Re: [doc] Place your bets...



If it helps, I really can relate. 

Normally in the past I would pay someone else to do the dirty work 
but in ONE day I had the car in for MOT twice and then back home and 
a complete brake bleed - handbrake adjustment etc etc... you suddenly 
just get on with it. 

I still need to sort my electrics, disassemble and reassemble the 
speedo/angle drive, paint facias/window trim... blah blah blah.. and 
I ain't trusting ANYONE with my car (well, I'd trust you club guys 
but that's different) so I'm doing it myself.

Don't rush #2727 if she's not gonna make it... take heed of Project 
Vixen!

I should have free time coming up if I can help at all... maybe time 
for another "D" day for work?

Shame about the Europe thing - I have 5 weeks holiday to take yet!
