I propose a beer and snack at The Hickstead Hotel, Jobs Lane, Bolney, Hickstead in West Sussex. Perhaps wednesday evening 9 Nov.

A few miles from Brighton.. I am there on business from Mon to Fri this week.

Unfortunately I am carless, otherwise I would have liked to come down....... I guess you DO carry round at least 20 pics of your car in your wallet right?

I am also carless unfortunately so am unable to make it, and it's right on my doorstep!

I'm not carless, however only got a couple of hours sleep and don't want to end up carless.

Monique

Carless too. But there is beer wot?

Monique

I am very interested about your motor mate.

Delays in meeting are only that. I now work for a UK firm based in Burgess Hill.. in fact just across the street from the Porsche center in Sussex (east??)

Will be here next week as well.

I might be picking it up this Saturday so maybe next week then, in which case we can swap details and I will take a run down....

Monique

Great Chris,

By then I should have more contact info to give out.

Next week, I will be at Ockenden Manor... looks lovely too. Much better than the place i´m in now.

I have been eating at Ockenden since I was 12 and it is a lovely place. Much has changed over the years but I hear nothing but good reports. There are certainly worse places to stay.

I am sure I have been to a wedding reception at that hotel....? I hid under the couple's bed to play a pratical joke on them but fell asleep....but thats another story.

I am definitely picking up the car on Saturday with:

New starter motor
New front discs
New pads all round
New SO2 on the rear (nail in the side of the tyre)
The 'Alpha' map on the Motec updated so I can get around 34mpg when cruising at 80mph or so (as opposed to the current 23-24mpg).

I am dragging a crate full of money up to 9M on the train......

Monique

Is this not a certainty with these cars?

I have reduced the size of the crate by doing lots of stuff myself... I have a few months to get it done now.

Then back to Manthey racing where they will reset the susp to the track settings. Will be tough on teeth fillings and back but ooooh so much fab handling. Then next summer... a quick trip to Sweden Porsche Parade.
