    Fair play to the both of ye. Lots of people like to talk BS about what they are going to do, but the two of ye actually got up and did it.

    Now go to bed together and have a nice kiss and a cuddle together. Ye deserve it!

    How do people feel about a meet in the not too distant future?

    Probably best after Christmas but we're trying to come up with a few plans in the background. Any ideas on anything to do with this place also accepted.

    Meet up in Kanturk and go on the beer...

    Corktina might have a few spare rooms...

    Was all fired up getting this car ready to go for tomorrow, and now I'm just depressed.

    Oh well, still got more work than most people get done in a few months done in a few days.

    At least now we can trace this problem and get a bit of testing done, maybe paint the inside and maybe get the cage in.

    Oh well.

    Just wrecked now, all we needed to do was bleed the brakes/clutch and coolant and fit the seat and harness. It's probably only something small but we spent a couple of hours trying to find it and couldn't. Tiredness played a big part in the decision to call it a night though. It'll be out for the next trackday in January :)

    I'm not as depressed as drummerboy, I'm smilng because had we not pushed ourselves this week the car would still be parked in the corner. Now we have 5 weeks or so to do the small jobs. He's in the living room now trying to eat his dinner while wearing his helmet

    Great car to go, looking forward to seeing racing next year.

    I also got a spin in Joe Powers Subaru Impreza but he split his manifold and the day ended early for him

    Was meant to get a pax lap with him, too, but it split before I got a chance. I got pax laps in the AE86 Levin, an E36 M3 Evo and the Ferrari. Good day out and fairly civilized for an open trackday.

    Aye. We were behind him in the Ferrari, he was sort of slowing down, then suddenly started to push on. Flames out of the exhaust and massive torque there for sure.

    Tonight i became one of those idiots with a light out.

    Anyone know a good site to buy xenon headlight bulbs? One of mine went this evening and its now shining a delightful shade of purple. I have a feeling going through the parts department at a dealer with hurt, even a motor factors will be as the plan is to buy two and have a spare. Hate having lights out.

    That might work. I'll find out the make of the OEM ones in the morning as it's pitch black outside. Would prefer to get a matching pair. That's a lot cheaper than I thought it would be tbh.

    They do that alright. Mine added wind noise that wasn't there to begin with. Still handy as if you open the window after some rain it goes straight in otherwise!

    Actually in seriousness, RoverJames, why do you have a fascination with Rovers?

    I must admit, those rover 75s look nice, and have BMW engines in them in later models? Or am I mistaken?

    I don't have a fascination with them, I do like them however. When I was 18 I found myself in a 9 year old 414si as a first car, having spent a few months looking woeful depressing underpowered yokes it was a delight. I've had other makes of cars too, which I also liked, I've had a few Rovers though.

    The diesel 75s have BMW engines.
