Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 31/01/2006 04:30

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.

Craig if your stuck give me a shout and I could swing in past and pick you up on my way home.

Would have been good to meet up but I may be going offshore on Thursday - Just a maybe for now so may be up for it.

Cheers Though..

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!

Re: Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 02/02/2006 02:22

Well the work on the car was getting started today, so assuming (and its a big assume!

) that there are no problems or complications I should have it by the weekend to meet up with you guys.

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....

Lets just hope your flux capacitor has stood the test of time.

Otherwise that's reeeeeeeeeeeally gonna cost you.

Re: Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 03/02/2006 01:42

Incidentally, what is a clutch fork?

Posted By: mattB

Re: Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 03/02/2006 01:43

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.

Re: Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 03/02/2006 03:25

I've been doing some interesting reading...

clutch gubbins

Re: Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 04/02/2006 00:00

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...

Re: Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 04/02/2006 00:37

Good news.

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

Tell you what, in that case I'll spring for a cup of Tea in the morning, hows that?

Posted By: Tartandude

Re: Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 04/02/2006 00:44

Darn a whole 1.50

With a bit of luck and if I can get up in time I will pick the car up tomororow morning and should be able to join you guys at 11.30..

What are the plans anyway?

Posted By: mattB

Re: Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 04/02/2006 01:50

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.

Re: Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 04/02/2006 05:06

Im free up until 3ish as have something to do that I forgot about....

Re: Aberdeen Meet 4th Feb - 04/02/2006 21:48

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.!
