Good to see you again at Brighton, did you find your chips in the end? ;-)

This weeks venue for SADMOG folks?

The evening are drawing out, but probably a little early to be sat outside for the first drink just yet.

I have to give apologies for this week - visiting family.

Not been to the Bold for a while. But any better suggestions would be welcome

If we go to the cricketers I will bring the Trav... i dont want to take it much further than that it will cost too much in oil!

CHIPS did someone mention CHIPS !

I was so hungry, I did find some cardboard ones along the prom...

It was good to see some other SADMOG fanciers there, what a great day too, sun shining. My expert eye for Minor parts

I can't make the next two weeks but maybe in a couple of weeks time:)

If Mike is not able to join us, and I guess Carlo might be busy with children over the holiday?, we could opt for the cricketers, but do they still have a singer on Thursdays? (I remember our last visit was a little drowned out, its ok if nice enough to sit outside ;-) )

or we could go for the barley corn in hedge end? thats pretty close to your neck of the woods Matt, and if Carlo can make it not too far off the motorway for easy access.

It would be good when ever you can make it Antony, give us a little notice and we will do out best for an easy to get to pub ;-)

Favour to ask: does anyone have one of those hot air paint strippers I could borrow (you know, the ones that look a bit like a hairdryer.....)

Post by **Rob_Jennings** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 11:57 am

hummmm going to attack the trav woodwork by any chance?

I need to buy one of these for later in the summer when I do that job.

I'll be there but Does anyone know what a worn out Carbon thrust bearing sound like?

If not, you may well after Thursday. If my self diagnosis is correct

Nope, Stripping a unit for the Camper.

Trav update: Tried to roll it today and complete failure, gonna have to revert to plan I think....

Post by **paulk** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 7:51 pm

What failed? The roller or the car bits?

Post by **d_harris** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 8:39 pm

The car was too heavy, and when the roller was flat, the car wasn't over the centre of gravity yet.

So where are we going then?

Post by **d_harris** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 9:09 pm

Ok, So no-one has made a Definate call, so Lets make it the Barleycorn in Hedge End

I'll give it a miss AGAIN this week

. Will try extra hard to make it the following week and if the weather is nice and its not too far then i may bring the soft top out (if it passes the MOT tomorrow!)

. No promises though as i have oil pressure issues with it at the moment!

Post by **Mike Shipman** » Wed Apr 04, 2007 10:14 pm

Best of luck with it Carlo!!

Thank you!

I have only just come in from outside after stripping and rebuilding the carb to cure a petrol leak and then a couple of hours trying to get the wipers to go, gave up and put a new supply in for them!

They work fine now, but i have yet another single cable going through the bulkhead! I will re-wire it totally when i get the time and a new loom!
