Preparation!

[vetch]

You can guarantee that all our cars will be the cleanest they've ever been ready for the 15th July! Obviously mine is always clean and shiny, honest!

[stuartalfa]

Still not had a chance to clean mine since NAD, the wife's car failed the MOT so she is using my bella till friday, fecking nightmare for me.

You let the wife drive the GTA? What car does your wife usually drive, the Cinquecento? My car is filty at the moment, the fecking rain hasnt given me a chance to give it a proper going over yet.

The funny thing with cleaning an Alfa when you rally have the time is it really is a pleasure, as i rub my hands.

If the car has to be in concourse condition then i'm not coming

[155_Manson]

it doesn't have to be. I'm just using this meet as an excuse to kick my ass into gear sorting the car out.

[howell811]

Phew!!!!

concourse !! no chance here

[bobber54]

Nah me niether, nice and clean, thats all im after!!! Looking good manson,makes hell of a difference

[155_Manson]

So my MOT runs out before the meet!

Have booked it in for this coming Saturday ( 8th ) and I am already nervous for the result. I am dreading hearing the word "FAIL" after all this work and all the excitement I have for taking her to the meet.

Hopefully she will pass as the last MOT cost me £400 to fix her ( welding rust damage, new parts, etc ). Surely there can't be more problems?! ( That's not including the alternator to be fitted on the same day )

EDIT: I'll still go to the meet though if she fails. Would be pointless not going at all!

[stuartalfa]

Good luck with the MOT Manson, the wifes Fiat just cost me £230 to pass it's MOT.
Let us know how you get on.
