    I'm there, providing the S70 doesn't shat itself somewhere on the A1.

    Ade: just run that yellow thing you have.

    I'd love to go, but at a 50th birthday party on Saturday night, so probably won't be up for an early start Sunday.

    Mine's got a tiny split in the top oil cooler hose.
    Can't bring myself to pay the £100+ to Volvo for one at the min!

    Ah well, if we get through scrutineering, everyone else may struggle for traction after us!

    Im in!

    Scrutineer nearly ripped my seat out the car and activated the pre-tensioners... things changed a little last year after an incident I think.

    Cant wait, mates, beer, steak and fire

    Oh and if Liams coming we'll need Vodka and a saw to chop the trees down
    Arguing is pointless....she may not be right but she's never wrong

    he loved his job that man. He should go on a holiday to a banger racing event, & come back refreshed with a whole new attitude....& not caring about whether I've crushed my vent pipe with a cable tie

    Just remembered, I walked in on him showing his new tattoo to the girls in the signing on shed
