after an afternoon spent running around bristol yesterday sourcing parts i returned to home base with a couble of sets of new spark plugs, an oil change gasket kit (another one) some more oil and the promise that BAE electrical would get back to me about sourcing new bosch plug leads.. (the hassle getting these has surprised me, all the motor factors ask the same question ‘what, model, what year, what colour’ telling them its the same as a recent EFI citroen is no help at all, if it’s not from a 3 year old blue ford mondeo they don’t want to know…

hubbs scavenged some parts for his t25 wedge from arthur and mark at dub depot and got the prized foglight bits he needed – all the stuff is in the wedge for rear fogs but his model didn’t have them ‘switched on’…

getting pack to akciddento towers i realised just how soon the Summer Nationals race meet is… IE THIS FRIDAY!

so i bit the bullet and ordered a replaceement coil pack from DTA in Manchester with the promise that they’d put it straight on a courier…. I ordered at 2pm yesterday and at 9.30 this morning there was a knock on the door and there it was ! 😀

then the phone rang and scott from BAE says he can geet the bosch leads i need, they’ll be in tomorrow by 10am… things are looking up. let’s just hope that this sorts out the problems. if you’re at the summer nationals at santa pod this weekend and you see someeone in a red fireproof babygrow weeping and muttering tearing out the last of his hair then you’ll know what’s happened…

i also picked up a copy of the new UltraVW yesterday and there’s a great picture of the samba at the dubs in the park meeting a few weeks back… very cool. also theree’s the big double page advert i layed up for conor at Raceshack which looks cool, the CMYK conversion looks a little washed out but generally it’s ok…
what made me smile big time is the little section announcing the

akciddento bus land speed record party!

august 22nd at the raceshack facility, Tewkesbury, Junction 9 of the M5.

I guess i beetter start pushing the publicity on this one then doh!
