So hoping my car is ready for collection from Mitsubishi tomorrow. Dropped it off last saturday for repairs - suspected broken antiroll bar bush/clamp/somethingorother - and told them i'd be back for it in 1 week, i.e. tomorrow now.
Been a busy week and really want to take the car for a blast sometime this weekend - weather is for bright sunshine and 6 - 7 degrees all weekend, its gona fly in those sort of conditions :thumb:

Yup, good it happened now but tbh once its fixed this time I recon it'll go - this is the last straw and ive been thinking of using the money from it for a new house for a while now. Have asked Mitsi what they'll offer me for it.

A year or so away from expensive cars seems quite appealing just now - then maybe a 911 (997) in '07.

I recon I could hack it for a year or so. Specially as it may be the means to a shinny new house + 911 :D

Just got a call from mitsubishi - Mr Clark your gearbox is broken.

Err, yes, I know :brick:

What did you do, put it in 1st at 90 ?

Err, no, that would have blown the engine :brick:

I think this may be a long drawn out process :roll:
