    Wicked fun for 2 weeks.

    Well i bought my first valver 2 weeks ago. Absolutely love the car and really fallen for it. Nice to be able to smoke people for a change. Done a few beemers and i kept nicely behind an alfa Brera or something. Was slowly gainin on him.

    Anyways, wos just moochin along at about 40ish when all of a sudden. PANG A AN AN ANG.... Clutch straight to floor. Broken cable. After 2 weeks. But to be honest i rather it go now when i wos close to home and on a quitish road.

    Just wonderin how hard it is to change em its comin tommorow. I aint doin it like i was just curious.

    In about 2 weeks time its goin up to leeds to get all the arches and sills cut out and redone. Also gonna heighten the back so its level with the front.

    I'll get some pics up tomorrow or something to show what it looks like now.

    Already got the part mate the guy at mi local parts shop advised me on it. Thanks anyways. Infact i think the nipple has broke too at the same time the part that he told me about. Something on the clutch itself.
    Cost me about 25 quid for the cable and other bit.

    If only it was a womans job (no offence honestly i cudnt resist)
    I'll have a look in the haynes manual or somethin. Did the valvers and williams have different ones to the standard one point no chances?
    Think they one of them lyin about somewhere.
    Oh and i need a new rocker cover as the last owner forgot to screw it on properly and it melted on the exhaust or somethin. Tard.
