Was supposed to be changing the inlet cams for A cams from G cams at the weekend but rain stopped play - again....

That and I need to get a pair of camshaft oil seals of which no-one in Vx dealership land seems to know what they are....?

Drove it 20miles to put some go-go juice in it, only to find the A43 is chaos due to speed limits to protect the cones. No idea what the cones are supposed to protect, bloody highways mongrels.

It snowed as well :o  (that said, its snowing heavily now)

Watched the RX8 go off on the back of a flatbed and £460 arrive in my account in return.

Yeah, the 'Donalds roundabout at Towcester, something to do with more housing needing roundabout tarted.

But it was a standstill today, whoever put up the roadworks guard needs shooting because they are mongrels, and how many workmen did I see in the 40mins I was queuing to do a mile? Zero. Zilch. No wonder its going to take so oppsing long  >:(

The roadwork's have been there a while, the phrase"plan your journey" "leave 5 min-wets earlier" or there is the "don't they know who you are, and your time is precious"

You mean leave 40min earlier, because it'll be chaos whilst the contractors are doing buggerall.

My fault I guess, as I foolishly forgot that it was unfeasible to drive 10 miles, fill the tank, and drive 10 miles back in my lunch hour. I foolishly assumed it would be different to rush hour on Grand Prix day.

Presumably for a job closer to home, as that would be an impressive commute ;D

Or considering moving?  Remember the water quality does something the closer you get to Readingham :P ;D
