Very best of luck all the CMS crew....... hope everything goes swimmingly.

Shitting yourself is the usual reaction - I haven't spoken to a single mate of mine who wasn't in deep dread and utter panic.

 

It's well worth it though and an absolute blast..... wroth every second of the hard work those nights will seem.

HGF was confirmed on the little Pug 207, just adjacent to number 4 cylinder. Stripped it on Friday, had the head checked and skimmed (took 7 thou' off) and rebuilt it over the weekend.

 

On running it up the water level would rise in the expansion bottle and then rise to the very top on key-off when hot. A check of the top hose showed no pressure in the system.

Changed the pressure cap and ran again from cold and everything is back to normal, coolant level remains at the max mark, it doesn't rise on key-off and I can feel pressure in the top hose, happy days.

WIFE_CMS is currently in an operating theatre, under a general anaesthetic, hopefully giving birth to our first child.

All the best Mr and Mrs Andy, what ever you do though, don't look down the business end whilst the babies coming out, it will put you off pork pies with jelly for life.

 

By the sound of it, JR_CMS is coming out of the side door.

 

Congrats Mr & Mrs CMS.

Then it becomes worse.

Justice! I adjusted the handbrake to the max to reduce the travel and it still seemed a bit slack, but it was enough for potentially 1 year of shedding rust and blowing veg smoke on back roads.

Enjoy it whilst you can, as you will NEVER eat toast in peace again now...

 

When I make Amy toast, I make charlie's as well, and put it on her plate. THEN he eats it. On his own plate, no chance!

 

Have you bought a car whilst she can't punch you yet Also, dot to dot on the stitches goes down well...

The 940 is a 7 seater. Sort of. Well it is fine for the dog. ????

The 850 came with a 7-seat option. In fact if you do find an 850r, you can have the rear-facer setup out of mine, seatbelts and all

He is our first aye... we were more or less told we'd never conceive naturally but this little bugger proved otherwise.

 

I'm home and flying at 40,000 feet, mum and baby still in hospital... hoping to have them home tomorrow

Fucking well done sir. Even more to mummy cms for bringing the bairn in! And well done to the little one for defying odds! Its a great feeling isnt it?

[beko1987]

You'll realize, at shitefest 18 why I end up slinking off to bed at 10.30/11pm after a few beers, then sleeping in until 9/10am. It's not that I want to, but late nights don't work anymore, and not being jumped on in the morning, you just sleep by accident.

[mercrocker]

Excellent news, CMS206 many congrats

[Cheggers]

I've already aired this in the Lazy Spotters Thread, but feel it deserves a wider audience.

 

Spotted in Southsea on Sunday...I think I'm in love (that's the newsy part).
