Another weekend more or less over.

What did you get up too?

I worked Saturday till 3 then was out for a birthday party with some crap dj call spyder, look it up on you tube, hideous!!!

Sunday as per usual nursing a hang over and had my daughter. Did the usual, make some cakes etc and took her to the park, made a fat Sunday lunch and basically that's about it, now sitting here not looking forward to going back work.

Anyone top my boring weekend, highlight of mine was taking the bike out for a very shirt blast, was Wayyy to cold, got the exhaust glowing tho-

It's strange, we seem to be really busy one day then nothing the next, I have started buying new cars and exporting them which is another wage to be honest, I have two toyotas on order as we speak, the v8 land cruiser diesels, they are both supposed to be stuck at port due to euro 5 emission problems.

I have a nice free courtesy car till febuary, the new delivery date (auris sport), both cars were meant to be September orders so got given this to keep me quiet, the miss us likes it anyway.

Most garages around here are just plodding too, it's scary but hopefully we will all pull through it.


Carl

I drove to inverness through Friday night/ Saturday morning in a Volvo fh tractor unit, turned right after 20 mins on the a66 and went through the national parks and mountains up to edinburough before hitting the main roads. Awsome drive.
We parked up about 5 in the morning next to the loch ness, waking and opening the curtains was awsome:







And a waterfall where I was parked, we never knew it was there until the morning.

Friday night got p*ssed in Southport as it was my birthday, Saturday was a right off, this morning had to bodge/fix the Mrs car as she had ripped the exhaust off Roll eyes , I then attempted to fix a small oil leak on my car which resulted in a knife stuck in the rad which then p*ssed out coolent Doh , plus side is that oil leak is fixed but prob need new rad Doh , my car now has no front end on, surprising how simple jobs like replacing a jubilee clip can go.

Anyways Carl are you still supplying the Nissen or Valeo alloy Rads? if so which one is better and how much? Might be in/by Leicester next friday might pop in Smile

Friday night went out and got p*ssed up in the village, worked saturday morning, washed the car saturday afternoon and fitted a new spoiler, did a pub crawl of the village in the evening, this morning recovered, wasted a few hours on BF3 and MW3 this afternoon and back at the pub this evening for a couple of quiet beers to set me up for the week ahead.

Carl, I dont suppose you are able to just supply the metal radiator caps for the alloy nissens radiators?
I have a genuine peugeot plastic style cap on mine and its not an ideal fit.
