what are you doing at the weekend?

[timwilky]

I know already. The lads van has failed its MOT with a broken front coil spring. No problem I will do it for him tomorrow. Whoops bloody French rubbish no local parts org has them in stock. So I had to order and Friday afternoon is the earliest estimate.

So I guess my Saturday will be putting a pair of coil springs on. Yes only one has failed. But suspension components like these I do as a pair.

Now the local MOT centre offered to do it for £180+VAT+parts. I know my price for the springs is £32 each and they have a right to make a bit on parts and were quoting £45. but damm their labour for a back street garage is high to fit a pair of coil springs.

[keithd]

do we not have a sponsor this week?

this is what happens when amateurs try a pro's job....

i think really it was Tim having a moan...and people have ignored him and posted their own plans...

[Dappa D]

[keithd]

i may have to leave it til next week now, if i post a rival thread there could be all sorts of shinanegans...it'll be like the sharks and the jets. only with less finger clicking...

[plowsie]

what you doing at the weekend thread?

it'll never catch on.....
Not without a sponsor!

I think something like "The What you doing at the weekend fred?, sponsored by the 'Jimmy Tans gonna get raped by Bear in Soho on Friday night.com'"

Ahh well...

Friday - Gym and driving range

Saturday - I'll be taking my calipers apart and servicing them and possibly putting new pads in. And hopefully go and ask Mr Suzuki for another speedo drive too. Then if I have the time I will be off to the par three to have a schwing.

Sunday - If said Schwing does not take place I will exchange that to the 18 for the day. If the morning is free, prob go and bum about on some of Northampton's finer roads, or maybe even try out the Burnham Bends depending on weather. Then chill out for the evening.

[Viney]

Not a lot. Maybe, and i say maybe, wash the bike on saturday and put the Stock exhaust and number plate back on for the MOT. Sunday, possibly out on the push bike for a ride. Vern is up north for the weekend :(
