Oh, not just me then :P

I didn't make myself popular with my eldest son by telling him that the black alloys on his black ST225 looked dreadful, and reminded me of black steelies where someone had nicked the hub caps :lol:

To me, silver or grey are the only correct colours for alloys, anything else just looks :roll:

I'm such a moonmin, i only left the hilti switched on, interior led strips and inverter and probably the powerall, reason i knew was that the Lecky mirrors didn't open :? The van started tho so in a twisted kind of way the non opening mirrors served as a low front battery warning system 8)

The hilti is a T handle switch which you can remove the handle, I'm going to see if there's an electronic time out device. :-)

Yes, van still there :P got it upto 34.1mpg tonight (screw you bjt) :lol:

It's a lovely thing to drive, especially since the injector replaced and i tightened up underneath and got rid of the clonking :o

Although it corners a bit poo and the clutch is grabby because it is easy. It'll loosen up no doubt tho :-)
