    Thanks for stopping

    A bit of a struggle to get to the meet after dismantling the car in the works yard to repair a faulty non return valve.

    This valve had been stuck open and letting boost recirc through the idle, so all the people who had been in my car after it had been mapped and thought t was fast, ITS FASTER BY A BIG WAY.

    Nice wee run out after the meet

    Had to get ahead to pull into a lay-by to alleviate the pressure on the bladder. Upon my haste to catch up the squadron of Scoobs the recirc hse for the dump valve decided that enough was enough and went awol from its mounting. I managed to free wheel the car, with it sounding like a boiled kettle, into the Esso station for a quick look see. With only limited tools, 2 plain screwdrivers, i managed to effect a temp repair to the offending hose. I regrouped with the squadron a bit further up the road but i was not convinced all was well. Left the RV point and immediatly knew it was gonna do it again so pulled off at the roundabout and let the group carry on its merry way. I did not have enough light or tools to make the repair permanent so i called Mr AA and his wonderful yellow truck. A breakdown wagon would be with me between now, 10.40pm, and 12.45am. face-icon-small-sad.gif .

    In the distance i hear the all too familar sound of the flat4 burble trundling towards. The loverly Blue wagon of Des pops into the lay-by and my heavy heart lifts. The man has a torch and this lets me get the hose back into place after some cursing and swearing. During my struggle to relocate the tightest god damn hose in the world, 1 by 1 the squadron rumbles into my wee lay-by and with a wee bit of vocal encouragemnet i relocate the hose back into place and the jobs a good un. I call back the AA and tell them to send the mechanic back to this bed.

    I select low boost on the AVC-R and trundle off home ward with the car sounding as it should and pulling quite crisply but not enough to push my luck.

    So cheers to everyone for stopping off to ensure the Squirrel was ok

    and Boo to the AA man for kipping when he should be working

    I thought it was Colins 1995 company car going through the watersplash at Margam and with hindsight and closer inspection, only one roof scoop, i fully admit my error.
