If this post works then no, no such luck. :lol:

Aron, that's a fairly mad suggestion. Why? 'Cos I don't have a dog of course!

:| Dammit! Foiled again. Sadly, my pockets were full of earth very quickly so the tunnel only made it as far as the edge of a scary-looking cliff on the south coast where a worried-looking man was sitting in a small, uniquely British car, revving the engine and mumbling something about life being so hard without a benevolent heiress to clean up after him that he'd definitely drive over the edge - just as soon as the RAC had been out to sort out that broken halfshaft.

Oh come on, what's two years when we get to our age? :P I may yet have another Dolomatic or even an Automite but for now, I'll live out the remainder of my seventh (or is it the eighth?) life on Practically, having taken time out to reflect that I'm every bit as capable as anyone else of being a big old tit sometimes.


Seriously? Can a bloke not bugger off to South America without arousing such speculation? Next time I appear to be AWOL, that's where I'll be, just as soon as the Venezuelans have done with shooting at each other.
Moving on and accepting that my Cord may have to stay over there then.....

Welcome back to the fold John.

I found a cord for you while you were away
Understeer: when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
Oversteer: when you hit the wall with the back of the car.
Horsepower: how fast you hit the wall.
Torque: how far you take the wall with you.

OK, it was this one:
