MGCC Race Meet - Thruxton - 08 Sept 2012

The fifth race meet in the MGCC's Racing calendar sees a return visit to Thruxton on 8th September 2012. Last year was a great meet with some excellent racing and a good turn out of supporters from near and far. Tickets are available from Thruxtons website here . £12 in advance. Certainly worth a da...

This is without doubt one of the most popular breakfast clubs of the season often with hundreds of soft tops descending on the historic circuit. An early star...

Goodwood Breakfast Club - 5th August 2012

Another enjoyable morning at Goodwood. Can't be many better ways of spending a Sunday morning at that price.

Soft Top Sunday is the next one in October.

Re: HGF! Sewards Want £1700 to Repair!!!

Car now back on the drive all fixed.

Very pleased with the service from Newtown Motor Engineers in Gosport. I think they may be getting a lot more work from me in future - at least 2 services and 2 MoTs.

Sewards I'm afraid have seen the last of me.

Re: Quay for My Car - 3rd Aug

Unfortunately not going to be able to make this one either. Got a guitar lesson tonight and with only a few left before my next exam I'm not really in a position to cancel.

Things really have conspired against me attending this event this year. Must try harder next year. :oops:

I've just realised this is almost upon us.

Our usual table has been reserved at the Bucks Head for 1900 onwards.

Look forward to seeing you all there. :thumbsu:

Re: HGF! Sewards Want £1700 to Repair!!!

Just a quick update. I've had the car transferred to Newtown Motor Engineers in Gosport who are going to do the job for a fraction of what Seward quoted. They even collected the car from Sewards for me. Went in to Sewards to pay for the work already carried out - just a pressure test and preliminary...

Rebellious Gathering - The Mayfly - 28th Aug 2012

There is no official AWC natter at the Dolphin in August but being SCRRs we're not taking no for an answer and have decided to cock a snook at authority and have a meet anyway. :lol: Intention is to meet at the Mayfly at around 1900ish. A number of the AWC regulars said they would like to join us so...

Re: HGF! Sewards Want £1700 to Repair!!!

Many thanks for all the good advice so far. I would just ask though that we keep this thread to useful advice and not use it to rant and make smart comments - it's not particularly helpful right now. If I wanted a rant I'd have posted this in the general forum. I've posted it here to get some constr...

Re: HGF! Sewards Want £1700 to Repair!!!

£850 was around the figure I was thinking. I've spoken to Seward's and they've informed me that the actual price is £1700 without my discount. With discounts it's around £1300 including head removal and checking for flatness with skim if required and new type gasket as fitted to N series. Work fully...

HGF! Sewards Want £1700 to Repair!!!

Following on from her dramas on Sunday on the way to the B & RS Chris has just heard from Sewards and the worst has been confirmed. HGF. They've quoted £1700 to repair which seems extraordinarily high to me. You could probably get a new engine for that!!! Anyone else think this is a little on the hi...

Re: Trip to Brands Hatch - 15th July 2012

A great day out. Lucky with the weather. Dry all day - even had some sun. Racing was great throughout the program. 5 races of differing types and formulas - something for everyone. F2, F3, GT, Formula Junior and Britcar races. Entertainment from 1000 to 1830. Buck's Head regulars may recognise this ...
