lol no problem Tony ;)

Well today I was hoping to fit Reynards new exhaust but it rained hard all day. I will try and get it fitted one night during the week. I can't wait to hear what it sounds like lol :)

Got it out as it will be daily driver for the next week or so after the Peugeot disgraced itself by snapping a clutch cable at 1AM this morning. Had to be on a bank holiday didn't it so I can't get another until tomorrow and wont have a chance to fit it until the end of the week :rolls:

Stuck some different rear shocks on the BMW and then left it at home and went out in the TC :-D :thumbup:
Tested out the new steering wheel and found the wiper stalk which looks bent is too close so I will swap it for my new set by next weekend :thumbup:

Went out in the Marina, must have done about 100 miles. Had great fun getting lost on the country lanes. Sun belting down on the bonnet, windows down. What a great feeling. :)

What did I do to my Marina?
Took the ute to the beach and got a load of sea-weed for 'er-indoors compost heap. (put it all on a plastic tarpaulin)
Got home, unloaded the sea-weed and gave the ute a good hosing-down and a wash with wash'n'wax, it now look spanking new...once the snow melts off! :D
