Yeah apparently its the another of "one of the best days of your life". Was one of the most stressful of mine! Speeches and dances didn't bother me, it was the running about like a twit making sure everything was ok in the hours leading up to it that got me! Its the same as child birth, I NEVER EVER want to witness that again! Most beautiful thing in the world, MY ARSE!!!  :sick:

No for sure it was the best day of my life, with the exception of the speech, I hate giving speeches...I didn't find any other part of the day a stress, everything seemed to work out as planned.

Not saying I want to do it again tho :laugh:...got myself a cracker  :kiss:

Well I found out the hard way that you shouldn't drink and drive...Now I'm not talking a few Bottles of Corona I'm talking about half a cup of Lucozade!!  :angry:

Somehow I managed to drop it behind the steering wheel and on the dash, It went every where... :sick: so I had to rush home whilst Lucozade was dripping onto my legs....

So as you can imagine I spent the rest of the afternoon taking the car apart to try and get it all cleaned up!

Something missing?


Oh here it is




I got there base of the seat cleaned up so the next time I sat on it I didn't stick to it  :grin: Got the seat, Clocks and headlight switch back in, didn't have time to clean the rest...went for a drive this evening and found only the rev counter lights up not the speedo and and my indicators  only work when the choose to!

I wanted to spend some more time on the car but I didn't have this planned!  :angry:

Thought its about time I did a list, not a wish list but a job list...all the things I need to do before I think of any vanity jobs:


Engine
Oil and Oil Filter
Air Filter
Cabin Filter
Plugs
HT leads
Dizzy and rotor arm
Coil
Earth Strap
All new exhaust gaskets and fittings
Replace the some of the gear linkages
Gearbox Oil change
Outer CV Joints
Front Disks and Pads
Steering Rack set up right :cry:
2 tyres

Interior
New Bolts to hold the bottom of the rear seats in.
Re-fit Speakers and wires
Fix Central Locking  :smiley:
Fix Electric Window (before the summer)

Exterior
Paint Boot Lid
Re-fit Rear Wiper
Fit New Horn

I am going to try and replace all the above with genuine parts or uprated  :smiley:

Well that's one thing off the list!  :grin:
