Am I dedicated or just plain mad?
« on: 24 October 2005, 22:31 »
Changed the clutch cable on the golf in the pouring rain tonight. I was soaked through to the skin, but at least the clutch is sorted now :D

Is anyone else as dedicated/mad as this? lol

Terraced house, no garden, no drive. Lost count of the number of times I've been working on the car outside in the rain/ wind/dark/all of these with neighbours saying to me "you must be mad". If it needs doing, there's no time like the present, whatever the conditions. Would love a heated spacious garage though.
