    tbf it was a schoolboy error, not enough fuel for a sample...

    button got a ban in the bar honda for that years back...

    i have a distant relative who works at williams & at a family do the other week, he was telling me a tale about red bulls abilities with carbon fibre.. he'd heard about some sort of clever chip that was able to alter the characteristics of a cf component. a red bull sponsored snowboarder had something similar in his board... i'd heard they had some clever stuff to do with understanding cf on a molecular level, which is how they have managed to beat the 'stick a heavy weight on the front wing' deflection test, yet run their wings lower in the race...

    my eldest daughter got herself grounded after deciding not to answer her phone having gone off to her boyfriends house after meeting him in town (they are 14) without anyone knowing about it...leaving my mrs & me in such a state, we were about to call the police & report her missing, it was not funny at all

    the last 10 days have been a game of cat & mouse involving her stealing phones, DSI's & laptops from her sisters to keep herself connected on facebook, and as an example, she would be in bed for 11pm, and when i get up at 4am to go to work, i'd find her asleep with yet another device in her hand, & connected to fb.. seriously, if she'd put as much effort into good causes, the world would be a much better place...

    my happy is this...

    i've never bothered to use facebook because i have no interest in other peoples toileting habits....but tonight, i managed to hack her account & change the email addresses & passwords. so she has no contact at all with the outside world via any form of media apart from our land line & she needs permission for that..

    A 99p bottle of black liquid shoe polish and a 4 spoke RS steering wheel combining forces with pleasing results.

    Luckily for me, I never go anywhere fancy. That couldn't have happened to you at a worse time, could it!

    I plan to finish it off with some of the paste polish. I will be sure to buff it all off!

    Hopefully, I have turned a 50+ quid steering wheel into a 100 quid one. Well, as long as it resembles one, that will do me.
