Take apart, take pictures of everything, put back with shiny things. It's not hard, just don't start with an awful base!!

Went to Arthur this morning. Headliner full of water, foot wells swimming, seats furry with mould! Urgh! What's best to wash mould away with?

I want a talking mini. I could make one. Has it been done. I don't think there would be a market. A proper talking mini. Not something that seems robotic and slow, something friendly.

I also want a talking Mini, I'd go for a pint with it and then it could drive me home. "It's OK officer, my car drove itself.."

Just had a driving lesson very soon before my first test, and to say the least I was not good and very tense. Any tips?

Have the Jeremy Clarkson attitude, it's not a test, more a confirmation of my excellence. :)

Need something more scary to happen a few days before your test so it seems like less of a deal. My Dad had a heart attack the day before my 'mock test'. Dx

putting a few chewing gums in my mouth always calmed me down, and still does if I'm ever feeling tense! Used it for my test also :)

I have thought the same. Still not sure though. May make a quick one from cardboard and stick it on. xD

Yeah good call - although they're not very expensive to buy from ebay - might just buy one and try it....
