Cracked? Must be all that cold weather we're having???
And I thought I was unlucky with cars!
If you bring that hammer and I bring my engine crane... we should just be about there!

Yeah, that lot sounds spot on! Take that lot and the rest of us will need to take nothing!
Just choose a couple from that list, and I'll choose two as well.... JT?

Does it...? Oops.... that's a mistake!
It's supposed to say 'Getting ready for SPA 2011'!!!!!
I'm taking the GTV again this year... I found some nasties that I can't fix in time unfortunately. Bit gutted, but I'll be back in it soon.
No doubt on the ferry back we'll be planning our next track day thingy anyhow

Nowhere near what you've done Bob............it's a real shame you came up against it at the last.
Anyhow chaps, what's the petrol crisis like around you? Having a mare down here with pumps dry ten minutes after a delivery! I've only got 1/4 tank left and with another strike due I could be struggling to get enough juice to get me out of the country. GODDAMIT  |

Petrol in France is the same price as here, and in Belgium it's more expensive than here - due to the low pound against the Euro.
No supply problem here.

Hi chaps.
Who says Alfas rust eh?????
The bumper on my car hasn't been off in the 15 years it's been on the road (could tell by the fact the washers on insides of wheel arch were still shiny!) and there was only one surface patch on the back panel and some surface rust on the bottom rail. It's all treated and undersealed now but I didn't think that was bad going............I was expecting far worse!!!
