How much did you pay for the ATE blue in the end Amar?

Think I paid about £10.50 after discount from ECP if that helps

MRC used just over 1 tin flushing and changing mine. Sorry but can't remember off the top of my head how much is in a tin.

I used one litre to flush my system and I wasn't stingy. Still, I bought 2 bottles anyway. If your stuff is unopened it might be OK.

MRC used about 1.2 litres on mine, so I only need to order one more bottle.

Spamming because I like the sound of my own keyboard (mmm, cherry black switches, clackety clack bitches). The to-do list for before ADI on Oct 13th is as follows:

Complete front brake upgrade project
Get custom rear brake project fitted
Get new brakes resprayed
Get rear bumper yanked off and fully resprayed as is looking a little tired from previous owner
Gut Daveperc's old mirrors and fit the brand new assemblies in to them
Have valeter buddy do a full works detail and paint correction just before ADI
Look at getting all bushes etc on the front torn out and replace/uprated as feeling a little bit sloppy to me from my baboonery behind the wheel

Sorry to bore but this serves as a reminder list for me as much as mindless gibbering for your viewing pleasure. It also serves to remind me how much of a tool I am pouring all of this money in to this car but heh, I wasn't gifted with brains.

What does your detailer pal use on the paintwork, it has a decent shine after he's worked on it. Has he done a full paint correction with a machine etc...?

He is a pro but he changes his products pretty often I think as he tries more and goes for training/tip saring with other detailers. he recently had a day's training with some bloke that is sposed to be the no1 detailer in the country, I think? Just so he could perfect his craft a little bit more. He always tells me about the new products but it goes in one ear and out the other to be perfectly honest. He has done a full paint correction and that was what I meant I am going to get him to do as he wants another crack at it. he uses my car as a Guinea Pig for a lot of new stuff.

He did all the detailing on all the Muscle cars used in the recent Johnny Depp/Tim Burton movie, Dark Shadows, if memory serves.

To-do-list before ADI:

- Not die
- Train liver to except the maximum amount of alcohol in a one-night session
- Maybe get some new brake pads before the ADI track session
- Maybe wash car
- Not go to jail

There are other things I could list but I reckon they'd all start overlapping and blur together, so I've kept it simple.

That one wasn't for you, Footers. It was planted for Amar and Chunk, I honestly thought Amar would be all over that one like sh1t on velcro.
Now, dare I skim over your last three of four essays posts?

I 100% genuinely saw that earlier, got all excited and smug like, clicked my fingers and was ready to correct you and relish the moment but then soon realised something was fishy, it was too obvious a typo - I was being set up. Also, maybe you did mean you wanted to train your liver to 'except' alcohol, the sentence does still work, kind of.
