No WITW?
I dont suppose I'm the only one who looks forward to reading the "What's In The Workshop" thread over the weekend/on mondays but now that Gareth's car is fixed up i find I'm missing the thread come Monday morning!! :ROFL
C'mon MJ, surely there's someone out there needing your help

Well my S8 is currently laid up on SORN and I'm ever hopeful that it's next move will be to The Workshop (note capitals).

There is rather a lot in the workshop right now  Big Red is in there in disgrace as she ran out of fuel at 55 miles range, right in front of a very smug truck driver  First time she's done that to me while driving about, despite going in to the red frequently and the tank not having been fiddled with for several years.My Murple is in there because I still haven't finished rescuing it. I need to take the engine out and do all the usual stuff, hopefully over the next few weeks. Its a lovely place to sit now. It just disappears in a cloud of oil smoke if the engine gets hot. I think you guys will probably guess which the other one is... More on that later
