Remember I'm always happy to help too.
I don't go to Worcestershire anymore though.

I will be taking the Xantia with only 2 on board with camping gear and kayaks on the roof, so plenty of room.

If those rivers overflow, might you end up in the Tees or, even better, the Tyne
If you do, there's a couple of underbody trays that I have a 'promise' on
Ive one or two of these Im sure

I've just completed a big parts relay
Up to Leicester last evening to collect John's (Jgra1) compressor/paint sprayer and then today, down to see firstly Malcolm (Citronut) to deliver his seats and then up to see John
Malcolm gave me a ride in a 2CV. That was an experience not to be missed after a V6 I can tell you 8)
Supurb trip in the V6, she purred all the way and was quite frugal on fuel
One of her strong points came to the fore; slogging through snarled-up Tunbridge Wells in the rush hour
So easy with an autobox and not a murmer of complaint from the V6 at all. Good girl
An excellent day all-round. It was great to see old friends and enjoy a natter.
Joh, I'm sorry, I clean forgot to say thanks for the fish and chips. Went down a perfect treat
As always, the A21 between Tonbridge and Hastings remains one of the most terrible roads I know
That was a teriffic scenic rote you directed me on to bypass Tunbridge Wells John

great to see you Jim
yep after you left I realised how many miles of thin narrow lanes there are to get past Tunbridge wells, Southborough, and Tonbridge
My V6 was lovely tonight, there is an exhaust problem but it sounds pretty good

i think you will need at least an AMI SUPPER chassis to take the V6 lump, and i think you will have to find a manual box TEA HE (without chocy bicy's tut tut)
much ass grassy ass
and thanks again for all your eforts hunny,
i think we will probably meet up in a field somewhere on our next encounter
kind regards

If anyone should be passing the Doncaster area on the M18/180 and on down south on the M1 toward Junction 14 at any time in the future, I would very much appreciate if a set of alloy wheels could be collected from KP and delivered to me in Newport Pagnell.
There's no rush on this and if it will help, I can do a meet somewhere along a convenient spot on the M1 or thereabouts.
Much thanks
EDIT: I'll be at Stratford CCC meet next weekend if that will help in any way.
