My Le Mans Trip Saved By Tidy 21 Year Old!

[Ladders]

 

Thought I'd get her back on the road so I can still drive down to Le Mans.

 

She's been in my Nanna's garage for the last year and a half after suffering HGF (its not just Liz's that get it!)

Only just got her running this Sunday. I'd done the headgasket last year but the engine kept running for a minute before cutting out. After undoing some of the fuel lines and flushing the system she seems to run ok (touch wood).

 

Not sure whether to strip the interior for the trip down, have got a set of willans harnesses in there so will look quite good, or put it back to standard?

 

Just getting her MoT'd on Weds. So fingers crossed!

Brilliant - good stuff!

 

I'll be sure to wave if I see you

Ahhh aren't Nans nice.

 

PS thought you were originally talking about HGF on your Nan, had to read it again to realise it was another car.

Steve, wasnt to chuffed when she had the Golf rolled out the garage when she had a new door fitted.

 

When the guys who were fitting it left, they asked whether they should roll it back in again. She told them "No, its time it was fixed!". Leaving my uninsured, unalarmed, unlocked Golf with all the stereo equipment still inside for some theiving, scaghead, scumbag to help themselves to!

 

Cheers!

Excellent, room to take our tents etc!

 

All you need now is a golf sized sunshine strip.

Simon - funny you should say that as I was looking at the boot earlier, wondering how the hell I'm going to fit my stuff in there.

[Simon G]

Dave will take your tent for £5 round trip or a six pack of beer;-)

[Ladders]

 

Yeah but I need my car light enough to keep up with you lot!

[Scott_Mac]

LOL, you will be the most relaxed and comfortable person upon arrival and also the support van

[Simon G]

MLOC support, get that man a t shirt and a load of spanners!

[Kris H]

Plus can't get loads of cheap euro beer in the back of the elise - errrmmm, Dave about that spare space...

Nice work ladders - v good taste, this was my Mk1 GTI, very interesting history, unrestored concourse condition, owned by a German who bought it when he retired at 60 and I bought it from his 'estate' in 2000, 27,000 miles in 17 years, the door seals were so good you had to open a window slightly to close the door from the inside!

 

 

I'll always miss it

[Ladders]

Bugger Wonder who's going to be going on the beer and bagguette runs then!

[Scott_Mac]

...and a load of spanners!

Shouldn't be any problem there, he's with you lot
