If it's gone black with traces of green, then definitely past it, but worth scrapping the top layer off to see what state it's in underneath ::)

Must admit I'm also partial to the odd dollop of copperslip when servicing brakes ::)

Been for a 120mile run in the 3.2 Elite, and some halfway into the drive there was a large (few miles) part of a road in the moors the surface that had been layed recently the type with those nasty screen cracking stones that are all lose and the 20mph max speed limit signs and I was going between 30 - 40mph and all of a sudden some idiot in some flash new e class mercedes overtook me must have been reaching speeds of 60-70mph,  >:( ... luckily no stones hit the windscreen, Pissed me off so took pursuit after the road was back to old surface to only find out he'd taken another 2 cars  :o gave up then  ;D ... Some people eh.  ::)

Took the focus for a 160m trip to Lefkara, so Mrs TB could buy some old tat.

The aircon is still shit, and the thing is rough as hell on cruise, really jerky, esp on a slight descent.

On the upside, ITS NOT MY FOOKING CAR!!

This stuff still looks fine, but it came to me from a place that makes airliner fuselages when it was life expired (apparently they chuck it out at about 3 years old ;D) so maybe there was a good reason for that!
