yeah same here, been working 9-14 hours a day for the last week so hard to find time to fix it without going to sleep halfway through lol

but i found time last nite got home at 8, had dinner, watched spurs lose again lol then went outside to fix it as quick as pos as i had to get up at 5 in the morning
only took me an hour n 30mins, not bad i think, could of done it quicker if the blooming italians didnt put 6 bolts (maybe 5, cant remember lol) on the sump behind the the anti roll bar n chassis. took most of the time to get them out n then to put them back in after. also adding insult to injury, as the sump drain plug doesnt come out, i had to take the sump off full of oil, n as i was lacking a bit of sleep i tipped most of it over my head

anyways, just got to put some (well...lots) oil in it and start it up, fingers crossed .

well, I have had less luck then you as parts are required and no time to source them

So what's the story then, folks - is it still on, and if so, where and when are we meeting?

thought you would never ask

i was thinking of south mimms services on junction 1 of the a1, which is the a1/m25 junction

PS, car WILL be ready

OK, what time EA?

opps! forgot that one around 8am

8am - In The Morning !!???

err yea! you dont want to go later do you it would be packed! otherwise

No idea mate, not been before.

OK, 8(ish) it is.

Silver 156 2.5, clear repeaters, scud grille, bald bloke driving

155 2.0 with no interior, running too small a wheels comin in sideways, with a scruff 25yr old with full beard

Just us, or is anyone else up at the crack of sparrows on Saturday?

Fair enough - see you there.

Still Game's on now so I'm off.
