yorkshire_spam Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Last week was a total nightmare at work, some late nights/early mornings, so I haven't had anything like the prep time I was expecting. (I didn't even get to the P+P monthly meeting on friday... finished work around 11:30pm!)Oh well. It starts, goes and stops. That'll do!

Shed 1969 Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Guys ..I know the mad prep feelings all too well,in fact do I dare admit to missing that mild panic mixed with adrenaline buzz I seem to have the second week of September every other year (but not this year taking a break from Euro trips this year)Just remember back in the day when we only had one car and it was invariably old-people used to jump in their "old" car and drive a couple of thousand miles and just give the oil a quick check..These are tough old basic cars the trick is to drive to what you have underneath you and you will get round hook or by crookIts too late in the day to worry too much now so just go have fun! I took 11th hour to a new level back in 2011 - read this and take heart http://shedtune.blogspot.co.uk/2011/11/10cr-shed-and-all-that-part-one.htmlwe made it round by the way! Wishing you all luck and be safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy thompson Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Brakes bled, decent spare 20/60 oil sourced, spares and tools rationalised - off to catch the ferry at 9am in the morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Keys Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Quoted from timbancroft61 Started on my car months ago, still working on the thing right up to the limit.In fact, totally pi**ed off with the whole shooting match.Everything seems such a PITA! Never mind, your not on your own! Same here. Despite months of work, i still have a torque convertor that isn't quite right. Just hope it hangs together. See ya there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
