Supposed to be heading up to GT on Sunday but the weather forecast is horrendous. Anyone been up recently? If so what's it like condition wise?
Also heard a rumour of some trail closures?

I went around the black route on saturday with big Euan and i can only see one section closed (pennel's vennel) due to tree's down, other than that it's all good, lots of area's have had the tree's thinned out recently and some sections are looking a bit bare, especially lower down on the way up, it's still a mint trail centre though  www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2640526 |

That's rough ..hope you get sorted sooner rather than later Man, and there was me thinking that auto boxes done the changing for me lol I'll get it sorted as I don't have a choice, £1500 for the repair also lost £250 deposit I put on the new car, Could have bought another bike for that lol |

That's the only problem with " quality " cars ..when they do start to go wrong the replacement parts are "quality " prices too !
It's a bit shitty that you have lost your deposit ...does this mean you are running the Audi for a while longer ..?

He's saved me money in the past I was going to give him a shout but I chose to cut my losses and punt the car on anyway so the issue is now sorted, i'm still £1500 out of pocket but I suppose thats better than than £1750 |

Yeah, not sure i'll bother though, it's fairly nippy as it is. As it's an SLine SE it comes 220bhp out the box instead of the standard 200. It's been a long time since i've watched a car drink the fuel like that lol
