Was a good afternoon, good turn out for a cold wet sunday!

Amazing how compact the V6 is when you see how much engine bay a straight six takes up!

I've now got a nice Bose logo on my display! Thanks Jaime!

Pub, Fox and Hounds, just other side of motorway from services, literally about 200yrs from motorway, village called Ardley.

Let me know if you're going, I'll do my utmost to get there, though I do try to get to most.

Can't even get Tunnie to go though :(

That never breaks down. Well, needs the odd jump start.

It was embarrassingly dirty under bonnet though :(

Yes, mine was to.........not as clean under the bonnet as a certain MV6 facelift with driver involvement pack.

Mne is filthy under the bonnet too  :-[

However i cannot say how much fitting mudflaps cuts down on the crap on the doors and rear bumper.......also dont get as much dirt sucked onto the tailgate  :y :y

Definately worth while exercise to cut down on cleaning  :y :y

And only £32 for all mudflaps  :y

 :(I could've shot down if i'd known, can't fix much but helped keep no's up. I'll have to watch the Meets post a bit more.    We'd have had two green mini facelifts then although you can't miss my cheesy Austin Powers cream leather baby!!!!!!!!!! :D :y      Seriously though a few more small afternoon local meets would help members meet up in between the bigger Summer events.   Yorks/Lincs/Notts/ E.Anglia could easily meet up on the A1 @ Grantham/Newark?

I've only ever seen a hand full of green Senators.
I was having a quick gander through Germany's Autotrader & found

i think i buggered 2 of the ones which came out of the engine  :(

Think i crushed them too hard, waiting for MrDTM to say wether you can use a FULL set of lifters from a later engine in a pre-97 engine.

Roughly translated means you were kicked out of the house for a few hours to 'disperse the smell of that curry' on saturday night ::)
