I've no idea how many Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire members of the TSSC
there are, but we had, I think, ten members in their cars, and another
couple of members whose cars are not currently roadworthy turn up on
Monday night.

That is my fear as well, but every time I decide that I really should
start looking for one, the blue smoke goes away. Yesterday's drives to
and from work saw a puff of smoke only once, and that very thin. If
she was smoking like crazy all the time, I'd be forced to admit that she
needed major work. As she only smokes occasionally, I keep hoping that
the build up of carbon in the engine is beginning to seal the rings (or
whatever it is that is wrong with it). She has only done 400 miles
since the head gasket blew, and is presumably still fairly clean in
there...
