E50 Rider Autech

White and proud

I'll be in Leicester on the Saturday, so I'll already be at Junction 21. Brian, Fancy meeting at Fosse Park (J21) around 8.30 ish? Will that be early enough?
 
Will be heading up from Windsor about 8

ETA between 9:20 and 9:30

will you guys still be at Garden Centre?
 
We are meeting there between 9 and 9.30, so yes I imagine so.
I'll send you my number so you can keep in touch on the day :)
 
The (very) yellow 107's gonna be there. Not sure about it's driver. Family get together on Saturday in the smoke. I may be a wee bit bleary.
Professional driver, bleary, not beery.
 
Derek I am sure youll wake up quick enough when you get there, I hope the Pasty van is there had quite a few pasties when I was crewing the Methanol Funny Car in 2004.
 
Just to remind everyone that the grand prix is on at Silverstone and the area around jun 15a m1 will be chocker.
I'll be coming up the A6 from jun 9 m1 and hope to meet you all at the garden centre.
 
Brian, I would of liked to come to this but after 2 full days messing with the Elgrand, this is how she stands tonight


As you know I got the rug rat all day Saturday ( and the vehicle isn't at home for me to do anything weekdays) so Sunday I will be trying to put the Elgrand back together :(
 
If you want to come, I will come over and do it for you mate. Not an issue at all.
 
Thanks Karl, very kind offer as always.

The picture doesn't tell the full picture though.

Over the weekend I got one rear component set fitted and one front.

After getting all the bits together I decided to go full on with soldered joints and heat shrink tubing ( found a brand new unused soldering iron in my work kit lol ) I also went for all new wiring instead of using the original, so yep that meant getting it through the front door rubber as well lol

So still got 2 sets to fit and wire and a few connections on the head unit. Plus it needs a damn good wash as I haven't found time to do it yet since buying.

If I didn't have the little one all day Saturday and could actually be out at the vehicle to help I would snap your hand off, but I can't find anyone to have him atm plus it's more awkward as the vehicle isn't kept at the house.
Shame it's not the week after so I could at least get her washed
 
We still look good for about 9 vans on the da :D
 
Gareth, I got a call from Kev Guest he is going as well he might be there before we turn up on Sunday or join up with us on the way down. He comes from Newark so he is dead handy for the JAE in sept as well.
 
If all goes to plan, I'm still aiming to go on Saturday and camp there.
