Smacked myself in the head with something rather solid while working on the project car today. I now have a couple of stitches to show for my efforts and wasted the afternoon in emergency instead of being in the garage.

Hello Fordsy,

"Smacked myself in the head with something rather solid while working on the project car today. I now have a couple of stitches to show for my efforts and wasted the afternoon in emergency instead of being in the garage."

Yeh, but what about the important part?....was the car injured at all? [:0]

In the battle of alloy hub vs forehead, alloy hub came through undamaged. The car has been sitting on the trolley jack since I belted my head so I'll see in the morning just how good it is at holding up the shell.

A few years ago I would have introduced the 14lb sledge hammer to the alloy hub but i've mellowed a little in my old age..

Well decided to take a few pic's of the RS today parked it just out of Carport. In the garage i hear a crack & go have a look and there is a star in my front screen(4 weeks old). Think what the, go back in garage two minutes later and hear bang on roof, turns out the little %$^& across the road have a sling shot. So call out and they keep walking back into house. Anyway i confront & hold my tongue. Little %^$& now going to be $200 poorer. Car not even on road yet & cop this.

Replaced the fuel hoses on the rs.... had some sitting on the windscreen while i was upside down under the dash i read "not for fuel injection" F#$#@!!![88] [B)]

Many people have been caught out by this. The worst part is when you are dealing with short lengths and the "NOT FOR" part has been cut off. So it then reads "FUEL INJECTION".

Craig.

stacked the daily last night :(

What made me angry today, and continues to anger me, is the "Nudgee bottleneck" on the Gateway Motorway, northbound.
Hot tip: If you want to be an a**hole and congest it even more, take the far left lane into Shell service station, weave behind it and hit the on-ramp. You'll get home quicker at the expense of others. Have a nice day [xx(]

Yep then you get the deagon run on if you are in the right lane you need to be 2 inches off the car infront or some unpleasant individual will cut infront to save waiting 5 seconds to let the oncoming merge.

Then theres the fake speed camera around the corner that you need to slow down for after coming down the "big straight" at whatever speed [88]

[8~2] Just scratched the red RS rear pass. flare on the edge of the container...not even on the road an ive scratched it....
