Cheers lads. I only told a few people; I didn't want to ASW it everywhere. lol.

I was pretty gutted for the first few days but it's been nearly a week now and I'm not sure it's a totally bad thing now. I've left it with her; ball's in her court now.

If I take it as a full-time split now, I won't be gutted again if it doesn't work out. That's the theory.

If things stay how they are now, i'll be back in at my own place in October when my tenants vacate so I'm back with my parents until then, which is no bad thing really.

Bureet though. Clio 200. Le Mans. Motorsport. Summer. Saving a grand a month. It could be worse.

I'm a maybe again for this now as my plans have fallen through. I can only confirm tomorrow when I know what days 'er indoors is working.

If I do come I'd be able to give Chris a lift as I'll be going from Wigan. That's if he wouldn't mind being in a car with a total stranger lol.

Yeah if I'm coming it is no bother! She's in work until 10 tonight so I can't get hold of her to find out the days she's in. If she is working then I'm a definite.

Really sorry to hear that mate :(

Well if that falls through Chris, and you want to come on Sunday, I'll be more than willing to come up to Bolton and get you, and take you back later on.

Let me know, no worries if you're not in the mood :)
 
Right, I spoke to the guys at shinearama today and Paul wasn't in, so I'm going to ring him again tomorrow and finalize the numbers.


i dunno if i should bob along... i clean half a car, they would probably stone me

Remember, this will be an introduction to detailing, it will benefit those who are reasonably new to it, or those who only clean half their car ;)

Come along, you never know, you might learn something you've always wondered about :)

Is everybody going to come into these road close issues?

I'm from Telford and never drove to Manchester before... :/


Got a funeral to go to Saturday too, do may have to give this one a miss now :(

I wont be coming as Mandy is in hospital and not sure if she will be out by weekend.

As for route, do A5, A449 on M6 j13, follow it to J19 and do A556.

To get to same place if you want some good roads...A41 to A49 and then turn right at big Shell garage which is onto the A556. I've not checked the run...but if the A56 is blocked in Altrincham...and Sale is blocked....the location is in the middle...so not sure. If you want me to check when on a computer, I can in morning. I know that neck of woods pretty well as used to live up there till almost 7 years ago and have family up there.

I'm officially out. Couple of little issues have cropped up on the car and they need sorting. Pretty gutted tbh as I was looking forward to learning abit. Sorry Chris, hopefully Ed's offer still stands!

I'll give it a miss chaps. I need to pop over to the dealership and sort a few bits out.

Thanks for the offer though, Ed... top man. I'll be at the Bury/Trafford meet in the 200 next weekend with any luck!

Only just seen this, is it too late to be putting my name down? I could do with learning what the hell i'm doing :D
 
  AMV8, Mk1 Golf
with this weather im out too tbh, my bro is going to do the A1 with my dodo juice stuff, supernatural wax <3

deffo up for a mini meet next weekend tho.
 
It's around 67% of my reasoning! Have the 1.2 for daily use so it's a rarity to be able to justify a 280 mile round trip.. :eek:

Coming in from the M6 will I be affected by the marathon?

Must admit, I'm really looking forward to seeing an RB200, not many knocking about tbh!

This is the course map:

http://www.greatermanchestermarathon.com/event-information/course-map

So it crosses your path along the A56 in Altrincham, I'm not sure what time that section of road will be closed/restricted really. Avoiding it isn't going to be easy, apart from going all the way around to Junction 8 of the M60 and following the route that Jon.G posted on page 6.

You might pass it before it crosses, but I wouldn't like to say for definite.
