Sounds great! I did some cad split rim designs for a scirocco as part of a uni project, so im tempted to design my own centres and see if force will do them if I send them a cad file. just got to think of a design lol :)

I had a bit of a poke about in my eye with a sewing needle. Doc at A&E said I did a good job and got the metal out myself. Anyone want me to do theirs?

If you want to get into engineering then you need an engineering based hobby. Restore a car, race RC cars, fly RC planes/helicopters, volunteer on a preserved railway, etc.
None of the jobs I was called for an interview to was I ever asked an academic question. They were all about my hobbies. I did apply for around 400 jobs though before I got mine. Just keep at it

My mini isn't starting and hasn't done for 10 years. It isn't sparking, I have put on a new set of HT leads and a kind lead and have checked ignition coil and checked points for a spark. All this is working. What is the next step I should take to trouble shooting this problem?

6 years of TMF. Crikey where has the time gone? Thanks guys, it always has and always will be the best forum in the world. One that has shaped my life in so many ways. Heres to the many great friends I have made and the amazing times had. It's given me the one thing that I'm certain will remain in my life forever, and my little piece of perfection that I adore and cherish with my whole heart - Simon. <3 <3 Genuinely, TMF is more than a forum, more than Minis. It's happiness.

I second this. TMF has always helped me in my low moments and always made me think that it will all be ok again, and generally it has :) thank you TMF :)
