Speacial thanks to "Uncle Slimey" of 2CV Peking Paris fame (2007) who kicked things off buying the "Shedtune Olympic Torch"

The fact that he has one of the best stocked wine cellars in the South West had nothing to do with why we agreed to deliver the torch in person ! He also lives round the corner from Tipton Garage where all my sheds get MOTd , tweaked and laughed at prior to C.T endurance events..looking forward to that weekend!
E bay have a free insertion weekend (don't be smutty)...so watch out for more tat,I was hoping to auction off some signed pictures of Billie Piper as I think they might sell well with 40+ year old grumpy shed dwellers but I have had no response from the Billie management team ,which might result in me flogging blatantly faked signed pictures of her instead
On the car prep front I reckon used all my luck up on the 10CR after finding two loose bolts rubbing against the flywheel,they should have been helping to hold the back plate on!

| Crap photo but the drill bit is pointing to a lucky crack! |
Plus, on closer inspection the £29.99 second hand never used clutch kit I had fitted -it was found in the boot of a car about to be scrapped-the friction plate showed two hair line cracks from the spring to the inner edge ..oops not sure if they were there when I put it in or damage from the 2,000 mile grueling thrash,anyway lesson learnt new bits put in now,along with thread locked bolts holding the back plate on and a nice new rear crank oil seal, I'm just waiting on a 70p gasket which cost £3 to post to turn up then the second hand O/D gearbox can be mated to its cleaned up bell housing and installed- hoping to get that done next week -other commitments allowing -then will move rearwards and sort the diff and drive shafts out

| New bits in all ready for gear box |
