This is the scene in my garage as of tonight... Skye is in bits for a new gearbox (fitted), new gearbox mounts (fitted), new competition rotoflexes (ditto), and a new engine (er, very not fitted). The engine bay also needs a coat of paint, there are a few other odds and sods to do while the engine is out. Problem is, my in-laws are coming up for the weekend and its month end so I'm flat out at work... will she be ready in time for RCS? ? Its not looking good... I suppose I could always bring my everyday Imp or drag the Mk1 Golf down... I could even try selling the Golf there, I suppose.... I just really wanted to take Skye.... Hey ho... best laid plans....

Mine is the same, Oil Seals and hoses went all over the place this weekend after a MG rally so this needs to be sorted ASAP

I'm hoping the Nymph will be back next week if not I'm going in the Imp. The Imp ran abit hot on Sunday when I came back from a show so that needs looking at really and I'm in Scotland from tomorrow till Sunday. So at the moment not sure what I'm going in but i will get there under Retro power.

It also will have two days MOT left on it too.... I may just sling it back together as is, and sort it out later. Still that's what we did a year ago...

My Amazon is ready (I'll clean it if I can be bothered ;D), but it's me who isn't - yet. Following an operation two weeks ago, I still don't have enough strength and movement in my left shoulder to be able to drive safely However, I should be able to drive again sometime next week

I can't wait to see it either! Never seen one in real life before! I'm still unsure as to what vehicle I shall be arriving in, 90% sure it'll be something retro though

I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like.
