    Ahhhh! Try one ... That's all we live on when we go camping now because we set fire to the rear blinds of the Bongo with the primus so nobody can be trusted to cook anything now.

    I find taking it off with 80 grade sand paper means you cut it back quite quick

    Think i just over did the filler and its quite thick and tacky.Maybe because its kept in outside garage perhaps.

    I had to, completely the wrong time of year for painting and with the mini stuck outside I could do without an excuse for any rust to start.

    But i bet you tell your customers when you arrive on the job and let them know when you go and when you plan to return? These guys don't!

I can't be the only person that forgets to breath when they're nervous/anxious/awaiting news, can i?! I literally sit and hold my breath without realising it until i feel slightly faint. Weird.

Ball joint snapped on a roundabout outside of Guildford today, fortunately not too much damage, only a tyre and squashed front valance to repair, just pissed off from these stupid potholes.....

    It's not so bad in a 'modern' car, but, in a Mini, you can shatter your teeth as well.

    was it a genuine ball joint? just out of interest...

    Yup, genuine ball joint from minispares. I recon some non-genuine joints are as good as genuine, as long as they are best treated

Now I'm not a religious person by any means, but actually praying to God that the bag I gave the bin men on my way out this morning didn't have my IPad Air in it... Seems to have disappeared and a bag of rubbish I thought I gave them is still here...

    We could move the mini as it is in a Luton Transit. We could get everything else in it too.

    One trip, job done! BOOM

    It is for the older photoshop but is the same principle on the later versions. Which version do you have? I am using CS6
    Nov 18 2014 08:57 PM

    Vinay-RS
    I am using my friends copy, which is CS5. Plus I wasn't planning on using photoshop initially. It just has so many more editing options that he suggested I give it a try.
