You now you want too!! Kids will be fine. There should be a little park with swings + slides etc on site (no idea what condition its in though!)

Have a few beers and it will all be fine!    

Cambelt wise, I dont know who can change them! Mark is doing mine for me, so maybe an idea to speak to him as it could be just him thats changing them.  

I can do most other bits and bobs though! All depends on time I guess!

This is Ian's baby & i've tried to push things along by encouraging others to attend but i'm a little alarmed at how much work is expected to be done. V6 Cambelts are a big job so before we book too many, exactly who can do them? 'coz i can't. I pay to have mine done. Thought this was more of a get together meet. Don't want to see more jobs booked than can be honoured, hence disappointed people. Sorry to put a downer on things but work wanted seems to be stacking up a tad. :-/
     Veccie owners? No worries in my book come on down.

Sort of what I thought! Maybe the odd thing, but as said, alot of peeps might be disappointed!

Turn up, drink, talk 'dangle berries', drink more, talk more 'dangle berries' (usually louder as it gets darker), charred bits of aminal flesh on a BBQ, more Jack, more 'dangle berries', grab a few zzzzzzzzzz  - that sorta thing.

A bottle of Vino Collapso for the ladies and Sunny D for the kids!

Hurrah!!!!!

Excellent, Slackbladder!

Know Ian already sorted it with Mark for his Cambelt doing was hoping to sort of get mine done by copying Marks (methods) with  some help & advice if i get stuck, as supposedly we will have plenty of cover (big tent)but no probs still coming to York and will have all my parts for jobs with me if they dont get done then they dont get done the main prob for me is use of a Locking kit , watched the DVD enough times now & not a total noob just out of touch {i'm in AA} can always get me home LOL !

Has been confirmed that the Friday afternoon is OK to turn up yet?  

[amigov6]

Looks like M Mark is the only cambelt changer. Saw him today & he might not be able to sleep over owing to his work shifts, hence he'll do what he's agreed & have to go off to work after which is a bit rough really. Hoping he can swap a shift so he stay over for a drink & a laugh. Fingers crossed.
    P.S is there running water on site? ie a tap we can fix a hose to?
   Cheers, Guy.

Like I mentioned earlier, it mainly depends on available time... Plus I dont expect Mark to be repairing Omegas all day, he will want to join in with us lot im guess doing what ever we plan on doing! (Prob eating and drinking!!!)  

I used to be a part time mechanic while I was at school, so I dont mind helping where I can! The plan with my belt was for me to remove all the covers etc, and have it ready so mark just has to change the belt (Cant bring myself to do belts yet!  ), then I can put it back together again! (Should the free up some time for mark too!)

I've got a cam belt locking kit, & can bring it with me if required. I've only done one before ..... mine & I took the week-end to do it too. None of this couple of hours that MarksDTM & co take.

Would do it at home if I could borrow a kit nearly was gonna buy one till I realised how much they cost will pay for use of it ..

Shifnall (Cheers Dougie) was an eye opener. I saw cambelts changed in oil/filter change time but the best few were doing it & doing it well. VX workshops could learn a thing or two. MDTM & JamesV6CDX (sorry if i forgot any others) were doing the "next please" thing, it was that quick a turnaround. Don't want to p*ss on the parade but let's keep our sights a little lower on this meet as i've seen what's involved.
   On a lighter note, really looking forward to it & there'll be a big curry, many laughs & piccies.

Im sure it will all work out... I can do most stuff, its just tensioning the belt which scares me!!  

Ive changed a head gasket on a car before (was a crappy fiat punto) and I still got my boss (at the time) to fit the cambelt!  

The only bit I will (I hope) need a hand with, will be changing the Belt... The rest (Gaskets / Service etc) I will sort out myself!

Tried getting hold of the bloke over the weekend but nobody is answering the phone!  :-/ Will post info asap about friday though!
