    Its a long way to pedal mate

    I have no daily driver at the moment, still looking for a car. The idea was to use the gt for the summer then buy something nice for the winter.

    Problem is that car has the worst luck in the world, to the point i now call it Satan. It was misfiring just the other week, then it seemed to sort itself out so i had it out for a little drive, i happened to look down and the clocks were reading 668 miles, i swear

    Briggs its been sent to test me big time.

    I'm looking out for a run about at the moment so might pop down, my kids fiesta is having headaches to as well as my mate nova, why we bother

    Any meets etc in the North East between 1-14th June? I'm coming home for a few weeks and wouldn't mind checking out some R5's.

    Hey Paul, have a look HERE

    Failing that, get yourself in a motor for the 4th June and come down to the National Day. You couldn't have picked a better time to come home!

    Re: National day North east convoy

    It's been a dreadfull year for the North east up to now! Everyones cars are in bits (apart from Briggsy's museum pieces), some are being painted, engine conversions, welding etc!! List goes on.

    I'll most likely be driving down Saturday and camping.

    I have told him to stop being a tart and to hold on to it in case he wants different ratios.

    Looks like I'll need to find a car...plus my old English licence and get to National day as I was hoping to take some Phase 1 front struts back home...I'm sure mine are from a Honda!
