I've been getting alot of that recently. I was selling car stereos (old ones) on eBay and the number of people that bid then didn't pay or reply to messages is startling!
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.

Well you'll be pleased to heat it didn't meet the reserve, though it got close at a coupe quid under 4k.

So i got back on it yesterday, and made a start on the A post/screen surround/dash area, bout an hour in my welder died (tips and shrouds ordered on the bay this morning), so I spent a few hours on the grinder, flatting welds. I'm on the hunt for a seat this week so i can set up the dash, so hopefully this time next week I can add a picture up date.
