He said he'd be back before dinner. Maybe he's broken down?

You've got to remember some people mean dinner as in tea time.

Phew... What a day!
Getting across London at the weekend is worse than rush hour, then the train out of London broke down, moved to a new train... and finally my phone ran out of charge, so no GPS. Services and a trusty old AA map!
She's sitting on the drive
bit too dark to take photos, but will get some tomorrow.
haha.. my dinner is normally 8-9pm due to work
Lots of little things to fix, which should keep me busy for the next month or so.

Good to see you got home safe and sound
Was in London yesterday(used to the living in the sticks) and can't get used to the hussle and everything going at 100 mph

Thanks fella!
Wasn't too bad a drive, only 170miles which was mixed between A-roads and motorway. Got to have a good feel for the car.
Love the noise when you go from 3k to 5k
Need this damn rain to stop so a) I can take some photos for you guy&girls and b) find out what else needs adding to my list of fixes.
Certainly needs some TLC and my list is getting bigger.
hehe..yeah London is an interesting place, think this is the 3rd or 4th time I've lived here!
RE: Off to pick up a 6 - mackat - 29-11-2014
Finally been an ok day when it's not been p155ing down with rain!
Bit dirty and due for a clean/polish, and more TLC. Down to the garage Monday for a check up on the engine mounts and suspension.

Exhaust fixed this afternoon, some other small items to be looked at next.

So what's the TLC needed? Details of car mileage etc... Any mods. What's the plans for it?! Looks quite tidy, good find
RE: Off to pick up a 6 - mackat - 04-12-2014
After the fiasco last Sunday I now need a new drivers door, some de-scratching and maybe a panel popping back into shape
Engine has 122k on the clock
Small things to do:
Water jets
Rear view mirror
Side mirror electrics
Remote locking
Rear wiper unit
Rear heated screen
Center clock
Either the engine mounts or the suspension keeps knocking
Gotta have a look at the accelerator cable and tacho as they don't 100% match - there is a good 1-2 secs lag
A good clean and polish
Long term - Not really a lot (would say just the usual)
New tyres
Matt black alloy's - Maybe red
Lowered max 30mm
New engine pipes
New airfilter
TB's
I think might put a hint of red here and there?!?
