Guys,
Thanks for the leads on this. The two names you mention are known to me.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that the Graeme Wight that owns or used to own the Ploughman Pub in Culter??? Used to drink there regularly a few years ago. His son was into racing (or rallying) bigtime a few years back and had some sort of horrendous accident - broke his neck or something. I am pretty sure I know where his house is. Didn't know he was offering services like this.
And old Ricky Gauld. God he must be near retirement by now. I used to take my cars to him way back when he was based in Blackburn and then when he moved out to Forgue near Huntly I still drove all that way out for servicing, MOT's etc. but it was just too far. (He also had a real bad habit of not getting the job done that quickly so your car would be out there for weeks!) Mind you, he really knows his stuff.
So Ricky has moved back into Aberdeen. Is this the place he is working at? -

Hmmm...looks pricy.
Craig - the 135 is still running strong. Just been MOT'd a few weeks back. Emissions are always marginal! It has 65,000 miles on the clock and I still use it for work every day. However, I think it is due another visit to the garage asap as I suspect it has a dodgy wheel bearing. There is this whirling noise that has recently surfaced over the last couple of weeks that you hear after a few minutes of driving. Hope its just a wheel bearing and not something in the gearbox! Doesn't seem to slow the car down though and it does not seem to be getting much worse. Just more noticable. The car is so damn noisy anyway it took a while for me to hear it! Glad you sold the car to me with the hardtop. That has been a godsend through the last couple of winters.
