Rumbled!!!!

Just a thinking aloud really, fed up with my Alp not running and the Missus is giving me grief about it too. Just want to get out there again so i've got something to distract me from the viola that's fun and not a unreliable nightmare which is costing me a fortune whilst doing nothing! Lee's right though anyone can afford to ask, it's a big difference to buy!

So John, where are you with yours now?

Has it run since the turbo overhaul?

Cheers

Sadly no.

The turbo's in and ready, now i can't start the bigger! Turns over fine, can hear pumps priming but no joy.

TBH even if you do buy a Noble you may as well keep the GTA anyway as you won't get much at the moment.

You may even find that the Noble is too much of an investment to be brave enough to drive it as hard as the Alpine!

Now that's definitely true!!

My other problem is time/money. Quartet is really great but not as well paid as i did before (which was still rubbish!) and takes up every hour gods sends 7 days a week. Add that to my total lack of skill/knowledge and you have a perfectly good car sitting there doing nowt!
