Yes it was a good evening apart from a GT40 breaking a drive shaft :(

Luckily just outside the pub, so Dave Bence and I provided moral support while waitng for the AA for an hour and a half. We then followed the recovery truck back to Petes to help push the car back into the workshop.

Never mind Pete, could have been a lot worse mate :)

that turned out better than it could have been.

nearly bought an A frame for towing, but never quite got a big enough reason to do it yet.

You are welcome Pete, so it was the bolts that sheared, glad you have the car back on the road so fast :)

Yeah our own recovery truck would be cool 8)

Sorry I couldn't make it.  I was in Selby with work, but just happened to go to the gym and watched some very nice young ladies strutting thier stuff, it was tough but someone had to do it. :P

Also apologise for not making it again. I was due to be in Pakistan but it got cancelled so I thought I'd be OK. Then my step-son's wife had to go and have her baby! How inconsiderate :)

Anyhow fingers crossed for April's meet.
