Where's the PAUSE BUTTON!!

[Mystery Machine]

So much to do, so little time!

Projects to work on, stuff to try and get finished, not enough time, so few weekends.....AAARRGGHHH!!

I hope I'm not the only one who feels like August is next week, not four months away??

But BOY....despite all the pressure, am I excited about the whole weekend. I'll be the one totally unprepared LOL. I'll be the one like a little kid at his first party. You might need restraints. You might need back-up.

[Steve]

Sounds like someone needs to take the dog out and get some air.......................... ;D

[BenzBoy]

Well, I'm pretty certain the Benz is gonna miss another show, but I'm cool with that. It'll get done!

My main concerns at the moment are having the Bond in a condition to cope with a 400 mile round-trip (and maybe looking a bit better / lower), and having the money to go! ;D

[cobblers]

I've got to fit all new boltable panels, spray the car, realise that I made a mess of it because its my first time and spray it again, fit the wheels and arches, sort the engine out and on top of that work out what to attach the 2 spare mini moto engines to!
I can't bloody wait!

[surprisingskoda]

I spent about a month deciding what to take, so I picked a car i haven't worked at in over a year, and i have no engine for it, and it needs an mot of course. And countless other bits to make it presentable...

[nickbrad]

I'll top you all, I haven't even bought a car yet! I will be there though in whatever I buy, I gotta be, 'cos I made the missus decline a wedding invitation so I could attend this year.

I got one of these in my dad's other garage.


The battery is buggered, and I don't have the charger anymore, but it should be entertaining with a minimoto attatched.

Donated to the cause

I don't even know what cars I'll have at the time! It'll be a surprise

LOL well it would of been the shake down run for it. If you need a hand with the Bond give me a shout, also we will convoy with you so your safe. If you don't wanna take it there will be space in the B or the MX like last year mate.

I have next week off to do the 2010 changes to the GT, but I do agree with you It does feel like the show is tomorrow.

[HoTWire]

PAH! You lot think you've got problems... I've got to build a car AND organise a show

Thanks a lot mate! Convoying will be great. I reckon the Bond will be OK, I just have to get all the little problems sorted out. My usual reasoning is that if a car can do 30 or 40 miles, it'll probably be alright! ;D

Ok then, you win.

[ben711200]

just a bit of painting to do. Even if all else goes spectacularly wrong, it's practically cycling distance away ;D

Lucky beggar, I've got a 10hr round trip to look forward to if I buy the Polo I have my eye on, then it's 211 miles each way to RRG.

[MightyMork]

I'm just excited to be going, will walk if it all goes wrong. . may set off in june to be safe about arrival on time!

Convoy sounds good - I will be in the 309, hopefully taking off cats eyes as we go!

Join the club!! Budget issues mean whatever I buy will probably need several weeks' worth of work just to get it roadworthy, so it'll be an 'interesting' summer if nothing else!! ;D

[rtlkyuubi]

Ill be down 17th - 27th May and after 4:30 pm ill be able to give you a hand Bruce. I'm stopping down for the weekend too so will be about doing nothing all saturday and sunday unless you pop into a52

[Oldbus]

...i´ve been looking for the "pause" button for years but never found it, my garage life seems to go in "fast forward" mode only....

don´t let it turn into stress mate

[pauldaf44]

Being prepared doesn't always help. I now have a roadworthy car but it needs paint, a new headgasket and radiator. But I garuntee a week before the show that list will multiply by ten
