A few from me here http://www.moparuk.co.uk/
I was actually giving a new lens a bit of a road test so the shots are a bit below standard till I get familiar with it. A lot of you parked at the back ( I start at the front and work to the back...logical progression ;) ) and most of you had gone early when I got there :roll:

I arrived just after Jules in the queue and at that point I think he was being towed... (might be wrong).

Jules - I was behind you in the grey charger. Did you make it home ? I nearly didnt ! !

Yeah - saw the pit and pit2 go past... I was in a world-o-hurt at that point.
I was flat out at 50 ! Car v.sick. Only firing every other lamppost, popping and banging.

Its ignition - still running the stock mopar twin points. I suspect condensor or points (prob both). Got worse and worse - it was a slight misfire when I left in the morning, got worse all the way down, dire on the way home. Just made it home (50mph top speed ! )

Stoopid thing is, I have the electronic ignition kit from Wil which I waitied months for, but of course now plans have changed and the pits cast-off(:)) engine is going in there is no point in fitting it - its worth more as a complete kit for someone. I was hoping she would do one last run - she only needed to do the run to Wheels day, and then the run to Blues place for our fitting extravaganza. Looks like I need to sort something out before then. Hoping with a condensor and a clean up / re-gap of the points she may be able to limp there. Dont fancy pushing down that lane to Blues... :)

Yes 'twas me being towed :oops:

On the approach road in the 'Q' the box decided to dump the trans fluid via a lose dipstick tube ( who's the dipstick tho :shock: )

After sorting it out and topping up the fluid, it then decided to not start due to a flat battery :oops: ( looks like the alternator isn't charging. Where's the regulator then? )

Easiest thing to do was to tow it in and sort it out in there.

Got home safely tho thanks for asking guys. Thankfully I only live a few miles up the road.

Altho it broke down, thankfully it was only the fluid. It could have been ALOT worse considering it was it's maiden voyage !!
Probably hasn't been driven in 20 years :lol: so I was pleased with the result. Still, at least I got it there as promised :thumbright:
