seconded!

the day after it erupted i over heard a guy in dundee town centre saying that he'd woke up to find his car covered in ash ? i honestly felt grabbing him and shaking him til his hair flopped about, then slapping him, some people love drama a bit too much :?

That may be so Marc, i'm not saying it isn't, and i wasn't implying that you were over reacting, after all a volcano has erupted quite significantly, close to our little island.

Just that guy i overheard the other day made me laugh and reminded me once again that some people do love a bit of drama in their lives

Not much to report at the moment, apart from me getting really fucked off with the state of the roads in this country! Went to collect a few parts yesterday, and the drive was wicked, especially through the New Forest, but when you get off the motorway and A roads, it's shake rattle and roll! I'm hearing lots of knocks, squeeks etc.., plus my exhaust is seriously rattling loads now, need to get shizzle sorted! I'm hoping I have a job by the end of the week, so I will have enough money to get stuff sorted. If I get this job I will need a second car anyway, so I may buy a cheap Civic or use the Shuttle when I get round to getting the last few parts I need.



So I got a near mint bonnet with Jazz washer jets off Bradcoup...

And a set of JDM mats from JaptechImports which I gave a quick clean

I need to take off my scuttle panel as I still haven't yet. Bit scared of what I might find, but we'll see.
