Hey folks, It is that time again. First thing I need to do is update the Tuesday Progress thread with my pictures from last weekend! I've got Blown_Imp visiting to tackle a number of jobs on the Datsun with me I'm testing out my podcasting mic I've got next week off too, so lots and lots and lots of little jobs to do. busy busy busy. What are you up to? Anyone going to NEC? Anyone going to bring back photos?

Half tempted to go to the NEC, but after a mountain of stress over the past few weeks moving workshops I finally have the chance to look underneath the BMW properly to see what I broke when I took it drag racing last month. I've checked the propshaft bearing carrier and the flex disc / donut, and they seem OK, but something is making the propshaft hit the floor when I accelerate. I'm starting to think the diff mount bolt has snapped, or perhaps I've torn the rear subframe mounts and it's getting out of alignment when accelerating. Yay.

Going to the NEC on Saturday. I will bring pics but unless my daughter finds her proper camera, I can't guarantee they'll be much good.

Doing Edinburgh to the Northumberland coast tomorrow AM in what looks like foul weather to pick up some black steels for my winter tyres. So, yes, I'm doing a long drive in wintery conditions on non-Winter tyres.

Weather isn't too bad down here btw; A1 is fine, as are most local roads. Where are you heading?
