mikey? is that really you? the blown coupe at the agm???? Hi proccy! Yup, its me - I thought I'd start a new thread so as not to clog up the one about HIDs! I've been back on the road a while now, but not been active on the forum as a holiday & repaying debt for the repairs have put any coop related projects/outings on hold... Joe very helpfully cut a deal with the cowboys who did my new top end to fit a recon engine free of charge, so I was able to afford it (just!) Well worth it though!

Welcome back Mikey. We were wondering if you would make it back to the fold after the AGM. Don't let Proccy put you off. He is just an argumentative sod

Nice meeting you the other day mikey. Hope joe sorted your coupe out! Nice to meet you too mate! Actually, it turned out Joe didn't have the engine mount I needed... but he sorted my bonnet catch & swapped my broken grab handles out so it was worth the trip!

After taking the piss out of you at the roadside, when your engine went, karma struck me a blow, and my engine blew up! Hi Matt Yeah, I saw your thread, really gutted for you man! You know that's actually what happened to mine in the first place - auxiliary belt went & jammed the cam belt - luckily I was going about 3mph when it happened though! Still it obviously weakened the bottom end at the same time! Hope you get yours back up & running mate!

save up and come to the spa with us all! its going to be a very good meet! Cheers Sam! You bought the bee!! I was admiring it when I was up at Joe's back in September, sweet car! I shall try to get the cash together for Spa - when do you lot normally head out on the Friday? I'll keep my eyes open for other meets in the meantime!

How's she running now then mate? Hi Marco! Cheers mate, sorry to hear about your 'box... Still I'm sure Joe can source & fit a replacement for an affordable price. You thought about going for a 6 speed? Mine's running nicely now thanks, the recon engine that went in got a new big end & shells, so oil pressure is 2.9 bar hot! I've been meaning to try to make it to one of the Figaros meets but its a bit of a mission from me to be honest. Is there one coming up after Christmas sometime?

Hi Mike, Glad to hear you have finally got it sorted. You have not had the best of luck with that car have you. I feel a bit guilty for selling you the car. Auxillary belt jamming the cambelt you said. That belt had not been on there very long.

In fact it recently happened to another guy on here, I'm not sure if you saw MattM's thread... How's the GTV going these days??

Great to hear that my exercise machine is up and running again, pushing your car off that roundabout nearly killed me!!! Yeah, thanks again! With any luck you'll have to find alternative means of keeping fit!
