Big turnout this morning, including the imposters in other brand campers, shhhh.

If getting together as this size, maybe we need to introduce a little agenda to get everyone involved as a group. How about ( and only if up for it, no pressure) each attendee takes 2 minutes to introduce themself and their van to the group, then a minute to take any questions. Not too formal though.
Then have a wanted / for sale session, before just mingling or coffee

Twas me that went passed at about 10 past 10 this morning in my black e52 pipped went to roker !
What your proposing sounds a lot better way of getting to know other owners than turning up and not having a clue who is who trying to fit in

Had a thought after today about a Northumberland meet.

There is the QE2 country park. There is a massive car park plus a premier inn for breakfasts and coffee.

Bamburgh is also a good one.

A nice drive, lots to do and the main car park is a fair size. Easy to get spaces if you get there in the morning.

I assume we're talking coil packs.

I believe they're the same as 3.5. If they're different (unlikely) it will only be the middle 'extension' bit that's different, not the pack itself.

I don't know the nature of the symptoms or diagnosis etc but if there's misfires at low rpm but not high rpm a compression test might also be a good idea.

@dognero for drawing my attention to this, cheers Andy.

Glad you all enjoyed the meet.

The Errington coffee house formerly the errington arms is a cracking little cafe at the end of the military road about 15min from the A69/A1 junction, fairly quiet on a sun morn.

A couple of local car clubs book out The Moorings at the marina at St Peters Basin for club meets.

I've attended some of the meets there and it's a great location.

It's got a pub onsite that does good food.
