ivan the terrible

that would be a great help, will be ideal for the pasta, when you say big pots do you mean cooking pots?

Hi all, just wondering how many are camping on Saturday night at Donington, Andrea wants an idea of how many to cater for, spag bol this time, I expect about the same amount of people as last time give or take a few, if anyone with ovens could do garlic bread that would be a great help, thanks ivan

Well done everyone, what a great welcome to a new club member, don't get much better than this, I'll be there but I'll leave all the spanner work to those who can, will be watching and there to help if required, might get Andrea in a nurse outfit mopping brows and passing tools, looking forward to seeing it all happen, Ivan

cheers Richard, just think model steam engine size

hi all, i'm after some angled steel or aluminium just to make a small frame, about 48"x16", 1" or 2" square section, or anything near that, just wondering if anyone has any spare in their garage for sale, around south Yorkshire area, or know somewhere cheap to buy from, cheers ivan

just measured my spare one, 205 mm in total, with 30mm manifold and 42 mm k&n filters, ivan

Seems to be every time Andrea gets in the car

hi all, like femster i'm not havin a great day either, got the kit running at its best last weekend, thanks to a bit of club help, so today got home from work thought i'd give it a bit of a clean before taking it out for a spin, thought i'd take andrea out for a glass or two at a country pub somewhere, she was well up for that, alls good I get to play she gets to drink red wine, perfect,,,, so we set off nice and steady, 1st gear, into 2nd and clutch cable snaps, oh bugger, I thought, not even 100 yards, don't think i'm destined to enjoy a kit car, luckily not to far to push back home, so that is the job for tommorow , ivan

see you all there, bonnet clips staying firmly shut for once, a trouble free trip out, (fingers crossed) ivan-andrea

good 1 mick, tempted to get mine booked in, just for curiosity

was that the noise in your head, each time you banged your head on my bonnet???????

Thanks must go out to you guys,,,,,,,,, I put a out a call for help and you guys respond, travel over, fix my car, and ask for nothing in return, so things like refreshments and a bbq in the rain is just a small token of appreciation for the help that you give, so once again THANK YOU, looking forward to having a good trouble free run out, ,,, , cheers ivan

No need to bring anything for the bbq, and if it's raining I'll cook under a brolly, won't be the first time, same time as last week for everyone? ivan

how about a kit spares stall or a swap shop

thanks mate, same to you

hi all, me again, had my kit fixed yesterday(sunday 21st) when I made the 1st posting "a cry for help" it got a bit confusing towards the end as to when people were coming round, was it 21st? or 28th?, anyway a few offered to help but thought it was the 28th, so didn't call round, I was advised to get a new cam belt and the lads would help me fit it, SO next sunday the 28th I would like some help again and we will have another BBQ for all who come round, the invitation is open to anyone who would like to call round, including parteners and kids, either to help or watch or just take the pi##, if you can make it PM me and let me know, cheers ivan

still doing next weekend, Sunday again, might have something to do on the kit, either way we'll have a bbq, all invited more the merrier. Ivan

is that goodbye to the bmw then?

hi all, as title says,,,,, I've been rescued again,,,,,had issues with my kit so Simon B, Dan E, Mowerman and Steamer called round to mine and hopefully and finally got my kit sorted for me, changed dizzy,coil and HT leads, set it all up and got her going, a little tweak here and there and a quick road test, and,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,went like a dream, slight bit of hesitation on exelleration, so tweaked the timing a bit, next road test, thought i'd go a bit further this time, took it steady over the speed bumps, once they'd all gone, went round the corner where I usually floor it,,,,,,, so floored it this time,,,,,,,and it did something its never been able to do before,,,,,,,, in 2nd gear the wheels span and the backend drifted out,,,,,,,,,, as I say it's never been able to do it before,,,, SO OF COURSE I WASN'T EXPECTING IT TO HAPPEN,,,, BUT IT DID AND I WASN'T READY FOR ITAND IT TOOK ME BY SURPRIZE (a bit like SHAFT sneaking up on the wife!!!!!) anyway as you may have guessed,, I lose control go up on the kerb and,,,,, puncture the tyre,,,, so a flat tyre and a couple of brown trouser marks I go back home,,,,, south Yorkshire mob waiting and yes the pi## taking starts and will probably go on for quite a while longer,,,,,, I think my user name might change to,,,,,ivan the terrible,,,,,DRIVER,,,, I think now I have a car that is doing what it is supposed to do means I have to now learn to drive one, i'm sure i''m not the 1st to have done this and i'm sure it may happen again, i'll just be ready for it next time,,, anyway i'd like to give a BIG THANKS to the south yorks mob once again, and also a big thanks to the south yorks SWMBO'S for helping andrea on her little project, cheers ivan :)

hi all, dan e and steamer have kindly offered help this sunday(21st) at about 1ish, if anyone else wants to pop round and help or just take the pi## you're more than welcome, send me a pm and i'll give the address, thanks ivan

AA!!!!!!!!!!

ok, thanks for all the offers, if some of you can call sunday then I think dan's right get it done and have some fun, look at that I'm a poet and didn't know it, those who can come sunday PM me and I will give you my address, also if parteners and kids would like to come they are more than welcome to socialise with andrea and take the p#ss out of us as they do so well, probably do something to eat too, maybe burgers on the BBQ

Right, just been told by SWMBO to make it next weekend and to bring partners and kids and make a party of it, BBQ and sunshine, if that's any better, a bit more notice

good 1 we can laugh about it now :rofl:
