Getting a bit fed up with people pulling out in front of me at junctions/on motorways etc, so have upgraded the horn with a nice 100W/122db Whelen jobbie 8)

Before anyone jumps up and down, it is set to Airhorn, and is completely incapable of making any other noises without rewiring :y

It should make all those people who have abbreviated the Mirror Signal Manoeuvre routine to Manoeuvre think twice ;D

Drove the MV6 again. I love it. I just instantly feel at home, once foot is readjusted for TC pads.

Then had a lack of talent moment. 'dangle berries'.

Put a new ignition coil on no 5 cylinder and put new spark plugs in, back to six cylinders again now ready for Rockingham next weekend.

Then spent two hours fighting with the meadow I call a back garden ;D
