Lopez, that sounds great mate. I've got a bit of work to do to my car before the meet but nothing as major as what you said.

That's called "routine maintenence" on French cars, not "major work" :D
 
Going to see if I can get my clutch release bearing sorted in the next week, then its a case of new rear pads & disks, joy.

Need to sort out the exhaust rattle, but thats more of an "if I can be bothered", as its not a huge problem, more an annoyance :(
 
I know what you mean El. There's nothing more annoying than holding the revs at 3000rpm in 2nd gear waiting to come out of a bend to get the power down than hearing a horrible metallic grinding sound.

I think the only way for me to fix mine, is to gut my cat :cool:

I can tell you with authority that this is not the case. I can think of a more annoying noise.
 
Yeah, would that be the noise or some numpty RAC man dragging your car sideways up his truck, cracking bodywork in the process? :(
 
It was indeed, I felt so sorry that it had to happen to one of our members :( Shame you got raped with the insurance too Gilly.
 
Well another perk was being a traffic cop for the afternoon ;)

I'm actually 100% amazed that the police never turned up to shift an incident that was blocking a main road on a blind bend, up a hill! Most times they would be there in an instant to annoy you!
 
I'm sure Gilly remembers my expression as I got out of my car and walked towards him.

It was a shocked/almost crying/feeling sick expression :(

But still, it's fixed now and we have to move on. I'm sure MM3 will help him to recover fully ;)

I'm going to be quite on edge though. I'm having my suspension changed the weekend before. Seeing as how I don't have a ball-joint seperating tool, I'm going to have to crack the joint with a hammer :o
 
My front bumper has 99% pushed its self out now, just got a small dent and a mark on it.

Bad thing is I now have a dent in my rear bumper which I hope will push its self out and I lost part of the indicator cluster. :rolleyes:
 
Is anybody going to this meet with a mint car!
Sounds like's everybodys is battered in some way!!!
