Updated! What You Doing This Weekend? thread. pg3 (20/11/14)

[HoTWire]

Oh nearly forgot!

What car related stuff are you doing this weekend?

For me it is more forum work, I've been running analytics on what people read, how far they scroll etc. I'm going to do some board re-ordering, which will mess with people's muscle memory and I'll no doubt get complained at, however I think it'll improve the overall quality of the forum, easy enough to change back if it doesn't

I've got to work on my SEMA thread, so much still to share on that.

Also Awards are incoming, so I need to do the nominations thread and work out the categories (trying to make them more concise this year)

So what car related stuff are you up to? I guess a fair few are going to NEC classic car show, should totally try and RR meetup if you are...

Giving Ralph the worlds worst Mazda RX4 some TLC and then taking more parts off the Bluebird. Good times

[Mystery Machine]

This evening: Designing and making the frames and mounts for a series of photos of cars for the offices of a magazine publishing company. Hopefully having a long overdue catch up with a member of RR who now resides in Canada.

Tomorrow: Making two office chairs from some old car seats, making a sofa from the rear bench seat from an old Bentley. Start making arrangements to buy a shonky old American car that is very cool, very cheap and currently residing in Chicago.

Sunday: Two photo shoots of some retro cars for Retro Cars magazine. Making custom keyrings for a car club in the US.

Whenever I get chance: Maybe try and make some time for a 'just because' drive out in the Land Rover.

No need to include "Mazda RX4" in this statement. "Car" would have covered just as neatly, I think... Best of luck with that, the score is currently about Ralph: 8 - Rest of the World: 0


I'm working nights(ish) so will be trying to get up early enough to sort out my wash/wipe issues and plod on with my LED rear light lash up conversion while there's still daylight to see by

Surfing the net for next year's wheels

Sat: Classic Show at the NEC
Sun: Completely car unrelated - Good Food Show

Hopefully fixing the clutch cable and none starting issues on the 924

[jonxs]

Changing the brakes on my sisters 206, and trying to change the starter motor on my old mans x type :S
Oh and changing the clutch fluid on the roadster (if there's time)
Saturday night in building fire though everyone loves fire
