Only what the tyres have given it.
The coil spacers are on the shelf in the garage waiting in anticipation to get fitted. :roll:

For those wondering why my name hasn't been added to the list (I know 1 person was anyway), for various personal reasons not helped by the fact I bust a brake line this afternoon, which I can't get fixed in time, I won't be attending this time.

For those who I have parts for (Fog Express), I have arranged for Tom to bring these down to you

Hope you all have a great day, and for those who are going for the first time, I hope you thoroughly enjoy yourselves and I hope to meet you in the future.

That's been called off on account of the guy who was selling it taking it out yesterday and one of the front wheels falling off :lol:
Told Sharon she'd be better off with a Fronty, but she's insistent on a Freelander for some strange reason. :?:

If I manage to get a new brake line fitted today then I'll try to get down tomorrow afternoon (as I have other personal reasons I can't do the whole day), but as it stands I can't get it done until Friday :cry:

Im sorry to say this people but, unfortunatley I wont be attending tomorrow.

I have just forked out a fortune to get my car towed to my girlfriends place due to not having my own recovery.

Dont know what the hell is wrong with it so, instead of a fun day in the sun I will be having swearing fits and throwing tools left, right and centre trying to get the bloody thing going again.

Im gutted, I was really looking forward to it. Hopefully the next one wont be too far away.

Greg - Just heard from Steve and he is sorry to say that he didn't get his unmentionable repaired so he won't be able to make it.
Did offer him a ride in the back of mine but I think he wants to carry on with the sockets and spanners and get his motor working.

She's now got 31" Special Tracks, so hopefully fun and games ensue tomorrow :twisted:
