Ha, that was mine. Came home from MMC breakfast on Sunday, had a wee blat around some back roads, all great, did the shopping...and the car suddenly had about 2bhp and a max speed of 15mph.
So it's off to see Craig for some TLC. Hopefully ready for Donington at the weekend.

I'm sure Craig will get it sorted. A sad sight all the same.

That's awful.

Errm, and I don't want to seem mercenary at all, but if you don't get it fixed, and you have a space for Donnington... I mean I'd rather you went, OBVIOUSLY, but you know if you can't I know a man who could use your space...

You'll be the first to know if I can't make it. Well, you and anyone witnessing my best Basil Faulty impersonation...

That's bad news Doug.
Would've loved to have seen your Basil Fawlty though :-)
Hope it's a quick fix!

Seemingly the engine went off line for some reason. Not to worry, Craig has it sorted[THUMBS UP SIGN]
