EightySixtyEight

I rather thought that you might say that! It's such a c**p job to have to do though, especially without a hoist.

My 147 GTA is apparently a cast-off from a Malaysian importer and is not undersealed as well as the standard UK-spec cars. I once undersealed an Alfetta GTV with no hoist and I vowed that I would never do it again. There are a few companies that offer to do it for about £400. Does anybody know if they're any good?

The Wessex section of AROC are organising an area, apparently. Any members can contact Nigel Varney at [email protected] and he will book you in.
