You have my sympathy Marco. I've been in your place as well with engine suddenly going with no warning. It was the first cylinder in my first Coupe that went as well. Heartbreaking! A couple of hundred quid for a 2nd hand engine and a bit of hard graft with a little help from my friends and it was up and running again..

Joe, if you want to delay the quanturbo to get Marco running that's fine by me - I'll call later.

31st, Marco, probably going over on the 30th evening - I need an MOT and belt change on the 16 prior to Spa. The kit's over there now, should be on the ramps this week I think. But if you need my kit time to get yours moving, that's fine.

Don't tell him that!

I've always been amused as to how he rubs the bacon fat on his head, in the hope he'll grow hair.

Proccy invented the thing where you try and pat your head whilst rubbing your stomach at the same time laugh
