Ok folks.

11.30 am on Saturday, meet at Duthie Park.
Then we'll go for a blast out towards Banchory and meet up with Tartandude. From there, we can go wherever, open to suggestions on the day.

You dont ask, you dont get.

Besides which, i was quarantined from my kitchen because i was all covered in oil and various other essential fluids from my car. If you'd come in the morning, you could have had a bacon roll. Ask Matty, he arrived at the correct time last time he was at my house.

Doh!!

Parents are away next weekend so no dogsitting required until then, I got the dates wrong

The upside of this is that assuming I have my car back I can join you at Duthie Park, the bad side is that you won't be getting a free cup of tea in banchory..........

Sorry Folks!

Well just called garage, apparently the clutch fork was badly bent so they are awaiting a new one (approx £50)...

Just want it back now....

dont know. Just make sure it goes on the left and the knife goes on the right.

I'd guess it's what is linked to the clutch to move it.

Woohoo Cars ready!!

Bad news bill is £340 that includes labour/clutch fork/oil/driveshaft rubber seal thingy...

And that doesn't include the £150 I already paid Alternative Autos for the clutch.

All in all though a pretty good deal...

Good news.

I could have saved you £1.50. I still have 2 seals left. Gutted.

Meet up. Stand around. Get cold, while kicking a few tyres.

Have a general moan about what's wrong or expensive with our cars. Then go and destroy your new clutch.

Well, another mini meet passes..

MattB, Che and I

Have to excuse the state of my car, had just picked it up from the garage after getting the clutch done, so no time to clean it..

Cheers for the cup of tea Che, and good seeing you again Matt.!
