Quick question... is this the entrance to Bures Pit, that some of us are meeting at tomorrow morning??

Its a pay and play day tomorrow so there will be a sign up. as you drive off the road 100 yards on left is some hard standing prob best to stop there.

fishsponge · Mar 19, 2011

ok... so presumably that junction is the correct entrance?

and do you mean I should drive 100 yds or so up that road towards the off road area before pulling over (in order to save having to pay for entry for no reason)?

wickford90 · Mar 19, 2011

Stu if you get a chance to put the MM on disc for me,that would be good. gonna try and get down tomorrow. got nothing really to do maybe fit a diff guard and put me syn rope on the winch, find out why windows have stopped working, apart from that i"ll be mainly drinking tea.

As you come off the lane the hard standing is right there at the entrance. I will stand out as I will be in my Beemer. See you tomorrow.

fishsponge · Mar 19, 2011

Hi Drizz,
Looking forward to seeing that one completed.
Would really like to try and get to another maintenance day. Hopefully the Disco will be well enough to be maintained :doh:

Short version of long story:
Got fook all done

That car could get me lanivorced if I'm not carful.

I dropped it back to the garage this morning so they can re-do the p gasket.
I left the De-Cat pipe in the boot, Kinda hoping someone will feel sorry thats its back so quickly and fit it whilst its up on the lift?

Keep your chin up, sounds like its nearing being completed.

Once mine is holding collant I would like to go out for a few hours laning.
Its been ages and I need to have a few hours fun in the Disco rather than constant headache.
I could be free for a few hours Saturday, around lunch time. Anyone about?

Likewise. Tell ya what though... I ache! I ache so badly. My neck hurts, my shoulders hurt, stomach muscles hurt, legs hurt! It hurts getting up from the sofa, it hurts driving, it hurts doing anything!

Damn those prop shaft bolts!!

Drizz · Mar 21, 2011
