I obviously miss my four...

Massively overheated the brakes on the 306 today while crossing the local hills, smoking at a couple of junctions :D And I've found that if you remove the ABS the rear brakes actually work, keeping the discs rust free, for once!

Gotta love that smell! What does your four need done to get back on the road?

Gaffer tape is like "the force" - it has a light side, a dark side and it holds the universe together.

There's nothing that shouts "Poor Workmanship"  more than wrinkles in the gaffer tape.....

It needs 1 (possibly 2) sills repairing/replacing (the dreaded metal cancer) and a waterpump replacement and possibly 2 tyres before it'd even pass its MOT, then it needs at least 2 alloys replacing due to flatspots :( It's 200 miles from me at the moment as I have no room to work on it here. My boss has offered me space in one of his barns, which I will take him up on soon, but that does require a ~£150 trailering event and when the missus never complains but would llike a holiday and a home I feel awful dragging a toy up here and dropping £1k on repairing it alone!

So that's it settled then... We'll trailer the motor to it's new resting place, then stand around it in a barn drinking beer and eating biscuits.

And that, my friend, is how you get things done.
