Yes we have breakdown cover Mugger
The car was great to drive, much quieter and smoother than the pug
As for the fishing, Dave Whiteman won today fishing from peg 7 with 74lb. It fished rock hard. 1 fished separated 2nd, 3rd and 4th.
I drew peg 16 and won my section with 59lb odd
John B was on peg 32 again and had 2 fish. He is putting the results up on the blog.

Thats not too bad really.
Dai is hopefully doing the cam belt for us as there is no mention of it ever been changed in the service history.

£160 for the cam belt and they aint as easy as they look. If you get the cam belt done done just do the belt do the full kit. If its a 54 plate then why do you need a new cam belt ? for that reg a cam belt change is recommended at either 100 thousand miles or ten years old (which ever comes first).

I still enjoyed it Dai, and it was worth it just to get some more Walker floats
I am missing some results at the minute as I cant get hold of Paul Jay. Pat gave me the results I have.
