How did that happen? There I was watching The Prisoner and all of a sudden I'm hosting a small party in my room until 6am. I wasn't even drinking!

Words cannot describe how much I want these Watanabe RS8 wheels.
4x100, ET 38, 15x6.5j. On a set of 185/55 tyres, they should fit... Maybe. :lol:
Those plus the Mike Satur adaptors (that I didn't realise are adjustable for any PCD from 95.25-114.3, didn't even consider that!), probably some spigot rings... Amounts to a whole heap of win...

Found the East Anglia Film Archive today courtesy of a letter in PC magazine. It was worth the cover price just to discover this little gem of a road safety film (watch to the end.... :) )

I'm now soaking my engine in some heavy agressive stuff that solves all oil and rust, also in the waterholes. Have to get it out in about 5 minutes otherwise i can find no engine anymore in the tub.

The knowledge that I have a new grinder at home which I could be using to mend my car is killing me. I know they say be careful what you wish for, but I wish I had more work!

Fiat Uno TwinAir. Quite a good car by most accounts with a particularly good engine in this guise I've read. So why did it end up with such an utter s##t-vert?
