Hi All,

Just back from holiday. Sorry I won't get down to the meet but I'll be checking in and watching the live feed. Currently just zipping around the area building up some miles to that I can get the OBD system ready for the re-Inspection.
GJ - Out of interest, are the tyre pressures on these babies the same as the default pressures inside the door? I tended to find on previous cars that it was always better to run them a couple of pounds higher, bu then the last one didn't have power steering  :idk:
I am assuming of course that GJ will be capable of seeing, reading AND responding to this as some point soon  :lol:

Catandsplat,

You really do need to get down here. If at all possible. Come sunday, leave  Monday.

Tire pressure for me was always about 30. Others have different ideas.

My car is being put back together.

Hopefully they do not run into any more issues and will have it finished by the end of the day.
