Happy birthday Matey... over the hill now

 

[jamesgw200]

That cake has more stopping power than you mate

 

[Yiannis197]

Happy birthday Ben! Lovely cake

 

[tombate911]

Happy Birthday mate. Someone actually made me a very similar cake last year in the same colour

 

[Jimmy]

dont think you have a choice now Jimmy..you have got to be there for the next one..you will love it and parts break,nothing a few quid wouldnt sort out...

I admire your gung-ho attitude to parts breaking Pav that's the attitude I need, but it's not so easy to adopt!

I'd be more inclined to do one at a track that wasn't mega far away, then at least it's not a massive trek if something did hit the fan!

Brake update:

Car was sent up to Chris at Beaniesport yesterday afternoon. Can’t praise Greenflag enough if anyone’s looking for breakdown cover



Turns out something had melted a hole in the servo pipe. Pipe has been replaced already and the heat shielding from the turbo has been adapted slightly. Sorted

Oh and it’s all been done free of charge

Result

 

[Beany]

Glad it’s all sorted.. bonus that it was free

 

[Chris]

Happy days easy peasy..

The AA try and mug me off every year, it might be time for a change come next year when I renew!

 

[Micah]

That's great service all round Ben. What level of cover do you have with Greenflag?

 

[Pav]

i need to speak to Trev to see if my servo is safe..
i love these good news though..very pleased for you it wasnt anything costly..

Can’t hurt to shop around...

It’s actually free through my NatWest platinum account so not entirely sure. Must be a pretty high one?!

Cheers Ben - I also get a load of cover through my Nationwide account so have just checked the policy doc for breakdowns. Appears they use Britannia (whooooo?!)

 

[jamesgw200]

Could’ve been a lot worse:excited:

 

[Pav]

Yep. They’re crap tbh. Not going to bother even though he only wants £10

thats a steal, mine were 20! but i was willing to pay anything for a photo

Fair enough James. I’d pay 20 if I liked it but most of mine are shoddy at best

Cancelled mine with them, wanted £220 off me, Flux gave me the same cover for £56 plus European cover...!

Little bit disappointed, I messaged him straight after he posted on Facebook on Sunday and still had nothing through!

I had cover with my Lloyds bank account a few years back, however when they left me stranded on the side of the M69 with a delaminated tyre and coolant pissing out for 5 hours I quite promptly cancelled...they couldn't give a damn on the phone either..
