Rebooted the arse end of the Silver Bullet yesterday, and got the geometry tweaked. Geometry wasn't too bad, despite the poly bush fitting a few months ago. Oddly, rear toe had drifted, not quite sure how. At the front, NSF camber had altered - whether polys did that, or one of the various launches its had over the past year...   ...not to mention, as those who have been to my gaff, all those vicious speed bumps.

On the way back, I decided to have myself some fun aroud the lanes. Despite the low temps, the roads were again spookily dry, and the wet/icy parts easily visible. An odd sensation whacking through the lanes with snow everywhere. Although after 20 mins, I started getting neck ache, so went back to Miss Daisy mode.

I think we both know the answer to that ::)

TB, you need to get to the quack... I know you dislike them but you must get checked out. You obviously have some underlying issues that need sorting or you will have serious problems for life ;)

There is talk that my back issues are all related to an accident I had back in the '90's

Just topped up the Elite as i had 10p off a ltr so put 47.28ltrs of momentum99 in that took it down to £1.28ltr. then went home to see why the Astra H heater was not pushing out hot air, only to find out there was no coolent in the header tank(only checked it the other day) so topped up with 50/50 mix, took it out for a run and i can't find the leak anywhere ??? :-\ that will be another cold job this week :'(

Somehow I suspect the only thing that'd make TB go to the quack is if his head dropped clean off his neck!

Went to get something out of it and discovered the battery was flat >:( Not really surprising... I don't think it's moved for 6 weeks and certainly hasn't been started for over a month ::)

Guess I'll have to get some petrol into it so I can start it and charge the battery ;D

Stripped down the rear brakes on the neighbours Avensis to find that he'd been given the wrong pads too ::)

Oh... And another couple of drains for other people :y
