Jim - If you need someone to 'road test' the repairs, I'll volunteer selflessly (and I'll check the 4WD system whilst the wheels are off the ground)..
Also happy to assist with suggestions for next years meet (and possibly pre-test the flight potential of the roads)

If I need a 'flight test' Richard, you'll be the first to know!
 As to the meet, we're having the first get together at Brian's on Wednesday, but the main issue will be 'where in Scotland' and we plan to hold a poll for that once the summer meets are over. All ideas welcome of course!

Well, expecting the worst, I returned the voicemail message to Andy at A4 Audi today. You may recall my '8 was in for a few jobs whilst I'm laid up after a knee op. The biggest job was to remove no:5 spark plug, which they'd tried in vain before. Andy was afraid that they'd either snap the plug or find a stripped thread, which would require the head off and sending to a machine shop to fix.
So, I'd been saving my pennies (after increasing the taxes on the serfs) and was prepared for an almighty bill (as I'd have the belt done at the same time, even though it's not due). Andy was very apologetic and said that unfortunately..... .....he was unable to charge me anything for this work! They'd spent a couple of days with loads of penetrating fluid and a long bar on the socket and managed to shift the plug with no damage! So, just a replacement fan belt and, probably, a couple of new front calipers to pay for. Now that's an honest garage prepared to go the extra mile!
