I love your pic of the 24V outside the Cold war Museum Matthew. Fantastic looking building. Very XM!

A really good weekend. Excellent venue, plenty of folk passing through a great ensemble of cars.

Interestingly, both Neils and Pauls car are riding too high at the front. This seems to be a common trait, which I wonder is down to the height control spring wire becoming deformed with long periods of sitting on the bump stops, but the selector at normal height.

I have taken to setting mine to low now when the car is being left for periods.

Noooo I think its from constant foot to flour on mine and the front rising with the power.... :lol: :lol: :lol:


I like the slightly high front stance, but it could what be causing my slightly hard front, though the front spheres are a bit tired.

Cosford was a good venue for a general get-to-gether, thanks Paul for arranging it.

A few piccies.

All the way there I kept thinking of the Hot Chocolate line "it started with a kiss, never thought it would come to this..."

The kiss was with a kerb...

Spheres can't alter the ride height, just the spring rate.

Yes. I knew it wasn't you and for some reason said Paul as I thought it was Kingp arranged it...who is actually called Will...

I think this thread needs pruning... :D

So, thanks Tim for organising it.
