Didn't you leave all your documents at home too and had to go back for them? My car is as ready as it'll ever be. Its the last week that's going to be frantic, when getting everything in the car, going through the checklist, etc, etc.

Just back from Joe's this afternoon. New wishbones, drop-links and top mounts. Had the tracking done too, which means that mechanically the car is now actually ready Still got to replace the number plates for Euro ones though. Saw yours at Joe's Reuben - looks very sad at the moment sat there on space-savers James

Mine is pretty much ready, will be even more ready after a trip to Joe's next week, and newly powder coated rims Reuben your car does look a bit sorry for itself, but underneath the Herefordshre dust, there is a very nice motor!

Readyish. New shoes all round tonight after work, over to see Flea on monday (again) as after Joe did the cambelt, the exhaust cam was 1-2 teeth out, so now map is out of sync FFS After that, short of an unexpected hurricane strike in Norfolk, or a random meteor shower on my drive, I cannot think of anything else that can possibly go wrong with the f****** thing. *didnt word that very well - exhaust cam WAS out, before Joe did cambelt. Now as it should be, so map is out of sync*

just picked mine up from JBT and it's driving well - however i have a slowish puncture, need tax and other tyres ideally and is going to Flea on Saturday so it's all a bit tight. car isn't looking so well as one lip needs re-alignment BUT - i'm so looking forward to this now assuming it survives it's bristol trip which it hasn't always done.....

I'm just going out for a test drive in the Vincy so I'm 99% done, unsure on Claire's with the 2.4 as I haven't heard off Flea yet.
