My crutch has been all over the place lately. Had a pro look at it the other day to make sure it was working alright. Had to get a new Master Cylinder for it today which is what I'll be fitting tomorrow.

hopefully Nina will be coming on sunday, if not then I'll jump in yours if thats alright.

Jesus Joseph and Mary! I thought Pease Pottage was going to be a car meet. :roll:
Had to look twice to make sure I was on the right forum. :shock:
I know Brighton caters to all tastes but there are limits :oops:

I trust the clinic was able to surgically replace 2Crooky's long twisty bit? :twisted:

Just remember guys this is a car meet, so lets get priorities straight. They'll be no smut until sir smutalot announces battle - can we use our 'swords'? :twisted:

Hi All

I'm sorry to be off-topic, but are there any MR2 specialist garages anywhere in or around Brighton?

No garages that I'm aware off.. a few of us are handy with a spanner though.

Why you ask? And why was there no smut in your question? :lol:

... perhaps I should add, that I did ask my partner if she fancied coming on the run, but I explained for the car to look reasonably up to scratch (I came on the lst run and didn't dare join the line up) we (ie *both* of us) would need to spend say 6 hours between us cleaning and waxing, on the Sunday morning. She wasn't *that* enthusiatic at that prospect, can't think why.
