I'm still cleaning up stuff after The Gathering, half the show is still in the boot of the Datsun, need to do a stock take and get everything on the store updated. Website updates, get ready to properly launch the Summer Holiday for 2016 (is going to be amazing), some more work on this here forum as well.
In the physical world I'm tidying the garage and getting ready to get work surfaces etc. in there. If I can find a motorfactors local to me I may go get some sealant/cut your own gasket, and have a look and see if the thermostat is the problem on the Sunny with the overheating.
What you up to? Any shows?

I thought I'd see if the sudden Civil Aviation ban on fun stuff with aircraft has any bearing on Wings And Wheels. Bit raw at the moment, given that Hawker Hunter that fell on the A27 just round the corner

Change front pads on E46. Collect E39. Take things off E39. Shout at it. Cry a bit. Succeed? Take suspension off ST. Take brakes off ST. Fit new coilers. Smash knuckle into suspension upright. Cry, again. Sweat lots. Rub brake dust into left eye. Put new brakes on. Put wheels back on. Put it in the garage. Ignore it.

First job is dry out Gazebo and pack it away properly, along with the tent! Finish off unloading the car boot, and then if there's time, spend a few hours looking at heavy artillary, trucks and sh1t getting blown up at this; www.tankstrucksandfirepower.co.uk/

well, given I am suddenly free on the Sunday, much to my surprise, I'll be trying to stop the wastegate/manifold leaking on the 3rd gen rx7, hopefully fitting a new lightswitch to the buggy after my 3 & 4 year old sons decided to wrench the last one about, wrecking it, swapping the buggy's old new coil for a new new coil that works, and washing the cars...
and making and eating cheesecake.

May take a trip down to the unit and see how the B is doing..

Either making a start on putting the Vogue engine back together or working, won't know until later today.
If not working may go to Quainton Railway museum for the pre 1978 Classic Car Show on the Monday.

If there was a great event at a hillclimb venue in the West Midlands, where I know there'd be loads of folk I don't see very often, I'd definitely be going to that.

Mrs MonzaPhil is back from a week of camping so I think a car based weekend is out of the question.
Work on Saturday then I think I'll migrate to the pub.
Need to wash the Monzas as they seem to have inexplicably picked up a lot of mud and grass from somewhere. . . .
Hope everyone has a good long weekend.
Sent from my work where I am meant to be working using proboards

Goddess stuff, new engine mounts. Working out how to keep her dry this winter as my farmer's barn from last year has fallen through. Healey bonnet stay and hinges in preparation for the Mdina Grand Prix in October. Fambly barbecue and a little light sheep worrying (they're always worried when they see me coming with the tagging pliers) as the 'man' now requires electronic tags on the the herd(ette).
