To Wapster, BitchPON and my cousin Barry for all their help over the last year out in the winter, wind and rain helping me in return for nothing other than a bit of abuse and the odd cuppa

Its almost a year to the day that my Saph has been off the road, and without the help from the aforementioned people it would probably still be off the road!

Fired her up yesterday after rebuild and she sounded sweet as a nut after the initial 5 mins feels very tight and new! Just got to get some running in miles under her belt.... rather slowly this time round though


Cheers fellas, owe you all beers bigtime

 

I'll post some better pics when ive tidied her up a bit and given it a good wash, but heres a couple of my bitches at work and ma car

 

fair play

 

why was it off the road Dave?

 

what work have you had done dave?

 

Bounced it off a bit of armco whilst exiting a roundabout broadside front passenger side. had new wing, bonnet etc.... but whilst it was off the road, we took the engine out i was nearly in tears looking at it sometimes lol, but freshly rebuilt, new valves, grp a headset, cambelt, tensioner, turbo blah blah, basically top end rebuild!! all done now though, just gotta stick a few bits back on and she'll be going for an MOT and some fresh squirt!

 

took so long though cos we done it all ourselves ROFL

 

lol. At least its done mate. Well done. Another one back on the road. just in time for winter and the nasty salt and ice

 

Well done to those who helped you out shows what real friends will do

 

Well done to all who helped

Nice one Davey...safe driving now

 

Amen to that

ha ha my thoughts exactly Rich... i will be driving it VERY slowly till winters over

 

Seems like the sensible option Dave. Nice and slowly

 

Cost you a fair fortune in Maccy Ds though!

Can't wait for a spin in it though

 

Worth every penny Rich

No probs re having a spin... you can drive though

 

No way am I driving it - if I crashed it, Cola would kick my arse

 

best we wait till summer and a big airfield then

She'd probably kick my arse too

I do enjoy taken the escos to work though... had it full to the brim with PCs and shit today... good job she never saw

 

And how about to your lovely girlfriend for the loan of an escos to ship pc parts about (oooh, yes I found the post ) and I even put oil, water and petrol in

Even though it's not my car, I'd like to say ta too. If it wasn't for you guys I would have a VERY grumpy fella.

But that said Dave and Rich, you're right, you will both be slapped if you cause that car to come off again... not til I've proved my one's quicker anyway.... anyone fancy a trip to the pod x

 

Pod sounds promising, but best you get someone else to launch your car

At least one of ya has to take their car on track at Bedford!

 

and what about me

cheap if not free parts from my saff



glad it's all running, ya tosser


try not to break it again

 

ah yes, and a special thanks to Cola for the loan of her escos for the last year cheers

...and to the little one for donor parts from his car.. it lives on in mine mate i think every cossie should carry a donor card

If there are still places available when i have spare cash Rich, i shall book christmas et all beckons first though....

 

Richard I have NO problem launching it... just need to get a new clutch first. Tis slipping somewhat

Dave: No problem I look forward to learning to drive RWD stylee some time soon.

(and before people panic I was entrusted with an RS500 before in the wet don't cha know!!!)

 

 

nice one Dave! You say you'll take it easy but at the first sign of rain it'll be arse out

I promised that when i collected my car last week i'd take it easy because it was sooo wet but that didnt last long


chop

 

Good to see you back on the road Dave
well pleased for you

 

Cheers Charlie Bonnet painted up a treat too

Chop, there aint no way im going out in the rain unless im on an airport runway im gonna at least save it so i can get a 'bit' of track action next year
