Just remembering that day too

As long as you're 'properly going' at the time, that makes it all okay...



























Worry about the meeting with big Bill later

The only thing that could possibly happen when you have all had one pint of RedStripe brave juice, you have 4 very fast cars, a LONG empty and open road and me, Martin, Sean and Renton driving the aforementioned fast cars....

It was ALWAYS going to end in tears that one!

Martins best mate big bill turned up and met me....

One indestructable Fixit Gearbox.

If that launch didn't break it.... NOTHING will.

It will have been freshly serviced and rebuilt. and will have a new mainshaft fitted as old one was slightly worn

No idea at all on Price I will ask martooon if anyone wants it

P.S you can't have it until my Bara dogbox turns up in November either!

WOW
You did it properly then

The fixit`s have a rep to break the mainshaft in the transfercasing on launches, so that only shows how strong they are
