Pabloss - I have your adjusters.. Do you want me to post them to you if I can't make it to this meet? As I'm not likely to be going up North any time soon otherwise..

I tried to let you know where to turn off but there was quite a lot of traffic around the junction.

Re: North East Meet
Its definitely 'up' if you are going North. 'Down' if you are going south.

I think you actually use more fuel driving north..

Coming home from work on friday morning, about 5 miles from home, car started misfiring, lost loads of power and engine managment light flashing, got home and phoned jus to see if he could have a look at the car. He came round, i started car up and it sounded really rough. He said it could be a burned exhaust valve.He then took out spark plugs and they were shot. The ones on the 3rd cylinder were propper knackered though, the ends had burnt off them. Head needs to come off to see what sort of damage has been done. The timing belt was due to be done in a few months anyways so getting all work done in 1 hit.

Computer games dont affect kids. I mean, if Pac Man had affected us as kids,
we would all be running about in darkened rooms,
munching on magic pills and listening to repetetive music
