The work experience kid has been given the task of designing a promotional bra for breast cancer research. We've spent the whole afternoon in the office making jokes about 'hands on testing' etc. You can tell he is really uncomfortable with it but its funny.

All he has to do is apply the logo to a fairly generic pink bra and he only has to do it as a CAD model.

If you don't have chance to take her for a spin, you can always let me drive her again. How are you electrics holding up?

never thought I'd end up using silver leaf in a car restoration....that's usually just for restoring picture frames right?

I think there was a chrome wrapped Lambo at the Autosport show the other week - didnt really look at it as I whizzed past to see the old 70s and 80s motors at the back! But a silver wrapped mini would be subject for debate on here!!!

Isn't decoupage the old fashioned word for sticker-bombing? ;)

Isnt that about the same for every job on a Mini? Takes twice as long as it should - but I used to put that down to just me!

Lets chalk it up to tight spaces and operator error.

I almost bought a shell last night for 20e, my wife didn't look happy so I retracted my bid. Shell looked great too, just no paperwork
