Rich and John you should be aware I have no money, as every time I
use her car which maybe once or twice a week I'm the one who puts
far more fuel in the tank than I would need, as every time I get
behind the wheel the fuel light is on!

Okay the back box is hung under the car by it's hangers, and a bungee
strap from the towbar bracket under the back box to the suspension to
stop it rotating and dropping the tail pipes to the floor. Here are the
photographs for you scrutiny on the length of the exhaust tail pipe
length and how they sticks out.

I have been to the garage, that damaged fourth VW Beetle wheel was not
worth getting repair. So all the tyres were removed and dropped in at the
skips as all were far to far gone. Tomorrow the 3 steel rims will get a good
scrub clean and put somewhere in the tool shed out of the way.

I have picked up my new prescription distance glasses, and I have been told
I can get away without reading glasses for the moment but I may need them
next time, added to which the slight colour blindness by the lazer treatment
to keep what sight I have. Is it any wonder I have been getting headaches
and going cross-eyed when reading fine print and wiring diagrams, let alone
trying to distinguish the colours on the wiring loom!

So now you know why I have held off on the wiring, and as I had to wait till I
was due for an eye test to get them checked.

Dinner at a restaurant, so I don't have to cook it or do the dishes.
We have the stuff stored from the relatives house all over the place,
so if she wanted something we probably brought 5 or 6+ of that item
back when clearing the house out!

Did you end up with it hitting you around the back of the head?
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.
