No Wheels on my Wagons

The Benz failed it's MOT today on suspension bushes, which means I have no functioning vehicle now. I'm working flat out on an office relocation in London so don't have any time to fix it, and the Mazda is in the garage partially disassembled with no chance of becoming roadworthy until next year. I need another car! I finally bought a battery for the 5 (along with some poly bushes and cat bypass pipe), but for reasons too tedious to go into it was delivered to the office in London I'm currently working from. This meant I had to carry it home, via the Tube. As you can get shot for carrying wires on the tube this was perhaps foolish, but I got away with it and only scared a few people.

Turbo Rebuild Kit

I received the turbo rebuild kit today, about 6 days since I ordered it from http://www.gpopshop.com/ in the USA; not bad. $140 for a small tray of bits... hmmm. Of course, I should really be concentrating on things like new ARB bushes (so it can pass it's MOT), and a new battery (so it can be driven to said MOT).

I am Lewis Hamilton (the fat version)

I went grand-prix karting today. Being great, I came 2nd out of 28 after a number of races and Russ was very pleased indeed. He'll have to wait another 2 years before he can have a go though.
