Such a glorious day so decided to bunk off work this afternoon and head over to GDC Automotive to have a five minute adjustment on my gear shift.....
....there's a good 70 miles of fantastic twisty B roads between here and Gary's place which I found mostly traffic free ....
...the 5-minute adjustment took two and a half hours as Gary fixed my gear shift rod and rebuilt my shifter for good measure which was missing a few shims and had a bit play in it....potential disaster nipped in the bud!...
I failed to remove the big nuts on my oil lines despite trying. Then i fitted a barrel nut onto a long stud by mistake till the stud pushed my hex tool out and refuses to back off. Its been a crap afternoon for project ASS GAP

Oil lines, get the big nut as hot as you dare, then shock them with a hammer by hitting the nut on one of its flats preferable with a weight on the opposite side. Might just do the trick.

Fitted carpets to the luggage compartment so things can be kept cleaner in there. Amazing chap at Timpsons cut a new key onto my blank from my old broken one, and it works!

Though yesterday, took the 911 and the wife to a National Trust mansion close to Shrewsbury.
Not very remarkable except that until recently I simply couldn't be bothered to drive it.
The Rennshifter has changed all that, now great to drive, 240 bhp/1000kg with big lung's 3.2 and a 2 in/ 3 out open pipe silencer...
Suddenly the car is very usable, a classic to be enjoyed rather than endured.
Mojo is returning fast.
