Today we mostly went to watch Monty Roberts and Kelly Marks do their thing with horses. It was interesting, then went for a Pizza with some mates who joined us to watch Monty and Kelly

I have Suzuki interests as well, otherwise I too would have logged out permanently.

I see their point re the adds, but it is not the first time such things have happened.

I had a drawn out ( and pointless) discussion a couple years back over similar treatment of lada wheel and tyre discussion.

All in all though, I am finding Difflock to be more and more irrelevant to me.

IMHO, 'tis a pity ya went back in Hoodoo ... has blunted the point rather ...

Sorry bout that, Eddy. Moral support and all that to GB. He's put a lot of effort into this.
If it happens again it will be permanent though.
Meantime, I don't see the need to be over there - much more pleasant Boss over here! :D

Changed out the front, left, lower ball joint. It's been pulling slightly to that side and becoming harder to turn right for a week or so now. Should have sorted it, but won't know for sure until I drive it.
Checked locker still works - it does!!

Fiddled around with the Riva.

Replaced a few bulbs I'd nicked over the last year or so.

Adjusted the idle speed so it doesn't stall if you leave it for more than ten seconds when the engine's cold.

Got clocked over the head by the bonnet when the wind blew it closed.

Scrubbed a lot of moss off the windscreen wipers, which actually work quite well again now.

Removed countless bottles of cleaning stuff, WD40, oil, antifreeze and such which have accumulated in there. It's actually looking more like a car now inside than a car shaped shed.

Today I mostly, picked up a 2nd hand PC, AMD 2ghz, 500mb ram, 17" flat screen, wireless KB and wired mouse for £0.00 and it all works. :-)

Fitted a new outside light as the ceramic surround from the old bulb had welded itself to the main contact. :-(

Went for a walk down to the front and had an ice cream while watching the birds swooping over pools of water left by the tide.

and sorted out some BBC micro stuff to get rid of. *(this is not an advert....yet)* :lol:

Tonight, theres a band playing in the local pub, so off to watch them.
