I think Tom and I are gonna make a weekend of sorting the cars out. I've just got back from a 50 mile cruise around the roads in Essex and I've fallen in love with my car again.I have a pal that does a really good job of detailing and valeting the legendary Girbil ,there are a few on this club that have had there's done by him, all love the results.

It's running great. I'm going to pop a new alternator on it this week as the bearing sounds a bit noisey. And a new water pump soon for peace of mind as it looks old- but it'll all be ready for the show. I'm really looking forward to this, and its not far from me which is a massive bonus.
Good to hear that you have the 5 bug back
Watch out for them water pump bolts I have seen them snap in the head many times
Mr Metz will be doing the water pump mateGood to hear that you have the 5 bug back

Hi guess someone will give me the nod as whether space or not
Think you be the man that dropped off my engine bay stickers to st albans so would be nice to put a face to a contact
Wait for confirmation dont wont to turn up with no ware to park
Hi there, yes there is room for Sunday, I will add you to the list if that's ok? I will give you your ticket when you arrive.
ONLY 1 WEEK TO GO. Can't wait.
Soap
Hi yes you have the last place for Sunday I will add you to the list if that's ok?
Soap
That would be me
I have a few places left for Saturday if anyone is interested Sunday is now full
Soap, I cant remember how i left attending both days but im defo 100% coming Saturday but not entirely sure i can make the Sunday.
I may pop down for an hour Sunday but wont be staying as im working.
Just in case someone else asks to attend.
Also, i know were meeting at Maccy Doo Dars on A10 @10am?,
But if you're heading south, the traffic heading south on the A10 turning right on Carterhatch lane can go all the way back to Hoe street taking 45 mins!
Instead, people should chuck a left on Carterhatch and do a u-turn then go straight over, or go down spin round at crown road or Southbury road.
Yeah mate put my name down.Hi yes you have the last place for Sunday I will add you to the list if that's ok?

Yes Stu agreed, hopefully won't be too bad early sat/sun. I would say to anyone attending give yourself plenty of time and have a sausage and egg mcmuffin while you wait.
Stu I'll just keep your ticket open for Sunday incase work burns down or something
20'c predicted this weekend! Proper BO I tell thee

Yes mud,

It's in deardsly road about 10am?
On the map I posted earlier south of crown road
First post!
My 5 isnt in a1 condition and im off out saturday afternoon, but I only live 2mins from the pageant so think im gonna drop by this meeting point at mcdonalds just to see this gathering of 5s.
So are you guys not attending Monday?
Monday is only a half day as most people use it just to pack up and go home
best day to get a bargain though

Be their hopefully looking all shiny sounds like a good turn out give the fords something to look at c ya at donalds
Unfortunately going to have to pull out attending.
My fan hasnt been kicking in for a couple of weeks and I havent had a chance to sort it. I see someone mentioned there could be 45mins of traffic which would be disastrous!
I'll be working on my car this evening, why dont you pop over and we can get your sorted?Unfortunately going to have to pull out attending.

Top day and great meeting up with rtoc members new and old, plus finally saw the turbo 2 which my manager at work kept talking about. Shame about the common colour of the raider being there. Think going to have to choose a less common colour now

Hi everyone much enjoyed day out glad to meet up with some other 5 owners will be looking forward to some of the other events in the coming months
Thanks to soapy for all the arrangements and bringing the weather
Was an excellent day, although my Clio looked a bit odd amongst all the really nice 5's
I hope everyone enjoyed this weekend as I did, it really was a fantastic time.
This event now I hope will be more and more popular and will be bigger and better in 2014.
Think next year will call for camping over the weekend with bbq and lots to drink as is the rtoc way
my phone is a joke so didn't manage to take pictures of yesterday so if you have any pics please get them on, I know dave aka shaggy has some great ones of the line up.
massive thanks to everyone who came and made an epic weekend
and finally, the star of the show.....
Thank you for organising such a great day out Soapymech and the level of interest with the 5s was unreal.
This was a really great event, nice to meet some more members, a great day had by all, I managed to take 300+ photos so will get them up soon. Thanks soapy for organising this.
Taking a long time to upload but should all b on there in a few hours.
