Hi everyone

Well the new engine is due to arrive at the garage on Friday (it's out of a 97 Griffen with 67000 on the clock and comes with history.) All for £884.00 inc VAT and Delivery.

Hopefully we should be back on the road in a couple of weeks.

Ian

Abbott 900 - what colour is your car? I have seen a few nice modified 900's around Farnham.

Hi

I'm actually in Wrecclesham - near the Bear & Ragged. When it's finished the three of us should get together for a couple of beers.

Current status is that they are going to start work installing the new engine on Tuesday so, if all goes well it should be back on the road sometime during the last week of the month

(I might just hold off until 1st March to save wasting a months road tax as the last one ran out at the end of Jan.) I've also bought those nice ALU21 wheels from Woofage (must get up to collect them from him) which will smarten it up a bit.

bu99er, I said to Woofage I would pick them up next weekend if he had not sold them by then.

 

[Ian Wigg]

You're still welcome to pick them (for me!!)

It's black convertible with 17" Azev A wheels, it also has a very distinctive reg plate as well which most people notice first about the car...

I'd be up for meeting for a beer at some point. I'm in the process of selling my 250bhp Abbott convertible, and I've already bought a mint T16s to replace it. (Buying a house so needs must)

It would be good to know some one competent round here...

 

[Ian Wigg]

It's Neil @ Station Garage in Liphook (On the Beaver Trading Estate). hey're just an ordinary small garage but they know what they're doing, are cheap and are very helpful.

watch out for the green volvo S60 on the 331....it has hidden lights in the grille and on the back shelf...if you get my drift

 

[Ian Wigg]

There's also an STi Scooby - which really isn't playing the game!

 

[swintooh]

The whole point is to faster than this scooby or S60... All they can do then is to send you photos with the ticket
