Luego Owners Club at Newark '09'
Ok then you lovely people, I have today received the Club information and instructions for the Newark Show.
So, once again we have been moved in display location. This year we have been allocated area number 41. This is between the Main public entrance and
the Cedric Ford building, but, behind the steam and stationary engine display (  ).
However, it is immediately beside one of the main camping areas. SO the next question is do we go for our usual camping area, OR do we also move
camping area and be (immediately) next to display site, which will mean less moving of cars, but we will be a long way from our usual shower/toilet
facilities.
any way links to show site
link to Newark '09'
Over to you lads what do you think.?????
Edit bit :-----
Oh by the way I have 1 spare entry tickets for those who will be going for the weekend AND camping in either tintop OR as passenger in Kit car U2U me
(MUST be Either Luego Owner or Builder) with Address and I will let you know if I can send you one.

Welded some brackets onto the loud exhausts on Thursday and went out for a spin. After 10 mins had to limp home on 5% throttle. Any more that that and
the blood loss from my ears would have been life threatening.
Now back on the quiet ones...

Just go to a Gun shop and buy some yellow foam earplugs, and wear them under your bike helmet.
Did it go any faster, or did it just sound faster?

Bit like the kids round here that take the baffles out of their mopeds ? It makes enough noise as it is with the original silencers Paul.

Had a fantastic run out with the brother in law yesterday but between us we did manage to toast the clutch so had to limp home in first - very
unlikely given commitments this week (and yes before you ask that does allow for at least 4hrs sleep a night) that I'm giong to be able to get
fixed for Newark - Whether it turns into a tin-top special is not yet determined - I'll keep you posted.

Sounds like we have a lot of people with a clutch of problems for Newark this year.

I thought I had a clutch problem last week - it was slipping under load - all sorts of visions of engine out and lots of frustration. However, in the
end it just proved to be that the pedal assembly wasn't allowing the master cylinder to fully extend and this was (I think) gradually pumping up
the slave cylinder. Certainly all fixed by shortening the M/C pushrod and adjusting the clevis.
Cheers
Simon

Simon we look forward to seeing you at Newark.
Rusty Nuts and I will be leaving Cambridge 2.30 / 3pm ish (give or take etc) on Friday, if you want some travelling companions.
Will it be your first long trip, and are you camping over the weekend? We will be in the gate, turn left and camped on the right. less than 100
yeards from the entrance gate. (All Luego Owners welcome)

Ok then every one lets all turn up and have an excelent show again. ALl being well I will have some proofs to view of a Luego owners club
badge/sticker if my son pulls his finger out and finishes it tonnight.
So just to recap our camping area will be int eh usual place, through main show car entrance, turn left and about 100 yds down on the right. I should,
all being well be getting there between 2 and 3 on the Friday afternoon.
The weather is not looking too bad for the weekend, barbie & beer for the evenings and lets all have a good one.
See you there.

Folks - I'm not going to be coming - no way I could get the clutch fixed in time (and I really wanted to bring the toy) and I've just been
rung and given a paddock entry corporate pass for qualifying at the GP tomorrow.
Now you all know that it would take a lot more than a freebie pass to qualifying for me to ditch you lot but this is in the paddock and might also
include an out of hours sneaky tour of the Renault garage so sorry - you're fired (at least until the next show).
Please have a beer or eight on my behalf and I'll see you soon.
Neil.
