I can see it now, Jackman walking around the show, with no shoe laces as they were used to hold the exhaust on his car.
How did you manage that? wasnt that jubilee clip was it, or like mine, those crappy non genuine rubber mountings.
Or, is the car that low, and Denmarks speed calming, mountainous bumps that got the better of you?
Anways, hope you have a great time and every one gets back in one piece.
Are there any dodgems to break over there? lol

Says he, whom is fitting computer controlled ignition in his car. Head gasket failure may or may not be atributed to ignition. Still its good going on one set of points considering the sh!te they produce now. I do feel for Jackman as I was intimately involved with that engine. Just want to get it back and fix it!!

Its Paul on marie's name
Not good on the head gasket its cooked the paint of the block, it got very hot very quick, barfed all the water or shall we say steam out the exhaust in about 500 yards. It melted number 2 spark plug electrode and the oil was very runny, jus like water. Doubt a new head gasket will sort this problem can see a bannana head comin of this engine.
Poor jackman we were doin so well. We were 1/2 an hour late to the ferry jus txt him n he is at the ferry terminal now havin spent the entire journey wit a chain smokin german who doesnt speak any english
The first thing id do when i got home would to ring the insurence n give them a good F*0%^&G for the way he was treated it was a joke.
Cant believe my car made it on 1 set of points and with the tempurature guage at boiling point for the whole trip, Slight problem of wearing the back tyres wit the wheel archs was soon sorted wit a 30mm spanner at the first hotel.
Paul

Jackman is just waiting for AA man now in Hull. he should be picked up at bout 11 and back home for bout 1. he is stripping head gasket off as soon as he gets home to see the damage.
he said he will bring it down tonight to show everyone.
All back in england now - the trip was good tho - had a good time and even caught the sun in between those downpours in denmark.
