All good Rich!!Ended up going to Awesome Imports in Brizzle yesturday to get a replacment drive shaft, would have been a nice little trip only me and ozz(cheers for the company mate!) ended up in half way along the second 7 brige at the back of an 8mile queue, seemingly there was an accident between a car and lorry at 8.30 am, and yet still we caught all the traffic at 12.30!! hour and a half later we had travelled a mere 5mile, and according to my transit the peak temp was around1.15pm at 31.9 degrees!!!coming home was the easy bit, lee from AI said we would have been better going via the first 7 bridge, was literally 10 minutes from it!!!you live and learn hey, christ i think we more than deserved our 1/4 pound burger meals from mac'd's on the way home!!
Onto the car, wasnt too bad a job changing the driveshaft, pretty much disconnected every nut and bolt i could see, swapped him oover and put it all back together, some nuts (struts included) were ***** but they didnt beat my plumbing blowlamp and a 3foot length of steel pipe on the end of my ratchet!!! trickiest bit was getting the actual shaft back into the diff, fiddly and was stubbborn as its got to be hoofed past a circlip in the diff, my brother in laws 50oz hammer and piece of 2x1 batton came in handy for that little setback!!!


Took her for a spin to crickhowell for £66 quids worth of v-power and give her a rooting on the way home and she seems good, whats more my wheel hasnt dropped off either!!!


So TY, no i will NOT be your gimp tomorrow im sorry, you'll just have to find yourself a nice quiet shy village boy in builth tomorrow for you to 'dominate', i am rather concerned though i must admit at the wealth of knowledge you have on the said subject, is there something we should know??!have you been using your running in miles to visit the best 'doggin'' venues of wales and report your experiences on the 'gimp forum'??! either way im sure we will be enlightened tomorrow!!
Rob

Well it's funny you mention the gimp forums, as they all seemed to know Rob the sissy from Brecon.

They all reckoned you have been voted Mid Wales Gimp Of The Year 5 years on the trot.

Sorry Rich, gonna have to pull myself out of this one, my leg is "banging", after starting back to work and I don't think a trawl around Builth Showground will help matters

Have a great day though - Cheers also for the very knd offer of a lift over
