      I'm just frightened of binning it, where as with the mg I don't care what happens to it

      As others have said Bedford has so much run off you should not bin it on there. You know how much my Saph means to me and I have taken that out loads of times so far only the gearbox has let me down.

        No, no, no - the gearbox has NEVER let YOU down , but has let Dave down almost everytime you hand him the keys . There is an obvious solution .

          Poor Dave he is always getting blamed for this, however I do think I contribute with my driving

          The solution - Dont hand him the keys Hopefully he wont be able to break the Clio

              Bless her! At least she gives the Escort a go! I'm sure she was not that bad tho eh ? Tho I do remember my first drive of Yum, I think I contributed to the next broken gearbox

                I'm sure that is what Dave tries to tell you - don't believe a word of it .

                      My misses won't nail mine with me in the car as I make her nervous, but as soon as she is on her own she nails it

                        Ok Mike, I will blame all the breakages on him from now on. But hopefully a Clio and Evo wont break

                        I used to give near on heart attacks when he used to do that to me, I gave him a near on heart attack when i raced a GTR (on a private track of course ) and he was behind in another car trying to keep up

                          I don't mind if she does but she hates it as she thinks I'm constantly looking at what she is doing, which I do but its only to help her drive it better

                          Its looking that way Helen, but I may try getting the spare engine in but not going to ruin my weekend trying to get it all fitted

                              Hope you manage to get sorted, but be good to see you out in the Escort.

                              I'm so looking forward to Bedford

                                Yes I was looking forward to it and chucking the MG around like hooligan, I have calmed down a lot from last night and can now see the funny side, had to tell Lou and the kids to leave me alone when I got home as I needed some time to calm myself

                                It will be a good day no matter what I drive, what time you getting there Helen or everyone for that matter?
