I was going to go down for this afternoon.............

.....but nowhere I've found in Cambridge can balance my wheels whilst they're on the car and sort out this shudder.. didn't much fancy shaking all the way there and all the way back :(

next time perhaps.

If you have trouble shifting it..

..take one or all of the sparkplugs out and decompress the engine - I found it impossible to budge it even a milimeter (I used the push it whilst in gear method tho) with them in place, even in 5th gear.

I hate contact breaker points! Hope you have better luck that I did!

Gaylord.

oh well.. if you're injured you're injured. Shame I was wanting to compare your rough, mean looking capri to my rough, mean looking capri.

Yeah what happened with Laura? She posted like once! And what's the story with my favourite capri: Pink Lady?

I'm going to try at least!

..I love a good drive and it would be excellent to meet you all in person and see whose who. But like I say I am monumentally disorganised... my memory and attention span is feeble for reasons beyond my lowly control.

Definitely going to try though, sounds like a riot.

Simple questions about CoC..................................

1) Where is it?

2) When is it?

3) Can I just turn up randomly or does it hhave to be prearranged with tickets and that?

I'd like to go, but I'm far, far, far too disorganised to cement the idea.

Thanks :)

I've just read best Capri quote ever.

I was talking to my ex via email and telling her about the car... she comes out with:

"whatever car you have, you'll always worry a bit about it - at least it's the car you always wanted to worry about:)) "

You've got to guess though!

You pop the jack on with its foot level with the ground and then start to raise the car and the jack creeps forward onto its toe. I find you have to guess what angle the jack's baseplate will be at once the car is at the height you want it, skew it accordingly and THEN raise it.
