Well we did it. A little bet on Sunday that myself, DustyC and Cuzza off PH couldnt replace the duff head gasket on the S in 1 day, especially with minging hangovers
Starting at 10.30am (well, DustyC starting at 12.30pm) at 7 pm that evening Claire drove the S for the first time since August bank holiday
Many thanks go to Cuzza, DustyC and SotonS2, who not only came over for a while to help, but also lent us some tools that were essential for the job. Cheers muchly you guys.
oh, and Cuzza banned me from posting the video of him dancing to reggae with the distributor cap on his head as a rasta. But he failed to note that with my new camera I can freeze frame videos and he never said anything about not posting still shots

No probs Claire, glad to help.

We thought about it
Actually I need to find some longer springs to raise the suspension a little on the old gal.

aha - now there are the pics from Thursday night mate...
Shame that expensive new camera of yours doesn't make me look any better..
Still want to buy a Lambo though..
I dont think expensive cameras allow for the shakes I had at 3am after 8 pints, 2 G&T's and half a bottle of JD

Yes I was sad to hear you had sold yours - she was a beauty.
Secret is not to sell ... just make them go faster
