Bluewater

our Kas met up at the Bluewater Shopping Centre, Kent, for a meet. Bluewater is approximately 240 miles from York - so this is the most distant meet that we’ve gone to.

Okay - so I cannot pretend that we went all that way just to attend the meeting. It is half of the reason!

The Ka Klub organised an evening meeting at the Bluewater Shopping Centre.

So Charlie and I left York about eight o’clock in the morning and took a leisurely drive south. It took us almost two hours to get from the M1 to the Dartford Crossing, probably because everybody had turned out to see Kermit.

Four Kas met up in the Coach Park, including S6YKA, in the mizzle, and we had a natter for three hours.

Spooky dropped off ICBM for Kermit, and we had a fiddle. ICBM flicks from green (healthy) to yellow (discharging) momentarily, if you switch on several circuits (main beam, rear fogs, dipped beam, heated front and rear screens) until the ECU / engine recovers. This will require further investigation!

Of course, we had the opportunity to do some Christmas shopping; although the trip back to York wasn’t exactly fun (two hundred and forty miles, almost two hundred in heavy rain).
