Right I'll consider myself 'told' then, no sicknotes allowed I see. Who can get a battery to Ipswich or PM me where you live so I can come and get it, I'll happily travel to get my truck back on the road and pay for the battery with cash or Beer.

Ps anyone got a spare Lucas switch I can buy ? 3 way chrome toggle switch, or just the chrome nut that holds the switch in place as I dropped it somewhere.

better get my arse in gear.

More info on MOT stations Chuckypop?

cheers.

Should have the switch you need, I'll PM you probably tommorrow when I've had a chance to look
Bumper......

I think I'm nearly back on track thanks to you Turtlespeeders ! some of the friendliest folk on the planet.

Quick Update,

I'm highest bidder on a PAS pump @ a crazy £7,
I'm picking up a battery from Chuckypop (Tony), Hopefully at teh weekend
and I need to sort out buying a switch off Bumper (Jerry, I'll call him tonight)

then It's ready to book in to CVS or Airspeed tyre and exhaust , whichever will get it in first,

then If all is well, I'll be along on the cruise!!!!!!!!!

If not then I am tempted to come down anyway in my Mazda (dont worry , I'll park it out of the way so as to not show you up with it's sheer awesomeness)

cheers Bumper, you are a star!! Weekend sounds good to me. Will send you a message or call tonight.

bloody ell bumper giving away something thats a rarity.

We have said the show starts at 11 but me and mitch will be there at 10.  What about the rest of you?  Should Turtlespeed as a group be there before everyone else? It is our show after all!!!

i suggest the ipswich and surronding area's lot meet at tesco's garage copdock at 9-15 for a 9-30 kick-off and join up with others on the way down to saarrfend.

Have passed some flyers onto us autocare up in akle and also looks like a few boys from the pontiac owners club are gonna nip by, also advertised this to iceni.

fine by me meet at 8-45 and leave 9 sharp.

hope so, but the weather do'nt bother me much it's the takeing part that counts.

spark? carb? i thought it was a diesel engine you got in there psycho? is it turning over ok? good luck anyway, and get that MOT booked!

Yeah it's a Diesel. it's turning over and the plugs are all hot. I'll get some easy start and try it again. if not then I dunno what to do next. I'm sure I've hand primed it enough and it sounds like it's turning fast enough, I had it started once last week, for about 5 seconds before it cut out, though I think that was because I hadn't primed it enough. Problem is with having to keep turning it over I keep draining the battery. I've been connecting it up to my Mazda and revving the nuts off it to boost the battery. . No point in booking MOT if I can't start the fecker
don't know enough about diesels to know what to do next, any ideas?

Hey mr Bowtie, no to the first one, yes to the second. I didn't think I'd have to bleed the injectors as I thought I had bled any air out via the fuel filter.  I pumped it until it ran clear of any bubbles.  I've ordered new glow plugs, just in case. I'll be trying again as soon as the new plugs arrive.

I honestly think if the weather is dry then there is going to be quite a lot of people come along. I have spoken to some guy's at work who are from the Essex area who are into veedubs and they reckon they are coming with some mates!
It's going to be a good day, fingers crossed for nice weather

all positve comments about the B-52 show. I emailed andy willsher about coming to photograph the show but it sems he is in florida shooting the gatornationals so everyone bring your digital cameras and we will have to make our own portfolio of the show and send them to all magazines concerned.

sunshine is the only requirement left

are any of you Sudbury guy's meeting us at Colchester?

I'm coming!
See ya at Tesco's.

i'll be there at about 20 to 9

Looks like im out !
My camshaft is knocking like a good un !
May still take a chance and run down cant decide weather to chance it ?

I will meet you down there, I need to meet Mitch early to put the signs and things up. I think Shrek is coming early as well and I know Andy is following me in the V6 Cortina. Im not taking the pop as its no where near done, but will trailer Ashleys traveller.

I am meeting andy at tollgate about 8.45 and then meeting up with Si along the way. Polishing the camaro up on saturday and cant wait for a good day. Turtlespeed lead the way into the 07 season. All bring your cameras for loads of pics

shal we do a wip round for charity or some thing. maybe for the kids.

I was thinking about a charity, but decided against it. If the owner does as he says and has a bbq and all is ok then great. But if it all goes wrong and people have paid, even for charity, then they will moan. Maybe ifthis works and it is good we will have a band etc next year and collect money then.
