alright all, it's been a good few months since I met up with any of you so I thought I'd best let you all in on what's going on!

I moved jobs - now I'm the ripspeed specialist at halfords in south shields (yes, go on - snigger snigger saxo 1.1 like hoo mista!!)
I also blew the 205 up... again - head gasket let go on me as I was getting stopped for 42.96mph in a 30 - so I got 3 more bonus points taking the total to 6 now.

the 205 is now on the mend, and should be running around about 145bhp by the time I get her back on the road, It's being made a little bit louder too - as I'm going to add a new straight through centresection - who needs middle silencers, it's also being upgraded in the "bowel loosening in car entertainment" area - as Tom experienced the last time I was out!

feel free to drop in at halfords, it will help alleviate the monotony!!

as soon as it's fully mended, and wearing it's nice new toyo proxes t1-r's - I shall be out on jaunts again

Well there's a voice from the past. I hope you do get out and meet up with us again.

Nice one Dave.

At least you've doubled the staffing levels at the South Shields branch - at least it'll seem like it

Whenever I've had to go in, there's never a soul around.

If I need anything, I'll come by and see you

Bob, Here's hoping mate - we'll get there eventually but I've been working nigh-on every day or night for the past month or so, which is eating into my valuable peugeot-repairing time!

Byff, I know what you mean - usually we have to run with three staff and a cashier on a night time, one for parts, one for ripspeed and one for cycles! that's why the place is like a ghost town most of the time!

Tom, I'm looking forward to it already mate! I'll have to give you a more up to date experience of the pugster too!
