You about for a short period of time over the weekend? I might drive on up and have a go?

Should be mate, I'm planning a trip to Southampton sunday to collect some bits from Capri, although if you're coming up and could bring said bits, I could give you the money for Alex, and the wheel bolts I have for him. My ankles currently FUBAR so driving is difficult, so that could work out ok??

Yeah that sounds like a plan then. I'll get your bits from Alex and blip up on Sunday

Awesome, I'll make sure I'm not several hundred miles away then, or buried under a bus!

It's a date. Although much against your probable wishes, I'm leaving the valver at home and bringing the Xantia....incase this one needs a tow

I went silent on this thread because I had such high hopes of the ebay TRS. Kitch, if you ever decide to sell one or 'tother, please let me know!

Do I need to shave?

hhmm, well, I'll forgive the Xantia, but obviousley you'll have to stay at LEAST 10 car length's behind incase anyone I know see's me!

Not if it needs a tow you won't. You'll be connected to the Xantia by about 4 feet of pole

Right, well as of this afternoon I own this little beauty:

Bit of a result really. I knew the work needed already, so it didn't come as a surprise. But I didn't realise the rest of it would be so good. This car WILL be at the national, and in as close to show-winning condition as I can get it.

The 16v also managed 38mpg today too, so was really chuffed about that. Even if it does sound like a bag of nails in a washing machine. But I'm glad I ditched the Xantia at the last minute to take the BX there.

Many thanks to Chris, and Chris
