The Wagon........

Just to let you guys know that its time to get rid of the Bling Wagon

Yesterday i thought i had a major oil leak and Cornelius bless him came round last night and found the source of the oil leak.......and at 9 pm last night in the cold and dark dropped the stearing rack and found the leak was a loose bolt for the stearing fluid chamber thingy....... and managed to tighten it up for me....
Big Thanx mate for doing that

there is a limit to how much you spend on your car, and i have gone way over that limit.

I have thrown to much money at it and now its time to say good buy to it....i will be saving up for another scooby for the summer time, as im looking forward to the bbq's and meets during the warm summer nights.

i will still pop down to the meets, to see you guys just gutted i wont have a scooby for the time being....

cya all soon...John

Sorry to hear that mate. Awesome car, don't let it go for too little just for a quick sale!

Might be worth removing a couple of mods to recoupe a little money, or save for the next one you buy!

Of course, it's in the calendar of events already. The blackwall tunnel will be open by then

I am thinking of a little surprise twist (hhhmmmm is Petter free that weekend?)

It would be great to have John along as he couldn't drive the bling wagon to the last one for some reason....

John,

Don't do it!! After slightly damaging mine 6 weeks ago, it feels like someone cut my legs off. I'm hopefully getting mine back soon.

I look forward to seeing you and Norma at the meets and if you ever need a lift let me know.

Thats sad news m8 I guess you have thought long and hard about it and if it has to go then so be it but like the others said don't act in haste as some times better the devil you know and all that!

I gather you are a southendian like me so again like the others have said my car has 4 seats in it and 2 are always empty

Chris..

I didn't want to get too nasty, as I'm tending to upset people recently

to rephrase, the gland nut on the steering rack was loose (pipe from the pump),

only one problem, theres a clean patch on your crossmember you best clean the rest of it
