Well, I WAS going to sort out my exhaust as most of the mount are damaged resulting in the annoying thing resting and rattling on the rear beam and I was going to put the CAT back on...Also I was going to swap a rear wheel for the spare as it has a FUCKING puncture.

BUT....I wake up on this day with these jobs in mind and its fucking RAINING! Evil or Very Mad

I hate this country sometimes. it hasnt rained for weeks around here...bastard typical!

typical eh

changign the mounts is easy matey, pop down to the shopping centre go for somethign to eat/a wandfer then the exhaust will have cooled enough for tyou to fit the mounts in the comfort of a dry car park! Thats what i do

I have stuff to do but cba

I really wish I had a driveway roof thingy...although not much good at the mo as the grey one is hogging the drive...

hope this tyre is repariable as its got loads of life left in it....bets on it cant be huh!

how much fuel is in it when the light is pretty much on all the time? Confused

light comes on when its gets to 1 gallon left which is about 5 litres.

where is the puncture?

dunno where exactly yet havent looked...but i was in the garage last night trying to pump it up and it wouldnt even start to go up!

ill go pull it off in a bit...i just hope the spare is ok...i presume it is as it has to be to pass mot each year? but ive never had to use it for the 5 yrs ive had the car.

whilst the car was jacked i realised the handbrake was doing fuck all on that side, i could spin it by hand with the handbrake on! but its working ok with the foot brake it would seem as both sides of the disc are nice and clean

I love 16V steelies, heavy though ain't they!

get new handbrake cables and fit them, world of difference for under 20 quid.

trance music though yea?? i dont get the feel off trance, DnB is for me

FCS Event Manager Joined: 04 Jan 2005 Posts: 3680

D'n'B lacks emotion and is too disjointed to be able to dance to however there is a new genre trying to break thru which has the bassline from D'n'B and the melodies from trance
the likes of ILS and concord dawn are bridging the gap with some very exciting results

like latino based drum and bass the music has emotion i luvs it lol
