Still waiting on my new engine to arrive from plymouth so kitts only going out once in a blue moon as he's still got spark plug fouling issues :(

I'd still love to come to this. I honestly don't know of the car would survive the journey though :'( the new engine isn't getting fitted till early April now :(
If kitts got his new engine ill deffo be there. Saying that its not too far to run on the knackered engine if needs be lol. NEED to make this since I might not make the Chester meet now :(

And I don't need it for my work so in only use a car for personal use and visiting friends etc so not worth running a normal car lol. Sounds crazy but I know what I mean ha ha

Sadly I don't have the luxury of biding my time. I'm in a contract insurance which can't be suspended and its my daily runner now too. This engine issue was so unexpected it's taken everyone by surprise. It's either a transplant engine from a good car (£700 + fitting) or a full strip down and...
I honestly dread to think how much. And still got so far to go too. Selling these electronics is not good as ill never happen on ones as cheap as I paid ever again.
