Crapy weather and the Tiv

[Tvrjock]

Spent all day yesterday changing engine mounts then took the gearbox out and changed the Clutch. Got up this morning all geared up to put the gearbox in and its fkn raining cats and dogs. Really don't fancy laying on my back on the drive now (note to self get a garage)

Is a pain in the arse. The last three weekends have been very wet.

I bought a 3m x 3m gazebo from Argos to facilitate taking the 'box off my Elise last Saturday. Turns out I should have gone for the waterproof option as the rain actually soaked through after a while! Still it did make things a bit more confortable.

Morning John
Well i'm going to bite the bullit and put waterproofs on and get her back up and running, this is the second clutch i have burned in 2 years might have something to do with my calm driving style on the thunder runs

I can't imagine you were quiet and sedate at TiTT. Good luck today!

If you have room to get a temp shelter up I have got a marquee you can boorrow, I use it to work on the van when weather is bad.
It is really easy to put up and leaves room to work in comfort.

Mr Hughes is that from the Halloween run?

I have enjoyed the work garage while on shift this weekend, now have new Lambda's, Front top ball joints, HID's, Throttle cable and a steam cleaned engine bay

Love working weekends.

Welcome to use the garage when I'm here people at weekend.
