I wouldn't trust anybody to jack my car up apart from me, or my local MOT man! (He owns 3 minis, one a spotless pickup!)

Ah fair enough loads of things are like that you do something good then you have to write a lot about it, any way make sure you make an informed decision you will probably end up not minding abou the paper work.

My practical skills are pretty good, but my writing skills are absolutely appalling which is why I find it so difficult

Ah fair enough at alevel tech I got an E I made a trailer that attaches to a push bike but also fits on the roof rack of a car, welded it all up primed and painted it, it looked good and worked well and all my class thought it was good but I got an E because the paper work was rubbish aparently so I under stand what your problem is

Really? Agreed, there is a lot of cr*p but you can filter quite a bit of it. Surely a good way of keeping in touch with people??

Pretty good I think. Its my first year sprinting and I'm only 5 seconds behind my dad who has been doing it for 7 years. We were double driving his car which was good, apart from I can't get used to his clutch (cerametallic clutch) which has a very binary on/off feel, which I find incredibly hard to get off the line quickly

I was up at 5am this morning, then a 2 hour driver over to Cadwell park for the TVRCC trackday. That was too early! :D

I hate the fact that I'm crawling along at less than 20mph trying to avoid stones flicking up, and then some enormous range rover comes storming along the other way, throwing stones everywhere!

Hate to see what you are like when you are really bored! Clean the whole underside and engine?
Aug 19 2013 06:38 PM

IainStallard

Underside isn't even too bad aha, doesn't need doing :P

And no, even boredom won't make me clean my engine!
