annoying day, went into town to get some high temperature paint for my 4 pots. Got it, on the drive back clutch started to fade.. until i had no clutch, went to shift down balancing the throttle and didnt make it :thumbsup: so had to pull over n get a tow home. Got home, got the slave off and got it to bits, perfect nick so it was the clutch master cylinder. Went to get a seal kit from halfords... who are C**p, so dont have one, because if someone were to fix a clutch themselves everyone in the world would die. Ontop if it all, ive got the flu off my bloody sisters boyfriend :thumbsup: And because of bank holiday rubbish i cant get hold of another seal until wednesday / thursday time! and ive got an interview at prodrive on wednesday! arghhhH! im about to hurt someone.

moan over, sorry guys.

p.s. will do sexual favours for a clutch master cylinder seal kit

ah, its for a year in industry away from uni, banbury is just assembley n stuff, did work experience there a while back. Warwick will be development for powertrain design. Id prefere to work at ricardo down in shoreham though, designing engines from scratch rather than just working on homologated blocks. Lets hope its good news from ricardo next week!

hope you start calling it banbuggery too, i might go n paint some signs :thumbsup:

when we were at kineton there wasnt really much point in the warwickshire goverment changing the sign back to gaydon wellesbourne, because every time within a day or two it would be back to the predictable gay lesbo, lol. Seen the ducks crossing sign on the southam road that has been changed to a black siloette of a dinosaur? lol! Been up there for almost 2 years now, looks mint, got a pic of it somewhere, lol.

its quite an achievement, the police must have seen it and just laughed at its harmless humours, considering ive been goin up and down that road since alive, and have never seen a duck crossing, lol.
