Is anyone else able to offer a lift to the TVRCC if Andy can't make it?

Cheers.

Hi,

Sorry i have not been in here for a while.
I am not sure if i will be going on sunday...i put the car into a wall the other day and have some repairs to do, back end went on some ice...i should have it done tomorrow though if all goes well

[steadyrock]

Are you able to email me either way? Thanks a lot, Pete.

[andy-w]

yes no problem...i shall drop you a mail tomorrow.

the damage wasnt too bad...a small split on the front wheel arch that needed a bit of fibreglassing and i need to get a new passenger door mirror...might go down the mini route or vw corrado...not sure yet...

ice on road + accelerating = backend breaks free...must remeber that for future driving

Glad i can do the work myself otherwise it might have been a hefty bill...!!!

[steadyrock]

Gosh! By the sounds of it I am glad you are ok!

[andy-w]

its not as bad as it sounds...i was going round a bend and there was a tree casting a shodow over the road...halfway through the bend the road was covered in frost...luckily there was a wall and i hit it flat on the passenger side and bounced off...there was about a 10ft drop the other side of the wall...!!!
I just drove it home, straight into the garage and got the fibreglass matting out, turned the compressor on and got to work...!

[steadyrock]

I bet you were chuffed about the wall then!

[andy-w]

i wasnt at first when i saw it comming towards me...but when i retrieved my wing mirror i realised it could have been worse...oh - i need some new wheels as well....passenger side are a little bit curbed...!

[steadyrock]

What time do I need to be in Newcastle for?

[steadyrock]

Oh and could you please pop your mobile no. into the email so I can contact you. Thanks tonnes!

Hey Andy, just to let you know that a friend has managed to secure me lift to the meet. Thanks so much for offering the lift and I hope to see you there. I hope the damage comes out easily! Many thanks again.
