:D I have had a few. I'm a crap business man though, for the time i'm putting into Colin's car think i'm making about a £1 an hour.

Phonned Jim today, he should be up next week with a tack welded exhaust system. I've asked him for a few odd ball sizes so things had to made specially for the 340RR. Although he had to order 10 of each part, so looks like i will have an over the top for myself :mrgreen: .

If any of the other Stark Kit users are reading this and want an over the top system, worth considering.

Nothing new to report patiently waiting on Jim getting back to me with an Exhaust and headers

and the new Job's taking priority although atm I'm leaving the Burgh at 8am and rarely home before midnight so am generally knackered come to my days off. But it is good to be back working and getting a regular wage even if I did drop £8k
That and I had to MOT my 206 1.4 Hdi van last month~ as my daily shed to put 2500miles/month on thankfully at 65-74mpg and the N/A Honda MOT'd this week I've been kept pretty busy although I do keep picking up Juicy bits and pices to enhance the rebuild

You will see Hamish on Saturday evening in his whites, knife in hand, helping me with the carving. Hopefully Lindsay as well who is also a Chef, but looked slightly different in these whites.

That should get the Crieff "Still Game Team" here on time.

I'm off to Germany tomorrow so won't be making Tut Towers 2010. Although I'm the one on a Stag Weekend I feel you lot will have a wilder time :mrgreen:

Worried about Jen and her poor mate. Hopefully someone will look out for her (not you Tut).

Campbell, been dreading telling you this, but the jacuzzi has three cracks in it from too much weight from 2007.

Seems that even German engineering can not take eight S_ER's at the same time. Not sure how I can make it up to you, but Klaudia will be there with two of her model friends to take your mind off what was a TT institution.

LOL, well we gave it a good run for its money. Although I'm not altogether sure that I made it into the jacuzzi last time, in fact...time before (Michelle-tastic) yes, and first ever TT, yes. *

I have progressed to Hot Tubs now anyway :thumbsup

Campbell

* - on a more serious note, am sorry to hear that we caused or played a part in its demise. Do we need to do a whipround or will a bit of polyfilla or silcone sealant be sufficient?!
