Mick, welcome to the world of Sportec - your car looks seriously mint IMHO - nice one mate.

From my experience [img]images/graemlins/roflmao.gif[/img] keep away from Maccydees, KFC and BK, their curbs are far too high for us Sportec guys to negotiate. In fact i am still awaiting an email reply from Maccydees CEO as to why he has scraped my Sportecs on 4 different occasions [img]images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] you never know ........

Funny you should say that about a bird.
As I do shift work, was coming home the other week around 5am... Roads back home fairly quiet, as you would expect. Now I always keep an eye out for rabbits as the roads I use have fields either sides. Always see the little bunnies sitting at the side of the road. Anyway, inbetween dodging all the squished bunnies there was a group of pigeons on the road approaching a roundabout. Most scattered but one decided to do a u-turn right in front of me...Needless to say he won't be doing that again....

Just thought I'd share that with you. [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
