Workshop Day - Colchester Essex - April 7

[agentpineapple]

i had a great time, a massive thankyou to wicky and his sausage sandwiches.....yum yum
and a thankyou to styler for showing me how to do a service. and it ended in a noisey ride thru the countryside. top fun, we missed you kev, i spent most of the time trying to stop yeti nicking my frame
we only had a couple of tiny showers otherwise the weather was chilly but fine.....
whose doing the next one

[MacV2]

First off a massive THANK YOU To John 'Wicky the sausage' for having us all round.....

Had a good day, your be pleased to know Kev that we did have a bit of rain, just a small shower or two, so your rain dance kinda worked but obviously you can't dance very well.

Just for the record....6 Red, 2 black 3 blue in 3 different shades, 1 Teal & one yellow. Red wins!

Marty was shaking quite violently most of the day, he claims it was the cold as he had no thermals but I think it was withdrawal symptoms as he spent the whole day away from Evil- bay, with a bit of pineapple fear thrown in. He did get his just deserts it was a bowl of tiramisu.

1 x CCT change, 1 x complete clutch swap, 1 x R/R swap, some breaking issues again sorted by Jonesy the Master Braker & Marty got his full service.

Lots of tea was consumed & Wicky got his special sausage out & treated us all!

Had a bit of a blast out afterwards round the lanes at the end of the day.

All in all a very enjoyable day's Stormin' !

Cheers Wicky enjoy the wine gums.

Well done everyone on turning out - I hope everyone got on the right road after Maldon either back down the A12 or back up towards Suffolk/Norfolk. I tried to keet the speed down along the twisties coz of Bazza's bruv on 125. May the next Workshop Day be a bit warmer.

Tony have slightly bigger pics of the last group line up?

[agentpineapple]
