Just as everything was going so well...... as im speaking to Rick on the phone tonight my new car breaks down   It is now in the hands of the garage whether the Melans make it to the ring, apparently i have hydraulic fluid leaking from my clutch into my gear box (sounds painful!) I had my polo for 12yrs and only in the last 3wks has it ever broken down, Katie the Corsa isnt even 2yrs old yet! I have only owned her for a week today, I wonder if I could make the garage give me a courtesy car if they can't fix it tomorrow? (that i could take to Germany?!) and in case you're wondering Est and Hayley both only have 2 seats in their cars and Kelly has a list a mile long of repairs that need doing to hers before she'd take it abroad (already tried that one!) a fed up melan Sounds like ur slave cylinder (if its got a Hydraulic clutch) or the crank shaft oil seal leaking into your bell housing (ooerrrr) to me... if its contaminated the clutch then hmmmm. You can use the PPR Pug 406 Diesel if you can get to Andys and I know Steve Z is thinking of assistance with his Bora. You will get there! Trust Brethren, Zarse and CA assistance.... probably the best assistance in the world. Call me if you want the Green Slug... much bigger than the Corsa and good on juice. Smells a bit odd inside but has big sofa like seats... and no stereo. oh and the fuel guage only works first thing in the morning, but it will sit at 80 - 90 all day and do 48 ish mpg. Feel free to go half cooking oil if you want but its the same price as diesel now so not worth the hassle... but smells nice PP |

F8cks sake....
Right...lets look at the options.....
Option 1: Garage fixes/gets courtesy car for you
Option 2: You all pile onto a train to Basingstoke, and Hayley gets you to Andys - You then either take Hayley's car, or Steve drives you down, and someone jumps in with me....
Option 3: As above but with the green pug (not recommended - remember this is Pig Pen's car)
Option 4: get yourself to Oxford (which isn't hard from Leicester) and meet Steve tomorrow night...or jig the plans around to get to Steves early doors on Friday.
Not an option: Non Attendance / Giving up / being ruled by your car.
Carlsberg don't make breakdown services - but if they did, they'd probably look something like the combined might of Zarse/Bretheren/Melans/Club Arnage.

Bradley.. your options list look good apart from option 3. The Green slug is a good honest old beater, having been maintained by my mechanic from new and for all its 223000 miles until he was given it by the owner. I have done 4000 miles since buying it 6 weeks ago and it has been faultless. May I also add that while driving it other motorists do not question your sexual orientation, think of rainbow flags, coloured handkerchiefs in back pockets, red jeans, vests, public toilets, lorry drivers and high energy dance music. I believe this may be a bonus over and above driving your chosen transport... if not somewhat slower and less driftable. PP |

No.. but its got British plates and could be full of Melans  . From what I remember of attending the DFH reunion you just drove... past the sign that said welcome to Belgium at about 90 in Wooly's Dodge. Do you leave yormobile number in services toilets? |

Thank you all for trying to help Garage not open yet, you are right LPP it is something to do with the slave and bell (the Green flag dude wrote those words on the diagnosis sheet anyway!) If they cant fix it today, I'll make them give me a courtesy car and then i think No4 is the best option... I'll keep you posted  |

Just spoke to a very nice man at the garage who would like to come to the Nurburgring with us Anyway he's going to have a look at Katie now and let me know if they can fix her today. If not he said they should be able to sort me out with a courtesy car but I wont be able to take it abroad... (would they know!) cross fingers xx |

Why did you not pack last night so you could head to Zarse Towers straight from work? Dx |
