I was just going to bring what I would like to eat/drink for myself - and a few extras to add to the kitty.
I have access to 4 chairs ( I'll try to get the other 2 my Mother-in-Law borrowed for a few* days, about 2 years ago... ) and maybe a picnic blanket or two.
Eric, do you have enough coal for the communal BBQ..??
I should be there, my car is currently on a set of ramps, with the subframe removed, no driveshafts, battery, pipework and the engine/box supported on acro stands.....

Good idea on the furniture, we don't have much of that. Charcoal should be OK, but having some spare fuel wouldn't hurt.

Feel for you Kelv - I've been there and done that a few times
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)

Front tyres replaced with Avon ZV5, though I couldn't replace the TPMS valve thing on one of them so meh. Rear ones are OK for now.
Interestingly, the guy behind the counter reckoned that his computer thingamajit said that I could either have 94W or 98W ones. The sticker on the inside of the door says 98W but I know that Rich (rwb) also had 94Ws fitted by accident recently. The load difference is 80kg per tyre (670kg vs 750kg), which I don't think is that big a deal. Just don't carry anyone fat in your car . Also, my car doesn't even do 168mph, so not sure why it's speed-rated at W.
Mine has got 97W on it at the moment, it should have 93W. It has a noticeable adverse effect on ride quality - I'll be making sure I get 93W on it next time!

2002 D9 2.2 HDi Exec Estate - Samarkand Blue PM me for PP2000 diagnostics around Surrey
The two fronts are down to 1.6mm in places and now one of the rears has a slow puncture, so having a full set of 4 tomorrow
The sticker says 98 so that's what I've gone with.
I've got a set of replacement TPMS valve stems but I'm not convinced about the quality of them. The existing stems and valves will be 8 years old now, and one of them is difficult to connect to the air line.
I don't understand the speed rating thing - a standard 2.2 HDi estate was good for 125 mph or pretty much max power revs in top, (4000 ~ 124 mph).
This implies even modified examples wouldn't go much quicker, least not with a 5-speed 'box.
So why didn't Peugeot go for H-rated / 131 mph tyres?

Today's batch of forecasts look better - not so great in the morning, but could be OK in the afternoon. (A bit like last year).
Fingers crossed.

I unplugged the grey connector from my comms unit at work today, in a bid to get the remote locking to work. Sadly the whole grey block came out, so I unplugged it and put the block back in, but in doing so I bent all six pins and now I am blessed with ' Immobiliser Fault ' and the car won't start
its currently locked in works car park, so I have maybe an hour tonight to try to sort it - maybe fit donor cars comms temporarily - possibly another hour on Saturday ( I am working in the morning and driving in a Carnival in the afternoon ) so I hope to be at Pugfest, maybe in a Picasso though...pffft.

I'll be there, just replaced my comms with donor cars comms - only took 25mins in the dark...
Car fired up no problem - all systems go, I just have to put up with dodgy auto-lights until I can sort the other comms out, stupid me.
Remote locking still not working though
