The bitch is back

[nofinchance]

[:)] After three weeks my electrical problems are sorted and I get my car back Saturday[:D].Well I say sorted the bill seems a lot for a little but hey ho ? I asked the guy to go through the whole thing and repair as required.He says the fuel gauge works and all it needs is the car filling up[V]Now I am a woman and blonde but even I can fill the tank.I did it once and that gauge does not move.Also he says the lights pop up now but we will see if the high beam is repaired when I collect.Hmmm garages garages I feel a tantrum coming on[:(!]Any way once my elec wows are sorted all I have to do is find where the coolant is going to,see why the oil pressure is low,waxoyl the whole thing,get a new mot,re-trim in tan,find money for tax and insurance.BTW I suddenly realised today I have not 'sorned' my car [:0].Problems problems.Life was too simple before my TR7 [;)]

Hi Zoe,
Just got my entry back from 'Classics On The Common' excellent evening out, limiting the numbers this year to a thousand (1300+ last year [:0] ), was there last year, how hot was it?? Took me 1 1/2 hours just to drive through Harpenden. Awesome at the end with everyone cheering, both sides of the road for miles, each and every car that leaves. Hope the weather the same this year. hope to see you there.
If you can make it well worth it [8D] Anyone intrested, PM. me and will forward the email i have with entry form attached, all money goes to charity which is never a bad thing [:)]
Cheers John

LIVE LIFE A QUARTER OF A MILE AT A TIME!

[tr7inc]

To be honest Zoe once i get the front part of the car sorted ( ie a little rust here and there nothin major, then the bumper the headlights etc can ll be put back on, as they have all been cleaned etc, just waiting for the warm weather to arrive so i can treat the minor rust before painting i will of course keep you posted on that
