Overlooked thanking Ian Mothersole for the passenger ride at Japfest as my introduction to Castle Combe and tracking an RX8. Brave pills and larger cahones to be sourced from eBay for my next outing at the Car Limits Day on 12th June!

No problem Chris.

You won't need very big 'cahones" at the car limits day - theres nothing to crash in to! Just go for it and watch your grin get bigger :thumleft:

Just like to say a massive thank you to Scott (Scitmon), his Dad and Evan for coming over and spending best part of their day removing my engine from the broken RX8...

There were some seriously stubborn nuts and bolts (that car put up one hell of a fight!!) but they never gave up and we were victorious in the end.

Thank you so so much =D> =D> =D>

Thank you to Jay (jrmurray1108) for letting me take out his RX8 and giving me inspiration on what to do next, we scraped on every speed bump out of my estate, but I still want the same springs :lol:

Thanks to Jazz (jamroll1992) for noticing that I had a wheel center cap missing at the Devon RX8OC meet.

He kindly sent me one in the post and didn't want a penny for it, no matter how much I insisted on paying for it!

Thanks Jazz! Top man!

Well I would like to thank Ben minisaki and his partner Hannah for putting me up at their home over last Weekend so as I could attend the Scottish Car Show on behalf of the RX-8OC down South =D> =D> =D> =D>

They cooked me a fantastic Dinner on the Saturday Evening which filled up a nice whole in my stomach :P

This is what the Club is all about helping each other out and avoiding Hotel Bills etc....... :thumleft:

We also had a little Breakfast Club Meet on Monday Morning at the Toby in Paisley before I had the 445 mile journey home =D>
