Indeed. I'm not a fan of spell checkers. The following passes without a single error:

Ode to a Spell Checker

I have a spelling chequer
I disk covered four my PC.
It plane lee marks four my revue
Miss steaks aye can knot see.
Eye ran this poem threw it.
Your sure real glad two no.
Its very polished in its weigh,
My checker tolled me sew.

A checker is a blessing.
It freeze yew lodes of thyme.
It helps me right awl stiles two reed,
And aides me when aye rime.

Each frays comes posed up on my screen
Eye trussed too bee a joule.
The checker pours o'er every word
To cheque sum spelling rule.

Bee fore wee rote with checkers
Hour spelling was inn deck line,
Butt now when wee dew have a laps,
Wee are not maid too wine.

And now bee cause my spelling
Is checked with such grate flare,
There are know faults in awl this peace,
Of nun eye am a wear.

To rite with care is quite a feet
Of witch won should be proud,
And wee mussed dew the best wee can,
Sew flaws are knot aloud.

That's why eye brake in two averse
Caws Eye dew want too please.
Sow glad eye yam that aye did bye
This soft wear four pea seas.

Sorry to Hijack thread and I'm not for one moment trying to be a spelling Nazi - just made me laugh that's all.

All the best with the engine swap - keep the updates coming!

Cheers

Sorry. As you were.

WHOOPS!!!! thats the what I get for using spell check.

I have copied and pasted this into my other threads on different forums,
Lets see how many other people see/spot it?

Or should we call you Zebedee?

3" stainless, no cat, full body Dynomax. It could use a resonator to tame the raspiness a touch. It is pretty quiet on the road. This is a video before I really tuned it much. I need to make a newer video now it is running better, maybe one driving the car.

And now for mine.

I used bits of junk and a tie-wraps to get the alternator where
it should finally end up.(I hope!!)



In both the above and below photos you can see my walking stick,
it was the only good long straight thing to hand.
The end of the walking tick is pressed against the top of the socket
for the right drive shaft.



Do you think I have enough clearance for he drive shaft?





One of the plates made from the cardboard templates.



Two cardboard templates, and the resulting 3 metal blanks.

The number given for my intake manifold is a
confirmation number according to seller.

But just checked it and it just came back!

So not long now, I only hope they clearly marked
the actual costs on the shipping/export label.
Or that will delay things at customs!

I have taken Jimbo's advise on the power steering
pulley as I dropped the one I have. And with it
being a type of plastic has broken the rim.

I have bought one through
http://www.discountautoparts.com

Pulley $14.42
Handling $30.00
Total $44.42 = £27.27

it was the only good long straight thing to hand.

Oooeerrr missus!

That's nothing, mine are telescopic, spring loaded and can be fully erected within seconds at the push of a very tiny knob........

That reminds me; I didn't get my innuendo vaccination last winter. Certainly explains the way in which that perfectly innocent post came out all wrong.

The inlet manifold arrived today so I placed it on the bench
with the 98 voyagers.

93 Voyager



98 Voyager





The earlier inlet manifold's neck will give more space in the
engine bay with it's tighter turn just after the throttle body

Jimbo wasn't kidding about the earlier manifold having a
lower profile!

98 Voyager on the left, 93 Voyager on the right.







So with the lowering of the engine too I won't need to cut
the frame out of the bonnet

The engine mounts that I painted green are going to be repainted,
so I might as well do the manifold too as it's paint is pealing off.
So what colour do you think?
NOT GREEN!!!
Black, Blue, Fire engine Red, Burgandy?
