    Re: Borrowdale 07

    Urm how can I put this..............

    Im gonna have to drop out people, no Im not injured.

    I arrived at the two lads tonight and my car started making a horrible clanging noises. This continued as I struggled to find a parking space. I got out eventually after parking on a side street. The whole street was covered in oil. I then walked down the hill past the leisure centre to register for the race, there was river of the stuff flowing down the hill. Seems my power steering has cracked up. Never seen so much oil or steering fluid or whatever.

    Anyway, I need my car to get to work all week next week, so my weekend will probably be better spent trying to get it fixed and sorted on saturday day. Rather than going to the lakes and hoping to find a nice enough mechanic to fix it sunday.

    God I dont trust mechanics,if you dont know nothing about cars. Your wallet is totally in there hands

    Sorry folks, and good luck with the reccie.

    Oh and just for the record, I had bad run at the race tonight, everyone seems to pass me on the climbs and I seem to make it up on the flats and descents. Uhm must be a fitness thing I think.

    Cheers
    Jamie

    Bad luck Moo, Manhar and NOUN. Hope your injuries (and car) heal soon.

    Yes, that's right - on the left just after the pub go under a rickety barrier and over a few pot holes and bob's your uncle!!

    Aiming for a 10 am start if possible weathers looking iffy
