Hiya guys

The front right hand corner is smashed due to some numpty getting the front spoiler stuck when taking it off the recovery wagon, after it had to be towed home due to an electrical fault. The previously mentioned numpty has now vanished into thin air leaving yours truely with a £900 bill for a new front bumper, spraying, fitting, indicators, and bulbs!

 

Bad news mate.....

Often the case that silly little breakdowns cause equally silly but much larger repercussions..... My alarm failed a few years back and, while the car was being pushed into the dealers, the rear panel got bent....

 

I know, it is annoying more than anything, but I was never overly keen on the nosecone that it had on and the new one coming is much better. So clouds and silver linings etc. Will let you know about lift if that is ok!!

Oh and I never finished my last message so how it got posted I have absolutely no idea!!!!

Cheers

No probs mate - if you don't mind slumming it....
Well - it looked finished to me Martyn.... At least as finished as a Supra without a front bumper anyway....

 

Anyone going to the NBO this year, I've started a thread to sort out the convoy HERE. Pop your names down and add your input on the rendezvous point, and please try to convince as many people from the other regions and/or forums to attend

 

Should be up for this , will keep an eye on the thread peccy

 

More the merrier mate....

 

are you's lot calling at the strines pub?
if so,i will make one and see you all there,it's my local,remind's me of the pub from american werewolf in london,we walk in,everything stop's sort of pub

 

oh guy's,if ya coming down past langsett dam,watch your speed,camera's working perminantly

mark

 

We were planning on a rendez at The Ladybower instead, but we'll be going past The Strines pub.

That's your local? You don't live in a tent next to the sheep do you mate? Or in the ruined castle thingy across the valley....??

 

wish i had the money to buy and re-develope the castle,what a pad that would be.
nah! i live further on toward the langsett area but takes around 10 mins steady run to the pub

and hey you lot leave them there sheep alone,good friends of mine
(come sunday lunch,yum yum)

 

Guys.. It looks like I'm off for this one.. Timing is a little awakward as I may not have the WRS by then. If I do, it won't be long before I'm handing the keys over and don't want to be giving it a bash over the Strines 'Just in case'.. As the 'soon to be owner' probably won't want it in a a few boxes..

Even if the timing is good.. then I'll not be able to run the new one too hard.. And there's no point spending money on a sitter for a passeneger seat.. You know I'd crawl over broken glass to get to go, but I need my sensible hat on.. know what I mean?

BTW.. Crawling over broken glass IS sensible, if there's a run to be had..

 

Al - you can be a real let-down sometimes mate.....

Tell ya what - borrow mi MTB, you'll be as fast as Sticky over the hills, that's for sure.

Anyway, I thought that the social aspect of a good WYIOC run was as important as the driving.... Ask some of our regular participants...

C'mon - don't be a wet blanket/damp squib/part-time chairman.... We'll all volunteer to give you a lift and share cars with you during this traumatic period.

 

...although he wouldn't want to take mine down there. He'd be cancelling his order the next day (Calm down, it was a joke )

Faster than who over the hills? I've just avg'd 17.1 on t'way 'ome, and that's mainly up t'hill

 

What traumatic period? The simple thought of the car arriving on a transporter means any blues are quickly forgotten...

Sticky -

 

'Kinell..... So, that's two new tyres AND an electric motor then....

 

Al - stop making excuses for your part time-ness......

 

Meet at the old Fenay Bridge from 7pm, for a 7.30 sconvenience of some people who can never make it (Martin), or struggle to get out on a thursday; but if it causes people any difficulty it can be put back to thursday. Just let us know

Careful Dave..... People will talk.....

PS. Al has stated in private correspondence that there is a strong likelihood of attendance..... We'll see....

We need to be moving things along to organise everything for the NBO.

 

Never stated intention eh, well I best make amends for that now then.

Rest assured I will be attending regardless of the warped discs and intermittent fault will be joining up near Ikea being as I have absolutely no idea where any of the other places are

 

You will soon mate.....
