Ha, now that's a very suspicious looking bunch -
Hope you all hard a great day.
I certainly had a great day. So good in fact, that the fact that my car decided halfway back home to develop a 'problem' with either the wheel bearing or drive shaft at the front wheel can not dampen my good mood. It was a trip, but very much worth it. It's not a big show as it is, but the attendance of so many of the Clan ( hmmm, tartan? Kilts??

) makes it very much worth the effort of getting there, even if it meant that I did not get any sleep. ( I went there straight after finishing a nightshift.)
Oh, about the wheel... when I pull away it feels as if the front is trying to detatch itself from the car, but as long as you roll along at 55MPH, it seems to be ok... when it first occured I pulled over on the hard shoulder of the Motorway, called the breakdown service (as you do), but because I'm not already a member, they won't tow me home... I can join, at an increased rate (which I find fair enough), but then they won't tow you home..

They give you a tow service number... £55 call out fee, plus £2 per mile for towing you home... £2 per mile??? that would have cost me three hundred F***** notes..

. So I wiggeled the wheel, decided that it was still attached, and just drove home very gently. It took me 3 hours to get to Doncaster in the morning, it took me seven to get back...although that includes an hour on the hard shoulder faffing about.
But hey, I'm smiling, I'm happy, I really enjoyed myself today..
Thanks guys
