PAUL MADE ME DO IT, HONEST!

Well, that's it. ALF is officially off the road for at least three days whilst BRV engineering refurb the nearside wheels. I took them in today. They are quite local to me being just the others side of Little Chalfont in a village called Flaunden, but a real bugger to find. Nice if you want to practise driving, and reversing along narrow lanes. It looks a bit daft on one space-saver and another steel rim which has nothing like enough offset to clear the callipers
 
I collected the wheels for "ALF" yesterday and the total was £95 for both wheels, as they had a powder coated finish. The results are first class and I can recommend their efforts. The one dissapointment was that my Zymol, ordered Monday didn't turn up. The vendor explained that they were waiting for a clay bar. Bah! hum bug-gerit

I saw the demo at the Saturday OPC club day last week which is why I ordered some. At the price you'd think someone would have my arm off rather than keep me waiting a week. I needed it because the cab is forming part of the display of cabriolets at HQ. I'm taking it there Tuesady.
 
Alf is now safely ensconced at club hq for the duration as part of a display of members cars. Please remove all drool marks.

And John's safely ensconced back at home. Much nicer day than work would have been [:D]

If you're going to the open day at Cornbury House you'll be able to see a proper car on display for a change. Didn't look as if it will need the usual drip-tray, either...[8|]

Huge thanks to John for allowing his car to be used, it is quite a nice one....[;)]

Yes, only the "quite" vote from the R/S. Must be such a let down for you due to the front end styling, I suppose.
 
Well, it was qite dirty, and you took a long time to overtake the queue of assorted cartoon slow-movers for a turbo! [8|]

For the rest of you, we had to sit behind a Landie pulling a trailer of roof trusses, following a foreign HGV who appeared to come from a country where the drive neither on the left nor the right, but a mixture of both, who was stuck behind a tractor of some notable vintage....

And to cap it all some tw*t in a Merc decided that two red 944s could obviously not be together, so it would make our day if he forced in between us [:mad:][:mad:][:mad:][:mad:]

It was still nice to give the car a decent run, though. She's been sitting around doing far to little lately!

I was worried about leaving you behind in your ordinary 944[:D][;)][:D]
 
I have been to Cornbury, and like the lucky old git in R19 the cab was half way thorugh being given a wash and brush up with all the polishing bonnets cutting compounds and rotary buffers. They even clayed the wheels for crying out loud. I believe some before and after pics were being taken every 20 minutes so no doubt this will be appearing in a publication near you soon.
 
Sorry guys the opportunity to drool has ended. "Scratchy" as it is affectionately known is now back home. Next step, clay bar to remove all the slobber marks.
