A Dark Blue Chimaera in Chippenham LxxNPJ (I think!) - I saw you passing the Cemetary on London Road heading towards Calne. I think I might also have seen you on Friday morning just going over the M4 at J17 heading towards Malmesbury.

I spotted a nice W reg lighter blue Chim in Focus car park earlier.... was in the tin top, so just opened the window to listen.....

....then came home and spent the afternoon polishing the car (so bound to rain now ) I found a wonderful set of shiney tail pipes under all the crap that no one has ever cleaned off

I went out for a drive yesterday to gauge whether the coolant leak would get me to Penninsula on Friday. I braked approaching a T-junction...my foot went to the floor and the car slowed gracefully to a halt just before the junction Looks like the master cylinder seals have had their day!

Jeez.... I'd be getting Peninsula to collect it with their truck. I think they only charge you for the fuel the truck uses to come get your car.... don't know if this has changed.

Glad nothing nasty happenned!

Yup, that's right - I've been on the blower to Peninsula today, it's being collected on Friday - pity, I was looking forward to going down there - my son was coming with me for the ride and to oggle at cars he hopes one day to own...keep dreaming Mike!

I had this happen to my old MGBGT, and also to the Mog, though I noticed the leak on the Mog rather than finding out on the road...I must be cursed!
