I wen't to U Pull It, removed three BMW differentials and piked various other bits, both for my track slag and for Ebay resale yo. It was a tough old day - removing diffs with just 40 cm of room under the car isn't much fun.

Isn't this costing you a fortune in petrol going there, it's sodding miles from anywhere?
These are some words.

They're updating to the newer board software. This has been planned for over a year. The current skin is incompatible so I made them a new custom one, which is okay but not perfect because there's some bits and pieces I couldn't figure out. I'm curious to see whether they use it or not.

That’s essentially a foreign language to me. I was fully aware but checking the main board is a reflex action to me shortly after waking up and if I get a breather at work. #HMC get a life

Tell me about it! I have a keyboard shortcut for Autoshite which I've been using several times a day for at least six years. That muscle memory is so ingrained that I'll often find myself on there when I only meant to open a new tab or something.

I finished servicing my bike after work & then washed it. It even got it's annual wax, which means it'll rain for a month.
