FYP, surely Friday isn't actually the weekend?! That's a boys night on all calendars.

Not sure about any show, as unfortunately I shall be on my way to sunny Weymouth on saturday for a mte's 40th. I'll definitely try and get to say high at the workshop though...

That's right, Friday should be a goer but the show is out of bounds.

give Francis a call and just ask if you can pop past friday, then he can tell you what he can rent and for how much. thats what I did

I think this was quietly developing in to an impromptu Cerb meet. Are you still going to be there? What sort of time?

[Killer Rhubarb]

be there from about 7 onwards mate. You can come cast your eye over my motor. As ive only had it a short time and I dont really know much about it - you can tell me if ive bought a shi*ter or not :P

thanks.

get some photos lads, and let us know how it goes.

As it's a speed6 I wouldn't really know what I was looking at
Weather's looking a bit ominous, car is nice and clean in my garage so prolly won't venture out if it's chucking it down

[Killer Rhubarb]

stop press! we might not be able to do it tonight. i have an issue with it sitting around and the time delay for the recon of the slave! may not be there after all. ARSEFEZ! wait for update... :/

[morebeanz]

So what happened?

Obviously I was waiting for an update...

...and FYP was scared by all the water falling from the sky!




We should try another evening when we can all stand around and find out what it's like when somebody actually wields a spanner!

[Killer Rhubarb]

HEHE Mr beans!

Ok... After a lot of cocking around we did it all. Many thanks to my mate matt (I held the torch a lot)

All the tools...

FULL BODY SHOP...

cafe (with coffee machines and sarnie makers)...

weilding gear...

wheel alignment bay...

[Dave 500]

How much would it cost to hire a ramp for the day??????

[Killer Rhubarb]

sod that! Pay us and we'll fix your car for you instead! :P

Seriously though my mate is a wizard with TVR's if you need some work done he can do it cheap as chips, or if you want to do it yourself, just call the phone number at the top and ask for francis. (note: he's also an expert at classic car restoration and paint)
