Thats some pretty crappy news tom!
How strange though, mine, steves and now your engines have all gone in the space of a month!
Must be something going round Bridgend! lol

Hope you do manage to get it sorted though! Look forward to seeing your car!

On the plus side, at least the KAs handle quite well! haha
:thumbs:

I'm not going to have time to do anything for the next 3 weeks at least - I'm properly bogged down in my dissertation now.

It's due on 20th March, i.e. 3 weeks, and I haven't started writing it yet :o

Along with that, I have over 6 hours a day of lectures too, then work to do for those lectures in the evening too, so no time at all to even breathe :lol:

Hope you get it all sorted for a reasonable price Tom :thumbs:

as soon as the meg is alive again i'll give you a hand to get a meet arranged :)

Did you need such big text? :rolleyes: Bloody Organisers :P :lol:

Sorry to hear about your engine mate - were you working when we had the meet? If not you should have given us a shout, you could have tagged along with one of us!

Be good to see you mate, haven't spoken to you in ages - I think the last time was when I took that picture of your old house for you :lol:

Have to have a bit of a catch up and see how things are going soon :)

Had a lot on recently, and to top it all off the engine on my car has gone :(
i've only had the car five months and its done 57k, devestated to say the least. been quoted 1500-2000k to fix it as looks like a full rebuild, garage say the piston has gone.
Going to transport it up north on a trailer to a mate of my dad's who will fix it a bit cheaper, and hopefully have it back in a few weeks. for the time being im going to be running about in a 1.3 Ka :lol: which is a bit of a stepdown from a 225bhp megane :look:
anyway when i get it back on the road i will definitely be at the next meet as i don't think any of you have seen it yet!
