The S70 shat its AMM today. Predictable, easy to fix, but annoying...and kinda terminal for actually using the car. Finger of blame points at (oiled) K&N panel filter. Anyway, the 343 is on daily beater duties. It's a hard (and fookin noisy) life. sm56

Mind if I leave the bulky stuff in your car until the end of the day, Steve? I'll send you an email...or maybe call you...busy busy...:(

cheers

Hang on a sec, are you guys meeting on saturday or sunday? I can't make it there that early on sat, but if it's sunday I'll just have to crawl out the tent and stagger along to the pub. :D

EDIT: the show opens 8.30ish sunday, they'd like everyone in by 10.30 if possible.

he's not sorry - it was a malicious and predetermined attack :lol:

I really enjoyed today, and it was great to meet the rest of the V3M lot for the first time, though hopefully next time I'll manage to bring mine along too!
