Today was the first day I was out in my GTA after waiting 6 weeks for the oil I ordered to come through. It still amazes me every time I drive it. I had almost forgotten the thrill. I think I need a new clutch tho! :(

Six weeks! That's nothing! :P My car was off the road for months! I was having serious withdrawal symtoms. I'm sure I was starting to get the shakes! :lol: It was such a relief to be able to finally get out for a 'fix' today! :D Am I the only saddo or is everyone else as addicted to thier GTA?

BTW I don't know what tyre 'Destuction' is, but I know what you mean! :lol:
I've lost count of the number of rear tyres I've had! Fronts seem to last forever though!

Seriously though, I hope your clutch isn't on the way out. I've been there done that too and that isn't much fun to have happen! Had to drive home without a clutch once!

It only gets the best, and always will as long as I have a job! It's my baby!
What actually happened tho, is that I ordered it from a guy in England who sent it normal post to me, and it got lost. Royal Mail don't consider it lost until 15 days after postage, so I had to wait to see if it turned up. When it didn't he sent me some more, recorded delivery. It arrived a week later. Before that, I had searched every good oil supplier in Northern Ireland to find the 10w-50 I was recommended to get by the oilman for about 3 weeks, so I've not had the car for a bit over 6 weeks! :x

(I know I shouldn't have drained the oil before I had new oil, but I didn't expect the trouble I had, and now I know where to get it I won't have the same trouble again)
