What a day

Got home at about half 8, had a good time apart from the problem with my car.

Very well organised, thanks to jr and Will, you did a top job

A little update about Mark, he left me when we got on the motorway then as I was driving between j15 & j16 on the M6 he was stopped on the hard shoulder

Apparently he's left some bits of his block there

Last I heard he was at Sandbach waiting for another recovery truck

Not quite, about 68, but just kept it between 60 and 68. 80miles on the M40 felt like an age

Probably will as mine made increasing power until 7200 before dying off. And mine is on standard cams

Yeah, IvIarkgraham. They refused to run his car cos the bottom end was knocking badly, the guy told him to try and keep it over 4k driving home then it might last a bit longer, when I saw him I was about 50 mins from home, I pulled up but he said he was alright, he'd just been on the phone to the AA

Aye, as expected.
Goes to show why tb kits really are pointless on standard management.
