[Richy182.]

Yes I know the 'w' is wonky and it is dirty but here is the CS SW sticker from The Fatty..

 

[plymcl172]

[The Fatty]

lol how have you managed to do that? I wouldn't of noticed if I wasn't looking for it.

 

[Richy182.]

I cheated. I just cut off the South West part and stuck it under the CS.net sticker I already had on!

 

[The Fatty]

so if you already had a wonky w, why didn't you just replace the whole thing? lol.

 

[Richy182.]

Laziness.

 

[plymcl172]

Just a reminder guys next meet is Fri 12th July :approve:

 

[McGherkin]

Yup, I'll be there as always!

 

[Dan@SJM]

[plymcl172]

Ideal

Can I also ask you a favour Dan? Gearbox sensor which controls the reverse lights/ smart wiper.. I don't know where it is or which sensor it is. Any chance you could take a look at the meet?

 

[Dan@SJM]

Provided its dry yes, as its a lying on the floor job lol

 

[plymcl172]

No wonder I couldn't find it then lol I will bring a dry bit of carpet or something should it rain. Thanks Dan

 

[The Fatty]

Just realised i'm not going to make the next 2 meets due to unavoidable events!

 

[McGherkin]

Nasty :dapprove:

​See you either after or at a different meet

 

[plymcl172]

So Morries 7-7.15 Outland rd for Plymouth lot I.e me and Callum this Friday

 

[McGherkin]

Yeah. Dan's bringing a spoiler for me too

 

[plymcl172]

Ah cool what is it..... whale tail?

 

[McGherkin]

Just a normal 172 one. Better than the 'receding hairline' one it's got at the moment.

 

[The Fatty]

upgrades! Post some pics when its on!

 

[plymcl172]

get a 172 that's an upgrade

 

[McGherkin]

Urgh. 182

 

[Chip-mk1]

Phase 1 172 is the biggest upgrade, 182 is ok though if you can handle the wheelbarrow thing, which I must confess i personally dont like!

 

[McGherkin]

Remember I'm considering doing a double stealth lol.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Id quite like to do that, trouble is then you need a 172 bumper and painting it etc, could end up quite pricey.

 

[plymcl172]

I agree only reason I didn't pick a 182 was that wheelbarrow exhaust lol standard looks like a pee shooter and to upgrade is £400+!!

You can just change the trims on the end if you want to alter the looks.

182 does have some advantages though like a better exhaust manifold and an easier to swap cat/decat

 

[plymcl172]

I hear the standard 182 exhaust suffers from moisture sitting just behind the tail pipe, this true? rusts too right ? not saying the 172 exhaust is any better mind ...

Yeah they love to rust on the joints (all 1*2) mate.

 

[The Fatty]

the exhausts on the 182 was one of the reasons I bought mine. Depends what you like I suppose! I like the twin exhaust look

 

[SWJames]

ill finally be able to make one of these meets but ive moved away from plymouth now so does anyone drive up from Torquay sort of area? if not where do you meet in exeter and at what time?

 

[Alexiooo]

Without tempting fate, it looks like it'll be nice weather for the meet...

 

[The Fatty]

typical. the one I cant make has nice weather lol.

 

[plymcl172]

Yeah right fingers crossed been raining the last 3 in a row if I am correct. Are we all up for Exmouth after the pub?

 

[plymcl172]

No one from that area drives up, a member from Torbay only came once can't remember his name. Check the op on page 1 for the info on where it is

 

[Richy182.]

Don't think I'll make this one either due to work

 

[Ed.200]

Well I've been fairly well shafted by my college! So might as well come along now as I am on my way down.

What they done? not lost your work have they?

 

[Ed.200]

Thankfully no. But they have lost some of another guys on my course. Needless to say he's abit pissed off!
There is a form that is sent by the exam board where I detail the units that I have covered. But somewhere between my college and the exam board they have messed up and I never got sent one. So had to chase them on that. This was meant to all be done last Thursday. And they missed out an entire compulsory unit - no idea how they managed that one! So I have had to do that unit and now just need my paperwork signed off. But o my tutor has gone off to Exeter on some training day or something so I can't get it signed off! Hopefully tomorrow as that is the exam boards deadline apparently. If not then they have one s**t storm coming there way haha

Sorry for the long ranty post. I'm a little annoyed but hey ho each cloud has a silver lining and all that

Ice creams at the beach it is!

 

[plymcl172]

glad you can come Ed I thought you were a gonner for a few months

Still have your 200 then? is it dirty ? lol
