I suppose we could always talk about the weather. :-)

It rained so much yesterday, that my wife couldn't get the GLT to start. It's still got all the sparks, leads, dizzy cap & rotor arm it came with, will have to get that sorted out sometime soon (along with all the other 100 things ...)

I'm sat here at work wondering if Mrs C will get to see any tennis at the Nottingham Open this afternoon. It's been a bit wet so far.

The Redline went back to the garage yesterday. They replaced all of the shocks recently and one of them was faulty (Boge). Sadly, they are closing down their body shop. They were very good and only a one minute walk away. Need to get a few bits tidied up this summer.

Can't think of anything else to post, so will get back to work. Too bad.

The 340 is booked in for its MOT on Monday so fingers crossed there are no nasty surprises :)

I'm just sitting here in Thailand, been 5 months since i have seen my car. Cant wait to drive it again. A lot of different bits and parts are ordered and plans are being made :wink:


Btw: The Swedish 300 club are having some motor sport guru build 4-2-1 manifolds for the 360. Because we are 15 one this buy Its going to be cheap, under 200£ per manifold.

I'm sitting, looking out of the window, thinking its soggy, and hoping Fake doesn't go for another walk on her own. Sorry A35.

(I'm off in a few mins for the weekend, but will post up about it on Monday, else Steve or Nick can fill you in. Might as well let the cat out the the bag now, I'll get abuse about it whatever happens!!! Luckily police woman was very nice, shame she had a big transit thingy illuminating the house)
