Gaydon 2013 Visit - Pictures

Postby BigCatXJS » Thu May 02, 2013 8:01 pm

Many thanks to all those who attended. We were blessed with good weather, company, and event organisation (thanks Tony!).. Oh, and a fine pride of XJS....

I have some pictures that may be viewed / downloaded here;

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/sqgi9uzzroqs0ye/ihoxbThtAc

I've not had time to crop or re-size them, so each pic is between 4mb and 5mb. There are 25 pictures (if there isn't, then they are still uploading!).

I hope to pen an article for the magazine shortly.

Cheers, Rich

nice pix......



since meeting up on sunday , i have

changed the passenger seatbelt for a brand new one ( very cheap £15 ebay purchase )

got the left rear speaker working, ( connector had fallen out ) ,

both these jobs required the rear seat bolsters to be removed , along with the b post inner trim , and the furflex trim in the passenger door , to gain access

installed the carpet trim around the aerial motor in the boot ,

modified the wiring around the battery to allow a replacement carpet trim to fit correctly ,

installed the ipod connector to my newly installed stereo ,

applied some decals to the engine bay on the fan cowling, and the airbox's

fitted a replacement spacer to the drivers seat tilt lever ,




will my car ever be finished , lol



was good to see everyone , is there anything happening this bank holiday weekend ?

it might stop me from working on the car............... :roll:

Thanks Rich - good pics of an interesting collection of cars. It was a good day out and I really enjoyed talking to everyone and comparing notes (even if my good lady didn't - she's in many of the pictures in the pink coat looking bored!)
I look forward to meeting up again. There was some talk earlier of a trip to the Haynes Museum in Sparkford? I'd certainly be up for that.
Regards
