Well by the time he's done his hair, lifted his tools out one by one (sockets are heavy you know), found his scissors, some gloves, a shower cap to keep his hair clean and got his boyfriend to make him a nice cup of hot chocolate and a scarf, thermals, gloves etc to keep all nice and warm.........
THEN, he's ready to work on the MX-5.
My MX-5 owning collegemate is the same.
It's why the MX-5 fourm take so long to fit a set of wheels.
Day one, get tools ready
Day two, undo one nut.
etc etc etc.
It's why the members ride project threads are so slow.
