There are also purposely build products for this that work very well and don't look crap.

The rubber glove looks a codge, alright if your 150miles away and misfiring like a pig

Buy a black rubber gloves and no-one notices. I had a weather shield on my mini but it never did a lot. The rubber gloves trick worked wonders on it.

The fact they would not even give me a quote, yes. I've driven many fast/expensive cars for work, and I'm using vauxhall parts for the conversion, so I don't see the big deal. The engine is only rated at 115bhp, and in a reasonably big estate car, It's not going to be that quick. :(

Engine conversions are usually a specialist insurance job. Not really up to the likes of aviva, churchill etc

Yep. I'll wait until next June.

Doubt it. The Metro wasn't released until 1980. I'm going with it being an 80s toy :D

I ran out in sight of a petrol station once. It was up hill and I wasn't able to push my mini up it. No one bothered to stop and help me despite causing a tail back in rush hour traffic. I ended up having to buy a petrol can and fuel just to get me about 800 yards.

Can't beat a bit of fuel light bingo though.

The problems with immediate payment on items that are collection are that I get robbed of 3.4% by paypal and the buyer pays for the item, collects it, then claims they never got the item so get refunded. As I won't have a dispatch note or receipt from a courier I can't prove they got the item. This is why all my collection only items are cash on collection only

Ah okay, I don't offer collection, ain't waiting for idiots who never turn up..

I post most stuff but trying to get a set of alloy wheels or a gear box through the slot in a post box is quite difficult.

Rock as in Rolling stones or stuff like Areosmith, Def Leppard etc. Or slightly heavier? Interested to hear you're suggestions on t cut alternatives too...
