You'll get there. Because now is more obvious that means you will sort it even quicker
I'm please with my blokes as well, the front end looks almost like new. Bonnet was a mess, with two big dents which I always tried to avoid when taking any pictures to post here

>>>
Just done the tail pipes and a big wash is coming around 6pm.

I'd love to say Iv had the time to get all the bits done I wanted but it's simply not true.

My good lady is taking the car to work for a quick wash. I'm hoping they can squeeze time to do the rear caliper and pads Iv had in my boot since March.

Still - looking forward to the trip 👍

Well it's time for another update from your romping reporter - Dezzy myself and your raving reporter all met up North of Birmingham at the m6 services to compare notes. Raving decided to stay at Chester and head up tomorrow as he knew he couldn't keep up with the sheer power of my 3.7! Dezzy and myself pressed on and arrived up at the Lairds palace at 9pm and have been plied with drink until we gave up all our secrets! Watch this space for Valeting action first thing tomorrow!

Getting ready for the journey but unlike others who are cleaning their cars and making sure they look the best I am just putting mine together.

This is what the car looked at 06:00 this morning.



Definitely not going to win any prizes, due to me leaving everything to the last minute and some unforeseen issues and bad weather could not get professional paintjob so had to some painting myself using aerosol can and did not do too good job if I may say so myself. But at least it will be a bit different.

It'd be great to see you. You can't miss Tyndrum, just keep heading up the A82. Send me an email by PM and I'll send you a detailed route plan so you can pick us up part way if you like. But be quick - leaving in 2 hours!
