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

Oh my God ....
Was at work today thinking how I'd have loved a few of you guys around when I did the work on my bumper. Just to have a chat and an extra pair of hands. I'm actually waiting on Sam getting back in touch about his bumper as a replacement for mine so we could do that too .....
We have a "Do stuff" meet.
We nominate a car(s) that need some work and travel to it. Then on arrival, the host provides the coffee/tea/biscuits and together, we "do stuff".
I vote Stamford's ZS as the first "Do stuff" meet. Not handy with anything really, but I can follow orders and I'm free on Sunday .....

You know what? This is what I love about this forum, everyone gets behind us all no matter what and offers great advice and help. 
The missus said the weather's good this weekend, so looks like I'll be starting it and pulling my finger out!
Thanks for the friendly advice and offers for help etc, but I don't want to be dragging you away from your families. I can manage it, just don't enjoy it like I used to!
Cheers.
