Not far off Jay, had a bit of an issue with snapping a bleed nipple in the front nearside caliper, that's now with a mate who's confident he can remove it, and I have a new one ready to go back in. Then it's MOT locally and 4wheeL alignment with indigo and she'll be somewhere near! Ther'll still be jobs to do, but they'll be as and when I get the time (which seems to be very thin on the ground atm,gotta love being self employed lol)

It will be for sure, I haven't missed driving it that much as Ive had that much on of late, but it'll be nice to hear that evil car alarm triggering flat four burble hitting the Rev limiter once again, and of course re establish my account in crikhowell for tank fulls of shells finest!

Well worth it for Momentum in my experience

There's no Tesco petrol station in Abergavenny only a small metro by the cenotaph, there's Waitrose that sell V Power. Not sure what Old Hereford Rd garage by Baily Park sell maybe Texico from memory and Bailys garage on the Crickhowell Rd sell BP Ultimate.
Do you mean Tesco's Abertillery Dai??

I meant er.... either one Jay - before I got informed that there isn't a Tesco in a big place like Abergavenny.
Jumped the gun a bit I'm afraid.
Mind you, Tesco Ponty (pool) is a big 24hr one and that doesn't sell Momentum.
And my original comment re. Tesco/Momentum was intended to mean that if SW's regular itinerary (work for example) took them close enough to a Tesco then consider that, not just be stuck with a single supplier.
Anyway, in my experience the extra 20-odd miles would be offset by a 5-8% improvement in mpg.
And that's before you take into account a 4-mile coast down The Rock

Four wheel alignment compete courtesy of indigo Gt, had a good test drive home over Llangynidr mountain and the difference is night and day, major improvements with the kyb agx adjustables, and the alignment, she no longer pulls to the left and try to jump in the ditches,so all good for Sunday :-)

Sorry, but an all-too-familiar call-off again. 
Left it as late as possible but the wife can't get Monday off (long-term sickness at work) and we've been invited to a friend's birthday party (and won't drive for at least 12 hours after we have the sort of parties these tend to turn into).
The weather looks like it will be good (all the rain's already coming down I think) so hope you all have a good one.
