Thought I would start a new thread for general chit chat as the previous thread was getting rather long.

Well this wasn't what I expected yesterday...

And before you think it I wasn't being lifted for parking on double yellow lines as a few people walking by thought!

As I reversed into my parking space in the underground car park at work a cloud of steam erupted from (I think the expansion cap), so rather to be safe than sorry I arranged recovery to AE Wilcox, so that they can check it out. Will find out what the diagnosis is on Monday. Fingers crossed it was the expansion cap suddenly failing.

:D Well done. Unfortunately as it was experienced track-dayers only I think they would have rejected my application :(

Big bill! New HG, oil rail, oil seal, cam belt tensioner, new under body coolant pipes, and new cat as it was blowing at the seal between cat and back box (I knew it was blowing somewhere and had been waiting for some dry weather to take a look and fit the TT), but the garage are going to fit the TT whilst they have it on the ramps. Saves me the job of getting the old bolts out! :lol:

So there I was browsing through FaceBook looking at who I remember from people who went to my school and who should crop up but Bev!

What year were you there Bev? I have no idea in what part of your 30s you are ;) You may remember my brother or sister depending on when you were there.
