Now Stuart,
America is going to be a bit of a trial for your wee baby but I'm sure she'll take it without too much drama... Just don't think of here on the free-way dodging mammoth SUV's too much. Think more of her trundling round Central Park, puttering up and down the San Francisco hills in a very 'Love Bug' type way (or 'Love Bear' as it is a Panda)
Anyway....
Right, what's been happening.
Well the computer packed up and I've had to get another one so the Update to
www.panda2america.com is just live last night. We're all NIIMC colours now as it will save Steve having to do a whole site. All he has to do is put a link on the NIIMC site and also ask people to visit the NIIMC forum to leave messages of sarcasm and derision etc...
Car wise, we got her back on Tue but was still not running sweet so the points where taken out, cleaned (thou not really needed but thought it would be a good idea) and adjusted (which was needed!) and the car is running sweet now.
On the down side there's a rumbling/moaning coming from the front wheels (I suspect the drivers side as the caliper was stuck on (and there was virtually no brake lining on the pads) when I got Sylvia last year so i imagine that Mrs Rowe has been driving round heating the hub up and killing the bearing.
I ordered two at Mervyn Stewart's yesterday for delivery tomorrow. (well if one has gone the other may not be too far behind and San Francisco is a long long way away to ship a bearing!) So that left me 140 quid lighter for the both sides but the great thing is that Vincent Taggart from Mervyn Stewart's has agreed to ship parts to the US via DHL or such if I get in trouble which is very very helpful of him.
So today it's change the oil, fix the front seats cause some of the foam I put in has settled badly (Tony's thread will come in handy for that, thanks!) and just sit back and relax till next week!
Jim
