75ZT Community

Right folks, im throwing this out there as I will yet again organise this yet again. Im suggestings that this time that we do it in Belfast, specificially here. Ive extended the offer to the users on mg-rover.org and the75andztclub.co.uk users also as many of them use the sites also and I feel it would be a good way of combining numbers.

DATE HAS BEEN SET FOR 1ST OF AUGUST 2010!!!!

Obviously this wouldnt be an official club meet for insurance reasons and such, as they are only covered the mainland, but it could still be great fun.

The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum illustrates the way of life past and present, and the traditions of people in the north of Ireland. The Folk Museum invites you to visit a typical Ulster town of the early 1900s and to stroll through yesteryear’s countryside with its farms, cottages, crops and livestock.

The development of the Museum’s town, Ballycultra, offers opportunities to experience at first hand a real sense of life in the early 1900s. Costumed visitor guides, working buildings and exhibits, as well as the chance to touch, to hear and to do, bring our stories to life. Skills once commonly practised, such as lace-making, samplermaking, spinning, weaving, wood turning and forgework are demonstrated and taught in the open air Museum.

On a daily basis visitors can see a number of activities taking place, such as printing, open hearth cooking, carpentry, basket making and needlework. The Transport Museum presents Ireland’s most comprehensive transport collection and includes the Irish Railway Collection and road transport galleries and also, ‘Titanic’ and ‘Flight X2 Experience’ exhibitions. The Museum has a varied programme of major events from Midsummer Music Session in June to the Spirit of Christmas Past in December.

The prices are below on this page.

HI GUYS ON THE LAST POST I WAS GOING TO TRY AND GET TREVOR FROM BXR MG SPECIALISTS TO COME TO OUR MEET WITH HIS T4 (Testbook version 4.Computer Diagnostic System) IN TOE, WELL JUST AN UPDATE THE DEED HAS BEEN DONE I CALLED IN ON THE WAY HOME FROM WORK TODAY TO DISCUSS THE MEET AND HE SAID HE WOULD LOVE TO COME I MENTIONED HIS T4 AND HE SAID HE WOULD BRING IT AND DO THE CONFIGERATION SETUP FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS IT DONE FOR FREE BUT SAID HE WOULDNT BE ABLE TO FAULT FIND AT THE MEET AS IT IS SOMETIMES TOO TIME CONSUMING AND WOULDNT BE FAIR IF PEOPLE MISSED OUT ON THE CONFIGERATIONS SETUP.

SO GET YOUR THINKING CAPS ON AND START THINKING WHAT YOU WANT TO TURN ON AND OFF HERE'S THE OPTIONS

Daylight running sidelights (side and tail lights on with ignition on)

'Intelligent' wipers (wiper speed slows at speeds below 5 mph)

Speed locking of doors (doors lock when speed gets to walking pace)

'Lazy lock and vent' (open/close windows & Sunroof using the key in door lock only)

Single point entry (first fob press opens drivers door, second press opens the others)

Alter wiper sweeps with screenwash (none, 2,3 or 4 sweeps)

One press windows down (for all the windows)

One press window up (for the driver's window only)

'Bathrobe locking' (car can be locked from outside with engine running)

Headlamp delay (Allows car to be locked with headlights on to provide a short period of illumination)

Tail lamp off delay (as above)

Number plate off lamp delay (as above)

Thats a great result all round for anyone attending the meeting!!

Most definatly, id say why not let everyone with a MG or Rover come along. I know the event is mostly about the 75/ZT but yes, as long as no one objects to it. Remember Trever from BXR cars is only agreing to plug Rover 75's and MG ZT's on the day up to his T4 unit, however im sure his advice will also be given for free if he has time enough.

Random MG/Rover owners

1 - Rebrab - with a MGF
2 - fatmac - with a MGF

Just a reminder to everyone this is a family event in a public car park belonging to the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum which is a public and open for normal business on the day of our meeting. There will be children in the car park visiting with their families as well as MG/Rover owners bringing their own family and / or children also.

This car park falls under PSNI duristiction and not some joyrider event for pulling handbrake turns, wheelspins in the car park and showing off with a sound system blasting out 140 Db's or sitting reving your exhaust. This will not be tolerated at all by ourselves or the Museum staff on the day.

Also remember the dual carriageway is an AVERAGE SPEED ZONE of varying speeds from 40mph to 60mph along the route all of which are clearly marked so do not speed or race to the event. You have been warned.

Anyone seen behaving in such a manor at the meet WILL be reported to the PSNI in a complete statement for dangerous driving by myself, and im trying to make arrangements for the PSNI ZT to turn up at the event also through contacts of mine within Traffic Branch if it is still road worthy and give out some free stuff for the kids or let them sit in the car if I can get it arranged in time etc.

If anyone has any questions they may contact me via email on colinrobson @ hotmail .co .uk (spaces left to stop web bots using my address).

Thanks everyone. Colin.

For anyone that fancies a nosy of the day, here are some links of the photos of the event.

Ive started a small facebook group where I was going to upload any local cars or classic events and such onto it if people provide photos, the link is here, its not ment to be a club or anything, just more of a central database of photos.

http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/grou ... 8158548390 - The small page im using to gather up everyones photos of the event and similar events in the local area, I will be adding more to this shortly from the larger selections below also. I will be adding furthur classic car events and local stuff to it when i get time.

You can see all the photos on these websites, one of them should 100% work for you.
