yes mate, I'd still got your address in my pm's
Thanks, it arrived safe and sound.

Shame I might not get to use it... I've got what sounds like the coolant buzzer sounding constantly and now I'm getting dragged a million miles away to the sodding mother in law's until the day before the Gathering. So I can't try and sort out WTF is happening and there's no way I'm gonna drive a seven-hour round trip with that bloody noise going :evil:

Ahhh damn. Noticed my nice new-ish exhaust is blowing the last few drives. The exhaust shop used some sort of paste/putty to seal between the headers which were already on the car and the main pipe which they made up :(. I'm gonna pop in and see what they can do but I doubt it'll be gone before RRG :lol: hahah

I'll be giving mine a simple wash on Saturday afternoon :lol:. My paint isn't in very nice condition anyway :shock:

Popped into the exhaust shop and they sorted the blowing out. Pretty good guys there. Just hope it holds out a bit longer this time :lol:

Hopefully the rain will all pass over on the Saturday night...we'll be at a hotel nearby, so I won't mind too much, as long as it doesn't wash off all my new rubbery goodness :lol:

bird poo beads off my painted cars in the rain...pretty sure that's good protection ;)

the rx7 is coated in a peelable rubber coating, not much I can do...apart from prey it doesn't peel off on its own :lol:

Given the weather forecast is anyone planning to bring a gazebo ?

Will one fit in the back of a '7 ?

I'll see if I can get my one in.
