Got my 6 back after giving up with the suspension issue and putting it in to the garage. So I'll be taking it for a wee blast (trying not to crash it) which will take it over 39k. Such a weird feeling not wanting to add miles but at the same time loving driving it! (Probably just me)


RE: It's Friday - Esmyth124 - 24-02-2017

Friday - Work til 1, Shopping in town for a bit, out for a few beers and some pool 
Saturday- Work on the 306, hopefully, service it and get a short shifter installed
Sunday - Hopefully, admire my handy work lol.

Fri - Working in Norton again. Finished at 6 and hightailed it home, 62 miles of M5/M42/M6. Ring the girls on the way home and ask if they fancy dinner out. 8 year old replies she wants a takeaway curry! Result. Ordered from the car en route. Now digesting said curry with several Weston's..

Sat - Working O/T. Pays for some more rallye restore bits.

Sun - working again. Gonna be an almost new Rallye at this rate!

I think it was the front driver's shocker. When they took the strut apart it had too much travel.

So replaced the front shocks, and a few other bits (the invoice is at work. I'll update the other thread when I get in to work on Monday).

RE: It's Friday - Ben_w - 01-03-2017

It is pretty damn good.

Crikey thats a fair commute! what job are you looking at down this way? Smile

Herefordshire isnt bad at all to be honest! basically a county packed full of good ale / cider, motorsport and affordable living lol


RE: It's Friday - Ben_w - 02-03-2017

It's an Operations Manager job for the company I work.for and is basically the job I'm doing there at the moment. Yeah, it is a fair commute. 63 miles of M6/M42/M5 torture.....
