Re: POL17 - Sat 15th April - who is going?
Weather forecasts show 10-11 degrees the consensus, dry, clear with patchy cloud and a 10% chance of rain. Westerly winds of 10mph and gusts easily double this speed, will mean it'll feel more like 7 degrees.

I'm definitely out on this one now. There's no way I can get the time off from work commitments (just finished for today, in fact. The joy of working nights) I need to for the distance I need to travel. Bit of a bugger but never mind. Look forward to seeing all your pictures from the day and I hope you all have a great time.

Re: POL17 - Sat 15th April - who is going?
'Tis true, the RCOC haven't organised a pitch so we're all in this together.
We've got 25'ish committed for a 40-car pitch and they've got 12'ish but that means virtually no slack for people who just turn up, who wold generally be non-members.
Bear in mind that we had 60+ between the 2 clubs at POL15...
So we are going to have to maximise space utilisation!
I'm intending to get there early to erect the club flag as a marker and try to work out how to fit everybody in
Remember this is POL and we're all mates

I'll be attending in my 1993 Rover 416SLi - one previous owner - original condition and 32000 miles from new. It'll be a 300 mile round trip, the longest the car has ever done. Patrick

Great Patrick. Mine's a 1990 416. I know of at least two other 416's too. Look forward to seeing you and the car tomorrow. :-)patrickajmurphy wrote:I'll be attending in my 1993 Rover 416SLi - one previous owner - original condition and 32000 miles from new.

Just checked over my 216 GTi (1990) and she is running well, filled her up at the local garage - Ready to go at 7:30 in the morning.
See you at POL about 9-ish.

Luckily my white 416 GTi is going to be there. Last minute both rear calipers renewed as they were jammed in
So new brakes and discs all round too. New fuel filter and spark plugs. Shame I brought the wrong HT leads.
See you around 9am too hopefully.
