[Feb 20, 2016] JP's House (Project Nick Frost & Stuff)

[JP83]

So further to my earlier post, and looking round the car, the list is a bit shorter now:

Front and rear brakes - both sets of brakes look useable. I've got brand new fronts (Xmas present), but I'll ask the experts when they arrive as to what they think. Fluids a defo.
Shocks, springs, top mounts -
Powerflex bushes (front arb, front wishbone)
Ball joints, Track Rods and Track rod ends- again, appear ok. Can just be checked.
Cambelt and service kit (have cup alternator setup to install) & Valeo Clutch - His royal @Scrooge ness
Battery, cage, adapter for bulkhead (and cabling to relocate) - obviously needed to start the bugger
Tow strap
Exhaust

I was planning on trimming the loom, but I think for now, I'll leave it and just tidy away the unused connectors.


As for food and drink. I'll have a selection of beers and cider in (Let me know if you want anything specific beforehand).

If the weather is nice, I'm thinking BBQ, or we bung some dosh in and get some take-out in for the evening.
Lunch time grub will be bacon butties. I shall hopefully be making some famous treats, and I hear @RyG 's better half wants to bake too.

Then in the evening, catch a taxi or 2 and head into Banbury town for some entertainment.

Ahhhhh nooooooooooooo. That sucks dude, but I understand.

 

[JP83]

Right then boys and girls. Do we have any firm numbers yet?

Ideally like to know how many are staying the night, and how much Bacon and rolls I need to buy in.

 

[fairm010]

If everyone coming could RSVP at the top of this thread that would give our Nick Frost / David Brent lookalike an idea.

 

[dann2707]

Just confirmed my attendance. Cannot wait to see you all

 

[Cookie]

Confirmed mine, won't be staying over though. Got to get back as I'm out the next day.

 

[Rob]

In. Obvs.

 

[Rob]

@Scrooge you in?

 

[Scrooge]

@Scrooge you in?

Should be dude as long as I get everything I need to do done on my day off tomorrow

 

[Cookie]

@JP83 - still need to know where you live

 

[fairm010]

PMd address.

 

[JP83]

PMd address.

Beat me to it - was gonna send them round a bit later on.

 

[JP83]

Unfortunately I've not had time to make cookies, but my chocolate & vanilla marble cake will make an appearance.
Tea, Coffee, Bacon butties for lunch. Some soft drinks and I have cider. Any preference on beers?

If you're staying over, a duvet would be a good shout. I've got a double airbed, 2 sofas, and a (small) double futon.
If anyone wants to bring an airbed or camp bed we have room.
Ear plugs may be necessary.

 

[TRH_Racing]

duvet shall be bought along with comfy pillow .. I shot gun a sofa!

If there are OCD Detailers going, they'll kill themselves when they see my car!

 

[Inequality Street]

Megan is baking Chocolate orange muffins and mini egg cup cakes. If any survive the night, I'll bring for all to enjoy!

 

[Cookie]

I cleaned mine the other day for the first time this year, I feel like a disappointment

Dont worry, can share the Renault branded sponge I have?

 

[Steven103]

Only if you drop it on the floor first. I hear the detailers love that. The extra grit on the sponge helps to get the most of stubborn of tar spots off.

Good idea, start of with 1500 before moving to 400 grit...

 

[Gus]
