Zedshed (Midlands)

My sincere thanks to everyone yesterday especially @t-tony and Shirl who throw their home open to everyone: so very kind and generous. The ZedShed Midlands HQ is utterly amazing! Great to meet new and old friends - see you all soon.
 
Hi everyone it’s my turn, (and happy Mother’s Day to all you mother’s, no pun intended) didn’t help at all at the shed yesterday cos I’d put my best shoes on not realising we weren’t out in the cars.
Here’s some pics I took to stop me getting into trouble.

From left to right. Steve @Springers,Al @Bringit96, Dave @Grumps, Dave @Mint, Paul,@Paul Rice, Jim @Jjim.
One young man stands out a mile and wasn’t at all fazed by being surrounded by all these old codgers, he’s got loads to smile about with all those motoring years ahead of him. Lucky git. Tony will wipe that smile off his face when he asks him to hold the suspension up and we all sneak off for a cuppa.:wacky:

It’s ok Al, your not the only one left holding things up, in fact without me they wouldn’t have a clue don't mention our little conversation to Tony will you.

Dave Grumps, “ you never seen anything like this, I can tell you, painful you’ll never know, now what’s next”.
Paul looks mesmerised. Wonder what Dave was telling them.????:wtf:

That's my concentration face! It's not as easy as @t-tony makes it look :whistle: On the contrary, no distractions and being disconnected from the rest of the world whilst being working on cars, couldn't be happier! :D
 
Looks like a good day. Shame i was working or would of come over. Maybe next time

Now are these two things related. @Grumps doing some actual work and the fact he is feeling a twinge in his back.. =))

@hard top ... I think you could be right old boy.
 
Hi Dave next Saturday there may be just me and @Bringit96 doing some brake work on his Z3. We'll confirm later in the week.

Tony.
 
Just to finish off here are some photos Mrs Mint took...mostly workers but some watchers:whistle:=))

The trip back home from Tony's on Saturday evening was interesting as the Zed was quite hard to keep going in a straight line:(. I thought it was because I was so tired:rolleyes: but it was the same yesterday while we were out in the Peaks:eek:. So I took the Zed to get the tracking sorted today.
Anyway, there was plenty of toe out but no toe in at all, in fact the chap who checked it said it was off the scale. 30 mins later and the Oxy Acetylene torch in use to crack off the adjusters and she's all done. Has made a HUGE difference, she's back to normal now.:thumbsup:

The process has certainly moved on from the last time I had it done. You do need to be a computer whizz with this laser alignment stuff. Perhaps that's why the chap who did it looked about 12=))
