A reminder guys about Walkie talkies. I have a spare one if anyone needs it but I don't have a charger so it takes 4 aaa batteries. Best bring some spares just incase.

Tiff, I have one for you also :th:

What a day, myself and Nic set about sorting my car this morning, new plugs went in, tie rods looked uprated so left alone, then we went to swap the exhaust manifold as it had a crack. Bit of a struggle but we got it off, replaced the gasket and bolted the new one in place. It was very awkward as there is no space and in the struggle we managed to trap a wire under the manifold! We only realised when i pressed the starter button and the loom began smoking. At this point i let go of the starter and we freed the wire, but when we tried to restart there was nothing. I though that was the end of my Highland drive as we tried everything to get it to run. After a couple of hours of phonecalls to other vx'ers and searching the web, Nic found a post where somebody did the same and it turns out there is a hidden 50amp fuse in the front, fingers crossed we found it and it was blown! So we repaired it with fuse wire for now and i'm borrowing one from my mates race car tommorow , phew it runs again, panic over, i need a drink.

Finally got to look at my car cosmetically and, feck it I will paint it after the highland run. Just not sure once which year HD it will be :laughing

Car is mechanically sound, everything else is irrelevant, my car will hide for all the pictures.
