Had two sessions down at the works, the 1st was fun but not too productive, the second was a last resort as the sun was beating down upon sheffield and the board seemed like a bad option.
The second session went well. Warmed up, then headed over to the comp wall and promptly flashed a nice basic purple up the barrel section of wall. A couple of goes later i also despatched the blue. Percy the Gnome and their merry band of men were trying all kind of faggotry, thankfully none of it worked and basic ruled the day.
Had a quick scout around Sam's evo 8. I've never been in an 8, they're really quite understated for the style of car that they are, prefer the 6 myself but its very nice and in mint condition. Talking of cars Nat's was due for the pre 1st MOT service after which it will no longer go to a registered Fiat dealer.
300 quid for the service. OUCH
140 quid for two Pirelli's up front. DOUBLE OUCH
30 quid for a Wheel alignment check
+ a massive ball ache of phoning various garages as the incompetent fool (who is now the general manager and away today) who sold us the car (reg Fiat dealership down souf) forgot to transfer the third year of the warranty into Natalie's name and hence some extra suspension components that need changing currently don't seem to be covered. Add to that the fact that the courtesy car has the same bhp output as a poodle and i'm not a happy bunny. It doesn't matter if you get 68 mpg etc. as the money you save on fuel will be plowed back to Fiat in servicing costs. ARRGGHHH.
Climbing well though.
The future of the school again looks uncertain and i'm amazed by the general lack of bebotherment from other members. It's been a small few that have really done anything to stop the initial closure and that seems a shame, I don't necessarily think anything will go ahead if more people don't pipe up and start giving a sh*t.

paul. its rubbish isn't it. well i gave my email to nick et al yet haven't been invited to do anything. so well fair enough if you don't want my help the offer has gone. just goes to show the apathy of the actual members that about 6 turn up to do anything...
