Spent most of the morning trying to think up an excuse not to put it on the rollers, but in the end bravery prevaled! Anyone there will know this wasn't the case, but it sounds good!

Got home in record time from Southampton and gave it a right good waxing today too! Might even do the airbox mod some time this week!!

Nice to see everyone and meet a few people I've only ever 'spoken' to on here.

Mate, it's really nice that the weekend has instilled a bit more confidence in your faith with the motor. I made the mistake of getting rid of a car after it let me down once, it was something fairly straight forward, but it left us stranded at midnight on the wrong side of the slip road on junction 17 on the M4, a terrifying experience. I had sold the car on within a few weeks as I lost confidence in it. What a mistake that was! I loved that car and it's replacement was a big let down.

So keep the faith with this one Andrew, you might just regret it if you dump it.

I'm just sorry Thumper had the puncture after you stopped to help me

Don't be silly and if you ask Mark, he will tell you it is all my fault for driving through the rubbish.

Damn, I fully intended to attend this but due to a broken down boiler had other things on my mind and totally forgot about it! I'm glad to see it all went well and apologies for not turning up.
