Just got home from Wheels in Motion only a 6 mile drive,  ::) lucky me!. Great day sad thing is did'nt get my free setup as wishbone bushes are shot  :-/ along with a other with the same problem sadly.
Technical stuff bit over my  head, but at 5ft 4 what is'nt  .
Thanks to Tony & The Boy for fixing it. Nice to see other forum  members as well. Bl**dy hot. Nice to have a cold beer whem I got home, hic!

Just a quickie to say thanks to OOF members for attending today's meet, it may seem odd i'm thanking you but collectively we all learn and that's a good thing.

I hope everyone enjoyed the meet and i didn't bore anyone to much  ::)

Special thanks to "The Boy" who i know worked hard out of sight to make this meet happen (clapping of hands) and to those who brought the food (sorry your names are not at hand) but thank you anyway.

I hope we can have another meet very soon.... Maybe a bushing replacement knowledge day meet?

Once again thanks and lets do this again anytime soon  :y

I'm just waiting to hear that UK wide, vauxhalls don't have any more bushes (don't they just grow somewhere anyway?)

What a great day we had at WIM today, a big thanks to tony and jamie for setting this up, The cars were on and off the ramp like a bl production line today as i guess 10 had shot wishbone bushes, so finally it was my go on the ramp and i was confident that mine would be ok and the bushes passed the test HOOORAY, so isaid that the only issue that i had was that the steering wheel was slightly off centre, so could he adjust it, no  probs he said than his colluege said that i had a broken rear spring, so adjustment was out of the window. BOO HOO. :'( So two new springs to be bought and then back to tony to have the rear set up and the steering set streight ahead.

Personally i blame the missus as she was the last one to sit in the back  and therfore her fault. ::)  
Now she is chucking forks at me as i type this, where's my tin hat. ;D
