Shocked and saddened at the news of Chris passing, a true gent, he was always happy to help, he will be missed. Condolences to his family. OSV 's suggestions of a trophy in his name seem very fitting. Rip Chris

Could be up for the convoy, will keep an eye on the plans!

Excellent work Chris, that level of workmanship and dedication is to be admired.

Dont blame you staying a little longer, weather is no better here yet. Enjoy it while you can!

I'm in, will join in for the pre show indian too. Hope not to break down this year!!

Glad to hear its hot and sunny over there, today we have 9c and sunshine following a week of freezing foggy greyness. Its high time you spent your hard earnt readies on the corrado having neglected it for 2 years, its the least you can do!! Seriously though all is well, nice car, bet you've missed her. Enjoy your last few months over there

Keep up the good work Kip, you are an example to us all, will be so worth it when completed.

Will be there tomoz for a flying visit, might give the new girl a run out!!

Top man, nice thought Bill

No fee required Bill, was scrapping it anyway, just pm Kip your details to sort the postage.

Hi Sam, have just cut it out for you. If you pm me your mobile number I will give you a call next time I am down your way.

Hi Bill, Have cut it out good and big for you, let me know when Kip has sorted the postage arrangements. I am glad I dont have to weld it back in, good luck!

Ok, will check it out and let you know.

you can have the shell for me mate but postage may be difficult !! Do you know if it is double skinned?

I am cutting up a shell tomoz, let me know if you still need this part. If you can't collect I get down your way [Glatton] every now and then if you aint in a hurry!

Will have a look at taking this off for you tomorrow, must admit I have never attacked a shell before so a little nervous about this but will try my best. If Kip is good enough to sort out the postage arrangement then you should be sorted.

Hi Pete, will be at the Classic Car show saturday and sunday, not on the stand though, but would be good to catch up

Had a new alarm fitted by technicar, top of the range jobby, to ensure no problems with an ageing system before my big trip!! The fitter rushed through the fitting in a couple of hours but it seemed ok so didnt think much of it at the time. Last day of a 10 day road trip the ignition circuit cut out resulting in a recovery back home. I changed the ignition switch and usual relays but no cure so requested Technicar to inspect fitting. He took a week to show, mysteriously cured the problem somehow but suggested I had a bad connection elsewhere '100% cant be an alarm fault'! Ok, so it seemed to be working now so I took it down for the MOT test only for it to cut out again, resulting in another recovery home [only 2 miles this time though]. On inspecting the wiring it was clear that there was a bad connection in a sealed unit within the system. Requested another visit from technicar. Waited another week but the technician didnt show[due to illness] did get a call on the day he was due but no apology for inconvenience, another week before the original fitter showed and corrected the wiring fault but told me that I had damaged the wiring deliberatly. No mention of an apology, no suggestion that the unit could have been fautly or a manufacturing fault, he just blamed me. As if I had wanted all the hassle, time wasted and cost. I will not us these guys again. The alarm has behaved since so as long as I dont vandalise it again I assume it will be ok!! If it goes wrong again I feel a discussion with the ombudsman may be in order. I know anybody can make a mistake but they should have the balls to own up and apologise, sorry for moaning just felt the need to warn you.

Dont like to moan generally but I'm not happy with Technicar. May have been a one off but service and attitude left a lot to be desired to say the least. Will fill you in with the details if you wish but beware!!

lol at the smilies comment, brill. Absolutely stunning powder coat result, did you do any extra prepping on that Jude?

Sounds like a dud battery to me, have it checked.

I hope you aint refering to your corrado, 'tis a long way from being tatty!!

Hi Bullfinch, I may be able to assist, not excactly your region but feel free to pm if interested!

Looks great from here Jude, hope you are happy with the finish, really need to get mine sorted now!!

Got my card and loved it, :luvlove: Happy Christmas and keep up the good work to all CCGB organisers who's time and dedication all too often doesn't get the praise that they deserve :notworthy: :notworthy:
