Cool, can I leave the Corsa on your drive and take the 345 home then ;)

Only if the rest of us can batter the Corsa with hammers/sticks/Nibbles/anything else that comes to hand!

The above assumes Foggy gets an MOT by on it, by page experience this isn't necessarily likely even given the time period

At least I keep them for more than 6 months... :-p

The 345 should be quite easy to get MOT'd once I have a spare day to sort out the remaining issues (rack gaiter, half-shafts and exhaust). The 343 needs more work, but I'm hoping to be able to make some progress on that once Easter is out of the way.

cheers

BUMP! I've got a bollocking from my contact at the air show...and quite rightly! Can anyone who wants to attend please action this ASAP. Here's what I put on the VOC...

Sorry folks, been away for a while. Apparently only one form had been received as of the 5th, and it wasn't from the forum, which is a bit of a concern. I imagine yours is now there, Profrock.

So...ahem...IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT ANYONE WHO WANTS TO EXHIBIT FILLS IN A FORM AND RETURNS IT TO THE ADDRESS ON THE FORM ASAP...ahem....apologies for shouting. For what it's worth, I haven't done mine yet either...:(

The form has now disappeared from the website, but via the wonders of modern technology (or Google Cache, as I like to call it)...if we're really lucky, this link ought to still work...
http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/s ... ogle.co.uk
...if not, I searched Google for "waddington airshow classic car", then clicked "cached" on the first result.

Please, please, please...get your forms in ASAP. I will be doing mine tomorrow.

cheers

Foggy makes a hash of organising something simple - now there's a surprise............

Talking of organisation, what's happening to the '300 Annual Event' this year? Your last comment on the matter was this post;

http://www.volvo300mania.com/forum-uk/v ... 52#p136852

which is now 8-10 weeks away...........


EDIT: I've now seen your thread on the matter, you've still only got short space of time to get something done!

You fail!

I think you find everyone made a hash of it by failing to fill in their forms.

Anyway, that means I'm 8-10 weeks ahead of last year, and due to my sheer genius (at delegation) last year was a roaring success in spite of the late organisation!

Where's the Scotland driving holiday thread, beyotch...? :P
