I detest.

I tried a 'Custom made' 3 legged ginger bread man today. He tasted awesome.

The third leg makes all the difference.

Thanks, I really pull them off well. Yes it's a lovely red, I though it was a bit dark but I got it outside and it really looks awesome. Very bright! The pics don't really do it justice. I was going to paint the panels tonight, but I was too tired, so I hung them up in the booth all ready for me in the morning! Laters, gaters.

My day was going very well upto that point, and then on the way home the mini died.. The battery cable shorted against the front subframe, and caused a couple of festive little fires in the boot and under the bonnet. was slightly alarming, no major damage done, just need a new battery cable, boot mat, and a random wire in the engine bay... I f*cking love cars...

Amazing looking MGB panels ...

... but bad luck on the fires, glad they didn't do too much damage, I bet that was pretty scary. Take it you had a fire extinguisher on board.

It's a love hate thing at times I guess!

Yup extinguisher in the boot! but I didn't need to use it, I just stamped on the boot mat and a wire had been set alight, which went out on it's own. Alot more smoke than actual fire! still scary though!
