FINAL PLANS FOR VISIT :-

Meet at "Showcase Cinema " (post code :- G69 7TZ) at 9.20 a.m to leave "Sharp" at 9.40a.m to arrive for around 9.55 - 10.00a.m
I have printed maps for those with no sat nav.
I took a "Recie" run today & it should take no more than 10-15 mins from Showcase to the workshop.
If you cant meet at showcase , as it might not suit some, please let me know via P.M on here or post here & we can meet you at the venue.





Wee repost in case no one saw it first time around & it got lost in all the other posts DON'T BE LATE !!!!

45 mins is loads of time. You will probably do it in 30 at that time of the morning.
Have a great time and try take some photos for the magazine!

Yeah great day, me and my dad really enjoyed it. Thanks for organising.

It was good to meet up with a few familiar faces again. It's been a while since I've gone to a BMWCC event....

Who was the chap in the E92 335d, looked a nice car but never got a closer look at it.

A great day! Even better than I expected. Thanks to all who organised the visit.
Hello Andrew Rolland; the 335d is mine (ageing chap in blue jacket with beard and specs). Just as well you didn't look too close as you would have noticed the pock marked bonnet! Just replaced discs and pads all round so will need to recharge the car fund before getting a front end respray. May even treat the autobox to a Mackie service.

At least this method of propulsion is much more reliable than Hyundai gearboxes lying in there!
