Thanks every one for turning up, it turned it less of a workshop day & more of a workless day...but still a good hoot.

Big thanks to Michaela for sterling work in the kitchen extending the 09.30 am bacon sarnie curfew, which cheered Marty up no end... :Beer Popcorn:

Check your oil Bananaman!

Looks like I missed the party! I arrived at P******l Rd about 17:15, didn't see any bikes and couldn't remember which house was Mac's - there was a Tranny Connect van (Royal Borough of Greenwich?) which I thought might be Macs but not sure enough to leave the Abba stand outside the house - so I drove an hour each way for nowt - doh!

Mac, I'll revisit during the week, what house number is it?

Cheers Mac, good day out, just a bit worried about getting flashed by a camera coming into the Dartford tunnel on the way back following Marty (ironically, had I been going fast enough to keep up with him I would have been fine- he knows where they all are. But as I'd fallen behind I was trying to catch up & remembered a bit too late. Think it may have got me doing 45ish in a 30. Damn! / fingers crossed.

Well done that Mac, the man makes a decent bacon sarnie

Also thanks to Duffy for the HP sauce.

There must be half a shop's worth of biscuits and chocolate, are they the Grain equivalent of Wurther's, Mac?

Oh, and Bazza; I've got about ten or a dozen sets of CCT's for you- don't really want them weighing down the rucksack up to Yorkshire so I think I'll drop them off to your house Friday morning and we can go from there.

Mac, just a tip, don't eat all the chocolate, it'll be useful for making some sets of alternator cover caps for Ebay.

Even though it didn't rain, I provided Puddles.


Cadbury's ones, as it turned out.

(no, the toilet floor ones weren't, me, I pissed in a corner of the garage when no-one was looking).
Clue: don't reuse the coolant in the lemonade bottle)

That camera is evil. Your typical revenue maker that one. Sneakily placed right after the speed limit is reduced by 10mph in a dark tunnel so not clearly seen (especially when it's raining and visor and specs are wet :roll: ) and on a slight bend with no obvious road safety reasons for it being there. Barstards.... :evil: :evil:

Good to hear the day went OK for you all. Is it my imagination or does YMV look like a girl. :lol: :wave:
