Of course I did - I have my own 70mph speed limiter fitted! ;) How much heavier are the Meggys over the 182s? That alone must even out the performance abilities of each car? D.

I think Ive only seen one in the past 6 months? Either that, or Im in the wrong place, at the wrong time? ;) There must be a few around Bury/Rochdale/Blackburn area??? D.

The black 225 up front couldnt have been trying this morning, joining the M66. Apart from the initial turbo uptake, we kept the same distance apart... I thought a 225 would have trounced a 182??? D.

That looks really good, imo. I agree with the rest of you - the black is a little OTT... D.

I always let onto other Valvers/Willys/172s/182s if I notice them in time! Seems a 50-50 split of those that acknowledge and those that just totally ignore you. Got looked at in total disgust by the last V6 driver I acknowledge. Bloody snobs! ;) D.

Telfords right. They take enough bloody money off us anyway, without given them an excuse to bump-up the premium even more. If they dont specifically ask you the question, Id ignore it. After all, its not definite that youll get the points anyway..... D.

Parked on The Observatory pub car-park, near the hospital. Anything more than 1kg in the boot, must ram those rear tyres into the arches?! D.

Thats what I thought. Youre not telling me that all previous 9 owners have kept a decent record and/or maintenance for that car? D.

Im a big believer in fate, lads - something, somewhere wasnt meant to happen. None of it adds up - especially when everything seemed to be going so right. Not that any of that helps you at the moment Chris - but for something major like that to happen on the day of an initial interview...

Still nearer to work tho! :) What are you going to do with the paint on the arches then, FM? Anywhere else in mind, or are you going to take it to that place that Danny T went? D.

Either that, or we meet up at the one in Darwen? The other 98RON place? Is that the BP place? The one that used to be a Shell station? D.

National Debt of China, m8...... :cry: The mpg readout broke 33mpg on the way back. In comparison, FM sounds like he is on 3.3mpg......

Lol - thats what FM said!!! D.

Good to see everyone! Ive just inhaled three gallons of Optimax, following FM back to Whitebirk! ;) D.

I PMd Chris as well - though I can appreciate hes probably got a lot on his plate at the moment.... D.

Sounds good. Not sure how long I can stay for though - may have enough time for a quick drink, however! D.

£15.2k? I know that was list, but that seems quite expensive for a hatch.... D.

Pointless trivia really, but how much were Willys brand new? How did they compare in price to other similar cars (if there ever were such things then?) Cheers, D.

Rich - any idea what the food is like over at the Windmill? D.

Cool.... Junc 5 roundabout - meet with Leeshez, onwards to Maccas just off Junc 6 for FM, then a guided tour over to Shell where we meet Rich at the Windmill Pub next door.... All for the sake of 97RON petrol! :D D.

Reno Manchester.... The wifes from Reno Bury.... D.

Hector - try Sainsburys Bank insurance. They were nearly £400 cheaper than anyone else I tried - and Im 30! D.

P-reg Punto Sporting - the older 1.6 8v version. Thought it was the bollox at the time! P170 NVU. Ill never forget that reg... :cool: D.

Thats mad. I had a quote on an Evo VI some years back for much less than that. Do you live in a dodgy area?! :p D.

Junc 5 roundabout at 12 oclock, it is then! Ill be there about 5 past or something. Which way are we heading then? Back up to Junc 6 or down towards Junc 4? Leeshez - mines not blick at the moment - more a nice shade of streaky grey from all the bird-sh*t! D.

Im fine with either... Junc 5 is closer to me, but if 6 is more straight-forward....? FM - whats best for you, m8? Rich - do you want to just turn up at Shell, if its that close to you? D.

Still got half a tank at the moment, but Tuesday should be fine for me. Theres never a wrong time to increase the octane.... ;) How does 12.30 sound with everyone? I may need directions from FM or Leeshez??! D.

Sorry guys - a week delay in coming back on this one. :oops: The car was dropped off at Reno this morning and I picked it up on the way home. They said they had sorted out a technical issue but didnt go into detail as to what it was? :confused: That was even after I asked what the technical...

Leeshez - carry on with a decent MPG return and were unlikely to meet you at the Shell garage on the other side of Blackburn... Hurry up man and put your foot down! Looking to get a refill either on Monday or Tuesday...... D.

At the Rawtenstall turnoff, M66. It was parked right outside the front door tonight. No CS stickers that I could see - had a bit of rust over the drivers side rear arch (not that I looked at it too much!) L-plater.... D.
