    Space?

    pretty cool, did you go in and down to the bottom?

    Wouldn't like to be in there if those mixers where spinning, they look like they could do some damage!

    Working for my uncle years back at shopping centres doing the air condition you had to get into the service rooms through very cramped trap doors, once inside there where the massive Air Con units in ver little space! It was only tall enought for the machines and you had to crall around everywhere, no standing room or room to squat in! The duct work all weaved in an out... tbh I'm pretty sure if there was a fire there would be no way in hell you could get out! Bloody cool in them though!

    Gearbox Change & New Toys!

    Rang up Citroen from work this evening to check they would refund the release bearing even though it was a special order... they said they would, so I shot down there before they closed. When I got there I bought some clips for the side skirts and enquired about the price for a pair of droplinks, as the rubbers are slightly perished.

    After finding out Citroen want £78 for a pair of drop links, I declined politely and asked to buy the skirt clips and get a refund on the release bearing. The same guy (Mike) then said he didnt think his boss would authorise a refund... WTF? Why do you think I phoned before coming down here?!

    Anyway - waiting for MIkes boss to ring me back tomorrow to see if they will refund or not. I then trecked back across town to Andrew Pages, where I collected a pair of drop links using the Saxperience discount code for £24ish. Result!

    After leaving Andrew Pages I went to see my friendly MOT test guy... Ive booked the VTS in for Wednesday morning. Fingers crossed!

    Just going to fit the drop links and lower the car off the axle stands and HOPE the release bearing is properly aligned this time.

    NOTE TO SELF - I still need to fit my new oil-cooler too. PLease dont forget. LOL.

    Fun in Fuerteventura

    I have aplogised to Barrett, and I will put it here, I forgot the obligatory

    Have highlighted the tru parts though, quite shocking tbh

    toxoplasmosis...male carriers have lower IQs, a tendency to achieve a lower level of education and have shorter attention spans, a greater likelihood of breaking rules and taking risks, and are more independent, anti-social, suspicious, jealous and morose. It also suggests that these men are deemed less attractive to women.

    That is quite funny lol!!!!
