Autumn 2008

OK.... after struggling to get the bloody clutch back on and the engine back into place, I finally admitted that I had neither the space, the time or the knowledge to fix the Metro and decided to take it down to HT Auto's in Garforth (see 'sponsors' for more info!) They've had a quick look at it and have said that a bolt has come of inside the mystical workings of the A series engine, so they're removing the engine, bolting it back on and then spot welding it into place... hopefully it is as simple as they make it sound! Fingers crossed and finances permitting, I'll finally be out again at the end of September.

The Escort is in (also to HT Auto's!) for it's MOT this Saturday. After it has (hopefully) passed we'll be putting our entry in for the Kall Kwik Rally in November. This will be our first Multi Venue Forest Rally so, not only will I need to work out how to use the Terratrip, but also how to read real proper pace notes (rather than using a route plan!) Watch this space for updates!
