Hiya,

Sorry a bit late but due to finances I cannot attend this month :(

I also have a slow puncture in my front passenger tyre so i am only commuting to work at the moment and not doing much else, especially a spirited drive on my slicks lol

Sorry

See you soon,

Hi,

How did the meet go?

Tilly failed on her mot due to the front passenger shock. I had a feeling this was the case as the previous Sunday i drove her out of the garage to find a pool of oil where the front wheel was.
The shock must have just gone pop as I was driving home on the sat. I was really annoyed because they are only 3 years old!!!!! You don’t expect a new shock to last only 3 years on a weekend car.
Anyway its all getting fixed Monday coming with a new Mot and £150 + fitting later.

:clap: Thanks for the mixed turn-out last night...MR2's, Scoobies, and Ant's mystery machine.
Sorry we cut the run a bit shorter than planned, but damp and dark is not the ideal situation for a brisk blatt! (one of us would have been in a ditch before long, and with ours or Ant's ar$e end being tail happy a few times, it would have been one of us!)

Anyway, thanks to Sean, Ant, Barry/Nadia, Tina/Yvres for the run and James and Mark at the pub.
Sorry we missed you at the run James...need to post up next time mate.

See you all again soon. \:D/

Well, I did say this at the last meet but I'm not going to be doing the runs anymore - I won't drive my MK1 really hard so can't keep up with everyone. I love it to much to thrash it & with 118k on the clock she needs to be treated with some TLC (most of the time! :lol:)

The runs are brilliant tho, always fab roads and brilliant fun :D
