Well, if you come to starlite on Sunday, you can see how little access I have to the boots...

No run this weekend, just a meet and greet, with food and drinks (as per your choice).
I'll try and make next weekends run. Only found out about it last night from Donovan.
You guys need to post these things in the events section so more of us can find out about them.

Now the question.... test drive or wash car?

Bought new rubbers for tail lights and Liscence plate hood. Bumper rubbers . Rebuilt my carb for the Ghia. Fitted started ran like a dream. Installed new battery then took her for a short ride for fuel and to pump the tyres. And then she died :( grrrrrrr was idilling like a dream then nothing. Seems like no spark. Grrrr cleaned points contacts ht leads ends and re inserted them. No joy grrrrrr so being 4pm Sunday and no spares shops open rolled her into garage and will look for new points and condenser today wanted to take her to ferdis but don't think it's gonna happen
