Didn't miss a beat...

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Didn't miss a beat...

Post by 88SJ » Sat Jul 11, 2015 6:20 pm

Drove the SJ from Solihull to Wareham this morning. 168 miles mostly at 70mph and all good. Normally don't do more than a few miles at a time so went for an oil and filter change before I left. And the SJ had been running hot which turned out to be a knacked rad cap..so replaced that. Man these motors are amazing..!!..
Best bit though...roof been off and have been on the beach since 11am 8-)
Good times

I was gunna go down in our Porsche 356A kit car but its not finished..!!.. Always plenty of VWs around your way...lots of steep hills to take on too though!! Was there a show on somewhere this past weekend? Saw loads of various VWs cruising towards Swanage...mostly water cooled though!! Not really my thing but would've gone to the show if I'd known about it...well if I had been allowed to go!!!
