Thanks

Hopefully get to meet you guys all soon enough

As my office is about 5 min from Chapletown I’m sure I’ll see you out and about, I’m usually in my transit though

Another from Horwich here. Quite a few locally which is nice.

Looks a beast that R32.

The road from Hoddlesdon to Broadhead Rd is closed atm which you can get from Darwen to Haslingden on and end up on the last bit of Broadhead, any news on the MOT ?

honestly the car hasnt moved, its got about 250 boxes around it as we unpack, plan to get this wipers sorted on it in the next week or so then off for an MOT found a place who will do it in Darwin but it needs wipers.

Doesn’t happen to be CAMs does it? Used to take my Subaru there Brian’s a top bloke to, used to have a big powered R34.

[Matt_Tomlin1982]

nah its Darwin MOT or something, he seemed pretty good just need to sort the wipers.

I may try some other places though if any recommendations.

We have used Ken’s garage in haslingden in the past, it’s a good little local garage that does testing. There are a few places about that just do testing but the ones I know of are near the Trafford Centre. Good excuse for a longer run to the test though

Very off topic, but can you recommend somewhere good for a nice lunch in Horwich?
I'm over that way later today.

If you have a bit of time and prefer the countryside I’d head up to Rivington barns.

Darwen Darwin's Daa'an Unda mate

Good luck with the MOT

Did you get it over to Grinspeed?

[Matt_Tomlin1982]

I haven't , I'm just flying back from a stag do in ibiza so haven't had chance to do anything else

Going to get some body work painted up on it managed to find some original gtr skirts and rear spats so going to fit those and get mot done next week.

Managed to get a plate for it also

G7R VB "gtr v8"

It's a cheapo but kinda goes with the car

[Matt_Tomlin1982]

Good news i got the MOT done last week, sent papers off for dvla to issue log book so I think about 4 weeks before I can legally insure and run it

Dropped the car at body shop in Egerton to get some bits tidied up

Hopefully get it out on road in August

[Retro_Jim]
