Big Thank You

twas that time of year again.....

I get a phone call from a number I didn,t recognise ....answered the call & hear Ash say....."Hi mate, Ive done it again " & instantly I knew what he meant Ash always does a road trip a few days before Stoneleigh etc .

I asked "where are you?"....on the moors some where miles from anywhere was his reply,
as he was in the middle of nowhere on a single track width road he had to give me his GPS location ( longitude/latitude etc) for me to then google to work out where he was .....he couldn,t have been in a more remote location LOL.
The decision was made to get him recovered back to my place. & whilst he was waiting for the recovery truck I whisked off to halfrauds to buy oil & some "special" gasket sealant he uses on his sump, try to contact Kev as he was the most local person I knew that maybe able to help with the tig work, like a star , Kev replied quickly & was more than happy to help Ash out, so before Ash was recovered back to my garage everything was in place to get him repaired & on his way again asap....ie, oil, gasket stuff & tig repair arranged.

When Ash arrived on the back of a recovery truck I couldn,t help but tease him & say " do you want to borrow a Roadster thats working?" as I reversed mine out of the garage .

Anyways, we set to & got the sump off , off to Kevs place & Kev did a great job of the Tig work ( great garage by the way Kev....sooooo much space I was jealous ).

As Ash has said, he decided to set off to Blackpool & by all accounts his trip went well from then on, nice one .

Ash..... I think your Mrs is a Star..to put up with you breaking the car everytime you come "Up Norf" .

Anyways.....Glad to have been able to help.


ps.... I,m moving to Timbucktoo the week before Stoneleigh next year

cheers
