    It was my bad a few months ago Barry as I did forget and then promised my GF something I couldn't then get out of and last Sunday was my dad's birthday so that was a no-no. But am free after this weekend.

    My car is in a sorry state at the rear arches, but I'm not going to bother to get them fixed until dry weather.

    Right, I've just heard back from the garage, all being well the shocks should be done early next week, so should have the car back before next weekend (10th December). I'll update when i get confirmation, but the car (and me) should be available from next weekend onwards for a meet.

    Great news Paul. Sorry to hear of some others problems. Hopefully mild weather will continue - still no sign of any salt on the roads!!

    My head gasket blew on saturday night majorally. My block has also fucked as well. Going to JB weld the block, but will noway be using my car on meets or anything other than work now im afraid. Radiator and front bumper bar to be replaced as well. I did not have a good weekend.

    Apologies to everyone. If anyone has a spare block which isn't crap please let me know

    I don't know what's going to happen to be honest Kate. I can't stand the site of mk1s or any mr2's at the moment - its pissed me off so much and left me in such a sad mood i'm thinking about converting my car back to standard, selling it and selling the £900 quids worth of parts I have left over and buy a FWD diesel.

    That is bad.... (although I have a humble mondeo diesel estate and it is such an honest car and never lets me down even though it knows my favourite car sits smugly in the car port).

    I am not sure I could do anything to help but don't want you to give up. Maybe coming along to a meet will get your enthusiasm up again?

    If the bodge on my current engine holds out throughout winter that'll be okay.

    Ollie has kindly offered me an entire engine for £100, he's got a few kicking about, but I will strip it down and rebuild it with all new bearings etc and put it in during the spring/summer.

    I might go, but don't get your hopes up because it'll just make me feel sad I can't drive mine properly.
