bit disappointing to find out at the last minute
I know what you mean... Had no front brakes at the start of Thursday so went and pick some callipers up, then got told they were the wrong ones so had to take them back and wait around untill they found some new rears as well. Finally fitted fronts and the left hand rear... only to find that I had been given 2 left rears!
With putting with the old rear brakes back on and broken hard pipes = no sleep that night and finish working on the car till 2am saturday morning!

Cheers Gareth - luck was on my side to actually be there at all considering.

Preparations are already underway for the solutions to the problems - once solved this time they will not re-occur :D

Jason - the worst thing about the tow truck was that the tow rope was quite high up so was pulling the eye upwards aswell - it didnt budge an inch - well done that man :notworthy: That and the commentator saying that I had had a big off and worrying the crap out of Rachel and Annabelle :lol:

Unlucky Duncan, car looked awesome and i'm sure you will find the extra time your looking for.
Don't loose sight of the fact that teh car is new now with all it's mods. so will take time for you to get the most out of her.
Take regular exercise, walk to you car!
