The directions that I've written are detailed. The Crooked Billet is in Iver, with Pinewood Studios about 30 seconds drive away.

Hi Dave,

Alas I'm down with the dreaded lurgy at the moment so assuming I recover in time, I'll most certainly be there with a box full of goodies!!!

I REALLY hope I can make this one. The car has been resting on axle stands since mid January having a bit of "non-essential" work done to it

Still quite a bit of work left to do, but it all boils down to the exhaust arriving in time!

...I suppose if it dosen't I could always go up with the standard exhaust...but thats no fun!

So, HOPEFULLY I'll see you all there - wish me luck, I'll need it.

Best of luck with it Andy!!

Should be able to make it

Its a bit touch and go weather I'll make this one now. Was unable to remove the big nut that holds the aux belt pulley on the crank last night despite our best efforts (jammed the flywheel and had a 6ft 6ins 25+ stone giant hanging off a 3ft breakerbar and it didnt even budge!)

We've left the bugger to soak overnight and today in WD40 and will make an attempt with a blowtorch.... it WILL come off tonight!

On a more positive note, the JT exhaust arrived from sweden today!!

So, if there's no more hiccups, all will be well... but this is my Volvo we're talking about....
