So I've just ordered the gasket set for my head, and I'm picking up the piston ring pliers and compressor today.. Not that I've got a lot to do or anything

How quick is it possible to get a passport, I think I have the £80 for a passport and money to come and play.

Chris if you have never had one, you need to go to an interview and then the passport arrives 2 days later.

In all fairness when I did mine, I booked it, booked the interview for 2 weeks later and had the passport in my hand 2 days after that.

Does anyone else want me to sort out accomodation?
If we get a few people more wanting in, I can book another chalet?

I'll hopefully be doing the majority of it tomorrow, but I've lost the bottom coolant hose somewhere. I'm hoping you have a spare tbh, else we're off to the scrappy
