Pop on down - we'll help you finish it ;)

It's a tradition to take someone's car apart at these meets (usually me getting dirty/cut/burned faffin about in someone's engine bay lol) so if you do have a problem, let us know :D

Colour coding the engine bay is a great idea, wish I'd thought of it...

lol - I want to replace the bushes and somehow get the bolt moving on the track end rod so I can sort my tracking out. If you can do those I'll be there!

Wishbone bushes are a job for a driveway and a bench vice (done a few now ;) )

Freeing off a track rod isn't too hard.

And who is leading the drivers championship ??????

stribo

But he's not running away with it like Vettel did. Are you saying as soon as someone starts winning a championship it gets boring, as tha only gives you the first race.;)

Sunday 27th July 2014, 08:05
Right, got o rings, paint (possibly the wrong one, dunno yet), washers for HWSNBN. And a bootfull of tools.

Rich... I've had a look but it appears my induction building bits are among the stuff that's in storage awaiting the new man-cave. Sorry dude.

Am I supposed to be bringing/doing anything else for anyone?

Sorry I couldn't make it today, Charlie's not well, and I didn't think it fair to leave Rachel to look after him alone. On the plus side, the Hungarian Grand Prix was brilliant and was won by
