Default **official Ring Topic**

I have done an Official ring topic.

Here we can have updates on who has broken down and who has drank too much beer.

Well we know Rainers Birders has had a tug already, but het its all part of the fun.

Just waiting on a text update from North West convoy, will keep you posted.


Much Love.

The North West Convoy is now in the QUE to board the Pride of Hull ready for the overnight ferry trip.

They have made excellent time from the meeting point.

Yep, was fitting HKS tart parts, detangoing and dechroming the headlights, fitting an extra set of HIDs and refitting brakes, tarting the IC etc.

Last minute city! Just packing clothes and currently emptying some camcorder DVDs and then off to bed.

Got to be up at 2

Car as it sat just before I washed it:

He was going one way or another, at one point it was going to be going over multi coloured, with a nice mix of primer and Tahiti blue. Body shop have worked their nads off for Phill, and he has done all the non painting labour on it, and it was back on the road ready by around 4pm yesterday

Ah well, 2.20am and I need to be hitting the road soon, will MMS some pics to Dan later on (if I still have his number)



Don't forget the Ring Webcam folks, always funny watching the PF crowd "live" ish!

06:45 : I'm just finishing my night shift in London, and just heard the weather forcast for Sat & Sunday....(England Not Germany, but can't be much difference)......27 degrees for the south of england and similar on Sunday.

Looks like you picked the right weekend.

Good Luck and Keep them on the black stuff.
