Probably won't make it, both cars are out of commission :cry:

Sorry to hear that too Alan. What's up with them?

Sy: Is your avatar taken with a funny lens or are two shots cleverly stitched? It's good anyway!

Blue car developed a bad gearbox problem, its out of the car at the moment, and red car has developed very noisy wheel bearings - its drivable but I'm not going to travel to Stoneleigh and back with it. The noise would drive me nuts even if the wheel stayed on. The rear bearings have less than 1000 miles on them, I've had a pleasant chat with the garage concerned about it but I can't get it sorted in time for the weekend.

I think Sy is playing with his car pics in regret of the stripe :wink:

Monty, don't worry, I know you have difficulty being a 'lad' too :gray:

As the M100 is the featured car of the Show have parts supplier who are attending been informed of this so that they will trawl their parts bins for M100 parts to bring up/down?
Could the 'Hokey-Cokey' actually be what it's all about?

Well if they bring along any of their "M100" wiper blade sets again they know what they can do!!!

Same here - they're missing the damn metal pins in the middle that the wiper arm hooks into.

Althogh I canabalised them to get a decent one on the drivers side that actually wipes!

Granted, the Fed ones come without the integral cross pin (on to which our arms fit), but I just whacked a thin bolt and nut through the whole in the blade mounts to create a pin.
