Hey folks, it is that time again... so you've got two days off work (well a lot of us have), what you going to do to make the car world a better place? I'm spending Saturday trying to finish editing the RR Gathering 2014 video (still trying to get some good quality track footage )... and packing my bags for holiday. 'Packing your bags for holiday isn't car related' you say... It is when that holiday takes you to Vegas and SEMA. I'll also be spending a bit of Saturday worrying about the Ultimate Stance Retro Rides display and hoping that it all comes together well under the careful eye of HARDCORE How about you?

A slightly exciting one. Replacing the Stub Axles on the GT, and collecting a supercharger ;-).

Depending on the level of 'evil spirits' consumed at our Halloween party tonight I will try to start polishing my Maserati wheels that are destined for the Cinquecento... Last weekend was much more car related with my trip to Goodwood: However I am currently redeeming some man-points by cooking a steak slice on a spacesaver...

Probably helping my old man out with this again. Major wiring fault somewhere, doesn't turn over on the key, reverse the wires on the solenoid and it doesn't stop!

Hello *waves* Some of you might remember be from having a brown van and posting in the early days of the forum.
I'll be working on the Cappuccino Wedgey, which is now rustier, but sports a 1.9D engine in place of that Subaru that I could never get to run right and had the sump too low. I'll be putting 17" Cup Twists off a Boxster on there rather than the cookie cutters, repairing the worst areas of rot, maintaining a weathered look.
I'll also be trying to finish off the 1303 Beetle I have. That's far less sensible, 17" Subaru wheels, disc brakes in each corner, and a WRX Impreza motor.

I've got some car photos to sort out, and if the weather is up to it I really should spend some time investigating the intermittent battery drain on my E36. It can be fine for months, then suddenly the battery is flat after a couple of days. Looks like I'll be learning how to use a multimeter

Building up the brackets for my new compressor to live on and probably moving that into the shed so i can run airline into the garage and get it out the way. Not strictly car related I suppose but I means i can run my air tools for longer to fix more cars

On the strong drink tonight, hate bloody "trick or treaters" begging for bloody sweets so I'm hiding in the pub. Saturday I'm clearing the garden and starting digging out the footings for the mancave of win, Sunday I'm refurbing a set of wheels and fitting the latest addition to my Blaupunkt tape deck collection to the 190 to see if it's any good

My weekends always seem to go awry, but if lucky, I shall go shopping for some denim, cut up some foam to make seat cushions, and if incredibly lucky cover the foam in denim. This might not seem "car" but these are the seats. Ttfn Glenn Probably end up doing none of the above though, only time will tell
