What a weekend.......nothing has gone right at all Crying or Very sad

1. Went to take GTS out for a spin after months of hybernation.....dead as a dodo........had to charge battery up

2. Scoot back up and running....pissing it down outside....can't find me waterproofs anywhere......Mrs says she might have thrown em out Confused

3. Went in the car to get money changed at post office " sorry luv we are all out of Euros" got to order them in for next week now.

4. New number plate arrived for GTS.......looks like a load of crap and dont fit Crying or Very sad

5. Went to pitch cheap n cheerful tent up in garden to see if it's waterproof told by her indoors to not ruin the lawn......guess I'll find out in france if it works or not !

6. Icing on the cake .......dug out my new airbed I'd used once last year tried pumping it up dunno why just thought I should try it ......got a feckin puncture glad I tried it out over here instead of finding out in france it don't work Rolling Eyes

Sat down this afternoon and had my first pint in 6 mths ......boy did it taste good Wink

ive got a pic on my phone but for some reason the memory card wont fit Confused

so unless i could send it to someone i cant show anyone

anyway i rang up scorpion, the guy said ive never heard of that blah blah send it back

i explained that i was going to france next week and at 6 months old the pipe shouldnt have broke

my local garage asked me to ask the guy. if he welded the flange back on would it invalidate the guarentee

the scorpion guy said he doesnt have a problem with it,

so the pipes been welded and its all back on Cool , just the coolant pipe to do and im ready to go Cool

as i've said before, everyone on here who is having probs with their scorpion pipe is due to it being the old single strap version which is flawed, as is the gasket.

as i have the new gasketless 2 strap redesigned pipe, i have had no problems whatsoever and look forward to the future of my GTS with confidence Razz

having just read the above, i ought to be a Scorpion salesman Shocked
