controlled explosions? I wish. My little metro (built to corner at the
Plough in Southport - all four wheels'd leave the floor if you tweaked the
wheel proper; just as one hit the *ramp*) made front page news in the YEP.
Someone put a bomb in it while I worked in the pub and blew it's window
jambs on the doors to skew-if. Windscreen was maybe 20 yards up the road.
Police were more concerned about the phone box the vandals attacked the same
night.
deary deary.
oh and it's closer to 140000 now John :oD
thit began running better when I stopped putting the diesel treatment in.
Maybe it should be flushed through with it and then run on untreated derv?
lol, I was using a litre a month. Then stopped and economy went up markedly.
I'll treat it again soon.
Right after I Redex my mother's Beamer.
Regards.
