Wow, how the nights whizz past at your house eh!

To answer some of the ones that people havent got right yet. The difference in mirrors is three brackets to hold them on instead of two. The two makes of glass are Sekurit and Secursiv. I'd say the colours are Alpine white, Tornado Red and cant remember the proper name of the other one. One of the tyres was Michelin MXV 2's I believe too.

Wow, after that I think I need to look at boobs or something, seriously sad.

I bet pete was thinking about the flywheel bottom cover bolt that goes on the gearbox as the 11mm bolt but the camshaft bearings are also 11mm!

[PeteG40]

camshaft covers are nuts - not bolts!!!

i have to do something to show my worthy place as club leader!

sam - as for nights whizzing past - ye, i'm working on my car(s) its taken me same time to fit an engine conversion (with engine repair) as its taken you to do a corrado rear wheel bearing!!!  I know your past times are x box and sitting on yr couch with yr hand down yr pants!

And I've done two wheel bearings actually and I'm sure you've still found time to stick your hand down your pants whilst on your laptop staring at oily bits of cars!
