    Miss Fiona is the lucky recipient of one of these rings.
    They are exsquisetly beautiful.

    Give me an older car to work on any day of the week, the moment they started putting computers in cars things all turned pear shaped!
    I've got a VX at the moment that will just stop at random intervals just when you need it to least, sometimes it starts straight back up, other times you have to wait half and hour...an hour, imagine how much fun that is on a hot day with the kids in the car.
    Went to the trouble of buying a diagnostics cable/software and have since replaced the fuel filiter, 2 O2 sensors, the ignition module and the coil pack after receiving those error codes on the diagnostics, long story short, it's still doing it....and giving me the same error codes even after replacing. Now I'm getting errors for the camshaft sensor and the crankshaft sensor which I can't do myself anyway because you need a special tool to get the pulley off the front of the motor.
    Computers.....overrated! (and not as smart as they make out)

    I guess building and playing guitars is a given on here.

    There seems to be a certain dislike for cricket so to balance it up a bit I am about to complete the 51st year since first playing mens cricket ( got graded from school at 14 ), there have been a few seasons off along the way and this will be the last season because the body can't take any more.

    I have posted this elsewhere, but this one is my 4th car build from scratch ( not a kit ) and I may do one more. This was at Eastern Creek in August last year

    Barge, awesome artwork now I know where your guitar design talent comes from! In our house apart from guitars and everything else related building model aeroplanes or anything else that flies is the flavour of the moment. We currently spend quite a bit of time naffing around with a remote control helicopter which is fun.
