[/quote]You're Ok Dave, There's another 90 days before YOU need to think about building a car.My 1st replacement (and now a non-replacement) co-driver has said I can still borrow his Vitesse. That will be the one that is sat round the back of his garage with a seized engine and that hasn't seen an MOT in 25 years........:-(Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyb Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Yeah and my Stag's still sitting on the drive with no brakes, no engine and no MOT - some much for shaking it down on the LCC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bancroft Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 LCC is the GT6 shakedown.Only jobs after this (hopefully) are to fit some decent horns and lights, oh yes and sort a better air filter system for the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thescrapman Posted June 1, 2007 Author Share Posted June 1, 2007 To quote CAruthers...(quote)Well I have no idea what is going to happen to the Bancroft/Carruthers entry...Tim came over to mine after boiling over on the way here - all was going well until we got to the motorway and lost all drive. Recovery was called and I did some cross country to get back to my house and prep the 2000.However Tim is still waiting for recovery and the hours are still ticking away...!(quote)Mmmmmm... I think they are currently enjoying a lazy comfortable drive 'oop north' in James's saloon.CheersColin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Bancroft Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 I am thinking its the clutch plate- well actually hoping it is!Lost drive as I slowed down for the roadworks at jct 25 on the M25. No bad noises or anything- most strange. I expect that when I pull the box out tomorrow the plate will fall apart!?I will not discuss how long it took to recover the car home on Friday!Otherwise the car was going so well. I'd been a mungo and not screwed up a hose clip and lost some coolant on the way to James', otherwise the car was fine. I have even managed to contain the cockpit heat!!!! I am supposed to be going to Belgium in two weeks time and then using her for the TD at Castle Combe on 09/07/07- so I need to get my finger out!
