Hello David, around 7:30 pm lol

I had a little coolant issue, as neal, mals and i were going down the M1, my temp guage just stopped working and dropped to the bottom, car was still running ok so i thought maybe the connection to the sensor had just come loose . . then a few miles further down the road it started working again, it shot up to MAX and the red light came on, ooopps so i pulled over to the hard shoulder with mals and popped the bonnet, loads of steam coming out the pressure cap.
so we let her cool down, took off the cap and topped it up with cold water.
checked the sensor connection and it was fine, weird.
We had to tow start the car, it would not start off the key, starter motor was too hot lol.
anyway it ran fine until we was about 20 miles from home when the temp guage started creeping up again.
pulled over and left it on idle and the temp went down.
got it home.
i suspect a faulty thermostat even thou its brand new.

I had a good day there anyway, there was some really nice cars there as well as some dogs lol
talking of dogs, that bird in the short black dress, my god her thighs were just horrible!!

Was good to catch up with Mick, Leanne, Ben, Chunk, Mad Pierre etc etc from RSC, was good to see Rob, Jill and the F7power crew, some really Mint Williams Clios that lot own!!

And also to see David's R5 in the flesh, talk about shoehorning an engine in heh
Nice work on that R5 David!!

Aye i got home ok thanks Mals Smile

but it gives me some more fault finding to do on the car, need to find out why its overheating when i push it past the 80mph mark yet temp sits fine whilst going thru roadworks at 4mph for 40 minutes

Posted: Mon May 29, 2006 7:29 am

The roadworks were a nightmare Average speed cameras 40mph over about 9 miles on the M1 and M25, what a night mare, got chatting to a truck driver in the queue, who was telling me how easy it is to perv down the tops of women in cabriolets from up in his truck cab,

At that point I pointed out I was not a women, and pointed to my facial hair, he conceded as such and went on his way.

What time did you get back Neal?
