Midland Early Bay Open Day - Sat 1st May

[Graham L]

As it says really, we are planning another open day on Saturday 1st May at our new premises in Solihull, similar format as last year with some tech bits if people want to learn, some goodies to look at from Transporterhaus, Futbus and hopefully Slamwerks so you can look at suspension mods etc.

So it will run from approx 10am through to 3pm, theres a large car park just by the unit and I'm sure we could fill it if we tried.

We'll lay on a buffet lunch (nibbles etc) for anyone turning up and the around 3pm head over in convoy to Stanford Hall for unofficial EB Camping ready for the show on the following day.

Please indicate whether you would like to/plan to attend so we can gauge numbers and whether there is anything specific you'd like to learn/look at etc etc so I can arrange for the right people to be there. This isn't a hard sell its about getting like minded people together for a bit of banter and techie talk/debate!!

Directions will be posted up nearer the time :mrgreen:

[Nugsy]

Id be up to learn anything, as its been a few years since i did all this restoring stuff

Wont be in my bus though as its mid resto

 

[cotswoldiver]

Like the idea of 'popping by' again. Hopefully in my bus this time not the ronseal company car and then on to Stanford - sounds like a plan and a nice one at that

 

[Slammed]

Hi All

Sorry for the lack of updates on this, been a bit busy. Very much an informal get together of like minded people at our new premises and more than happy to show people any areas they want to look at.

You will definitely be able to see:

- Transporterhaus Dropped Spindles
- Futbus Disc Brake kit (both fitted to the shop bus :mrgreen
- Horseshoe plates for the rear
- TP Engine Sat on the bench for a look around (just in case you haven't seen one before)

and fingers crossed

- New Steering box solution, may not be in the flesh as the Volcano has put paid to that

Directions to our unit are now on the web site but heres a link to them as well:
