Geoff , Kevin is first cuz he asked first . But you can go second if you like . If you're not happy with that , you and Kevin will probably have to wrestle for first .

Catalyst , there's plenty of room for you and the bro and we should still be running at 12 .

Hey Stevo...!!!

One quick question. Is it worth my while going and getting my car dyno-tested if the clutch is starting to slip? Is it worth while going and getting a fairly accurate read out or am i just urinating into the wind? Still well up for going, this is not an excuse to pull out at all, just wonderin how accurate it will be.

As far as i know Graham , a slippy clutch shouldn't matter . The process is quite simple . Martin will put the car on the rollers , type in your details into the dynoputer thing and then proceed to drive your car (ever so gently) until it reaches it's full potential BHP and Torque wise . It just means that in testing your car , it'll take a few seconds longer to get there . He won't be over revving the car and will only change up gears to 3rd or 4th cuz after that you start to lose power .

She'd need alot of Imac or go through a fair share of razor blades to keep that hair trimmed down, a ride on lawnmower might be more suitable    Is that milk or coco chocolate Geoff ? I don't think Sue would like what your other friend gets up to when you are in her company

or use my directions...

Westward are just off the main street in Enfield (see red star). On the Galway side of the town there is a turn North towards Trim / Rathmoylan (on left if coming from Galway). Take this turn. Westward are the 1st right turn off this road - its signposted.
