AndyK's next Birthday present.

Andy says that he is not that practical when it comes to fixing things but excells in other practical areas (i think he will know what i mean by that) so i think this would be an ideal present for him when he gets his Alfa track car.

why is it that when you get to a certain age we compare the cost of everything to how many bottles of wine it would buy. Glad it's not just me!

that is cheap for tools, where i work at the Ferrari/Porsche specialist, one of the technician's used to work for Graypaul Notts, he has probably spent about 6-7 Grand on tools. His tool cabinet is worth 1K with no tools in it.

Sorry Adam all I heard above was tools blablablablabla.....Sorry Andrew did you mention wine...

I have just realised I have no wine in the house, how the **** is a man supposed to get through a miserable wet evening at home.

Suppose to be at track at 0800 - Went to the car and had a flat battery - Went on track for the 1st 15 mins session and my clutch went bang...All over for the rest of the day - Got home wife deleted the photos - Then had to go al the way back to Llandow to pick the M5 up as needed Mad Chris to bring it home on his trailer, it was rush hour...

what is the specialist you use, also with a main dealer, you will get some 19 year old who will take your car out and thrash it.
