good turn out today, it’s a shame, I didn’t know about this forum, I was parked right round the back!

It's touch and go as we have a late night tonight. I'll let you know if I'm going tomorrow. Thanks for the offer.

I will meet you guys at the pub as staying locally on the Saturday night

Best thing to do is remove your plate and measure where your screws are, some people just self tap screw through the plate into the boot lid so not everyone could have screws in the same place.

Booked a Travelodge just down the road on the a31 so I don't have such an early start with 2 kids on the Sunday morning

Tickets bought, will meet at the pub. Can't wait! 

Lack of progress recently whilst I build up the collection of parts needs to give this 3rd engine an overhaul. 
I've decided to spend a bit of money on new seals, gaskets, pulleys, belts, pumps, bearings and bolts to make sure that this engine has the best chance possible. 
Currently researching who's best to rebuild the bottom end using ACL race bearings and ARP rod bolts, but sticking with the OEM rods and pistons as its not worthing spending £2k to upgrade those for my setup. 
The heads will be getting new valve springs, along with a port and skim to allow for thicker head gaskets and better air flow. 
This process will take a few months yet, but at least the collection of parts looks pretty! 
Also had my Bullet intercooler turn up which sandwiches between the supercharger and the inlet manifold, to help those pesky high inlet temps! Lovely engineered bit of kit. 
In the meantime, I've been stripping down the engine to the bare block and heads. Over 30kg worth of wiring and acilliaries removed! 

Temporarily installed window box when my wife decided to buy plants on day out in Worcestershire countryside.  I’m thinking it looks good enough to become permanent 😎

Fab, see you there! 

I'm aiming to be at Thurrock services for 7

Would leave Thurrock services about 7:15 to get there just before it opens to get parked

In my ford days yes. When booking the club stand and tickets everyone paid a bit extra and then that covered the food / drink etc. Bit difficult for a free shoe to sort through

I'm taking a couple of gas cookers and some water. So bring your own tea and coffee supplies and anything quick you want to cook yourselves.
