Midlands Nano Meets

Absolutely weeing down here in Herefordshire, was hoping things might improve but forecast is not good until late in day. Keeping an eye on River Wye rising rapidly. Some flooding is almost inevitable. Regret it very much but a 160mile round trip is just a bit too much. Very best of luck who are there or will be going. Hopefully next year will be a goer. Ray.

Many thanks to all who helped get my zt diesel back to running as it should, Steve, Scott, Rob and all the others with their friendly advice, collection tin is now a little heavier than it was, cheers all, Joe, {Ditto}.

A nice Nano Meet as always, seeing old and new friends. I would like to thank John ( Mischief ) and Julian for there help with my radio. I now know what parts to get to get steering wheel controls to work.

All the best to every one

Well rain stopped play at 12 ish today still a few die hards turned up to take shelter in the gazebo.

Wet end to another fantastic year of nanos thanks to the crew for organising and everyone who's helped doing bits to my cars.

Massive thanks to Jubbs, Duncan, Steve and everybody else who helped me out with sourcing and fitting a replacement bonnet for Tarquin (A.K.A Francis), Especially since the weather was so horrendous. I am immensely grateful for what you guys did.

Once again we have quite a good successful season with the weather be very kind to us throughout until today the last meet and day of the year, Saturday was very good meet several FBH being fixed or fitted by Devlish & trebor, AndyNo1 was busy dealing with the clouded lights of owners, Mr Stocktake (Dave) for doing my special Vis motor, and lots of other owners Vis motors which revamps the cars performance, so a few would be driving back home with a big smile on their faces.

Duncan as always T4ing the cars fault finding and sharing his vast knowledge of our cars all the crew John, Jamie, Scott, Jubbs, helping out with other members with audio, doors, and other jobs that needed help of advise, Woolley for always having the kettle on the go for our teas & coffees which helps us keep going throughout the day, Mark who was busy getting the cars ready for either fitting SSC or inline stats, as well as making sure our cover was there to keep us dry


A special thank you to Les for taking bogbrush and his dad over to Tipton to pick up his bonnet, which turned out to be worse than the one on the car, so that was abandoned luck as Richard a regular at the meet had one at his home which is quite a distance from the meet, so a plan was hatched to have it brought to the meet today Sunday.

Therefore man of the match this weekend must go to jubbs for getting up early on a wet Sunday morning and going the fair distance to collect the bonnet, he was at the meet bang on 9.30am so big big thanks for that Julian, once David got to the meet about 10.30am he was directed under the tent which once again Mark brought to the meet for us a few of us got work on it, with the end result David as once again got a decent bonnet on his car, Jubbs then also took his old bonnet and the one that was supposed to have been fitted back to David's only at the Nano would I think this would have been done, yes Jubba you are Man of the weekend


To all the Nano crew for this seasons great efforts which make these meets unique & work, we all pull together to help member/owners & each other keep our cars running and working as they should see a few of you at the next social meets before next year, all the best Arctic.

Well the last Nano meet of 2018 sadly comes to an end and for once the weather has had a big impact on attendance and activities over the weekend, but it didnt stop the enthusiasm and a lot of jobs got completed.

As ever thanks to all the crew for attending and assisting with numerous jobs that needed doing and for Duncan for bringing his T4 along and offering free diagnostics, and thanks to all owners who attended both old and new.

The next Nano meet will be in March 2019 and in the meantime we will hold a monthly social evening at the Four Ashes for anyone who would like to attend.

I hope you all have a great Xmas and New Year and please note the Nano forum will continue to be checked daily so if the crew can offer any advice/help during the months when there are no meets please post on here

The Bonnet was kindly sourced from Richard, picked up by Julian cold early Sunday morning, arrived at the Nano meet field at 09.30, then once David & Dad arrived it was fitted in a wet and windy tent the one that was sent by the seller damaged, or damaged courier was a total loss, remember David high light the damage with a marker pen then photograph them to send to the seller.

Also while I think about it, did you pick up your FBH & dosing pump which I put by the rear wheel of your car, I removed off the engine cover just in case the wind blew down the open bonnet and cause more damage, to get that fitted drop Devlish a PM & he may well be able to help you, as rain stopped play at the meet as you know.

Hopefully see you all in 2019

Organisers it's a 10min job to change a bonnet was a bit optimistic though
