitely on friday. Need to spend a couple of hrs on the rollers to tweak the bottom end of the map as the bigger injectors need fine tuning at low revs but hopefully will try and get this sorted before then.
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

Cambelt *should* be ok, if the aux belt is only fraying. Nothing should have really strayed in there, hopefully. What are you going to do now? Get a lift from someone or abandon the meet? Maybe someone could tow you through the tunnels? Proccy won't mind

Hope you get things sorted, Paul. That car seems determined to try your patience I was hoping to sneak across today, in the Westie, but was keeping deliberately quiet on here as the car has been in bits for the past few weeks. I've been doing various winter jobs on it. And it's still got no seats or roll bar in. Hope you have a great day ... I was looking forward my first tunnel run in the Westie

Seen you drive down lightwood road about 11.30 was on my driveway polishing and waxing mine :-) saw you too matey, should have turned round and joined us eventful meet; kudos to porkypaul for organising it again, we were lucky with the weather all day although it was very cold if you got out (which we did many times). some big powered coops from the forum were there - Nigel, JBT and Rob especially. good to see them! JBT and Paul fixed the fraying belt and off we went - tunnels, alfa 8c competizione and stoke were soon behind us and some excellent stuff going on along the A50 to uttoxeter. those coops sound lovely boys oh, we saw sandytim too who has modified his coop and plans further stuff drove some stunning roads out towards leek and lower peak area, but the best bit for me was the drive up to the cat and fiddle from leek, absolutely excellent road ruined only by traffic and average speed cameras nice lunch, found 2 chavs writing stuff in the dust on my car and they WILL be suffering for that - and so onwards to buxton along some more excellent roads and met up with Johnny who had experienced some serious bad luck at the previous mids meet. unfortunately SpeedyGonzales suffered the CHOD failure so prevalent lately as we were heading towards ashbourne, but luckily JBT was on hand to try and rectify what he could - i'm not sure if there's any serious damage yet, but i really hope not, he's one of the good guys special thanks and mention must go again to JBT who seems to spend most of these meets fixing people's cars!! nice one mate lovely to see you all again, and thanks for a great day

Great to meet up with you guys again, old faces and new, and a big thanks to Paul for organising a great day out, the roads were a blast to drive. Well worth the trip from up North, but then again, i don't need much persuasion Speedy, i hope you managed to get home ok. You were very fortunate that Nigel spotted the leak so soon and managed to flag you down so quickly, it could have been much worse. Hats off to JBT for his help with Paul and Speedy's cars, must be due for some kind of meet award soon! Nigel, a pleasure to finally meet up with you. Thanks for the kind comments regarding the car, and as for it feeling 'almost German', i'll definitely take that as a compliment I'll be up for this one again, Sofia said so

Had a great day,some nice driving roads and stunning scenery. Was nice again the distance travelled by Speedy from barnsley and especially Rob from carlisle. Speedy took my car back home and i have got his at mine.Car drives well and im confident theres no issues at all so well done to Nigel who spotted the steam from the car. Thanks to Paul for organising it and for smashing my Fog light . See most of you at Donington next week

I reckon there's almost zero chance of any engine damage - as soon as I saw the steam coming from underneath the car, I started flashing my lights at him, and he pulled up in less than a minute Bit of a fluke really, as Speedy was at the rear of the convoy, but about a mile earlier, I'd decided to take up the rear in order to get some more video footage Other than that slight mishap, it was a really good day - the only other downside was buying two burgers and two drinks at the Cat & Fiddle and being hit for £19

Have they done away with the Sunday carvery up there then Nigel? No, that's still avaiable and would've been quicker tbh but the portions were good, I couldn't finish mine!
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

...and a video This is Matt's first attempt at a video extracted from a camcorder, but I have to say its really good. The only bit he's less than happy with is the inability to fade the music out, so it ends a bit abruptly There's another, shorter video that we're trying to upload that's also pretty good - watch this space Photobucket video

Great vid, awesome engine notes Glad to see your car is OK Speedy. Must remember to watch rear view mirror more than what is in front when I get to go for a drive with you all Rob, maybe we could do a mini convoy to a meet sometime. Don't seem to be many of us up this way. I am only on the other side of the lakes to you.

I've just had a skim through of the footage and there isn't anything useable of Johnny's car, just a fleeting glimpse every now and again - but it was nice to see one. Unfortunately, the pass that we did through the tunnel (up to 70mph exactly, and nothing more ) was ruined because I stuck the microphone out of the window, so all of the noise I captured was just that of wind, and no engine noise - a little gutted, but c'est la vie..

... the pass that we did through the tunnel (up to 70mph exactly, and nothing more I think you'll find that it was a 50mph limit through the tunnel, so you must be mistaken - I only did 50, as anything more would have been breaking the law Clutch must have been slipping though, as I was in third gear, but the revs were somewhere near 7,000 i think i was doing somewhere near 150 too

Would have loved to come, looks like you all had a blast! Got heaps on at the moment and also would have had to park a mile up the road at the Fiat garage as to not dampen the cred with my dull pink Coop! Fingers crossed, she'll be in a more spangly condition by the time the sun is high in the sky again Lucky CHOD catch there... whew!

Update to this, Speedy's comps were 164 psi lowest to 168 highest. which is fantastic and very consistent so hats off to the builder. Fitted a silicone hose kit,new stat and sensor and luckily all is okay.
So well done again to Nigel as another few minutes im sure wouldve been the end.

Ditto.
Speedy, you can uncross your fingers now mate, before you get cramp!
This is how it should have come out of Torino!

oh, we saw sandytim too who has modified his coop and plans further stuff Well Steve I'm hurt that you would spread these vicious rumours of modification What I have been doing is what I like to call " Modernisation of Original Design" Lets call it MODing for short. I fitted the Sparco strut brace as it was used and I'm very keen on recycling. I fitted Nigel's lower brace as he is running a highly tuned coupe and I reckond he'd need every penny he could raise. I fitted the Italian Osrav dampers because the origanals are borg and that sounds German to me !! I fitted the Whiteline ARB because I felt sorry for the Australians after we whopped them in the ashes. And lastly in a world where we're fast running out of natural resources I thought I'd save a little steel and fit shorter springs. But on the outside it's factory fresh It was great to see you all at the meeting point. Sorry I couldn't enjoy your sunny outing.
