I know what you mean Mick, that is why my Maestro is still sitting at my dad's and not outside my house.
A mini meet (with spanners) is a good idea, I'm sure between us we could get a gearbox sorted - is there anything else needing doing?
How about a Sunday morning meet, gearbox swap and then a run up to Hindhead and back?

P.S. Pete - didn't know you did the South Coast run - I would have been there if I wasn't in the middle of the bay of Bisque
